Neither of these hadith’s states there will be a blood line of spiritual leadership to be followed.

The danger with a blood line of ULTIMATE spiritual leadership is that it negates the work of any scholar that would go against any writings of the scholars that come from the blood line, ex Jaffar Sadiq. If any item or issue where Jaffar Sadiq differs from Abu Hanifa, then we as muslims should automatically go with Jaffar Sadiq. This is just an example. And clearly this wasn’t done in the muslim world at the time. People had different schools of thoughts and theories and they debated each other in good natured approaches in public debates. If the blood line is the only group of people we should be listening to then ultimate religious judgement doesn’t rest with anyone else.

That’s not practical.

Anyway, the blood line doesn’t even exist anymore, so who do we follow now? If this was an infallible blood line, Allah would have kept it going, no?

Lol, that’s what i’m still trying to figure out, lol. Let me know if you find out before me!
