169 - انتِفاعُ النّاسِ بِالإمامِ في غَيبتِهِ‏

169. People Benefiting from the Imam during his Occultation

507.الإمامُ المهديُّ عليه السلام : أمّا وَجهُ الانْتِفاعِ بي في غَيبَتي فكالانْتِفاعِ بالشَّمسِ إذا غَيَّبها عَنِ الأبصارِ السَّحابُ ، وإنّي لَأمانٌ لأهلِ الأرضِ .¹

507.Imam al-Mahdi (AS) said, 'The way that people benefit from me during my occultation is as they benefit from the sun when the clouds cover it from the sights. I am indeed a [source of] security for the dwellers of the earth.' ²
