قَالَ الإِمَامُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ : إِنَّ لِصَاحِبِ هٌذَا الأَمْرِ غَيْـبَةٌ فَلْيَتَّقِ اللٌّهَ عَبْدٌ عِنْدَ غَيْـبَتِهِ وَلْيَتَمَسَّكْ بِدِيــنِهِ.
Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon both of them) said: “Surely the possessor of this command (Imam al-Mahdi) will go into an occultation. So the servant should have consciousness (Taqwa) of Allah during the period of the occultation and should hold firm to his religion.”
