Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · The meaning of the Abandoned Well and the Lofty Palace
حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن أحمد بن يونس الليثي، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد الكوفي، قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن أبيه، عن إبراهيم ابن زياد، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام في قول الله عز وجل: " وبئر معطلة وقصر مشيد " قال: البئر المعطلة: الامام الصامت، والقصر المشيد: الامام الناطق.
1. We were told by Muhammed bin Ibrahim bin Ahmad bin Yunus al-Laythi, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Sa’eed al-Kufi, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from his brother, from Ibrahim ibn Ziyad, that he said: I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «and an abandoned well and a lofty palace» (22:45). He said: The Abandoned Well is the Silent Imam, and the Lofty Palace is the Speaking Imam.
