He is more debating than that, and debated the entirety of the people of (other) religions had debated him, and he has debated them, so how can a young boy from the boys debate him, a child from the children?’ فَقَالَ يَقُولُ لَهُ الصَّبِيُّ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ إِمَامِكَ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُخَاصِمَ النَّاسَ فَلَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَكْذِبَ عَلَيَّ فَيَقُولُ لَا فَيَقُولُ لَهُ فَأَنْتَ تُخَاصِمُ النَّاسَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَكَ إِمَامُكَ فَأَنْتَ عَاصٍ لَهُ فَيَخْصِمُهُ So, he -asws said: ‘ The child would say to him, ‘Inform me about your Imam -asws .

Did he -asws instruct you that you should debate the people? ’ So, he would not be able to lie upon me -asws , and he would be saying, ‘No.’ Then he would be saying to him, ‘Then you are debating the people from without your Imam -asws having instructed you, therefore you are disobedient to him -asws .’ يَا ابْنَ سِنَانٍ لَا تَأْذَنْ لَهُ عَلَيَّ فَإِنَّ الْكَلَامَ وَ الْخُصُومَاتِ تُفْسِدُ النِّيَّةَ وَ تَمْحَقُ الدِّينَ ‘‘O Ibn Sinan!

There is no permission for him to see me -asws , for the speech and the debating spoil the intention and obliterate the Religion.’’ [3] Also, we are not supposed to be challenging others, as it is forbidden by the Masomeen -asws , Ali Amir Al-Momineen -asws in his -asws will to Imam Hassan -asws said: وَ قَالَ ع‏ لِابْنِهِ الْحَسَنِ ع لَا تَدْعُوَنَّ إِلَى مُبَارَزَةٍ وَ إِنْ [فَإِنْ‏] دُعِيتَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَجِبْ فَإِنَّ الدَّاعِيَ إِلَيْهَا بَاغٍ وَ الْبَاغِيَ مَصْرُوعٌ‏ And Imam Ali -asws said to his -asws asws son -asws Al-Hassan – asws : ‘Do not call (anyone) to a duel (never call out for a challenge), and if you asws are called to it, then answer, for the caller is a rebel and the rebel would be stricken down’’.
