“As for the sayings (hadith) about the twelve after the twelve (a.), it is not ignored that, because of their rarity and sparseness, they do not make it necessary to have any certainty and assurance about them. It has been continuously transmitted that the Imams are twelve, that they will prevail until the Day of Resurrection, that the Twelfth is the seal of the representatives, successors and Imams, that the leaders are from the descendants of Husain (a.) until the Day of Resurrection, and similar statements. If it were prescribed that we had to profess the leadership of twelve after them, then we would have obtained continuous sources equivalent to those sources, so that one could look at the agreement of both, and it has been transmitted by the Sayyid Al-Murtada that he considered this permissible within the bounds of possibility and thought, and he said: “It is not certain after the death of Al-Mahdi (a. ) to assume the end of the imposition (Taklif), but it is possible that after him leaders will continue to exist who will protect the religion and interests of their relatives and this does not make us abandon the title of the Shiites of the Twelve, since it is imposed on us to know of their leadership and we have made a clear statement. Thus we distinguished ourselves with exclusion from others.” End of quote.” [Al-Iqaz Mina l-Haj’ah, page 401]
