Hadith 189
۞
If it is said: What is the way of finding the truth during occultation of the Imam? If you say that there is no way, you have led people to confusion, misguidance and doubt in all their affairs; and if you say that the truth is found through its proofs, you will be told that this is a clear admission of lack of need of the Imam through these proofs.
فإن قيل: كيف الطريق إلى إصابة الحق مع غيبة الإمام؟فإن قلتم: لا سبيل إليها،جعلتم الخلق في حيرة وضلالة وشك في جميع أمورهم.وإن قلتم: يصاب الحق بأدلته،قيل لكم هذا تصريح بالاستغناء عن الإمام بهذه الأدلة.
