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

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عليه السلام أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي كُلِّ خَلَفٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَدْلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَنْفِي عَنْ هَذَا الدِّينِ تَحْرِيفَ الْغَالِينَ وَ انْتِحَالَ الْمُبْطِلِينَ وَ تَأْوِيلَ الْجَاهِلِينَ وَ إِنَّ أَئِمَّتَكُمْ قَادَتُكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَانْظُرُوا بِمَنْ تَقْتَدُونَ فِي دِينِكُمْ وَ صَلَاتِكُمْ.
Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari: Narrated to us Harun bin Muslim from Abil Hasan Laithi that he said: Narrated to me Ja’far bin Muhammad from his ancestors that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: “In every generation of my people there is a just one from my Ahlul Bayt who will negate the deviation of the extremists, the false claims of the people of falsehood and the wrong interpretations of the ignorant in this religion. Indeed your Imams are those who will take you to Allah; thus you must follow them in your religion and your ritual prayer.”
