Imam Zaid Bin Ali Zain'ul Abedeen r.

a bismillah al Rahman'ul Raheem

This small research is about Imam Zaid Bin Ali ZainulAbedeen Bin Al Hussein Bin Ali Bin AbiTalib PBUH a member of ahlulbayt (Household of Prophet Muhammad PBUH) from The Progeny of our Prophet from his daughter Fatima PBUT. The followers of Imam Zaid pbuh are called the Zaidi Shiites or Zaidiyah and they are known by many scholars in the Arab world as being the Shia of the Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Shiabecause they are moderate & their Fiqh is based on the Quran,the Sunnah and The Ijtihad. As for the Houthis of Yemen or the Houthiyah mvmnt they are a terrorist organization or militia led by a certain family and they have a long history of working with the Zionists against President Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt and today they are just an extension of the Twelver Rafidah mvmnt of Iran, The Connection between The Zaidi and Rafidhi Shiites was broken during the Revolution of Imam Zaid PBUH.

The following Narration is accepted by the mainstream muslims and the Zaidi Shiites and it illustrates the split between the two teams of Shiites:

: . : ) ( : .! : . : : : . :

Translation:

When Imam Zaid PBUH was getting ready to revolt against the Umayyad Ruler Hashim he was approached by a group of those who called themselves the Shiites of ahlulbayt.

Shiites: We heard your Call, what say you of the two Sheikhs (Shaykhan / Abu Bakr & Umar)?

Imam Zaid: What Can I Say about Them, They Believed in Allah and fought In his cause a Truthful Jihad, They were The Prophets Best Companions.

Shiites: Arent they the ones who took the right of your fathers? If not then why do you fight the Umayyads?

Imam: By God the Umayyads are unlike Abu bakr and Ibn al Khattab, They have strengthened the religion and erased the innovations and spread justice and goodness in the Ummah Whereas the Umayyads have oppressed Me, You and the Ummah They (Yazid) are the killers of Hussein and his family and have spread innovations and misguidance amongst the people.

Shiites: You must disassociate yourself from the two sheikhs.

Imam: By Allah I will Not! Nor have I heard that any from my family have done so.

Shiites: Either you disassociate yourself from them or we Refuse(Rafidah) you.

Imam: Go for you are the Rafidhah!!! (Refusors).

Some researchers have even theorized that the Shiites who deserted Imam Zaid PBUH didnt really do it because of Abu bakr or Umar RAA but they did so after seeing the large army of Hisham bin Abdul Malik so they just wanted a way out thus asking The Imam about The Two sheikhs when they already knew his opinion beforehand. So the Imam Zaid PBUH fought the war after a big part of his Shiites abandoned him and he got killed while those Shiites went to torment his brother Muhammad al Baqir PBUH and his son.

While The Zaidis criticize the Umayyads and any ruler who oppresses yet they dont believe in the God given right of Imamah or infallibility of the Imams or any of the Twelverrafidhi stories, they love the first four caliphs just like any other Muslim and their top scholars like Dr. Murtada Bin Zaid al Muhatwari teach SahihBukhari and SahihMuslim in theirMadrasas(Schools).

His Website: http://www.almahatwary.org/p3.htm

The following information is from the book of Dr. Ali al Salabi calledAl Dawlah al UmawiyahAwamil al IzdiharwaTadaiyat el Inhiyar on the fourth part about Revolutions during the time of Hisham Bin Abdul Malik he says That: Zaid Bin Ali PBUH is connected to the Prophet PBUH from his cousin Ali PBUH and his Daughter Fatima PBUH and was nicknamed Abal Hussein, he was of the Men of the third level From the followers (tabeeen) in Madinah, his mother was a slave from Sindh called Umm Walad, some narrations mention that Al Mukhtar Bin AbiUbayd al thakafi Favored her and bought her then he found that she fits Imam Ali ZainulAbedeen perfectly so he offered her as a gift and Imam Zaid complimented her by Saying She was patient after the death of her Sayyed and none was more patient , Fatima Bint Al Hussein said about her By Allah she was a good Relative , IbnQutayba narrates that her name was haydan or . The Father of the Imam was Ali ZainulAbedeen who was a man of the second level of followers in Madinah and was a scholar from ahlulbayt and one of the best of BaniHashim, the most famous narrations state that the Imam PBUH was born in 80 hijri and died in 122 hijri so he lived 44 years and in other narrations 42 years, he married ArbatahbintAbiHashim Bin Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Al Hanafiyah and from her he got his son Yahya then later in Kufah he married others, the first was called IbnatYaaqoob Bin Abdullah al Sulami from BaniFarqad then Ibnat Abdullah bin Abi Al Anbas Al Asadi and finally Umm Walad who gave him his sons Isa, Hussein and Muhammad.

