Chapter: Allah does not leave the world with no authority (Hujjah) د بن يعقوب، عن الحسين بن ٠د، عن الوشاء قال: سألت الرضا: هل تبقى الأرض بغير إ٠؟ قال: لا. قلت: إنا نروي أنها لا تبقى إلاّ أن يسخط الله على العباد. قال: لا تبقى، إذاً لَساختْ.

(11) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob narrated from al-Husayn bin Muhammad from Mu’alla bin Muhammad that al-Washsha’ had said: I asked Imam ar-Redha (as): “Is the world left without an imam?” He said: “No, it is not.” I said: “We narrate traditions saying that it does not remain without an imam except if Allah becomes angry with the people.” He said: “It does not remain without an imam, otherwise it sinks.”
