In the prayer “Jāmi’ah Kabīrah” it is mentioned that,

For the sake of you; Āhl al-Bayt 1(pbu th), God has taken away the abjection and humiliation from us.

And He [God] cleared up the smear of sorrow and grief from our faces

And saved us from falling into the abysses of ruin and fire of [God’s] punishment
To be gifted [to us] God’s mercy, it needs to be received [first] by Imams (pbu th) who are so called “special mediums of God”.

The infallible Imams (pbu th) are the full of mercy

That is, the creation of all these beings in the universe of existence, including the inanimate and plants and on the whole ,whatever we call “thing”, is due to one origin: Imams (pbu th).

 

 

1-     Āhl al-Bayt  (pbu th) are successors of Muḥammad (pbuh&h) and consist of Muhammad, Fatimah, Ali, Hasan, and Ḥusayn (known collectively as the Ahl al-Kisa, “people of the mantle”) and the Imams the Fourteen Infallibles (pbu th)
