1. Muhammad b. Yahya al-‘Attar narrated from Ahmad b. Muhammad b.‘Isa from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Hassan b. Mahbub from Dawud al-Riqqi from the Righteous servant [al-Kadhim] (as) who said
“Allah’s holding people accountable remains unjustified without the Imam who would teach people about Him.”
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ عَنِ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ الْحُجَّةَ لا تَقُومُ لله عَلَى خَلْقِهِ إِلا بِإِمَامٍ حَتَّى يُعْرَفَ.
