The succession of the Prophet was one of the most important issues raised by Muslims after their demise and the ground for the unfolding of the enemies to prevent the will and Imamate of Imam Ali to became a prophet and has had irreparable consequences to this day. We have, therefore, documented this problem in traditional Sunni narratives so as to take steps to reduce its consequences. The Holy Qur’an has many evidences in support of the testament and it is found that in order to fulfill the sovereignty of God and its continuation, God has placed prophecy in the family of some prophets such as Prophet Noah and Prophet Abraham and until Prophet Muhammad’s end. This is to keep the burden of prophecy on the ground, which is what all Muslims believe in, and the controversy that followed the path of prophecy after the Prophet Khatami showed. Therefore, the first act after the fall of the Prophet is considered to be the caliphate and allegiance to the caliph in this regard and indicates the importance of the subject of the will and succession of God. According to the Shiites’ beliefs in will and the succession of Ali by the Prophet, the numerous traditions that have been quoted in the hadith sources also indicate some traditions among the earlier Sunni hadiths but What we are going to do here is to express the documentation and traditions that exist among the Sunni hadith sources in order to take a step towards clarifying the truth, so by examining the Hadith sources and its documentation and its truthfulness What we Shiites have proved is clear.
