SUNNI VIEW Here is a link to the Sunni interpretaitions. SHIA VIEW It is one of the many hadiths used by the Shia to justify the belief in Shia Imams . Shi'a further argue that the "Twelve Successors" must have come in succession, as implied by the title "Successors" (Arabic: '' Caliph ''). See [http://al-islam.org/twelve/4.htm SUNNI SOURCES Sahih Bukhari :''Narrated 89.329 Sahih Muslim It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir b. Samura who said: I joined the company of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) with my father and I heard him say: This Caliphate will not end until there have been twelve Caliphs among them. The narrator said: Then he (the Holy Prophet) said something that I could not follow. I said to my father: What did he say? He said: He has said: All of them will be from the Quraish. Sunan Abu Dawud It has been reported on the authority of Jabir b. Samura who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: The affairs of the people will continue to be conducted (well) as long as they are governed by twelve men. Then the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said words which were obscure to me. I asked my father: What did the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say? He said: All of the (twelve men) will be from the Quraish. It has been narrated on the authority of Amir b. Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas who said: I wrote (a letter) to Jabir b. Samura and sent it to him through my servant Nafi', asking him to inform me of something he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He wrote to me (in reply): I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say on Friday evening, the day on which al-Aslami was stoned to death (for committing adultery): The Islamic religion will continue until the Hour has been established, or you have been ruled over by twelve Caliphs, all of them being from the Quraish. also heard him say: A small force of the Muslims will capture the white palace, the police of the Persian Emperor or his descendants. I also heard him say: Before the Day of Judgment there will appear (a number of) impostors. You are to guard against them. I also heard him say: When God grants wealth to any one of you, he should first spend it on himself and his family (and then give it in charity to the poor). I heard him (also) say: I will be your forerunner at the Cistern (expecting your arrival). Musnad Ahamad Ibn Hanbal "There shall be twelve Caliphs for this community, all of them from Quraish." Yanibul Muwaddah In Yanibul Muwaddah and Al Qunduzi Al Hanafi chapter 3, page 99, volume (baab) number 76, their name is explicitly told And Then I Was Guided {Link without Title} Fara'id al-Simtayn Al-Juwayni reports that Ibn Abbas remarked that Muhammad said, "I am the chief of the Prophets and Ali Ibn Abi Talib is the chief of successors, and after me my successors shall be twelve, the first of them being Ali ibn Abi Talib and the last of them being Al Mahdi ." Al-Juwayni has also mentioned another tradition from Ibn Abbas that he narrates from the Muhammad: :''"Certainly my Caliphs and my legatees and the Proofs of Allah upon his creatures after me are twelve. The first of them is my brother and the last of them is my (grand) son." :''He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is your brother?" :''He said, "Ali ibn Abi Talib" :''Then they asked, "And who is your son?" :''The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, "Al Mahdi, the one who will fill the earth with justice and equity like it would be brimming with injustice and tyranny. And by the One Who has raised me as a warner and a give of good tidings, even if a day remains for the life of this world, the Almighty Allah will prolong this day to an extent till he sends my son Mahdi, then he will make Ruhullah 'Isa ibn Maryam (a.s.) to descend and pray behind him (Mahdi). And the earth will be illuminated by his radiance. And his power will reach to the east and the west." Al-Juwayni also narrates from his chain of narrators that the Muhammad informed: :''"I and Ali and Hasan and Husayn and nine of the descendants of Husayn are the purified ones and the infallible."

BIBLE Genesis 17:20: And as for Ishmael , I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into 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 . In the same manner, "great nation" means Ummah and not Kingdom . Further in the bible: Genesis 25:16: :''These were the sons of Ishmael, and these are the names of the twelve tribal rulers according to their settlements and camps. New International Version Verse 17:20 was quoting God, while 25:16 was the narration of a Bible author. Further, 25:16 contains a specifier, "''twelve tribal rulers''", not contained in 17:20, "''twelve rulers''". In Shi'a view, when Bible authors refer to "rulers", they refer to Kings or other with secular power, and not Prophets or Imams or the like. Hence, even if the specifier "tribal" was not used, Genesis 25:16 would still not the fullfilment of Genesis 17:20. In other words, in Shi'a view, God would not bother to promise people secular power. The famous Sunni scholar Ibn Kathir states: :''We see the following prophecy in the Vol 6 Page 249-250 And he says: and stated their number; indeed this is with regard to the Imams and the Hour will not come till they last. And many of those who accepted Islam from among Jews think they are the same Imams of the Rafidi sect." QUR'AN The Qur'an, quoting Abraham : :''"O Our Lord! Surely I have settled a part of my offspring in a valley unproductive of fruit near Thy Sacred House , Our Lord! That they keep up prayer; therefore make the hearts of some people yearn towards them and provide them with fruits; haply they may be grateful." Sura Ibrahim 14 : 37 SHIA SOURCES In a shia narration, Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir says: :''"We are the remnant of progeny. And that was the prayer of Ibrahim (a.s.) regarding us." {Link without Title} SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
