This part bamboozled me:

-------------------------------

Muhammad bin Abdullah Himyari also sent other queries to His Eminence, the Imam (a.s) and they are as follows:

Question 1: When a person is praying and after the first Tashahud getting up to perform the third prayer, is it obligatory to recite Takbir (Allaho Akbar) or is it sufficient just to say “Bi hawlillah wa quwwatihu Aqoomo wa Aqud.” (By the strength and power of Allah I stand up and I sit)a

Reply: There are two traditions regarding this matter. One says that when one goes from one position to another one must say Takbir. Another tradition says that: If one raises ones head from the second prostration and says the Takbir and then sits down and then gets up and after the Qiyam, sits down again, he does not have to say the Takbir. In the same way it is in the first Tashahud and in every position whatever you do by way of acceptance is correct. Takbir during standing up after the first Tashahud and etc. is not obligatory and the person has the choice to say it or not.

I don't understand, why would an infallible Imam who controls the universe & has complete knowledge mention two differing opinions. Shouldn't he state the CORRECT one as his word should be final on the matter?

Al-Himayri made it up probably, to fool his intelligent followers  ; )

You'd think they'd at least try the whole golden chain trick.
