حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْحَلَّالِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا عليه السلام إِنَّا رُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لَا تَبْقَى بِغَيْرِ إِمَامٍ أَ وَ تَبْقَى وَ لَا إِمَامَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ لَا تَبْقَى سَاعَةً إِذاً لَسَاخَتْ.

Translation

Narrated to us my father (ra) that: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab from Abi Dawood Sulaiman bin Sufyan Mustariq from Ahmad bin Umar Hallal that he said: “I asked Abul Hasan al-Ridha (as): “It is narrated to us from Abi Abdullah (as) that he either said: ‘The earth will not remain without an Imam’ or ‘it will remain without an Imam in it’; (what is the correct version?) He replied: ‘God forbid! It will not survive for a moment but that it will indeed cave into itself.’”

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