لَا بُدَّ لِصَاحِبِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنْ غَيْبَةٍ وَ لَا بُدَّ لَهُ فِي غَيْبَتِهِ مِنْ عُزْلَةٍ وَ نِعْمَ الْمَنْزِلُ طَيْبَةُ وَ مَا بِثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ وَحْشَةٍ.

16. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “It is necessary for the person in charge of this task (Leadership with Divine Authority) to disappear from the public sight and in his disappearance form public sight he must remain away from public. How good is Tayba, the city of Madina, for dwelling and living with thirty people is not frightening isolation.”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
