\n (Imam Hassan Al-Askari -asws said): \u2018And Al-Sadiq -asws said, and there had been mentioned in his -asws presence, the debating in the Religion, and that Rasool-Allah -saww and the Imams -asws had forbidden from it. So-Al Sadiq -asws said: \u2018It has not been forbidden from, absolutely. But, there is forbiddance from the debating with other than which is good.

Are you not listening to Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Saying: And do not debate with the People of the Book except by that which is best [29:46] ? And the Words of the Exalted: Call to the Way of your Lord with the wisdom and goodly exhortation, and have disputations with them by that which is best [16:125] .
