Arabic text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ مَوْلَى طِرْبَالٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام يَقُولُ‌ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لَمْ تَخْلُ إِلَّا وَ فِيهَا عَالِمٌ كَيْمَا إِنْ زَادَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ شَيْئاً رَدَّهُمْ إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَ إِنْ نَقَصُوا شَيْئاً تَمَّمَهُ لَهُمْ.

Translation

Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan -May Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari from Muhammad bin Husain from Ali bin Asbat from Sulaym, slave of Tirbal from Ishaq bin Ammar that he said: I heard Abi Abdullah (as) say: “The earth never remains devoid of a scholar so that if the Muslims exceed in some matter he may bring them back to truth and if they are deficient in some matter he may complete for them.”

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