2. Al-Husayn has narrated from Mu‘alla from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Ahmad ibn ‘A’idh from his father from Ibn ‘Udhayna who has said that more than one person has narrated to us from one the two Imams (a.s.) who has said the following.
“One will not be considered a Mu‘min until he knows Allah, His Messenger and all of the Imams and the Imam of ones time, acknowledges his Divine authority and submits his affairs to the Imam (a.s.).” He then said, “How would one know the last one when one is ignorant of the first one.”
2ـ الْحُسَيْنُ عَنْ مُعَلىً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهما السَّلام)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مُؤْمِناً حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ الله وَرَسُولَهُ وَالائِمَّةَ كُلَّهُمْ وَإِمَامَ زَمَانِهِ وَيَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِ وَيُسَلِّمَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَيْفَ يَعْرِفُ الاخِرَ وَهُوَ يَجْهَلُ الاوَّلَ.
