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)| | After the revelation of [[Uli l-Amr Verse]], Jabir b.

The hadith was transmitted from the Prophet (s) by Jabir b. 'Abd Allah al-Ansari. Thus, it came to be known as Hadith of Jabir. The Hadith of Jabir explicitly mentions the Twelve Imams of the Shi'a and their imamate. When the Prophet (s) mentions the Fifth Shiite Imam (a), he points to his title ("Baqir"), asking Jabir to send his regards to [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]]. The hadith also points to the long [[Occultation]] of the [[Twelfth Imam]] of the Shi'a, analogizing the hidden Imam to the sun behind the clouds. | The hadith was transmitted from the Prophet (s) by Jabir b.
