عَنْ اَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ اَشْرَكَ مَعَ اِمَامٍ اِمَامَتُهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ مَنْ لَيْسَتْ اِمَامَتُهُ مِنَ اللهِ كَانَ مُشْرِكًا بِاللَّهِ.
Imam Abu Abdillah (al-Sadeq a.s.) said,
“Whoever associates with an Imam, whose Imamate is from the side of Allah, an Imam who is not from Allah, has ascribed associates with Allah (i.e. has become a polytheist).”
