(17) Abdul Wahid bin Abdullah narrated from Muhammad bin Ja’far al-Qarashi from Abu Ja’far al-Hamadani from Musa bin Sa’dan from Muhammad bin Sinan from Ammar bin Marwan that Suma’a bin Mihran had said
I said to Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as): Someone believes in the guardianship of Ali (as) and exempts himself from Ali’s enemy. He believes in everything that Ali (as) has said but he says: They have disagreed among themselves whereas they are the leading imams. I do not know which of them is the imam. If they agree upon a certain one, I will submit to him. I have believed that the imamate is among them. Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) said: “If this someone still thinks so, he will die as an unbeliever. The Qur’an has interpretations that occur as the day and the night and they run as the sun and the moon. If an interpretation of something comes, it will occur. Some interpretations have come and some have not come yet.”
17 - أخبرنا عبد الواحد بن عبد الله قال: حدثنا محمد بن جعفر القرشي، قال: حدثنا أبو جعفر الهمداني، قال: حدثني موسى بن سعدان، عن محمد بن سنان عن عمار بن مروان عن سماعة بن مهران قال
قلت لأبي عبد الله: رجلٌ يتولّى علياً ويتبرأ من عدوه ويقول كل شيء يقول، إلاّ أنه يقول: إنهم قد اختلفوا بينهم وهم الأئمة القادة، فلست أدري أيّهم الإمام، فإذا اجتمعوا على رجل أخذت بقوله، وقد عرفت أن الأمر فيهم. قال: إنْ مات هذا على ذلك مات ميتة جاهلية. ثم قال: للقرآنِ تأويلٌ يجري كما يجري الليل والنهار وكما تجري الشمس والقمر، فإذا جاء تأويل شيء منه وقع، فمنه ما قد جاء، ومنه ما لم يجيء.
