13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from Mansur ibn Yunus from Burayd who has said that
he heard Imam abu Ja’far (a.s.) said the following about the words of Allah, “Can the dead to whom We have given life and light so that they may walk among the people, be considered equal to those who can never come out of darkness?” (6:122) The dead do not understand anything ‘The light by the help of which they walk’ is the Imam that they follow.’ “be considered equal to those who can never come out of darkness” applies to those who do not know who their Imam is.”
13ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَ وَمَنْ كانَ مَيْتاً فَأَحْيَيْناهُ وَجَعَلْنا لَهُ نُوراً يَمْشِي بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ مَيْتٌ لا يَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً وَنُوراً يَمْشِي بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ إِمَاماً يُؤْتَمُّ بِهِ كَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُماتِ لَيْسَ بِخارِجٍ مِنْها قَالَ الَّذِي لا يَعْرِفُ الامَامَ.
