Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 Sixth: The Right Of The Master Over His Servants And Protégés It is mentioned in Ziarat Jamia regarding the Holy Imams (as): “And the chiefs of the guardianship…” In a tradition from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) narrated through Sunni channels it is reported that he said: “We the sons of Abdul Muttalib are the leaders of the folks of Paradise, I and ‘Ali and Ja’far and Hasan and Husain and Mahdi (aj).” I say: The matter of the leadership and mastership of the Holy Imams (as) with regard to us is proved for us and the meaning of the leadership of those great personalities denotes: They are having more authority on us in all matters than us, just the Almighty Allah says: النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ “The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have on themselves.” (Qur’an, Surah Ahzab 33:6) And in Kifayatul Athar it is narrated from Imam Husain bin ‘Ali (as) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said to ‘Ali (as): “I have a greater claim on the faithful than they have on themselves, after that you ‘Ali are having greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves.

Then after you it is Hasan, who has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him Husain has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him ‘Ali has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him Muhammad has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him Ja’far has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves.

Then after him Moosa has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him ‘Ali has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him Muhammad has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him ‘Ali has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. Then after him Hasan has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves.

And Hujjat Ibnul Hasan has a greater claim on the believers than they have on themselves. They are the righteous Imams and they are with the truth and the truth is with them.”[^1] A somewhat similar thing is said in Kafi and Kamaluddin.
