Hadith 35-12

وَبِهذَا الإسناد، عَن جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّد، عَن أَبيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِى‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ أَوْصى‏ النَّبِي‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ إِلى عَلِيِّ وَالحَسَن وَالحُسَيْن‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ ثُمَّ قالَ فِي قَوْلَ اللَّه عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ قالَ الأَئِمَّةِ من وُلْدِ عَلِيِّ وَفاطِمَة عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إِلى أَن تقوم السَّاعَةَ.

According to the same chain of documents on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.), on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Ali (a.s.) it is narrated that in his will the Prophet (S) advised the people to follow Ali (a.s.), Al-Hassan (a.s.) and Al-Husayn (a.s.); and said the following regarding the following verse from the Holy Qur’an, ‘O ye who believe! Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and those charged with authority among you.’ [45] What is meant by this verse is the Imams (a.s.) from the progeny of Ali (a.s.) and (the Blessed Lady) Fatima (a.s.) until the Hour (the Day of Resurrection) arrives.
