Arabic text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‌ مَا تَرَكَ اللَّهُ الْأَرْضَ بِغَيْرِ عَالِمٍ يَنْقُصُ مَا زَادُوا وَ يَزِيدُ مَا نَقَصُوا وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَاخْتَلَطَتْ عَلَى النَّاسِ أُمُورُهُمْ.

Translation

Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan (ra): Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah; and Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari, all of them from Muhammad bin Isa from Ali bin Ismail Mithami from Thalaba bin Maimoon from Abdul Ali bin Ayan from Abi Ja’far (as) that he said: “Allah does not leave the earth without a scholar who reduces what they (people) increase (in religion) and increases what they reduce. If it had not been thus, the affairs of the people would have become confusing for them.”

Translation: Sayyid Athar Husain S. H. Rizvi — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
