“Relations between the Caliphs & the AhlulBayt (a.s.)”/ English

Due to benevolence, consultations, family ties and naming of children after the names of caliphs by Imam Ali (a.s.), and his avoidance of any dispute with them, there is a suspicion that the Caliphate of the Caliphs was legitimate. Therefore, in his book the author has tried to explain the legitimacy of the undisputed caliphate and succession of Imam Ali (a.s.) after the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and the reasons for his relations with the companions of the Prophet, the caliphs, and their families. The result of the reviewing the author’s thought indicates that based upon reasons from the Quran and authentic Hadiths from Shiite and Sunni sources, the undisputed caliphate of Imam Ali (a.s.) is definite, and referring to some behaviors, which may have been done with different motives, cannot create any ambiguity in this matter and be a proof of the legitimacy of the successor of the Prophet by the caliphs.
