This matter is clearly understood from traditions that Thiqatul Islam Kulaini has mentioned in Kafi, through authentic chains of narrators from Hasan bin ‘Ali al-Washsha that it was asked from His Eminence, Abu Hasan Imam Reza (as): ‘Can the earth remain without an Imam?’ He said: ‘No.’ I said: It has been narrated to us from Abu Abdillah (as) that the earth cannot remain without an Imam except when Allah, the All-high, becomes angered towards the earth or (His) slaves.’ He said: ‘No, it (the earth) cannot remain (thus), otherwise, it would become a mire.’[^1] In another traditional report it has come from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as): “If the earth remains without an Imam, it will become a mire.”[^2] Shaykh Sadooq has narrated in his book, Ikmaluddin through strong chain of narrators like correct or correct upon correct chain from Abu Hamza Thumali from His Eminence, Ja’far bin Muhammad Sadiq from his father from his forefathers (as) that: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said, “Jibraeel (as) has reported to me from the Lord of the Might, may His Majesty be Mighty, that He said, ‘Whoever knows (believes) that there is no god but Me alone, Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) is My servant and My messenger, ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as) is My caliph and that surely the Imams from his progeny are My proofs, I will make him enter Paradise on account of My mercy, save him from My hell due to My forgiveness and allow him to reside in My neighborhood.

I will make My honor obligatory on him, complete My bounties on him and make him from My special and pure (servants). If he calls Me, I will answer him, if he invokes Me, I will accept his invocation and if he asks Me, I will grant him. If he is silent, I will initiate the talk with him and if he errs, I will have mercy on him. If he flees from Me, I will call him and if he returns unto Me, I will accept him. If he knocks on My door, I will open it.
