ومتى قيل: نحن متمكنون من ذكر وجوه الآيات المتشابهات وأنتم لا تتمكنون من ذكر سبب صحيح للغيبة، قلنا: كلامنا على من يقول لا أحتاج إلى العلم بوجوه الآيات المتشابهات مفصلا بل يكفيني علم الجملة، ومتى تعاطيت ذلك كان تبرعا، وإن اقتنعتم لنفسكم بذلك فنحن أيضا نتمكن من ذكر وجه صحة الغيبة وغرض حكمي لا ينافي عصمته. وسنذكر ذلك فيما بعد، وقد تكلمنا عليه مستوفى في كتاب الإمامة.
And when it is said: "We are capable of mentioning the aspects of the ambiguous verses, but you are unable to mention a valid reason for the occultation," we say: Our discourse is directed at the one who says "I do not need to know the detailed aspects of the ambiguous verses, but that a general understanding suffices for me." If you undertake that, it is out of your own volition. And if you are satisfied with that for yourselves, then we too are capable of mentioning the validity of the occultation and a wise purpose that does not contradict his infallibility. We will mention that later, and we have discussed it comprehensively in the book of Imamate.
