A4: None of the Imams (as) received revelation. On the demise of the Prophet (saws), Imam Ali (as) says in his book, Nahjul Balaghah: “Your demise caused the discontinuation of something that the death of no-one else could cause; revelation and prophethood. After Muhammad’s (saws) demise, the Infallible Imams (as) were only in touch with Allahs (swt) Angels, and this is not considered as revelation.
