The prophet’s صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Designation of the qa’im عليه السلام

Narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Ziyad Hamdani رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Maqil Qirmiseeni: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Abdullah Basri: Narrated to us Ibrahim bin Mihzam from his father from Abi Abdullah from his father from his ancestors from Ali عليه السلام that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: “The Imams will be twelve from my Ahlul Bayt عليه السلام. Allah, the High, will grant them my understanding, my knowledge and my wisdom and He will create them from my clay. Then woe unto the arrogant ones against them after me, who will break my relations concerning them. What is wrong with them (opponents)? May Allah not make them reach my intercession!”
