3-69 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ali ibn Isma’il al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sin’an, on the authority of Abi Malik al-Jihni that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said,

“There are three people with whom God shall not Speak to, Look upon, or Purify on the Resurrection Day. There shall be a great punishment for them. They are those who follow leaders whose leadership is not Divinely Ordained by God; those who deny the leadership of Divine Leaders whose Leadership is Divinely Ordained by God the Honorable the Exalted; and those who consider the previous two groups of people to be Muslims.”
