Hadith 377
۞
Even if we accept the reliability of the tradition that, “he will rise after his demise,” it could mean that he will rise after his name will die and after he will be in hiding and will not be known, which is possible in the language. Our proof that the Imams are Twelve also disproves this claim. Besides, the followers of this creed have perished, and praise belongs to the Lord. Had they been righteous in their beliefs, they would not have perished.
على أن قوله يقوم بعد ما يموت لو صح الخبر احتمل أن يكون أراد يقوم بعد ما يموت ذكره ويخمل ولا يعرف،وهذا جائز في اللغة. وما دللنا به على أن الأئمة اثنا عشر يبطل هذا المقال لأن الحسن بن علي عليه السلام هو الحادي عشر فيبطل قولهم على أن القائلين بذلك قد انقرضوا ولله الحمد ولو كان حقا لما انقرض القائلون به.
