I didn't want to derail the thread @justaguy313 so let's have a thread about this issue.
Basaair Al Darajaat – P 1 Ch 19 H 10
I checked the source of the hadith you quoted, I found this to be the header of the title of the hadiths under it:
CHAPTER 19 – REGARDING IMAMSasws OF PROGENYasws OF
MUHAMMADsaww, THEYasws ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE ZIKR,
THOSE ALLAHazwj HAS COMMANDED WITH ASKING
THEMasws, AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE UP TO THEM, IF
THEYasws SO DESIRE THEY ANSWER, AND IF THEYasws SO
DESIRES, THEYasws DO NOT ANSWER
The people of the Zikr I would say is better translated as the family of the reminder. I went to the 10th hadith. It said "The Messenger of God and the people of his household are the family of the reminder and they are the Imams/Leaders".
The following is not the best translation of these hadiths, but the book is here: https://hubeali.com/books/English-Books/Basaair-AlDarajaat-2Edition/BasaairAlDarajaat-Full.pdf
You can see several chains of hadiths instead in that chapter that all say the Imams (a) are the Ahlul-Thikr.
So whoever quoted that flat out lied to start with. Furthermore, there are many more hadiths including the famous letter of Imam Jaffar (a) that Shiites use to put in their houses a long time ago and hang it on the wall.
Sunnis also narrated that Imam Mohammad Al-Baqir (a) said they are the "ahlul-Thikr", the Sunnis interpret that as the Imam (a) claiming he is just one of the scholars and that the scholars overall are the Ahlul-Thikr.
