٣ - حَدَّثَنا جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُور رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عامِر، عَن المُعَلَّى بن مُحَمَّد البَصَرِيِّ عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِى الوَشَّاء، قالَ قُلْتُ: لابِي الحَسَن الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ هَلْ تبقى الأَرْض بغير إِمام فَقالَ لا فَقُلْتُ فَإِنَّا نروى أَنَّها لا تبقى إِلاّ أَنْ يسخط اللَّه عَلَى العِبادِ فَقالَ لا تبقى إِذاً لَساخَت.
28-3 Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Masroor - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Al-Hussein ibn Muhammad ibn Aamir quoted on the authority of al-Mo’alla ibn Muhammad al-Basri, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’, “I asked Abil Hassan Al-Ridha (s), ‘Will the Earth be left without a Divine Leader?’ The Imam (s) said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘It has been narrated for us that it will not be left without one. Otherwise God deals hard with the servants.’ The Imam (s) said, ‘It will not be left without a Divine Leader, otherwise it will take in all its residents.”
