Chapter Twenty: On What Al-reza (s) Has Said Regarding Divine Leadership, Its Nobilities and the Rank of the Divine Leader 20-1 Abul Abbas Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Taleqani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Abu Ahmad Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Haruni quoted on the authority of Sa’eed Al-Hussein ibn Ali al-Adawi quoted on the authority of Abu Hamid Imran ibn Musa ibn Ibrahim, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Al-Qasim Ar-Raqqam, on the authority of Al-Qasim ibn Muslim, on the authority of his brother Abdul Aziz ibn Muslim, “At the times [342] of Ali ibn Musa Al-Reza (s) we were in Marv.

We had gathered together in the Jami’a mosque where the people were talking about the concept of Divine Leadership and the many differences which the people have with each other in that respect. I went to see my Master and my Friend Al-Reza (s) and told him what the people said in that regard. He (s) smiled and said, ‘O Abdul Aziz! The people are ignorant and have been tricked regarding their religion.

The Blessed the Sublime God did not take away the life of His Prophet (s) until after He perfected the religion for him and sent him the Quran in which everything including the allowed, the forbidden, the bounds, the decrees and everything which is needed is clarified.
