Evidence of the Imamate of Imam Musa Kadhim عليه السلام and refutation of Waqifiya

<p class='libAr' dir='rtl'>فالوجه فيه أيضا ما قلناه في غيره سواء. ومن طرائف الأمور أن يتوصل إلى الطعن على قوم أجلاء في الدين والعلم والورع بالحكايات عن أقوام لا يعرفون ثم لا يقنع بذلك حتى يجعل ذلك دليلا على فساد المذهب إن هذه لعصبية ظاهرة وتحامل عظيم ولو لا أن رجلا منسوبا إلى العلم له صيت وهو من وجوه المخالفين لنا أورد هذه الأخبار وتعلق بها لم يحسن إيرادها لأنها كلها ضعيفة رواها من لا يوثق بقوله. فأول دليل على بطلانها أنه لم يثق قائل بها على ما سنبينه ولو لا صعوبة الكلام على المتعلق بها في الغيبة بعد تسليم الأصول وضيق الأمر عليه فيه وعجزه عن الاعتراض عليه لما التجأ إلى هذه الخرافات فإن المتعلق بها يعتقد بطلانها كلها.Explanation: The same point that we mentioned in the above two reports is applicable here. The most peculiar thing is that Waqifiya, through narrating incidents concocted by unknown persons, have made many elders of faith, scholars and pious personages, targets of ridicule and allegations. The latest of these allegations is cowardice; they were not satisfied and they take this as proof of corruption of the faith of the elders. This was due to ignorant bigotry and desertion of truth. Also, even if no opponent, who is attributed knowledge and possesses fame, had narrated this report and derived conclusions from it; due to weakness present in all of them even their mention was improper, because they are narrated by those who are unreliable. The first proof of the invalidity of the reports of Waqifiya is that no one has relied on them [whether supporter or opponent] as would be mentioned soon and if hardship of discussion, on one who has argued about occultation through these [fabricated] reports, had not been there and circumstances had not straitened him and he had not been compelled to object [by definite proofs], he definitely would not have relied on this nonsense, in the invalidity of which he himself believes.
