[[Ibn Abi Ya'fur]] asked [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] about the Prophet's hadith according to which, "if a man dies while he does not know the Imam of his time, he will die a death of ignorance": is it the death as an unbeliever? He replied: "it is the death as a misguided person". He then asked: "if a man dies at this time without a leader, will he die a death of ignorance?" He replied: "Yes". | [[Ibn Abi Ya'fur]] asked [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] about the Prophet's hadith according to which, "if a man dies while he does not know the Imam of his time, he will die a death of ignorance": is it the death as an unbeliever?

Hadith Man Mat is cited with slight differences in [[Sunni]] sources as well. The Prophet (s) said: ''"if a man dies without an Imam, he will die a death of ignorance"''; or ''"if a man withdraws from obedience, he will meet God on Dooms Day without a plea, and if a man dies without having pledged an allegiance, he will die a death of ignorance"''. Sunni scholars take this hadith to be reliable and good. | Hadith Man Mat is cited with slight differences in [[Sunni]] sources as well.
