چکیده:
Accountability and readiness for it in the Hawzas possess high importance; therefore, in the noble book Al-Ihtijaj, a mursal narration attributed to our master Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Zaki al-Askari (peace be upon him) is narrated. The Imam (peace be upon him) says: 'More severe than the orphanhood of an orphan who is cut off from his mother and father, is the orphanhood of an orphan who is cut off from his Imam.' The word 'yutm' refers to someone who becomes disconnected from their Imam. A person may lose their father, mother, or both. The life of such an orphan faces many problems in terms of psychology, emotions, feelings of alienation, and the lack of a support system, which is very difficult. However, the Imam states that higher and more severe than this orphanhood is when a human being is cut off from their Imam—whether the Imam is behind the veil of occultation, in prison, or due to the events of time, one cannot reach that great personality. Today, while our Imam, our leader, and the one dearer to us than our own lives, Baqiyatullah al-A'zam (may our souls be sacrificed for him), is in occultation and we are deprived of reaching that great personality, the Maraji', scholars, Hawzas, and you who have prepared yourselves to listen to doubts, must be a place where doubts are presented and, in return, answers are provided that possess correct and proper evidence.

A person from Sham came to the service of Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) and said that he had heard that the Imam is responsive to every question, from every science and every subject, and that he had come to debate with him.
All four of these dear individuals debated with him, and they were so strong and skilled that they caused this person to wonder, so at the end, he said to Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): You wanted to show me what excellent products and scholars you have trained, that you did not take charge of the answer yourself but referred him to them.
Regarding another person who debated with that individual in the assembly, the Imam said: You, in your own imagination, want to bring a matter closer to the minds of the Great Prophet (peace be upon him), yet you express it in a way that makes it distant from minds, and in your debates and answers to questions, you mix truth with falsehood.
