Arabic text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالا حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ فِي حَالِ اسْتِقَامَتِهِ‌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام يَمْضِي الْإِمَامُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَقِبٌ قَالَ لَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ فَيَكُونُ مَا ذَا قَالَ لَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَغْضَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ فَيُعَاجِلَهُمْ.

Translation

Narrated to us my father; and Muhammad bin Hasan - may Allah be pleased with them -they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah; and Abdullah bin Ja’far, they said: Narrated to us Yaqoob bin Yazid from Ahmad bin Hilal – (when he was on the right faith) ¬from Muhammad bin Abi Umair from Uzainah from Zurarah that he asked Abi Abdullah (as): “Is it possible for an Imam to pass away without being succeeded by anyone?” The Imam replied: “It will never be so.” I (the narrator) asked: “Can it ever happen thus?” He replied: “No, it can never be so, except that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime will send wrath on His creatures and deal with them (immediately).”