The first difference between Imam Zaid PBUH and his father Ali PBUH is that the first was more of a revolutionary while the second was very peaceful and never rebelled against the Umayyad rulers of his time, maybe this was because Ali witnessed the horrors of Karbala that happened to his family at the Hands of Yazeed and Ziyadwhich is why he decided to spend his time learning and studying whereas Zaid heard only tales and was the complete opposite of his father and brother Muhammad al Baqir PBUH. According to the Zaidi scholars Muhammad Al Baqir PBUH advised his brother to not rebel against Hisham but Zaid never listened as he was a Man with great vision and dreams, he never stayed in Madinah(Like his father and big brother)which was known as the fort of ahlulbayt at that time but he left to gather knowledge from many cities and lands like Iraq after the people of Kufah wrote him letters just like they wrote for his fathers before him.

Dr.Ali al Salabi describes Madinah al Munawarah at the Time of Zaid That it was a Minaret of Knowledge because of the big number of companions and followers that resided in it, it was one of the pivot points of the Islamic state. The Imam grew up in a home of ahlulbayt full of knowledge as his father was one of the biggest of the Tabeeen(Followers) of his time and Zaid spent eighteen years with his father before he passed away then his big brother Muhammad PBUH took care of him and brought him up as a pious Believer who loved reciting the Quran and pleasing his lord.

Imam Zaid Said about himself:

Translated: By Allah I never told a Lie since I realized my right from my left nor have I violated a Mahram for Allah since I knew that he forbids it. It was in this religious environment full of taqwa that The Imam Grew up and he memorized the Quran as this was the habit of the companions and the followers to make their children memorize the Quran at a young age; the Quran was the main occupation of Zaid as he said: ..

Translated: I devoted thirteen years of my life studying and learning the Quran.. At the Time of the Imam there was a problem in the Islamic community and it was related to the politics and the leadership. The Shura(mutual consultation) which prevailed during the time of companions transformed to the domination of those with more power and leadership became hereditary as a result of the huge expansion of the Islamic state. Scholars like Imam Zaid PBUH worked their hardest to try and fix the situation of the Ummahby their Ijtihad The Imam adopted a specific school of Scientific Ijtihad in order to fix the mind of his Ummah and thus the relation between him and the Muutazilimvmnt came to light after he and Wasil Bin Ataa started writing to eachother and thus some political alliances were formed and we see clearly that the Imam was taking both the Educational and political approaches to remedy this issue.

Caliph Hisham Bin Abdul Malik was in power when Imam Zaid did the Revolution and the famous scholar Al Thahabee described him by Saying: He was Calm, decisive, Smart and a Good Politician, He Often Oppressed but also did justice at other times. But I guess The Biggest mistake he did was keeping all the money for himself and never spent on the peoplewhich is a problem we tend to face with leaders in our days and from experience this is more than enough reason to rebel against anyone also many famous figures supported this revolution such as Imam Abu Hanifah RAA.

For those who do not know, Imam Abu Hanifah also supported the Revolution of Abdullah bin al Hassan and his two sons Muhammad and Ibrahim against Al Mansoor.

Imam Jaafar al Sadiq PBUH also had a really strong relation with his uncle Imam Zaid PBUH and this is illustrated by several Hadiths such as the one written in the book of Doctor Al Salabi:

Translated: Jaafar appreciated and used to compliment his uncle Zaid as narrated by Umar Bin al Qassem: I entered on Jaafar al Sadik and he had some people of the Rafidah so I told him that those people disassociate themselves from your uncle Then Imam Jaafar said: May Allah Disassociate himself from those who disassociate themselves from my uncle, By Allah he was the one who read the Quran more than any of us and had more fiqh than any of us and kept the family united, none of us were like him.

It is also written that Imam Jaafar used to hold the ropes of his uncles camel/horse and he used to fix his clothes as he rode on the saddle, It is also recorded that Jaafar unlike his father was supportive of his uncles rebellion against the Caliph and had asked his uncle for permission to accompany him out to Kufah from Madinah in this Hadith:

Above Jaafar asks his uncle for permission to leave but his uncle tells him to be his Caliph in his Haram(in Madinah) while he is absent.

