Description: Imam Ali (a.s.) said, ‘Avoid dispute, for it brings about doubt.

Description: Imam al-’Askari (a.s.) narrated, ‘The subject of disputing about religion was mentioned in the presence of al-Sadiq (a.s.), and that the Prophet (S) and the infallible Imams (a.s.) prohibited it. So al-Sadiq (a.s.) said, ‘He never prohibited it absolutely, but only prohibited dispute in ways that are not the best.’[Ibid. no. 2]

الإمامُ العسكريُّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ذُكرَ عند الصّادقِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) الجِدالُ في الدِّينِ، وأنّ رسولَ اللّه‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) والأئمّةَ المعصومينَ (عَلَيهِمُ الّسَلامُ ( قد نَهَوا عنه، فقالَ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لَم يُنْهَ عنهُ مطلَقا، لكنَّهُ نهي عنِ الجِدالِ بغيرِ الّتي هِي أحسَنُ.
