1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi who said it was narrated to me by Abdul-Adheem b. Abdillah and was ill from Muhammad b. Umar from Hamad b. Uthman from Isa b. al-Sarri al-Yusra who said
“When the state reaches here you will need it (recognition of Imam) much. Your thinking is good regarding this.”

حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ الْعَظِیمِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ کَانَ مَرِیضاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عِیسَی بْنِ السَّرِیِّ الیسری قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ مَاتَ لَا یَعْرِفُ إِمَامَهُ مَاتَ مِیتَهً جَاهِلِیَّهً قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَحْوَجُ مَا یَکُونُ إِلَی مَعْرِفَتِهِ إِذَا بَلَغَ نَفْسُهُ هَکَذَا وَ أَشَارَ بِیَدِهِ إِلَی صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ کُنْتُ عَلَی أَمْرٍ حَسَنٍ.
