If one's knowledge is of this nature, is it not proper for him to hold his tongue and preserve his dignity? The fact is that faith in "raj'ah" is not one of the fundamentals of Shi'ism. Of course recognising its validity is considered necessary, just as in other Islamic groups one should affirm the events of the unseen and the signs of doomsday: we may mention for instance, the coming of Christ and the appearance of the Dajjal, which all the sects believe in. These are not counted among the principles of Islam nor is their denial the cause of expulsion from Islam, nor belief in them proof of one's being a Muslim. The same argument view holds good for faith in "raj'ah".
Dhahabi anaelezea kwa mara nyingine tena kwa mamlaka ya Za'idah kuwa Jabir alikuwa rafidhi, na alikuwa akiwashutumu wapinzani wote wa Imam 'Ali a.s. Lakini pamoja na hayo yote, Nasa'i na Abu Dawud wamechukua riwaya zake kama vile riwaya yake kuhusu suju al-sahwa yaani kurekebisha kupitiwa wakati wa sala. Sha'ba na Abu 'Awanah na washiriki wao vile vile wamechukua riwaya zake. Abu Dawud na Tirmidhi wanamchukulia yeye miongoni mwa waandishi wao waaminiwao na kuwategemea kwa usahihi.
