The number of the twelve Imams is mentioned in Quran when mentioning the divine leaders after Prophet Musa (Sura Al-Maa'idah , verse 12).
Allah (SWT) Mentioned that Prophet Muhammad is sent to people as Prophet Musa was sent. (Sura Al-Muzzammil , verse 15.
'From these two Quranic verses we know that the divine successors of the Proohet Muhammad are twelve just like the divine successors after Musa.
'Mentioning the names of the twelve Imams explicitly is not our job to ask as Allah did not mention explicitly the numbers of units of our most compulsory daily prayers and left if to the Prophet (SAWA) to explain. Allah Knows what to mention and not.
'As the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) mentioned the number and the names of the twelve Imams, every Muslim must believe and follow the Prophet (SAWA).
Weeping and crying for the tragedies of Ahlul Bayt (AS) is a natural result of real love for the Prophet (SAWA) and his Holy Progeny. When your heart has the love for Allah (SWT) and the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt, you will cry for their sufferings. Sometimes, sinful acts keep a shield on the heart preventing the person from reacting and feeling the proper feeling of sadness. Repeating Istighfaar is very useful. There is a Hadeeth stating that more sinful acts lead to rigid ness in the heart, which leads to inability to cry.
Every sinner gets one sin for sinning as we read in Quran: (Whoever brings a good deed shall get ten times like it, and whoever brings a bad deed shall have only like it)
(Sura 6, verse 160)
The wives of the Prophet (SAWA) were been warned that if one of them does bad, she will get double the punishment. (Sura 33, verse 30). That is because of the great responsibility on every wife of the Prophet (SAWA) to obey Allah and the Prophet and be a good example for others.
Descendants from Ahlul Bayt (AS) are not included in this rule. This is according to the verdicts of most of our Maraaje' of Taqleed.
