Narrated Qais Bin Abi Hazim: Abu Bakr went to a lady from the Ahmas tribe called Zainab bint AlMuhajir and found that she refused to speak. He asked; Why does she not speak. The people said; She has intended to perform Hajj without speaking. He said to her; Speak; for it is illegal not to speak; as it is an action of the pre-islamic period of ignorance. So she spoke and said; Who are you? He said; A man from the Emigrants. She asked; Which Emigrants? He replied; From Quraish. She asked; From what branch of Quraish are you? He said; You ask too many questions; I am Abu Bakr. She said; How long shall we enjoy this good order i.e. Islamic religion which Allah has brought after the period of ignorance? He said; You will enjoy it as long as your Imams keep on abiding by its rules and regulations. She asked; What are the Imams? He said; Were there not heads and chiefs of your nation who used to order the people and they used to obey them? She said; Yes. He said; So they i.e. the Imams are those whom I meant.
