Narrated to me my father and Muhammad bin Hasan (r.a.); they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab and Yaqoob bin Yazid, all of them from Hammad bin Isa from Hariz bin Abdullah from Muhammad bin Muslim that he said:
I asked Abi Abdullah 
regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: You are only a warner and (there is) a guide for every people.21
He replied: “Every Imam is a guide of his community in his time.”
