The Prophet's (s) repeated designation of Imam Ali (a) (s) as his successor shows, according to some scholars, that the Prophet's (s) greatest concern was the leadership of the Muslim community after himself. These recurrent designations started since the early years of the Prophet's (s) mission when he gathered his close kin and invited them to Islam, and continued until the final days of his life when he asked the Companions to bring him a [[Hadith of pen and paper|pen and paper]] to write them something that would protect them against deviation. | The Prophet's (s) repeated designation of Imam Ali (a) (s) as his successor shows, according to some scholars, that the Prophet's (s) greatest concern was the leadership of the Muslim community after himself.<ref>Ṭabāṭabāyīnizhād, "Adilla wa nuṣūṣ-i imāmat-i ʿAlī," p. 193-194.</ref> These recurrent designations started since the early years of the Prophet's (s) mission when he gathered his close kin and invited them to Islam,<ref>Ṭabarī, ‘’Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk’’, vol. 2, p. 279.</ref> and continued until the final days of his life when he asked the Companions to bring him a [[Hadith of pen and paper|pen and paper]] to write them something that would protect them against deviation.<ref>Bukhārī, ‘’Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī’’, vol. 1, p. 37; vol. 4, p. 66; vol. 5, p. 137-138; vol. 7, p. 9.</ref> | ||
Some of the evidence for the Imamate of Ali (a) explicitly indicate his designation for [[imamate]] and [[wilaya]] after the Prophet (s) and some indicate his virtues and excellence. The former includes the [[Wilaya Verse]] (Qur'an 5:55), which was revealed when Ali (a) gave his ring, while bowing down in his prayer, to a poor man; [[Qur'an 5:3]] "Today the faithless have despaired of your religion. So do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My blessing upon you, and I have approved Islam as your religion" and [[Qur'an 5:67]] "O Apostle! Communicate that which has been sent down to you from your Lord, and if you do not, you will not have communicated His message, and Allah shall protect you from the people. Indeed Allah does not guide the faithless lot," which were revealed during the [[Event of Ghadir]], in which the Prophet (s) was tasked by God with designating Ali (a) as his successor; and [[Hadith al-Ghadir]], which is the most important proof for the imamate of Ali (a) and which occurred in the final year of the Prophet's (s) life. | Some of the evidence for the Imamate of Ali (a) explicitly indicate his designation for [[imamate]] and [[wilaya]] after the Prophet (s) and some indicate his virtues and excellence.
