ويژگي‌هاي اساسي امامان(ع) در انديشه ابن‌قِبه(ره)

Main charateristics of Imāms in Ibn Qibah’s Thought

برخي مدعي هستند شيعيان سده‌هاي نخستين، رويكردي بشري به امامت داشته‌اند. يكي از عالماني كه با استناد به برخي عبارات متشابه، به عنوان نماينده قرايت بشري از امامت معرفي شده، ابن‌قبه رازي است؛ اما با بررسي آراي وي درباره ويژگي‌هاي امامان(ع) معلوم مي‌شود ابن‌قبه امامان را داراي ويژگي‌هاي زير مي‌دانسته است: 1. وجوب طاعت، 2. حجيت، 3. منصوص و منصوب بودن از جانب خداوند، 4. علم الهي، 5. قدرت الهي (معجزه)، 6.عصمت. بنابراين هرگز نمي‌توان او را گواهي بر وجود عالماني با قرايت بشري از امامت، معرفي كرد.

Some claim that early Shi?ites have had a humanistic approach to Im?mah . Relying on some ambiguous texts, Ibn Qibah Razi is taken to be one of those who assumes im?mah as a human institution. Studying his description of Im?msʹ characteristics reveals that Im?ms, in his view, have the following qualities: 1) They have to be obeyed. 2) They are religious authorities. 3) They are appointed by God. 4) They are in possession of divine knowledge. 5) They have divine power (and thus can work out miracles). 6) They are infallible. It can therefore be concluded that Ibn Qibah Razi is never an example of those scholars who has considered imamah as a human institution.