Translated: Al Tubuli and IbnAtheer narrated that a group of Shiites passed by Jaafar al Sadiq before Zaid took off and they told him that Zaid bin Ali was looking for bayaah(their allegiance to him) so should they give him the Bayaah Then Al Sadiq told them: Yes give him the Bayaah for he is our Sayyed and the best from amongst us. Then when they came they concealed this order from him.

Translated: Jaafar al Sadik used to make Dua for his uncle so that Allah may grant him victory so when Yahya wanted to follow his father Zaid, Jaafar told him: deliver my Salam to him and tell him that I ask Allah that he grant him Victory and keep you safe from harm.

And when News of Zaids martyrdom reached the ears of Jaafar al Sadiq he said:

Translated: By Allah Zaid Bin Ali has gone just like Ali and Hassan and Hussein and their companions went, all of them martyrs to heaven. Another one of the big Zaidi scholars is Ahmed Muhammad al Shami which says in the fourth volume of his book:

Translated: For those claiming that The Imam Zaid Bin Ali PBUH saw himself or his family as something special when it comes to Imamah or his familys divine right to rule Then this is absolutely refused and I have no clue how some people can say this in the name of our ZaidiMadhab or where they got these ideas from.

So just like the big Zaidi scholar Murtada Bin Zaidal Muhatwari says, there are no texts or narrations from Imam Zaid bin Ali PBUH where he claims that he is an infallible Imam or that any of his family members are infallible Imams with a divine right to rule over others or that they have any advantages over other Muslims because of some pure bloodline.

The Famous 6th century Scholar Nashwan bin Saeed al Hamiree in his popular book Al Hoor al Ein and the Other Big Zaidi Scholar Ahmad Bin Yahya al Murtada who lived in the 8th century and wrote Al ManiyahwalAmalfilMilalwalNihal has this text under The Description of the first Shias:

Translated: (The first Shias) Are those who supported the Imam Ali in his conflicts but they never differed from the rest of the Ummah(Nation) in their Aqeedah(Doctrine/Creed) and they believed in the Imamah and Caliphate of Abu bakr& Umar &Uthman.

So Both of these two huge 6th and 8th century Zaidi Scholars repeat the same text which clearly explains what and who are the true Shias that lived in the Days of companions. Nashwan bin Saeed further discusses the Imamah and states that it is a matter of Shura(mutual consultation) amongst the Muslims.

Now Dr.Ali al Salabi writes quite a bit about The Father of Imam Zaid (Ali ZainulAbedeen) in his book and I will translate an interesting narration in his book which shows his relation with the companions of The Prophet PBUH:

: : :

Brief Translation: When a few intruders who claim to be his(ZainulAbedeen) Shiites started attacking Abu Bakr and Umar he stood up against them and distanced himself from them after exposing their lies and schemes, AbiHazim al Madani narrated: I never saw a Hashimi(Sub-Tribe of Prophet Muhammad PBUH) who has more Fiqh(Knowledge) than Ali Bin al Hussein as I heard him say when he was asked

about the rank/status of Abu Bakr and Umar in the Sight of the Prophet PBUH, he pointed with his hand to the graves and said: They still hold the same rank today(All buried next to each other).

A Narration about Imam Zaids brother Muhammad al Baqir PBUT:

: : :

Translation: Imam Jaafar al Sadik narrated from his father, he said A Man came to my father Muhammad al Baqir PBUH and said: Tell me of Abu Bakr, Al Baqir Said: You Ask about the Sideeq?, The Man responded while a bit confused: You call him Sideeq? Imam Replied: May your mother forsake you! He was called Al Sideek by he who is far better than you and me, by the Prophet of Allah PBUH and the Muhajirun and the Ansars. He who does not call him a Sideeq may Allah Not guide him to the truth, You Must Love Abu Bakr and Umar and be their Walias Im responsible for what I say.

Translation: Muhammad Bin Ali narrated from his Father: some people from Al Iraq came and sat with me then they mentioned Abu Bakr and Umar and insulted them, then they humiliated UthmanSo I Insulted them.

