Also, these Imams were from the best of the generations  and thus are considered by the consensus to have reached human  perfection. So, how can one say that following any one of these imams is  not the right way?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I am afraid it is not true. The imams do not profess that they are merely reporting the <em>ijtihad<\/em>  done by the Prophet (sws) transmitted to them. If in a particular case  we find the matter as such then it becomes subject to the analysis of  historian who will find out whether the matter has been truly ascribed  to the Prophet (sws) or not. We all know that the imams do their own  ijtihad based on reasoning and inference from the Holy <em>Qu\u2019ran<\/em>.  Both of these things we all are bestowed with. We know that no one can  claim that he has the very view which would have been of the Prophet  (sws) in a particular matter. And we even cannot be sure absolutely that  a matter has been truly ascribed to the Prophet (sws) since there  involve matters which render the report subject to analysis. Therefore I  am afraid this argument does not hold water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-12-31<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6052\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An argument proposed by the proponents of following  the im\u0101ms is that they (the imams) took all of that (the religious  knowledge) from the students of the companions (tabi\u2019in) who received  their instruction from the companions themselves, who received their  instructions from the Lawgiver himself, may Allah bless him and grant  him peace, divinely protected from every mistake, who bore witness that  the first three generations of Muslims would be ones of virtue and  righteousness.
