12 IMAMS In SUNNI Hadith : REFUTED | Sheikh Uthman Al Khamis

The Hadith of Jabir b. Samura on the twelve caliphs is one of the most pivotal and controversial Hadiths in Sunni-Shia polemics. Perhaps the inclusion of the number “twelve” in the report along with its relative popularity contributed to the mass-citation of this report by the Twelver Shia sect.

Unlike most Shi’ite sects, which appealed to their own reports to substantiate their respective positions on the number of Imams, the Twelver sect latched onto this report as external evidence to argue for their doctrine. This was demonstrated by some of the most prominent Twelver authorities, such Al-Tusi in Al-Ghaibah p. 127-133.

However, upon studying this report, it is found that there is no reason to suggest that it supports the Twelver position. In this video, Sheikh Uthman Al Khamis evaluates and dissects this tradition, and subsequently demonstrates the defectiveness of Twelver appeals to this hadith.
