Arabic text

2 - وأخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد قال: حدثنا محمد بن المفضل بن إبراهيم الأشعري، قال: حدثني محمد بن عبد الله بن زرارة، عن مرزبان القمي، عن عمران الأشعري، عن جعفر بن محمد أنه قال: ثلاثةٌ لا ينظر الله إليهم يوم القيامة ولا يزكّيهم ولهم عذاب أليم: مَن زعم أنه إمامٌ وليس بإمام، ومن زعم في أمام حقٍ أنه ليس بإمام وهو إمام، ومَن زعم أن لهما في الإسلام نصيباً.

Translation

(2) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed narrated from Muhammad bin al-Mufadhdhal bin Ibraheem al-Ash’ari from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Zurara from Marzban al-Qummi from Imran al-Ash’ari that Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as) had said: “There are three persons, whom Allah will not speak to on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He look upon nor will He purify and shall have a painful chastisement; one, who pretends that he is an imam but he is not, the other one is he, who claims that the real imam is not an imam and the third one is he, who claims that these two persons are faithful Muslims.”

Translation: Abdullah al-Shahin — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
