(6) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob narrated from Ali bin Ibraheem from Muhammad bin Eessa from Younus from ibn Miskan from Abu Baseer that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said
“Allah does not leave the world without a jurisprudent (imam); otherwise the truth is not distinguished from the untruth.”

أنه قال: إنّ الله لم يدعِ الأرض بغير عالِم، ولولا ذلك لم يُعرف الحقّ من الباطل.
