Shiahs quote from Bukhaari and other Hadith kitaabs to support their belief of the 12 Imaams.

Answer

Their stupid claim is devoid of reality. Firstly, Shiahs have no right to quote from Bukhaari Shareef and the other Hadith kutub of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. Shiahs believe that these kitaabs consist of fabricated narrations. When a Shiah cites Bukhaari, ask the miscreant if he believes in the authenticity of Bukhaari Shareef. Obviously he does not. If he utilizes the accursed Shiah belief of holy hypocrisy (Taqiyah) to bamboozle you, and falsely says that he accepts the authenticity of Bukhaari, then he will have to concede that all the praises and accolades which the Ahaadith in Bukhaari confer on Hadhrat Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, Muaawiyah and the other Sahaabah (radhiyallu anhum) whom the Shiah brand murtad, are true and authentic, and this no Shiah will ever stomach.

The 12 Khulafa mentioned in the Hadith refer to 12 Rulers (Khulafa) who have already passed away. The first four Khulafa (Hadhrat Abu Bakr, Hadhrat Umar, Hadhrat Uthmaan and Hadhrat Ali – radhiyallahu anhum) are included in the 12. The Shiah concept of 12 imaams is entirely something different. Their concept of imaams is a kufr concept. They believe that their imagined twelve Imaams were superior to even the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam), and that they used to obtain Wahi directly from Allah Ta'ala. Their claim is bunkum.