Translation: Muhammad Narrated from his Father Ali bin Hussein: By Allah UthmanMay Allah be pleased with him was never killed by those who sought after justice. Ali ZainulAbedeen PBUH used to also correct the false beliefs of someMuslims such as in this narration: : : :

Translation: Ali ZainulAbedeen Said that a Man came to him and said: I came to ask something of you, I asked what it was and The Man said: I came to ask you when will Ali be resurrected? Then I replied: By Allah it will be on the judgment day and then he will only be concerned about himself. Ali ZainulAbedeen was also against the Ghulu(extreme love) of some people to ahlulbayt: :

ZainulAbedeen said: O people! Love us like you love in Islam and do not go to extremes as it will burden us. Ali Bin al Hussein PBUH was also one of the most loved of ahlulbayt of his time and was favored by the two Caliphs Marwan and abdul Malik and used to pray behind them without Taqiyyah.

AbiJaafar Narrated: I prayed behind them (Umayyads) without Taqiyyah and I bare witness that my father also did so without Taqiyyah. Many more narrations like these can be found in the Main books of the Zaidi Shiites from Imam Zaid, his father and his big brother PBUT which portray the reality of these historical Islamic figures and the problems they had to face during those days. ( : ) : ( ) : ( )

Translation: Some of the Ghulat of the Shiites came to the Imam Ali ZainulAbedeen and they mentioned Abu Bakr and Umar and insulted them in his presence So he mentioned to them the verse which says: For the poor emigrants, who were expelled from thier homes and thier property Seeking bounties from ALLAH and to please him and his messenger such are indeed the TRUTHFUL Then he told them: By Allah are from amongst these? they said No. Then he mentioned the verse: And (It is Also For) Those who before them, had homes (In Al-Madina) and had adopted the Faith (Meaning al Ansar) Love those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in thier breasts for that which they have been given (Booty of Banu Nadir) and give them (emigrants) preference over themselves even though they were in need of that, and whosoever is saved from thier own covetousness, such are they who will be the successful Then he told them: By Allah are from amongst these? they said No. Then he says you have confessed that you arent from the Muhajirun or the Ansar, not from the first(Muslims) nor the last and I bare witness that you are not from amongst these. Then he recited the verse: And those who came after them say: Our Lord! Forgive us our bretheren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed.

As for the big Zaidi scholar Ahmad bin Yusef said in his book Al Thamarat al Yaniaat about the explanation of the verse:

when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for God is with us" [Al Tawbah; 40]

He says that the verse is directed towards Abu Bakr RAA and that the verse means that He is a Companion of the Prophet PBUH and that The Prophet tells him to not be saddened and that Allah is with them and on their side then he continues explaining this section: then God sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not[Tawbah; 40]

And here he gave two opinions first he said that this was aimed at Abu Bakr PBUH as the serenity of Allah calmed him down because the prophet PBUH was already calm and the other opinion states that it was aimed at the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Now Abu Jaafar PBUH Was born in 56 Hijri during the Life of Sayyidah Aisha PBUH and Abu Huraira RAA, he was a very pious, educated & hardworking man and one of the twelve which the twelver Shiites revere and worship. Abu Jaafar or Muhammad al Baqir PBUH lived during the time of famous scholars like IbnKatheer, Al Zanaj, QatadahIbnShahabIbnFadeel Narrates that he asked Al Baqirand his Son jaafar about Abu Bakr and Umar so he replied O Salem be their wali (Close Friend, Ally, Lover) and disassociate yourself from their enemies for they are Imams of guidance.

Al Thahabee has an interesting comment on this Hadith, he says that Salem who narrated this Hadith had clear Shiism inside him as he was a Shiiteand IbnFadeel who narrated it from him is described by the Shiites as a Trustworthy Shiite However it seems Allah willed that they slip and include this Narration in their books to prove the innocence of the companions RAA.He also says that the Shiites claim that such narrations are considered as Taqiyyah(Concealing the truth) from the Imams. Also:

Bassam al Sayrafi Said: I Asked Abu Jaafar about abu Bakr and Umar and he said: By Allah Im their Wali (Ally, Close friend, lover, guide) and I never knew anyone from my AhlulBayt (Family) that wasnt their Wali. Also:

From Jaber al Jaafi from Muhammad Bin Ali that he said: The Consensus of Bani Fatimah (Children of Fatimah al Zahraa) was to say about Abu Bakr and Umar the best sayings(Compliment them). Also:

