\n The Twelve Imami Shias of Today...

\n The Twelve Imami Shias of Today: \n There are two major sects of 12 Imami Shites, (1) Those who are in taqleed of a Mujtahid (follow Fatwa of Mujtahid); (2) Those who follow the Ahadith of Masomeen -asws .\u00a0 Both 12 Imami sects are recognised with many names, i.e., (1) Unorthodox, rationalist, Usooli, (2) Orthodox, traditionalist, Akhbari.\u00a0 Before the emegence of the (1), all Shias used to belong to Orthodox (2) group from the time of the Prophet -asws of Islam until the time of the minor Occultation of Imam-e-Zaman -ajfj but after the Grand Occultation, based on the new Shia definition of \u2018Ijtihad\u2019 a Shia version of Ijtihad was devised by some Shia scholars which gradually grew and developed to the Unorthodox sect (1) of present time.

\u00a0An additional Hadith, which was used at that time or is still used to justify the \u2018taqleed\u2019 besides the one from Amr Bin Al Aas\u2019s , is the \u2018Khabar-e-Wahid\u2019 (single source) as given below: \n \u0642\u0627\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0639 \u0641\u0623\u0645\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0642\u0647\u0627\u0621 \u0635\u0627\u0626\u0646\u0627 \u0644\u0646\u0641\u0633\u0647\u060c \u062d\u0627\u0641\u0638\u0627 \u0644\u062f\u064a\u0646\u0647\u060c \u0645\u062e\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0627 \u0644\u0647\u0648\u0627\u0647\u060c \u0645\u0637\u064a\u0639\u0627 \u0644\u0623\u0645\u0631 \u0645\u0648\u0644\u0627\u0647 \u0641\u0644\u0644\u0639\u0648\u0627\u0645 \u0623\u0646 \u064a\u0642\u0644\u062f\u0648\u0647.
