You have got things a bit wrong. If the statements are made by scholars of repute and calibre and have the name like Hz. Ibn `Abbas, Masruq, Abu Malik, Al-Hasan Al-Basri (May Allah (swt) be pleased with them all) then I follow, full stop. Because my thinking cannot and will never ever surpass their thinking.
وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَدَّ الأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْهَارًا وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
13:3 Wahuwa allathee madda alarda wajaAAala feeha rawasiya waanharan wamin kulli alththamarati jaAAala feeha zawjayni ithnayni yughshee allayla alnnahara inna fee thalika laayatin liqawmin yatafakkaroona
The ayah of Quran 13:03 that you have quoted the word ‘yatafakkaroona’ means the following
*consider, contemplate, deliberate, entertain, excogitate, meditate, mull, muse, reflect, revolve, ruminate, study, think, think out, think over, think through, turn over, weigh up, chew over, cogitate. *
See how he prominent translators have translated the word ‘yatafakkaroona’
And He it is Who spread the earth and made in it firm mountains and rivers, and of all fruits He has made in it two kinds; He makes the night cover the day; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect. [Shakir 13:3]
And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider! [Yusufali 13:3]
And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills and flowing streams, and of all fruits He placed therein two spouses (male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought. [Pickthal 13:3]
And you sir, are engaged in mere speculating and not thinking. And that is very dangerous.
Speculating:
To engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence. To assume to be true without conclusive evidence To engage in the buying or selling of a commodity with an element of risk on the chance of profit.

What about Haz Abdullah bin Hudhafah bin Qays bin `Adi (ra)............. being sahabi.................... would u follow him or not...............and he was refused to be followed/obeyed even he was appoimted as a leader for rest of the sahaba with him....................
1) rest of the sahaba refused to obey him, thus Prophet (pbuh) and in turn Allah (swt)............ blindly and were wrong
2) they did not follow him but used their brain and heart and were right
3) He ordered some thing blindly and was wrong
4) he ordered some thing thoughtfully but was right
Just my brother come up with the answer to this???????????????? and u will find out the usage and importance of brain............or yataafakaroon..............
Quran gives u usool and does not go open/loud about every thing................to give u an example look at the level of taqwaa or superiority of the 3 types of muslims
1) slave ......... and does not know why but prays to Allah2) labouror ............. praying to Allah for janaa and........
3) Free........ prays to Allah coz of love and understanding of Him..........
do u consider them same..................
sahabaa meray leye Haji hay ( yanee kay kabil-e-ihteram) but alim nahee and Alim is Prophet (pbuh) only...................and now coz none of them and Prophet (pbuh) is actively here and every thng comes thru different sources thus i use quran, hadith, and brain................. does not follow blindly................
" as prophet told the non-followers of Haz Abdullah bin Hudhafah bin Qays bin `Adi that they did good not to follow him..............."
Wasalm...................
