The hadith of the twelve caliphs: an approach to understanding the meaning

This research deals with the prophet's tradition -God bless him and grant him salvation: (this religion will remain mighty and strong at the time of twelve Caliphs, all of whom are from Qureish). I dealt with this prophetic through three areas: The first: its interpretation and criticism when I interpreted it from different sources of prophetic tradition, then I judged AlIsnad (ascription) and Al-Maten (text). The second: scholars statements about the twelve Caliphs whose most statements centered on wide intervals, namely, the Caliphs who came after the prophet -God bless him and grant him salvation- or after the Orthodox Caliphs and the third about the discussion of different statements and determining the most acceptable.
