Abstract

One of the reasons quoted by Shia theologians to prove the Imamate of Hazrat Ali (AS) and its authenticity is the "Hadith of Wasayat". This prophetic hadith is about the will of the Prophet (pbuh) to Imam Ali (pbuh) regarding the Imamate and succession after the Prophet (pbuh). The mentioned hadith has been narrated in different ways and texts in many Sunni sources, the famous text of which is the hadith "Likul Nabi'i was a guardian and an heir, and indeed Ali (a.s.) is a guardian and an heir". The application of the will and the position of the testator indicates the meaning of the succession of Ali (a.s.) as the leader of the Islamic Ummah after the Prophet (s.a.w.). In this article, we intend to first investigate the hadith and its methods, then examine the content in terms of types of content, their implication on the Imamate of Hazrat Ali (a.s.), and answer the existing doubts. In this research, we first collected the data in this field in a library method and by referring to reliable Sunni sources and by separating the evidence from the point of view of documents and brokers, we analyzed the content and answered the doubts
