وَ الْأَمْرُ هَكَذَا يَكُونُ وَ الْأَرْضُ لَا تَصْلُحُ إِلَّا بِإِمَامٍ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَا يَعْرِفُ‏ إِمَامَهُ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَ أَحْوَجُ مَا تَكُونُ إِلَى هَذَا إِذَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُكَ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ وَ انْقَطَعْتَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا تَقُولُ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ عَلَى رَأْيٍ حَسَنٍ And the matter happens to be like that, and the earth cannot be correct except by an Imam -asws , and one who dies and he does not recognise his Imam -asws , dies a death of the pre-Islamic period, and the neediest what to you will happen to be to this (Imamate) is when your soul reaches this place’ – and he -asws gestured with his -asws hand to his -asws throat, and it cut off from the world.

Abu Al-Yas’a Isa Bin Al-Sary said, And Abu Hamza was present in the gathering, he said regarding what they were saying, ‘Abu Ja’far -asws is an Imam -asws , the rightful Imam -asws ’’.
