Hadith n. 33
Having a Deep Knowledge of the Imam

 

قَالَ الإِمَامُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ : اِعْرِفْ إِمَامَكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا عَرَفْتَهُ لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ تَقَدُّمُ هٌذَا الأَمْرِ أَوْ تَأَخُّرُهُ.

 

Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon both of them) said: “Know your Imam because indeed if you have a deep cognizance of him and this command (his advent) is brought close or delayed, then it will have no effect upon you [and your faith].”
