H 728, Ch. 58, h 3 Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Ali ibn Isma'il from Safwan ibn Yahya from ibn Muskan from al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah who has narrated the following from abu 'Abdallah (a.s.). "We in the matters of commands, understanding, lawful and unlawful all are alike and the same. However, the Messenger of Allah and Ali (a.
s.) have their own virtue and excellence." Chapter 59 : Each Imam knows the succeeding Imam (a.s.) The words of Allah, the Most High, "Allah commands you to deliver the trust to its people,"(4:58) is a reference to the Imams (a.s.) H 729, Ch. 59, h 1 Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu'alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha' from Ahmad ibn 'A'idh from ibn 'Udhayna from Burayd al-'Ijli who has said that I asked abu Ja'far (a.s.) about the following verse of the Holy Quran.

This is said to those who are commanded by the command of, "Believers, obey God, His Messenger, and your leaders (who possess Divine authority). . . ." (4:59) H 730, Ch.
59, h 2 Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu'alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha' from Ahmad ibn 'Umar who has said that I asked abu al-Hassan al-Rida (a. s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. "Allah (God) commands you to return that which had been entrusted to you to the rightful owners. Be just when passing judgment among people. . .
." (4:58) The Imam (a.s.) said, "They are the Imams (a.s.) from the family of Muhammad (s.a.) who are commanded to deliver the trust to the succeeding Imam (a.s.) exclusively and to no one else and that the succeeding Imams must not be deprived of this trust." H 731, Ch.
