Chapter 10 | Disappearance of the expected Imam

5 - وبه، عن محمد بن عيسى والحسن بن ظريف، عن الحارث بن المغيرة النصري، عن أبي عبد الله قال: قلت له: إنا نروي بأنّ صاحب هذا الأمر يُفقد زماناً، فكيف نصنع عند ذلك؟ قال: تمسكوا بالأمرِ الأول الذي أنتم عليه حتى يبين لكم.

(5) Muhammad bin Eessa and al-Hasan bin Ddhareef narrated that al-Harith bin al-Mugheera an-Nasri had said: I said to Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq : “We have tradition saying that the imam will be missed in some period of time. What will we do then?” He said: “Keep to the previous one that you have kept to until the matter becomes clear.”
