Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The Imam is a guide between Allah and His creation, therefore whoever acknowledges him is a believer, and whoever rejects him is a disbeliever.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الإمامُ عَلَمٌ بَيْنَ اللّهِ عزّ وجلّ وبَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ، فَمَنْ عَرَفَهُ كانَ مُؤمنا، ومَنْ أنْكَرَهُ كانَ كافراً .
