Arabic text

115- فمن ذلك ما أخبرنا به جماعة عن أبي محمد التلعكبري عن أحمد بن علي الرازي عن محمد بن جعفر الأسدي عن سعد بن عبد الله عن موسى بن عمر بن يزيد عن علي بن أسباط عن علي بن أبي حمزة عن أبي بصير عن أبي جعفر محمد بن علي عليه السلام في قول الله تعالى: ﴿قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ ماؤُكُمْ غَوْراً فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِماءٍ مَعِينٍ﴾ قال: نزلت في الإمام. فقال إن أصبح إمامكم غائبا عنكم فمن يأتيكم بإمام ظاهر يأتيكم بأخبار السماء والأرض وبحلال الله تعالى وحرامه؟ ثم قال: أما والله ما جاء تأويل هذه الآية ولا بد أن يجي‏ء تأويلها.

Translation

H 115 - Of the reports is one narrated by a group of scholars from Abu Muhammad Talakbari from Ahmad bin Ali Raazi from Muhammad bin Ja’far Asadi from Saad bin Abdullah from Musa bin Umar bin Yazid from Ali bin Asbat from Ali bin Abi Hamza from Abu Basir from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Ali (a.s) with regard the following statement of Almighty Allah: “Say: Have you considered if your water should go down, who is it then that will bring you flowing water?” (67:30) This verse is revealed about Imamate. It implies that if your Imam goes into hiding from you, while you don’t know where he is, who will bring you an apparent Imam, who can bring you the news of the heavens and the earth and the orders and prohibitions of Allah, the Exalted? Then the Imam said: Know that by Allah, this verse has not been actualized as yet and it will be actualized in the future.
