50-The Shiite Imams Are Appointed By The Prophet Himself

50_ THE SHIITE IMAMS ARE APPOINTED BY THE PROPHET HIMSELF
WE BELIEVE that the prophet of Islam appointed all the twelve Imams as his successors one after the other.

In SAHIH MOSLIM, (A FAMOUS SONNI REFERENCE BOOK) We read:_

"In a place between Mecca and Medina which is named KHOMM GHADIR, the prophet made a speech for thousands of Moslim, through which he said,


"I am near to leave you for good. I am leaving two heavy things among you after me:_ QUR?N is the first one in which you may find light and guidance; and my nearest kins are the second. I advice you all not to forget God in relation to my Kins. not to forget God in relationto to My Kins."

The same tradition is also written in SAHIH TERMAZI, (ANOTHER FAMOUS SONNI'S REFERENCE BOOK). The prophet added then:_ "If you grasp the two heavy thing that I leave among you; you will never go astray."

The above mentioned incident is brought and found in so many famous islamic books such as:_

SAHIH MOSLIM_ VOL.2 _ P.1873

SAHIH TERMEZI_ VOL.5 _ P.662

SONAN DARMI_ VOL.2 _ P.432

KHAS?ES NESAIE P.20

MASNAD AHMAD _ VOL.5 _ P.182

Therefore, No Moslim can deny this tradition which is related by successive witnesses and important writers.

WE RELY also on another famous tradition which

is narrated in the SAHIH MOSLIM and SAHIH TERMAZI, SAHIH ABIDAWOOD and other famous books that our prophet has said,

"Islam will stand up to the resurrection day and untile twelve Imams all of whom are from Ghoreish; rule over you as my successors."

WE BELIEVE that there is no acceptable commentaries for such traditions as mentioned above except that belief which is found among our sect; the SHIITE.
