Ja’far al-Sâdiq who is the sixth imam in the Shi’ite Imamiyyah has seemed as an important figure in the early years of the second century when Abbasids received the caliphate from the Umayyad. He has been well-known for his scientific personality more than his political identity. He has not taken any part of the Shiite rebels as he has not to be inclined to Shiite rebels in his period. He has been taught by many respected scholars of Islamic Theology and has also trained a lot of respected scholars/ulema. The Hadith scholars have agreed on that he is a reliable and trustworthy hadith narrator. Shiite parties have wanted to legitimate themselves by imputing their erroneous views to Ja’far al-Sâdiq, who is a consented Imam. Ja’far al-Sâdiq has been for away from such expressions as divinity, Prophethood, miracle, bed’a, rec’at, metempsychosis, reincarnation and comparison defended by Gulat groups. He has pronounced a formal anathema against the people talking nonsense and expelled theirs leaders.
