Arabic text

وأما من قال إن الأمر مشتبه فلا يدرى هل للحسن عليه السلام ولد أم لا، وهو مستمسك بالأول حتى يتحقق ولادة ابنه، فقوله أيضا يبطل بما قلناه من أن الزمان لا يخلو من إمام، لأن موت الحسن عليه السلام قد علمناه كما علمنا موت غيره. وسنبين ولادة ولده فيبطل قولهم أيضا.

Translation

As for the saying that the situation is confusing and it cannot be decided whether Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) sired a son or not, and until the birth of his son is established, we will adhere to the Imamate of Hasan; it is also invalidated through our assertion that no time can be without an Imam, because we know Hasan (a.s) is dead just as we know many other people to be dead, and we will prove the birth of his son as well, so their claim is also falsified.

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