What will happen with omaris who do not know The Imams?

Chapter on obligation to obey The Imams(as)


Hadith#11

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Salih ibn al-Sindi from Ja’far ibn Bashir from abu Salma who has said that I heard Imam abu ‘Abdallah say the following.

 “We are the ones obedience to whom is obligatory by the commands of Allah. People have no other choice except to know us and they will not be excused for not knowing us. Those who know us are the true believers and those who would refuse to acknowledge our Divine authority are unbelievers. Those who would not know us and would not acknowledge us are straying and lost until they return to guidance and affirm the fact that Allah has made obedience to us obligatory. But if they would die in their straying condition Allah will deal with the way He would will.”


Muhammad Salih Al-Mazandarani writes: “People can be divided into three kinds. The first type recognizes the guardianship (Wilayah) of the Imams while believing in God and His Messenger (saw).The second type rejects their guardianship (Wilayah) while they have disbelief in God and His Messenger (saw) because they reject the most powerful thing that the Messenger (saw)brought to them and a principle of his principles. The third kind does not recognize their guardianship (Wilayah) and does not deny it while they are in error. The position of each one of the first two species is obvious, but as for the last species, it is subject to the will of God, if this one does not turn back to the leadership , by which is meant obedience to the Imam.”