Narrated from Urwah Bin Abdullah: I asked Abu Jaafar Muhammad Bin Ali ZainulAbedeen Bin al Hussein about Decorating the Blade So he said: There is no issue in it for Abu Bakr al Sideeq used a decorated Sword, then I asked: You Say Sideeq? Then he suddenly stood up facing the Qiblah and said Yes Al Sideeq, Yes al Sideeq for if anyone does not say Sideeq may Allah not Accept his Actions (Worship/Good deeds) and his words in this life and the next. Also:

Jaber Al Jaafi Said: Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Hussein Told Me: It reached me that some folks in Iraq claim that they love us AhlulBayt and they insult Abu Bakr and Umar and they claim that I had ordered them to do it, So Tell them that I Disassociate myself from them and I swear to Allah That(he says some harsh words here) and may the Shafaah(intercession) of Muhammad PBUH never reach me if I didnt make Dua for them (Abu Bakr & Umar) and ask Allah to reward them, for the enemies of Allah are oblivious to their(Companions) great rank and good deeds Also:

) (

AbdulMalik bin Abi Suleiman said: I asked Muhammad al Baqir about the Verse: (For your Wali is Allah and The Messenger and The believers) I asked who are the believers? He said: The Companions of The Prophet SallaAllahuAlayhiwaAlihiwaSallam. So its not Ali Only like some of the Ignorants in Arabic Grammar Claim.

Imam al Mahdi (Not THE Mahdi, this is just one of the biggest scholars of Zaidiyah) says In Al Bahr al Zakhar about the Ten Companions: Abdul Rahman Bin Awf RAA Narrated from the Prophet PBUH: Abu Bakr is in Heaven and Umar is in Heaven and Uthmanis in Heaven and Ali is in Heaven and Talhais in Heaven and Zubairis in Heaven and AbdulRahman is in Heaven and Saed bin Abiwakkasis in Heaven and Saeed bin Zaidis in Heaven and AbiUbayd Bin al Jarrahis in Heaven.

The Great Zaidi Scholar also mentions in his book that Ali ZainulAbedeen had a Son called Umar bin Ali and he was Zaids Younger brother also SakinahBint Hussein married Zaid Bin Umar Bin Uthman bin Affan and her sister Fatimah was married to his brother Abdullah. Hussein Bin Ali Bin AbiTalib was Married to HafsaBintAbdulRahman bin Abu Bakr

Now since were on the topic of AhlulBayt I just got this interesting piece of Information that I want to share regarding their Graves, we all know that there are two graves for Imam Hussein PBUH and two different locations and other graves for Zainab PBUH The Thing is I just found out that what is buried in Egypt is the head of Imam Hussein while his body is in Iraq, As for Zainab PBUH the Eldest is buried in Egypt and the Youngest in Syria while the middle Zainab is BuriedIn Saudi in Jannat Al Baqii.

Still There is a great conflict of opinion as many scholars/historians say that the head buried in Egypt is not that of Hussein and that this whole thing is a big lie as they buried another head in that mosque, now as for the Zeinab which was buried in Egypt many scholars say that The Hadith which says that she went to Egypt is weak and that this isnt the grave of ZeinabBint Ali Bin AbiTalib, the Mufti of Egypt Muhammad Najib al Mutii in the magazine of Al Fateh also said Ibn al Atheer and Al Tabari both proved in their history books that Zeinab the sister of Ali PBUT returned to Medinah with those who remained after Karbala.

While were talking about the AhlulBayt lets mention what the twelver Shiites Fabricated concerning Imam Zaid PBUH who went to take the Caliphate for himself as if he never heard of the 12 Holy Saintly imams Re: Imam Zaid Bin Ali Zain'ul Abedeen r.a Twelver Shiite Fabrication section:

Source: Biharul Anwar 46/252 Translation: Al Baqir PBUH Said to his Son Jaafar al Sadiq PBUH: My Brother Zaid will Rebel after my death and he will call the people to give him Bayaah(Allegiance) and will replace my son Jaafar but he will last only Three and then he will Die and be crucified and Then Burned and his ashes will scatter with the winds and will be humiliated unlike any other human before him. In another narration:

Source:Ithbat al hudat 3/66

Translation: Zaid will call for himself after me So Ignore him and do not concern yourself with him for his life is short. Lots of Love as always in the twelver Shiite Narrationsshows how much the person who fabricated this hated ahlulbayt. Lets take some more examples,

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ... : :

