Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam Al Mahdi, The Twelfth Khalifah In The Sahih Sunni Ahadith Issues Of The Ghaybah: Regency Of The Shi’i ‘Ahadith And ‘Ulama =================================================================== There is always a divinely “sent” guide on the earth for the Ummah . ‘Allamah al-Majlisi (d.

1111 H) documents: علل الشرائع: أبي، عن علي، عن أبيه، عن يحيى بن أبي عمران الهمداني عن يونس، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: إن الله لم يدع الأرض إلا وفيها عالم يعلم الزيادة والنقصان من دين الله عز وجل فإذا زاد المؤمنون شيئا ردهم، وإذا نقصوا أكمله لهم، ولولا ذلك لالتبس على المسلمين أمرهم ‘Ilal al-Sharai’ : my father – ‘Ali – his father – Yahya b. Abi ‘Imran al-Hamdani – Yunus – Ishaq b. ‘Ammar – Muhammad b.

Muslim: Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, said: “ Verily, Allah does not leave the earth to be without a scholar who knows the additions and omissions in the religion of Allah, the Almighty . So, when the believers add something, he returns them (to the original teaching); and when they omit, he completes it for them.

If not for that, the Muslims would have become confused in their (religious) affairs.[^1] This hadith has a mu’tabar (reliable) chain , according to Ayatullah al-Muhsini.[^2] There is no doubt that these guides “sent” by Allah are from the offspring of Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alaihi wa alihi . This is on account of Hadith al-Thaqalayn , which names the , ‘alaihim al-salam , as the supreme guides of this Ummah .

The Sunni hadith scholar, Sayyid Hasan al-Saqqaf, declares: ورواه الترمذي 663/5) برقم (3788 بسند صحيح بلفظ إني تارك فيكم ما إن تمسكتم به لن تضلوا بعدي أحدهما أعظم من الآخر كتاب الله حبل ممدود من السماء إلى الأرض وعترتي أهل بيتي ولن يتفرقا حتى يردا علي الحوض فانظروا كيف تخلفوني فيهما Al-Tirmidhi (5/663, # 3788) recorded it WITH A SAHIH CHAIN , with this wording: “I am leaving behind over you that which if you adhere to it YOU WILL NEVER GO ASTRAY after me .

One of them is greater than the other: the Book of Allah - a rope stretching from the heaven to the earth - and MY OFFSPRING, my . Both shall never separate from each other until they meet me at the Lake-Fount. Therefore, watch carefully how you treat them after me.”[^3] The default tradition of the Imams is that they are physically available to the Ummah , in order to renew their religion for them.

However, Shi’ism also recognizes the existence of extraordinary situations where the khalifah becomes inaccessible to his subjects.
