2 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّه، عَن عبّاد بْنِ سُلَيْمان، عَن سَعْدِ بْنِ الأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ عُمَر، عَن أَبي الحَسَن الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ قُلْتُ هَلْ تَبْقَى الأَرْضُ بِغَيْرِ إِمَامٍ فَقالَ: لا. قلتُ: فَإِنَّا نَرْوِي، عَن أَبِي عَبْدِاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لا تَبْقَى إِلا أَنْ يَسْخَطَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ فَقَالَ: لا تَبْقَى إِذاً لَسَاخَتْ.
28-2 My father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ebad ibn Soleiman, on the authority of Sa’d ibn Sa’d al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Umar, “I asked Abil Hassan Al-Ridha (s), ‘Will the Earth be left without a Divine Leader?’ The Imam (s) said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘It has been narrated for us on the authority of Abi Abdullah (as-Sadiq) (s) that it will not be left without one unless God deals hard with the servants.’ Then the Imam (s) said, ‘The Earth will not be left without a Divine Leader, otherwise it will devour all its residents.’”
