as for the sixth premise which is their statement if it is proven that the infallible one exists in the world then there is no choice but to either declare the claim and claim infallibility or conceal it and concealing it is invalid because that is obligatory upon him and concealment is a sin that contradicts infallibility so it is necessary to declare it. this is a corrupt premise because it is not farfetched that he does not declare it because he is surrounded by enemies and senses in himself that he fears for his soul so he conceals it out of taqiyya and that is one of the things they agreed upon as permissible and this is what i went to. the imamis unanimously claimed that the imam is alive established and present and that infallibility is his but he is waiting for the end of the state of falsehood and the extinction of the power of the enemies.
وأما المقدمة السادسة وهي قولهم إذا ثبت ان المعصوم موجود في العالم فلا يخلو إما ان يصرح بالدعوى ويدعي العصمة او يخفيه وباطل اخفاؤه لأن ذلك واجب عليه والكتمان معصية تناقض العصمة فلا بد أن يصرح بها فهذه مقدمة فاسدة لانه لا يبعد الا يصرح به لكونه محفوفا بالأعداء مستششعرا في نفسه خائفا على روحه فيخفي ذلك تقية وذلك مما اتفقوا على جوازه واليه ذهبت الإمامية باجمعهم وزعموا ان الإمام حي قائم موجود والعصمة حاصلة له ولكنه يتربص تصرم دولة الباطل وانقراض شوكة الاعداء
