أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ﴾، فَقَالَ: هُمْ أَئِمَّةُ الْهُدَى وَالْعَدْلِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَا يَزَالُ فِي الْخَلْقِ رَجُلٌ يَهْدِي بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُ، إِنْ يُطِيعُوهُ يُفْلِحُوا، وَإِنْ يَعْصُوهُ يَهْلِكُوا، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا لَبَيِّنٌ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.

Translation:

Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Balkhi informed us, he said: I asked Mansoor about the statement of Allah Almighty, where He says: “And among those We have created, there are some who guide with the truth and establish justice with it.” So, he said: “They are the Imams of guidance and justice.” Then he said: “There is always a man among people who guides with the truth and establishes justice with it. If they obey him, they will succeed, and if they disobey him, they will be doomed. By Allah, this is quite clear, but most of them do not know.”
