Hadith of Jabir b. 'Abd Allah: Difference between revisions

After the revelation of [[Uli l-Amr Verse]], Jabir b. 'Abd Allah al-Ansari asked the Prophet (s): "O the messenger of God! We know God and His messenger; but we need to know the Uli l-Amr." The Prophet (s) replied: "they are my successors and the imams of Muslims after me. The first is [['Ali b. Abi Talib]], and then [[Imam al-Hasan (a)|Hasan]], [[Imam al-Husayn (a)|Husayn]], [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)|'Ali b. al-Husayn]], and [[Imam al-Baqir (a)|Muhammad b. 'Ali]] known in the [[Torah]] as "Baqir", whom you will see at an old age, and whenever you see him, send my regards to him. After Muhammad b. 'Ali, [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)|Ja'far b. Muhammad]], [[Imam al-Kazim (a)|Musa b. Ja'far]], [[Imam al-Rida (a)|'Ali b. Musa]], [[Imam al-Jawad (a)|Muhammad b. 'Ali]], [[Imam al-Hadi (a)|'Ali b. Muhammad]], [[Imam al-'Askari (a)|Hasan b. 'Ali]], and then [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)|his son]] who is my namesake and has the same [[kunya]] as mine. He is the one who will hide from people's view, and his [[occlusion]] will be so long that only people with firm beliefs will continue to believe in him".
