Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Muhammad ibn al-Fadl from abu Hamza from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following “Allah sent Muhammad (s.a.) to all Jinn and manand appointed twelve executors of the will Of these people are those who have left this world and there are those who will have to complete their task. All the executors of the wills (of the prophets) experience certain traditions, Sunnah.

The executors of the will after Muhammad (s.a.) experienced the traditions, Sunnah of the executor of the will of Jesus who were twelve in number. Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) experienced the tradition of Jesus.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (6/228))
