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.
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.
