Imam Sajjad 'Believers do not do Taqiyyah!'

[Rationalist]

The Imam, peace be on him, stated the following tradition"

“As for the believer, he mixes his knowledge with his clemency. He sits in order to learn and listens in order to be free (from faults). He does not tell anyone about trust even his friends. He does not conceal witness for those far. He does not do any of the truth for dissimulation nor does he leave it out of modesty. When men praise him, he is afraid of their words. He asks Allah’s forgiveness for what they do not know. Those who ignore him do not harm him.43” This tradition of the Imam, peace be on him, includes the most prominent qualities of hypocrites and believers. (Tuhaf al-‘Uqu`l, p. 280. Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 17, p. 315, first edition. Some of this tradition has been mentioned in Wasa’il al-Shi‘a, vol. 11, p. 272.)

Shias will say:

He was doing taqiyyah about not doing taqiyyah.

Cool quote. Thanks.

I think they will say you cannot do taqiyyah around 12ers, but its a big reward against non-12ers.
