The Continuity of the Divine Testament Since the Time of Adam عليه السلام
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ بَشَّارٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ لِلرِّضَا عليه السلام وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ أَ تَخْلُو الْأَرْضُ مِنْ إِمَامٍ فَقَالَ لَا.
Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid رضي الله عنه that he said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa from Abbas bin Maroof from Ibrahim bin Mahziyar from his brother Ali bin Mahziyar from Hasan bin Bashshar Wasiti that he said: Husain bin Khalid asked al-Ridha عليه السلام in our presence: “Can the earth remain without an Imam?” He replied: “No.”
