حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيىعن علي بن السندي، عن محمد بن عمرو، عن بعض أصحابنا، عن نصر بن قابوس قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: " وبئر معطلة وقصر مشيد " قال: البئر المعطلة: الامام الصامت، والقصر المشيد: الامام الناطق.
2. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Idris, from Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Yahya bin Ali bin al-Sindi, from Muhammed bin Amru, from some of our companions, from Nasr bin Qabus, 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.
