‘I and Suleyman Bin Khalid came up to Abu Abdullah (asws). Suleyman Bin Khalid said to him (asws), ‘The Zaydiites (a sect) are a people who are well known, and tried, and famous among the people, and there is none in the earth who is more praised and more beloved to them than you (asws) are. So I see that if you (asws) can be closer to them and bring them closer to you (asws), then you (asws) should do so (lead them as an Imam (asws))’. So he (asws) said: ‘O Suleyman Bin Khalid! If those fools are intending that they would prevent us (asws) from our (asws) Knowledge, to go to their ignorance, then they are not welcome. However, if they had heeded our (asws) words, and would have waited for our (asws) Command, then there would be nothing wrong with it’.
