Mahdaviyyat In Vaghefiyyeh and Imam Reza's (a.s.) Stand

With studying the history of Islamic sects, we can perceive that all those sects during their cultural and political life, have faced with a series of branches. In this article, this subject has been focused on, that the Shiite Isna Ashari (The Twelvers), also like other Islamic sects has faced with some branches too. A majority of those braches, have misused from the Mahdaviyyat movement. One of the important cases of those branches, is the Vaghefiyyeh sect with the claim of Mahadaviyyat for the seventh Imam (a.s.). This straying movement, in a short time, created some doubts. From another side, Imam Reza (a.s.) and some of his companions, stood in front of this group and answered the doubts in suitable ways and stopped them to cause sedition.
