A respond to doubts casted by Qaffari, attributing the origin of Imamate to Abdollah Ibn Saba

One of the fictitious theories on the origins of the Shiism is the theory which considers Shiism a result of Abdollah Ibn Saba’s efforts. This theory has been put forward by Shia objectors for centuries now. Among them, Naser Alqaffari, one of the contemporary Wahhabi scholars, referring to Shia sources and books has claimed the same thing but differently from others. In present writing this claim will be rejected based on three reasons: 1.Existance of prevailing credible proves that Shiism was originated as a result of Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) efforts. 2. Analysis of the narration in which Shiism is attributed to Ibn Saba. 3. Ibn Saba’s contradictory believes to those of twelve-Imam Shiism. According to the conducted analyses we can conclude that the origins of Shiism dates back to the very time of Prophet Mohammad Himself. Ibn Saba, supposing such person ever existed, had believes totally different than those of the Shiites. And none of the Shia sources has considered him as an origin of Shiism.
