Bashir narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) reported on the authority of his father (a.s)
“I swear by God that there is nothing on the Earth dearer to me than concealing faith, my darling.

If the decree to the holy Jihad is issued by the Imam (a.s), then the followers do not have to conceal their faith anymore.”
