Hadith

Ḥadīth (حديث‎ ḥadīth, pl. Aḥādīth, أحاديث, ʼaḥādīth, also "Traditions") in Islam are the record of the words, actions, and silent approval, traditionally attributed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Within Islam the authority of hadith as a source for religious law and moral guidance ranks second only to that of the Quran.

You could post it here and see if someone can locate it (that is, assuming it exists - some references are incorrect).

After your firm decision to be an obedient servant of Allah in every matter in your life, you need to know what to do and what to avoid. You need to read books on Islamic practical laws which are available online like www.Sistani.org

If you have any question, you can ask trusted scholars who can guide you.

May Allah Bless and Help you.

Yes. There are Quranic verses as well authentic Hadeeths.

'Quranic verses mentioned the similarity between Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Prophet Musa (AS) (Verily, We Have Sent to you a Messenger (Muhammad) , who will witness on you, as We sent Musa to Pharaoh as a Messenger) (Sura Al-Muzzammil, verse 15. The successors of Musa were twelve as we read in a Quran (Sura Al-A'raaf, verse 160). These two verses show that as Musa (As) had twelve successors, Muhammad (SAWA) will have twelve successors.

'Authentic Hadeeths narrated in Shia and Sunni books including Bukhari, Muslim , Tirmithi, Musnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal, Mustadrak of Al-Haakim and many others mentioned that the successors after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) will be twelve .

This likely refers to volume 1, page 289.

Frequently, the standard Arabic printing is cited, and so you can find it in that version. If the book was written in Farsi, they may be citing a version in Farsi or with Farsi in it. So you may need to dig to find the exact narration, if they have not given publication information.

Sometimes it is easiest to try to find it by back-translating it and searching online or on library software such as ablibrary.net until you find what you are looking for. This website can also help with seaching: https://hadith.academyofislam.com/

Imam Ali (AS) did write Hadeeths which he heard from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). His book is called Al-Jaami'ah الجامعة. or Kitab Ali.

'It remained after him with the Infallible Imams and now it is with Imam Al-Mahdi (AS).

Ahlul Bayt (AS) encouraged their students to write books in Hadeeth and other fields of knowledge. Four hundred main books were complied by the sydents of Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) but the enemies destroyed them. We have now Fiur Hadeeth books ( Al-Kaafi, Al-Tahtheen, Al-Istibsaar and Al-Faqeeh) which contain main narrations which are much more than the narrations in Bukhari and Muslim.

Quran states in Sura 3, verse 61 that Ali (AS) is like the self of the Prophet وأنفسنا وأنفسكم. Say: (O Muhammad): Come, let us call our sons and your sins, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. The Prophet brought Ali as himself. This means that Ali's status is the greatest after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
The Prophet (SAWA) said to Ali (AS): O Ali, you are from me and I am from you.
- Saheeh Al-Bukhari , Volume 5, page 22.
- Musnad Ahmed ibn Hanbal 1; 98.
- Sunan Al-Bayhaqi ,V.8, P.5.
- Al-Mustadrak Ala Al-Saheehain by Al-Haakim Al-Nisbouri, V.3, P.120.
-Al-Khasaa'iss by Al-Nasaa'i, page 19. And many other Sunni books of Hadeeth.
'This prophetic statement is very clear that Ali is from the Prophet and the Prophet is from Ali. No prophet was having such high status from the Proohet Muhammad (SAWA).

I have never seen such narration. Please ask those who claim it to provide its reference so that we can check it and research the authenticity of the narrators.

Bismihi ta'ala

Other than the holy Quran, we do not have a book that is completely authentic, from cover to cover. Even our early hadith books like al-Kafi, etc, are to be individually evaluated and scrutinised by experts of hadith grading. 

The great book Bihar al-Anwar, by al-'Allamah al-Majlisi (q.s.) is no exemption as well. As for percentage or proportion, that cannot be defined as a whole, because each scholar could have different methodology of grading authenticity, and other related issues to hadith grading.

In every field of knowledge, reasonable persons follow the highly knowledgeable experts in that field. It is the logic of life that the less knowing must refer to the most knowing. It is in medicine, engineering, law, etc and no one objects on it at all. Why some people doubt it when it comes to religious knowledge? This doubt is illogical. Allah is Quran ordered to refer to those who are more knowledgeable.(Sura Al-Nahl, verse 43 and Sura Al-Angiaa', verse 7 and Sura Faaturm verse 14).

Following the verdict of the Marje' is the way for people to follow the authentic evidence derived by the highly learned experts in Islamic knowledge. Those who doubt Taqleed do not have any other way to know the evidence because they themselves are not experts in Islamic knowledge. Some of them follow less knowledgeable persons instead of following more knowledgeable which is type of injustice.

Allah (SWT) Says in Quran: He (Allah) Renders barren whom He Wants).(Sura Al-Shura, Verse 50). It is the Decision and Wisdom of Allah who should be barren and sterile. No blame at all on the person who was created by Allah as barren or sterile. Marriage which aims having children needs a fertile wife, and that is the reason of the narrations. No doubt that Allah (SWT) Makes some of His creatures as sterile for reason in their favor even if they don't know it but it is definitely in their favor. It can be avoiding them a harm which can happen if they had children or any other serious reason.

Same question should be put for Sunni books of Hadeeth. Thousands of narration were been fabricated by Sunni narrators for different reasons, so how Sunni Ulama identify the authentic? Our Shia scholars do thorough research on every narration and all its narrators. We don't accept but the narration which is according to Quran and authentic Hadeeth and which has been narrated by authentic narrators one after another. Our main books of Hadeeth have much more authentic Hadeeths that what our Sunni brothers have in their books of Hadeeth.

Knowledge and degrees of faith are open for women equally as open for men. Many women are much higher in knowledge and faith than thousands of men. Allah (SWT) Created Fatima (AS) who is higher in her knowledge and faith than all human beings except her father and her husband (SAWA). That proves that there is no gender discrimination at all in Islam.
