٤٧٢- عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن ثعلبة بن ميمون قال:أعرف إمامك [فإنك] إذا عرفته لم يضرك تقدم هذا الامر أو تأخر، ومن عرف إمامه ثم مات قبل أن يرى هذا الامر ثم خرج القائم عليه السلام كان له من الاجر كمن كان مع القائم في فسطاطه.
H 472 - It is narrated from Fadhl from Ibn Faddal from Thalaba bin Maimoon that he said: “Obtain recognition of your Imam. If you are able to gain their recognition, it will not make any difference whether the period of their rule comes earlier or later. If one is able to gain the cognition of his Imam and he dies before his rule, and the reappearance of the Imam comes later, he would also be rewarded as one who is present in the Imam’s army.”
