قلنا: لا يلزم ذلك لأنه لا يمتنع أن تدخل الشبهة في نوع من المعجزات دون نوع وليس إذا دخلت الشبهة في بعضها دخل في سائرها فلا يمتنع أن يكون المعجز الدال على النبوة لم تدخل عليه فيه شبهة فحصل له العلم بكونه معجزا وعلم عند ذلك نبوة النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم والمعجز الذي يظهر على يد الإمام إذا ظهر يكون أمرا آخرا يجوز أن يدخل عليه الشبهة في كونه معجزا فيشك حينئذ في إمامته وإن كان عالما بالنبوة.
We will say: That does not follow, because it is not impossible to be subject to doubts in certain miracles and not all of them. It is not necessary that if doubts arise with respect to some miracles, they do with respect to all of them. Therefore, it is possible that the miracle indicating Prophethood should not be subject to doubt and thus he attains certitude that it is a miracle and realizes the Prophethood of the Prophet (s) and the miracle that appears on the hands of the Imam be another matter, in which he could have doubts, and thus, he finds doubts in his Imamate, even if he is a believer in Prophethood.
