The features of ImÄm AlÄ« (pbuh)’s Shiite
There is an astounding narration by ImÄm KÄdhim (pbuh), which is as follows:
If I investigate among my Shiites, I see that they only claim to act! And if I test them, they will turn to commit heresy (disbelief)!
If I purify them, there will be just one pure and honest among one thousands! Also, if I sift the people, just my special ones and family members will be around me!
