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 قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَجَلُّ وَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ الْأَرْضَ بِغَيْرِ إِمَامٍ عَدْلٍ.
Narrated to us my father رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Isa from ibn Mahboob from Ali bin Abi Hamza from Abi Baseer from Abi Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: “Indeed, Allah is greater and more sublime than that He should leave the earth without a just Imam.”
