In the hadeeth of the successors it says:<br /><br />...<br />و دفعها زكريا إلى عيسى ابن مريم<br />و أوصى عيسى إلى شمعون بن حمون الصفا<br />و أوصى شمعون إلى يحيى بن زكريا<br />...<br />"...And Zakariyyah paid (appointed) `Eesa bin Maryam (عليه السلام) as his successor;<br />And `Eesa bin Maryam (عليه السلام) appointed Sham`oon bin Hamoon Al-Saffaa as his successor;<br />And Sham`oon appointed YaHya bin Zakariyyah as his successor;..."<br /><br />Now after reading some aHaadeeth on this matter, I have found a SaHeeH hadeeth that contradicts this.<br /><br />عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع أَ كَانَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ع حِينَ تَكَلَّمَ فِي الْمَهْدِ حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ فَقَالَ كَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَبِيّاً حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ غَيْرَ مُرْسَلٍ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ لِقَوْلِهِ حِينَ قَالَ إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ آتانِيَ الْكِتابَ وَ جَعَلَنِي نَبِيًّا. وَ جَعَلَنِي مُبارَكاً أَيْنَ ما كُنْتُ وَ أَوْصانِي بِالصَّلاةِ وَ الزَّكاةِ ما دُمْتُ حَيًّا (مريم -: 30 - -) قُلْتُ فَكَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ حُجَّةً لِلَّهِ عَلَى زَكَرِيَّا فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ وَ هُوَ فِي الْمَهْدِ فَقَالَ كَانَ عِيسَى فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ آيَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَ رَحْمَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ لِمَرْيَمَ حِينَ تَكَلَّمَ فَعَبَّرَ عَنْهَا وَ كَانَ نَبِيّاً حُجَّةً عَلَى مَنْ سَمِعَ كَلَامَهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ ثُمَّ صَمَتَ فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ حَتَّى مَضَتْ لَهُ سَنَتَانِ وَ كَانَ زَكَرِيَّا الْحُجَّةَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَعْدَ صَمْتِ عِيسَى بِسَنَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَاتَ زَكَرِيَّا فَوَرِثَهُ ابْنُهُ يَحْيَى الْكِتَابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ هُوَ صَبِيٌّ صَغِيرٌ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ لِقَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يا يَحْيى خُذِ الْكِتابَ بِقُوَّةٍ وَ آتَيْناهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا (مريم -: 12 -)<br />From Yazeed Al-Kunaasee said: I asked abu Ja‘far (عليه السلام) Was `Eesa (عليه السلام) at the time he spoke to people from the cradle a Divine Authority over the people of his time?’ He (عليه السلام) said, ‘At that time he was a prophet, a Divine Authority over the people but not a Mursal (Messenger). Have you not heard the words of Allaah that say, “He said, ‘I am the servant of Allaah. He has given me the Book and has appointed me to be a prophet (19:30). He has blessed me no matter where I dwell, commanded me to worship Him and pay the religious tax for as long as I live.’” (19:31)<br /><br />I asked: ‘Was he the Divine Authority over Zakariyyah at the time that he was in the cradle?’ He (عليه السلام) said, ‘At that time `Eesa was a sign from Allaah to people and a blessing to Maryam when he spoke on her behalf. He was a prophet and a Divine Authority over all those who heard his words at that time. Thereafter he did not speak until he was two years old. At Such time Zakariyyah was the Authority of Allah (عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ) over the people after the silence of `Eesa. Zakariyyah then died and his son Yahya inherited the book and wisdom and he was a small child. You can hear it in the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious, ‘We commanded John, Zakariyyah’s son, “O John, follow the guidance of the Lord with due steadfastness. We gave knowledge and wisdom to John during his childhood.’” (19:12)<br /><br />Source:<br />Al-Kulayni, Al-Kaafi, vol. 1, pg. 382-383, hadeeth # 1<br /><br />Grading:<br />Al-Majlisi said this hadeeth is "Kal-SaHeeH" (Like a SaHeeH (hadeeth))<br />--> Mir'aat Al-`Uqool, vol. 4, pg. 242<br /><br />By looking at the isnaad, there is no issues with any of the narrators, therefore this hadeeth is straight SaHeeH.<br /><br />Wa `Alaykum AssaalaamNader Zaverihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550069168488631827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962955340723370670.post-33058411855829569782011-01-29T05:07:39.402-08:002011-01-29T05:07:39.402-08:00Salam bro Nader,
