So, the Ima`m said to him: "We have accepted the property from you. We have granted it to you. We have made it lawful for you. We guarantee that Allah will send you to the garden.

Thus, Abu` Bakr asked him: "Abu` al-Hasan, tell me about 'Ali b. Abi Ta`lib, peace be on him. Was he an Ima`m and he kept silent? Or was he not an Ima`m till he came out and drew his own sword?" Zayd kept silent and did not answer him. So, Abu` Bakr repeated the question three times. However, Zayd said nothing. Then, Abu` Bakr said: "Perhaps there is an Ima`m who keeps silent. So, what has brought you here?"
