Power link[edit]

In the section titled Bible there is this sentence: "In Shia view, God promised twelve rulers (Arabic: Imam), and when God says "rulers" or "kings" or the like, he always means prophets, imams, ie people with divine authority, since God is not interested in secular power."

The word "power" was a link to the article "Power", which is a disambiguation page that directs people to many power related articles. I believe the article Power (sociology) is the most relevant article for the way "power" is used in the sentence above, so I changed it. Gerry Ashton 17:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good work! --Striver 18:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Revert[edit]

I am reverting this since i see no source or motivation for the change.--Striver 13:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


No Hadith?[edit]

What's the point in a "Hadith" page where you can't even find any versions of the hadith..? (as per Editor2020's edits). Toushiro (talk) 04:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not "Listing of the various versions of the Hadith of the Twelve Successors". Like all Wikipedia articles, it's supposed to be about the concept of the hadith, and an explanation of the varying interpretations of the hadith. If one wants to read the different versions, one can go to Wikisource or Wiki Commons.
How about this compromise? One quote, from a hadith collection considered legitimate by both Sunni and Shiites.--Editor2020 (talk) 17:04, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a hadiths with reference, please consider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.103.195.117 (talk) 16:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes[edit]

@HyperGaruda I was editing the article while you were doing the same, I have mistakenly edited through the conflict, can you take a look at the recent change and give your opinion? Feel free to revert me if you need to. Regards FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:25, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@FreeatlastChitchat: Looks fine to me. I had only deleted the long list of caliphs, which you would have likely deleted too. - HyperGaruda (talk) 07:30, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@HyperGaruda I wanted to migrate the references at the end of the narration(First heading) to the bottom of the page in footnote form, but I seem unable to do so, and they look very ugly sitting there. Can you help with the cosmetic issue? Ty FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:46, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@FreeatlastChitchat: I've tried grouping them per specific hadith and the list is somewhat shorter now, but it's still an ugly 35 notes in a row. Can't think of something else at the moment though... - HyperGaruda (talk) 08:37, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

POV list[edit]

@FreeatlastChitchat: Why successors list is POV list? Please explain more about your mass deletion.Saff V. (talk) 07:20, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Saff V. because no source is given and the list is of shia successors so it is shia POV added by an IP troll. Also it falls under WP:OR as it is not supported by WP:RS FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:26, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

pushing agenda against valid NPOV edit by false libels[edit]

@FreeatlastChitchat:, @Jim1138: You two seem to have an agenda to keep out a valid sourced POV from the article! Worse you come forward accusing me of edit warring because I only defended my edits by explaining away ChitChat's unexplained or bogus removals. But instead of agenda and accusation care to explain why you don't want that POV included as per WP:NPOV. Other users involved in the page may also have their say. 5.232.159.210 (talk) 08:53, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Hadith's text[edit]

Where's the Hadith itself?

Also, the article needs to include the views on its validity. ¬Hexafluoride (talk) 14:43, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
