Qarmatians, on the other hand, originally included <a href="/wiki/Ali" title="Ali">Ali ibn Abu Tālib</a> instead of Adam in their list of law-announcing prophets. Later substitution of Adam in place of Ali as one of the nātiqs, and the reduction of Ali's rank from a prophet level to that of Muhammad's successor indicate the renouncement of their extremist views. Furthermore, they believed that each of the first six nātiqs were succeeded by a spiritual legatee called <i>wāsi</i> or foundation <i>asās</i> or silent <i>sāmit,</i> who interpreted the inner esoteric <i>(<a href="/wiki/Batin_(Islam)" title="Batin (Islam)">batin</a>)</i> meaning of the revelation. Each <i>sāmit</i> in turn was followed by <i>Seven Imāms</i> called <i>atimmā',</i> who guarded the true meaning of the scriptures and the laws.<sup id="cite_ref-Ismāʿīlis_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ismāʿīlis-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Isma%27ilism" title="Isma'ilism">Ismaili</a> interpretation, the Imam is the guide and the intercessor between humans and God, and the individual through whom God is recognized.
