Please, honoured brothers and sisters, take your time and read this Shiite leaflet:
The famous scholar al-Dhahabi says in Tadhkirat al-Huffaz, vol. 4, p. 298, and Ibn
Hajar al-'Asqalani says in al-Durar al-Kaminah, vol. 1, p. 67 that Sadruddin
Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin al-Hamawayh al-Juwayni al-Shafi'i was a great
scholar of Hadith. The same Al-Juwayni reports from Abdullah ibn Abbas (r)
from the Prophet (s) who said, "I am the chief of the Prophets and Ali ibn Abi
Talib is the chief of successors, and after me my successors shall be twelve,
the first of them being Ali ibn Abi Talib and the last of them being Al
Mahdi."
Al-Juwayni also narrates from Ibn 'Abbas (r) from the Prophet (s): "Certainly
my Caliphs and my legatees and the Proofs of Allah upon his creatures
after me are twelve. The first of them is my brother and the last of them is
my (grand) son." He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is your brother?"
He said, "Ali ibn Abi Talib" Then they asked, "And who is your son?" The
Holy Prophet (s) replied, "Al Mahdi, the one who will fill the earth with justice
and equity like it would be brimming with injustice and tyranny. And by the
One Who has raised me as a warner and a give of good tidings, even if a day
remains for the life of this world, the Almighty Allah will prolong this day to an
extent till he sends my son Mahdi, then he will make Ruhullah 'Isa ibn Maryam
(a) to descend and pray behind him (Mahdi). And the earth will be illuminated
by his radiance. And his power will reach to the east and the west."
Al-Juwayni also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (s) informed: "I and Ali
and Hasan and Husayn and nine of the descendants of Husayn are the
purified ones and the inerrant."
[Al-Juwayni, Fara'id al-Simtayn, Mu'assassat al-Mahmudi li-Taba'ah, Beirut 1978, p. 160.]
Questions that arise after reading this:
a) As I am not fond of the "Copy-Paste"-Culture, IŽd be glad if any brother or sister could confirm these quoted Ahadith in the originial books and if there has ocurred any changings in wording or terminology.
b) If these Ahadith are in these books, are they deemed as Sahih by the majority of scholars?
c) If yes, then on what basis. If no, then what is the Daleel?
d) What is the interpretation of these Ahadith and what conclusions could be made by reading these Ahadith?
for eventual answers, honoured brothers and sisters.
Note: I want answers, not people expressing how much they hate the irrelevance of the Shiites, since I have had enough of that. Try to be as objective as possible in your reasoning.
Please, bestow me your ideas so that I could be better prepared when discussing with Shiites, since all my relatives are Shiites.
