الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):
كُلُّ مَن دانَ اللّهَ عزّ و جلّ بِعبادَةٍ يُجْهِدُ فيها نَفْسَهُ و لا إمامَ لَهُ مِنَ اللّهِ ، فَسَعْيُهُ غَيْرُ مَقْبُولٍ وَ هُوَ ضالٌّ مُتَحَيِّرٌ و اللّهُ شانِئٌ لأعمالِهِ ، و مَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ شاةٍ ضَلَّتْ عَن راعِيها و قَطِيعها .
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):
One who subjects himself to the worship of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, exerting himself in it, while not following an Imam appointed by Allah, his efforts are not accepted and he is a deviated confused person and Allah despises his deeds, and his example is that of a sheep that has lost its shepherd and herd.
