Re: Part 1:The Imams from Ahlebayt whom Shia consider to be their divinely appointed
my dear frnd if you aren’t aware of issues, then its not my fault. You can accuse me of anything due to your ignorance.
Esteemed Shia scholar Allama al-Hilli in his “Khulasat” p 186 said: [INDENT]علي بن الحسين بن علي المسعودي أبو الحسن الهذلي له كتب في الإمامة وغيرها منها كتاب في إثبات الوصية لعلي بن أبي طالب (ع) وهو صاحب كتاب مروج الذهب
“Ali ibn Hussain ibn Ali al-Masoode Abul Hasan al-Khuzali. He has a book about imamate and others, from them book in the proof of wasiyat to Ali ibn Abe Taleb (a) and he’s author of book “Muruj az-zahab”.

We believe that bible is fabricated, correct? Yet we manier times quote the bible which debating with christians, if you know the reason for this, then surely you will get the answer for your question.
btw i don’t back up my articles ONLY on Shia hadeeths, but I mostly use AUTHENTIC sunni narrations too…
ok fine.
let me summarize what i said:
Both Shias and Sunnis agree that in Saqifa the ansar who were the majority since it was their homeland, were demanding caliphate, and they even threatened that they would take it on the points of swords, And on the other hand were mujahirs who too were demanding caliphate.
Now what made the powerful Ansar take back their claim, was the reminder that PROPHET(SAW) said caliphate is only the right of QURAYSH. This reminder made them leave their demand, which at one time they were willing to take away on point of swords.
So I request you to use your common sense and realize that, if those people left their claim when they were made aware of a COMMAND OF PROPHET(SAW). then how could such people at the same time reject the command of prophet(Saw) if supposedly he made Ali(ra) the caliph on Ghadeer.?
How could those powerful people, listen to the reminder of prophet(Saw), AND LEAVE THEIR DEMAND and on the other hand neglecting the supposed command of Prophet(Saw0 give oath of allegiance to BAubakr(ra)?
Doe sit makes any sense? this historical fact shows that Ali(ra) was never declared as Caliph by Prophet(saw).
