وأما من قال بإمامة الحسن عليه السلام وقالوا: انقطعت الإمامة كما انقطعت النبوة، فقولهم باطل بما دللنا عليه من أن الزمان لا يخلو عن إمام عقلا وشرعا، وبما بيناه من أن الأئمة اثنا عشر. وسنبين صحة ولادة القائم عليه السلام بعده، فسقط قولهم من كل وجه، على أن هؤلاء قد انقرضوا بحمد الله.
As for those who have proclaimed the Imamate of Hasan and said that Imamate has ended like Prophethood, their assertion is worthless, because we have proved through reason and traditions that at no time can the earth remain devoid of an Imam and that the Imams are twelve and that the Qaim was born after Hasan. Besides, they have also become extinct, and praise be to Allah.
