There are many hadiths in Sunni Sihah Sitta which say that there will be twelve caliphs of Prophet Muhammad SAW. Of course Wahabis/Salafis/Nasibis cannot follow Ahl-ul-bait . Therefore they will not agree with me that these hadith are related to 12 infallible Imams. My object of posting this topic is to ask my Sunni brothers and Nasibi/Wahabi/Salafi enemies (enemies of truth as well) who are those 12 caliphs on their side.
I shall first post the hadiths with links then i shall tell who are the twelve caliphs / infallible imams.
Sanan Abi Daud Book 31, Number 4266:
Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The religion will continue to be established till there are twelve caliphs over you, and the whole community will agree on each of them. I then heard from the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) some remarks which I could not understand. I asked my father: What is he saying: He said: all of them will belong to Quraysh.
