The Imams عليه السلام possess Divine authority, they are Envied and Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has spoken of them

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from Muhammad al-Ahwal from Humran ibn A‘yan who has said that when he asked Imam abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام about the meaning of the words of Allah that say, “We have given to the family of Abraham the Book, Wisdom, and a great Kingdom.” (4:54) The Imams عليه السلام said, “It means Prophet-hood.” I then asked about the meaning of ‘wisdom’. The Imams عليه السلام said, “It means understanding and judgment.” I then asked about the meaning of ‘great kingdom.’ The Imams عليه السلام said, “It means obedience.”
