(3) Muhammad bin Ya'qoob narrated from al-Husayn bin Muhammad from Mu’alla bin Muhammad from Abu Dawood al-Mustaraqq from Ali bin Maymoon as-Sa’igh from Abu Ya’foor that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said: “There are three persons, whom Allah will not speak to on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify and shall have a painful chastisement; one, who pretends the divine imamate while he is not an imam, one, who denies an imam appointed by Allah and the third one is he, who claims that these two ones are faithful Muslims.”[^4] 4 - وأخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد قال: حدثنا أبو محمد القاسم بن محمد بن الحسن بن حازم، قال: حدثنا عبيس بن هشام، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جبلة، عن الحكم بن أيمن، عن محمد بن تمام قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله: إن فلاناً يقرئك السلام ويقول لك: اضمن لي الشفاعةَ.

فقال: أمِن موالينا؟ قلت: نعم. قال: أمرُه أرفعُ من ذلك. قال: قلت: إنه رجلٌ يوالي علياً ولم يعرف مَن بعده من الأوصياء. قال: ضالٌّ. قلت: أقرَّ بالأئمّة جميعاً وجحد الآخرَ. قال: هو كَمَنْ أقرّ بعيسى وجحد بمحمّد أو أقرّ بمحمد وجحد بعيسى، نعوذ بالله مِن جَحدِ حجّة من حججه.

(4) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa'eed narrated from Abu Muhammad al-Qassim bin Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Hazim from Obayss bin Hisham from Abdullah bin Jibilla form al-Hakam bin Aymen that Muhammad bin Tamam had said: “I said to Imam Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as): “Someone has sent you his regards and requested you to intercede for him (on the Day of Resurrection).” Imam as-Sadiq (as) said: “Is he from our followers?” I said: “Yes, he is.” He said: “His matter is more important than that.” I said: “He has believed in Ali but he does not know any of the guardians after him.” He said: “He is astray.” I said: “He has believed in the imams but he has denied the last one of them.” He said: “He is like that who believes in Jesus Christ and denies Muhammad or believes in Muhammad and denies Jesus Christ.

We pray Allah to protect us from denying any of His authorities.”[^5] Let one, who reads this tradition, be careful not to deny any one of the imams lest he will perish as if he has denied Muhammad or Jesus Christ (peace be upon them).
