۞
6-28 Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Imran ad-Daqqaq - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Abi Abdillah al-Kufi quoted on the authority of Musa ibn Imran an-Nakha’ee, on the authority of his uncle Al-Hussein ibn Yazid al-Nowfali, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Abi Hamza, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Yahya ibn Abil Qasim, on the authority of As-Sadiq Ja’far ibn Muhammad (s), on the authority of his father (s), on the authority of his grandfather (s), on the authority of Ali (s) that God’s Prophet (s) said, “
There are twelve Divine Leaders after me. The first one of them is Ali ibn Abi Talib (s) and the last one of them is the Riser. They are my Successors, my Trustees, my Masters, and God’s Proofs for my nation after me. Whoever bears witness to them is a believer, and whoever denies them is an atheist.”
28 - حَدَّثَنا عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرانَ الدَّقَّاقُ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبيالكُوفِيُّ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْران النَّخَعِيِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النُّوفَلِيِّ، عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبي القاسِمِ، عَنِ الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ قالَ
قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: الأَئِمَّةُ بَعْدي اثْنا عَشَر، أَوَّلُهُمْ عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِي طالِبٍ وَآخِرَهُمْ القائِمُ، هُمْ خُلَفائِي وَأَوْصِيائِي وَأَوْلِيائِي وَحُجَجُ اللَّهِ عَلَى اُمَّتِي بَعْدي، المُقَرِّبِهِمْ مُؤْمِنٌ، وَالْمُنْكَرُ لَهُم كافِرٌ.
