One After the Other H 736, Ch. 60, H 1 Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu'alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha'who has said that 'Umar ibn Aban has narrated to me from abu Basir who has said the following.
"Once I was in the presence of abu 'Abdallah (a.s.). People mentioned the executors of the will and I mentioned Isma'il. The Imam (a.s.) said, "No, I swear by Allah. O abu Muhammad, it is not up to us. It is up to no one except Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. He makes them descend one after the other." H 737, Ch.
60, h 2 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from ibn abu 'Umayr from Hammad ibn 'Uthman from 'Amr ibn al-Ash'ath who has said that I heard abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) say the following. "Do you think that a testator of us chooses whoever he wants as the executor of his will? No, I swear by Allah, it is not so.
It is a covenant from Allah and His Messenger to a man and then to next man until the matter is delivered to its rightful owner." Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu'alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Jumhur from Hammad ibn 'Isa from Minhal from 'Amr ibn al-Ash'ath from abu 'Abdallah (a. s.) a similar hadith.

"Imamat (leadership with Divine authority) is a covenant from Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, pledged to particularly known man. The Imam does not have the right to divert it from the succeeding Imam.
Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, sent inspiration to David to appoint the executor of his will from among your family. It is has occurred in My knowledge that shall not sent any prophet except that he will have the executor of his will from among the members of his family. David had several children. Among the members of the family members of David there was a son whose mother lived with David and he loved her very much.
