[[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".<ref>Kulayni, ''al-Kafi'' ,1407AH, vol.1, p.376.</ref>
