Yaum-o-Dar Tradition Questioned by Ebne Timyeh for Its Successive Transmission (Tavator)

Question: What does Ebne Timyeh argue about successive transmission of Yaum-o-Dar tradition?
Answer: Ebne Timyeh says, "Imamite Shia does not argue tradition for Imamate unless it is a successively transmitted one, because they believe Imamate as one of the Fundamentals of Religion, while this tradition has never been a successively transmitted one.
We reply:
Firstly, we argue this tradition according to the Sunnite, because they reason any tradition (either isolated or unanimous tradition) for proving Imamate. So, we can argue this tradition for them.
Secondly, Imamite Shia argues this tradition for Imamate of Amiralmomenin because according to our narrative sources, it is a unanimous and certain tradition.
Thirdly,Shiite does not argue just this tradition for proving Imamate of Amiralmomenin (A.S). Rather, there are many other narrations proving certainly and inevitably Walayat of Amiralmomenin Ali (A.S) [1]
