Fifth Objection: it is Not Permissible for the Imams to Be Only Twelve, Since the Proof of God Must Remain Upon This Ummah Until the Day of Resurrection

Narrated to us Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ishaq from Abdul Aziz bin Yahya from Ibrahim bin Fahad quoting from Muhammad bin Uqbah from Husain bin Hasan from Ismail bin Umar from Umar bin Musa Wajihi  from Minhal bin Amr from Abdullah bin al-Harith that he said: I asked Ali عليه السلام “O Amiral Momineen, please inform me of the events that shall occur after your Qaim.” He replied: “O ibn Harith it is something that only he is entrusted to say. And the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم made me promise that except for Hasan and Husain, I shall not tell anyone anything about it.”
