\u00a0And by frequently adhering to conflicting \u2018Khabar-e-Wahid\u2019 Ahadith (lone Ahadith from a single source which contradicts established and undisputed Ahadith) \u2013 the latter type of Ahadith (\u2018Khabar-e-Wahid\u2019), however, can be taken if in agreement with Holy Quran and well-established Ahadith (as per Ahadith authenticity criteria, cited later).

\n Also, frequent indirect conclusions have been derived in those three articles, based on the use of analogy, assumptions (in particular to the uncertainty related to the identification of the narrators). We have replied (by quoting Ahadith) to each of their points (headings) underneath each presented argument.

Our refutations along with the summary of their arguments are given in Appendix II.\u00a0 In the main article, we present the proofs of the twelve Divine Leaders (Imams -asws ) with particular emphasis on those Ahadith which prove the Immamat (Divine Leadership) of the 8 th to the 12 Imams -asws .
