The Continuity of the Divine Testament Since the Time of Adam عليه السلام

حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى‌ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ لَا تَبْقَى الْأَرْضُ يَوْماً وَاحِداً بِغَيْرِ إِمَامٍ مِنَّا تَفْزَعُ إِلَيْهِ الْأُمَّةُ.
Narrated to us my father رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa from ibn Mahboob from Alaa from ibn Abi Yafoor that he said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “The world cannot exist even for a day without an Imam from us Ahlul Bayt, due to whom the Ummah is safe.”
