Why this hadith doesn't make sense:
- it talks about imams as (aleyhisselam) as if they were prophets
- it doesn't specify which imams. All imams? or just the 12 from shia?
- if all imams: everybody can be an imam. so to give everyone the position of Muhammed sas?
- if only the 12: probably shia source
I've found the hadith. It comes from shiavault:
https://www.shiavault.com/books/al-k...702-ch-53-h-1/
Hadeeth collection Al Kafi chapter 53
Definitely a Shia source
