We have not found it in the available books. What we have found is this text:” Whoever dies without an Imaxn dies the death ofjlhiliya.” Kanz Al- ‘UmIl: 1/103. So, the main, according to the Imâmi viewpoint, is the person who is responsible for the obligations of the Imainate whether he rises or not, pronounces it or keeps silence, and advances for the race or falls behind, because his Imaniate is not achieved through the borrowed clothing.

Namely he become an Imam when he takes this clothing from the others and is out of the Imaniate when the others take this clothing from him. The Imam is the serious evidence, so he should inform people about his Imainate and provide evidences for it when there is a necessary need. Also people should know him and obey him when they know him. As for providing evidences for the Imamate of the main, he should declare or hint it.

Enough for evidences that he should state his outstanding merits and miracles and show the knowledge which people are not able to show, except, when the swords prevent him from showing that; yet his acts and habits denote his position even if his tongue is silent. The Imamate has been one of the researches which raise argument and dispute among Muslims since the first day of the Owner of the mission (the Prophet).

The argument and the disputes have taken place through the pen, the tongue, the sword, and the spearhead. Today, the foundations of the Imamate is built on the ruins of the . Also today and tomorrow it is the difference among the sects as it was yesterday, though the Muslim have agreed on the Prophet, the Book, and the qibla (the Ka’bah).

As the Imamate is the crossways, so this disunity should gather at it. If people knew today the reality of the Imamate and who the main is, they, even if some of them, would move quickly to form a unity to include all the sects at this critical hour when anarchy and discord prevailes.
