14 Masoomeen (AS) are Ulil Amr and Hujjat

 14 Masoomeen (AS) are Ulil Amr and Hujjat 

( Surah An-Nisa 4:59) 
 
( Ya Ayyuha Al-LadhÄ«na Amanu Aţī`u Al-Laha Wa Aţī u Ar-Rasula Wa 'UlÄ« Al-'Amri Minkum ) 
O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those among you who are in authority.( Surah An-Nisa 4:59) 


Tafseer: - In the book Ayaashi it is narrated by Imam Mohammed Baqir (AS) "We have been specifically referred in this verse and all the momeneen have been ordered to obey us till the Day of Judgment''. 


In Kaafi, Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS) narrates : - someone asked Imam ,who the (people or things that come after something else) (Ausiya) are whose obedience is our duty? Imam replied "those are they in whose favor Allah has showed/told about this verse :- 

"O you who believe! Obey Allah, obey his Predictor of the future and those among you who are in authority ..." and Allah also said this about them(5:55) 

No one else except Allah, is your Master and his Predictor of the future, and those who have Imaan, read prayers (Namaaz), and give Zakaat (Alms) while in the state of bowing down (rukooh). 




In Kaafi, in the explanation/statement of opinions of the above verse Imam Jaffer Sadiq (AS) said "The meaning of Waliekum is that in all your matters related to your life or money, more than anybody else the claim is of Allah, and His Predictor of the future (SA) and those who are believers (Imaan laye) that is Ali (AS) and all those from among his descendants who will be Imams, till the Day of Judgment". 
In this verse the word allazina amanu (who are believers) is very common that's why Allahespecially stated 

Note: Imam (AS) made it very clear for all the people, till the Judgment Day, that Ulil Amr can only be those who while bowing down gives Zakaat (Alms). Because by using the word ''allazina amanu'' any body can say it is meant for us, as we are also the believers. 

For further beginning and building on proof we are presenting here anotherexplanation/statement of opinions of the above verse in which it has been described name by name about who Ulil-Amr are. 


In Maani ul Akhbaar, through Saleem bin Qais (Islamic-law approved)i it is narrated that a man asked Hazrat Ali (AS) about what is the least thing which one should know to remain safe from leading into error, Imam replied "Not knowing whose obedience is ordered by the Allah and whose authority (wilayat) has been legalized, who is the proof of him on his earth andselected/hired whom as the witness over his creatures' good and bad deeds", the man further asked O Ameerul Momineen who are they? Imam replied "they are those whom Allah has related with himself and with His Predictor of the future (SA) and said '' Ya Ayyaohal spend time relaxingena.........minkum'', : ''O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those of you who are in authority...". Then the man kissed the forehead of the Imam and said you have shown me the morally right path, removed all my concerns and drove away all the doubts in my mind. 




In the book Al Ikmaal it is narrated by Jaber bin Abdullah Ansari that when this verse wasshowed/told to the Holy Predictor of the future (SW) I enquired O Rasool Allah (SW) I have recognized Allah and his Rasool (SA) but who are these Ulil-Amr? Whose obedience, Allah has ordered, next to your obedience. Rasool (SW) replied " O Jaber they are my (people or things that come after something else) (Khalifa) and Imams of all the Muslims, the first will be Ali ibne abi Talib (AS) then Hassan (AS) then Hussain (AS) then Ali ibne Hussain (AS) then Mohammed ibne Ali (AS) who is referred as Baqir in torah and O Jaber you will very soon meet them, this way when you meet them, bring across my salaam unto them. After them, Jaffer ibne Mohammed (AS) then Musa ibne Jaffer (AS) then Ali ibne Musa (AS) then Mohammed ibne Ali (AS) then Ali ibne Mohammed (AS) then Hassan ibne Ali (AS) and then, sharing my name, from my family, Allah's proof in this world among Allah's people, this Allah's ibne Hassan (AS) son of Hassan (as)]_), will be the one, on whose hands Allah will win (by force) this world from East to west. And he is the one, who will remain invisible from his shias and his friends till such time that during his (when one thing blocks the view of another thing) no one except the person whose heart has beencompletely tested by Allah will accept his Imamat. 


Jaber says he enquired O Rasool Allah (SW) will his shias be benefited by him even during his(when one thing blocks the view of another thing)? Rasool (SW) replied "Yes I swear by the one who has selected/hired me as the Predictor of the future. They will get educated through his light (Noor) and will be benefited by his Wilayat in the same way as people gets got good things fromthe sun even while the clouds have hid it. O Talk (unclearly) he is from Allah's Israar Maknuna (Hidden one) and Uloome Maqzoona (treasure). This way you also keep this hideed except from those who are eligible for it". 

Those who obey also person will be in loss.(23:34) 
 
If you obey a man like yourselves, look, it is certain you will be lost.
