Arabic text

7 - أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد بن عقدة قال: حدثنا القاسم بن محمد بن الحسن بن حازم، قال: حدثنا عبيس بن هشام، عن عبد الله بن جبلة، عن أبى خالد المكفوف عن بعض أصحابه قال: قال أبو عبد الله: ينبغي لمَن ادّعى هذا الأمرَ في السر أن يأتيَ عليه ببرهان في العلانية. قلت: وما هذا البرهان الذي يأتي في العلانية؟ قال: يحلّ حلالَ الله ويحرم حرام الله، ويكون له ظاهرٌ يصدق باطنه.

Translation

(7) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda narrated from al-Qassim bin Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Hazim from Obayss bin Hisham from Abu Khalid al-Makfoof from some of his companions that Imam as-Sadiq (as) had said: “He, who pretends this thing (being an imam) secretly, has to show the evidence openly.” The narrator asked: “What evidence that is to be shown openly?” He said: “To permit what Allah has permitted, to prohibit what Allah has prohibited and to be truthful apparently and internally.”

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