We rely also on another famous tradition which is narrated in SAHIH MUSLIM and SUNAN TIRMIDHI, SUNAN ABI-DAWOOD and other famous books that our Holy Prophet has said: “Islam will stand up to the resurrection day and until twelve Imams all of whom are from Ghoreish; rule over you as my successors”.
IMAM ALI’S DESIGNATION BY ALMIGHTY ALLAH WE BELIEVE that the Prophet, on several occasions has introduced and designated Imam Ali (PBUH) as his successor by the decree of Almighty Allah, an instance of which was in the GHADIR KHUMM somewhere near Juhfah. When The Prophet was returning from his last pilgrimage (HAJJ), he made a speech to a great gathering of his companions and followers, saying: “Do I not have priority over your souls?” “Yes, of course”. They all answered.
