2.	We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Idris, from Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Yahya bin Ali bin al-Sindi, from Muhammed bin Amru, from some of our companions, from Nasr bin Qabus, that he said: I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «and an abandoned well and a lofty palace» (22:45). He said: The Abandoned Well is the Silent Imam, and the Lofty Palace is the Speaking Imam.
