the first imam of the shia who founded the imamate was imam `ali zayn al ‘abidin
imam ali zayn al ‘abidin was selected after the martyrdom of al husayn at karbala by the shi’a ‘ali
taqiya was a later heresy
the shia ‘ali were a rival dynasty of the umayyid and abbasid dynasties
imam ja’far was infallible and the other imams had a minimal margin of error
once imam ja’far was accused of using religious teachings to become wealthy and in his respose he commented on just about every type of knowledge that existed many topics of which he could become rich due to his knowledge of and he proved his sincerity and that teaching religion is a far less lucrative field thus proving their accusation false
an early sunni supporter of the shia ‘ali was the great imam abu hanifa who supported several shia rebellions
in order to make light of the then caliphs desire to kill Imam Ja’fars successor he listed as his successor the caliph’s governor and several others the caliph didn’t wish to kill as his successors thus foiling the caliph and governors plans to expend the next imam
his three sons were imam isma’il who predeceased him, imam musa al kadhim who was the choice of the imami shi’as and his other son abd allah al aftah
