The questioner : Regarding the Imam, I read in a book that, according to the Shi'ah, there is a rank higher than the rank of the prophets. Is this statement correct?
The Shaykh : Who is this person who is at the rank of the prophets?
The questioner : I told you that the Imam, according to the Shi'ah, is considered to be higher than the rank of the prophets.
The Shaykh : If that is the case, this is part of their misguidance; indeed, the misguidance known for them is sufficient for them. Now, we want to know from which direction our path is on the left.
