The Book of Occultation — al-Ṭūsī · Hadith 178 (#Ḥadīth #21)

Chapter 17 | Philosophy and wisdom of Occultation

فإن قيل: إذا كان الخوف أحوجه إلى الاستتار فقد كان آباؤه عليه السلام عندكم على تقية وخوف من أعدائهم فكيف لم يستتروا؟

If it is said: If it is fear that has forced him to go into hiding, verily his forefathers, according to you, were living under dissimulation (Taqayyah) and fear from their enemies. Why did they not go into hiding also?
