Are there any Hadiths regarding the role of the Prophet (s) and Imams (a) as helpers of the believers? Or are the titles such as 'Mushkil Kusha' given by people based on the permissibility of Tawassul?
Quranic verses are clear that the Prophet (SAWA) helps the believers and he is very sympathetic on them, and he is the source of blessings on the believers.
'The Infallible Imams are the real successors of the Prophet (SAWA) and did and still do the same to help the believers. They are in fact the keys to open the gates of mercy for the believers and we have many authentic narrations stating that.
'Wassalam.