In the Twelver Sahih Narration above we read That Zaid asks Mumin al Taq to give him allegiance so that he can fight with him against the Umayyads, Al Taq refuses because Zaid is not the Correct Imam, This comes as a Shock to Zaid which tells him that why didnt his father Ali tell him that he isnt an Imam while Only his Father and brother were and how come Al Taq knows about this and he doesnt, Of course Al Taq replies that his Father didnt tell him that out of his love for him because if he did tell him that and then Zaid refused him Then Zaid would end up in HellFire

You find this Sahih Narration In these Shiite books: Al Kafi 1/174, Al Ihtijaj 376, Al bihar 46/181, Muujam al khoei 7/354. And a Similar Narration in Al Kes****arjamah 280, Muujam al khoei 7/39, Al Manaqib 1/259. Imam Zaid used to Say:

He from amongst us who does not draw his sword (do Jihad) and Sits at home(Like Jaafar or his Father or His father) is not an Imam.

Source: Rijal Al Kesshi 261, Bihar 46/ 197, Al Manaqib 1/260, Al Kafi 1/356 Now this one:

: : . :

Jaafar al Sadiq used to tell Zaid: O uncle I pray to Allah that you do not get crucified in Kanasah, Then Zaids mother Said: You only say this out of jealousy from my Son, Then Jaafar said: I wish it was (three times) Source: Amali al Saduq 43, IyounAkhbar al Ridah 1/227, bihar 46/168.

: : : : : : : : : . : : :

In the Narration above, The News of Zaids Rebellion reached The ears of the companion of Al Sadiq so he came to him and told him that The Scholars of Kufah are all happy with Zaid and that Zaid is Saying that he is the knowledgeable Scholar that knows everything about the Quran and the Sunnah, Then Al

Sadiq told his companion to bring him this white paper and told him to read it, In the first line was No God But Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger and the second line Names of the Imams written down 2000 years before the birth of Adam then Jaafar Said: Where is Zaid mentioned? Truly the people who hate us and bare enmity and jealousy towards us are those closest to us.

Source: Mintakhab al Athar 34, Ghaybat al nuumani 42, biharul Anwar 46/173 & 47/141.

Then Jaafar al Sadiq completely contradicts himself here:

Al Sadiq Said After the death of Zaid: May Allah have mercy on him, he was a believer and a Knower and a Scholar and he was Truthful, if he were to rule he would have done great.

Source: Rijal al Kesshi 184, Muujam al khoei 3/178 & 7/347, biharul Anwar 47/326 & 52/301. Not only does it contradict because someone is clearly fabricating Hadiths But if he was a Scholar and a Knower and if he was Truthful then how can he not acknowledge or even know about the Imamah of his brother, father and nephew the answer is below:

: : : : : : . ! : :

They said to Mumin al Taq what happened between you and Zaid in the presence of Abi Abdullah? Al Taq said that Zaid said to his brother al Baqir: O Muhammad Bin Ali I hear that you are claiming that there is an Imam from AleMuhammad which we must Obey and Follow, Al Taq told him: Yes there is and your father was one of them, Zaid Then Said: My Father used to cool down the hot food for me so was he afraid that I burn my tongue and was he not afraid that I burn in Hell for not knowing My imam and religion?

Source: Rijal al Kesshi 164 & 165, Muujam al khoei 7/349 & 17/35, Biharul Anwar 46/189 & 193 & 47/405. So there you go According to the twelvers there are 12 Holy saintly Infallible Imams But one of AhlulBayt who is a Scholar and a Knowledgeable Man Zaid Bin Ali never knew about it even though his father, broher and Nephew were Holy infallible imams with their names written down 2000 years before Adam.

Finally I like to say that not only Zaid Claimed Imamah in the twelver books but Many others from AhlulBayt did that so I mention these three Fabricated twelver narrations:

: :

Al Sadiq Said: Still Men from AhlulBayt go and fight and Die and many die with themThen he said: There are The Liars amongst those Men.

He said: it is forbidden to go (Do Rebellion) with anyone from AhlulBayt until the Mahdi.

Al Baqir Said: The Example of he who is from ahlulBayt which goes Out (In Rebellion) before the Mahdi appears is like that of a Baby bird that falls from its nest and then children play with it. Sources: Al Ihtijaj 204, Bihar 46/179 & 52/304 & 52/139, Al Rawdah 310, Ghaybat al Nuumani 199, Noor al thaqalayn 4/46, Al Manaqib 4/188.

Nice try Rafidah.

Nchallah i'll post more Narrations about him soon if time permits,
