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 words of God Almighty that 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 gain salvation, and if they disobey him, they will be ruined! I swear to God, this is quite clear, but most of them do not know!
