بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

‎اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Translation: Imām Abī Ja'far (al-Bāqir) said, "Friday on the day of Arafāh, Allāh had revealed, 'Today I have completed your religion for you (verse [5:3])'."

Literally the next line says “The completion of religion is achieved by Wilayat of Imam Ali (as)”. And at the end of the Hadith The Prophet (sawa) takes Imam Ali’s (as) hand and appoints him as successor.

I’m amazed at such ignorance, bringing a proof to prove your case but it only refutes it. He couldn’t find any hadith that denies the Wilayah of Imam Ali and had to resort to such pathetic attempts.

For those who are interested:

1. Verse 67 of Al Maeda refers to the Prophet (sawa) delivering the message which is appointing Imam Ali (as) as the successor after him “ O Messenger! Convey everything revealed to you from your Lord. If you do not, then you have not delivered His message. Allah will ˹certainly˺ protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the people who disbelieve.”
