The Statements and the Explicit Texts on Leadership with Divine Authority) of the Twelve Imams عليه السلام

18ـ وَبِهَذَا الاسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مِنْ وُلْدِيَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ نَقِيباً نُجَبَاءُ مُحَدَّثُونَ مُفَهَّمُونَ آخِرُهُمُ الْقَائِمُ بِالْحَقِّ يَمْلاهَا عَدْلاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْراً.
18. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from abu Sa‘id in a marfu‘ manner from abu Ja‘far عليه السلام who has said the following. “The Messenger of Allah has said, “From my descendants there will be twelve noble supervisors, who are (Muhaddathun) persons to whom angles speak and very intelligent. The last of them will be Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) and with truth who will fill the earth with justice after being filled with injustice.”
