Arabic text

16 - أخبرنا عبد الواحد بن عبد الله قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن رباح، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن علي الحميري، قال: حدثني الحسن بن أيوب، عن عبد الكريم بن عمرو الخثعمي، عن عبد الله بن أبي يعفور قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله: رجلٌ يتولاكم ويبرء من عدوكم ويحلّل حلالكم ويحرم حرامكم ويزعم أن الأمرَ فيكم لم يخرج منكم إلى غيركم، إلا أنه يقول: إنهم قد اختلفوا فيما بينهم وهم الأئمة القادة، فإذا اجتمعوا على رجل فقالوا هذا، قلنا هذا. فقال: إنْ مات على هذا فقد ماتَ ميتة جاهلية.

Translation

(16) Abdul Wahid bin Abdullah narrated from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Rabah from Ahmad bin Ali al-Himyari from al-Hasan bin Ayyoob from Abdul Kareem bin Amr al-Khath’ami that Abdullah bin Abu Ya’foor had said: I said to Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as): “Someone believes in your guardianship, exempts himself from your enemy, permits what you have permitted, refrains from what you have prohibited and thinks that the imamate is still among you and will never go to other than you but he says: They (the infallible imams) have disagreed among themselves while they are the leading imams. If they agree upon a man and say that it is he (the imam), we will say that it is he.” Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) said: If this someone remains with this opinion, he will die as an unbeliever.
