۞
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘There is a group of people who claim that I am their Imam, but by Allah, I am no Imam of theirs, may Allah curse them, every time I conceal a secret, they disclose it. Every time I explain a matter, they retort, saying, ‘Actually that means such and such. I am only the Imam of those who obey me.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): قَومٌ يَزعُمُونَ أنّي إمامُهُم ، واللّهِ ما أنا لَهُم بِإمامٍ، لَعَنَهُمُ اللّهُ، كُلَّما سَتَرتُ سِترا هَتَكُوهُ ، أقولُ: كذا وكذا ، فيقولونَ: إنّما يَعني كذا وكذا ، إنّما أنا إمامُ مَن أطاعَني .
