\n She said, \u2018I informed (Imam) Ali -asws of their talk. He -asws said: \u2018 Surely, those pledging allegiance to you are rather pledging their allegiances to Allah, the Hand of Allah being Above their hands. So, the one who breaks, is rather breaking against himself, and the one who fulfils with what Allah Covenanted upon him, would be Given a Mighty Recompense [48:10].

\u2019\u2019 [3] \n Against the above background, we ask a question here: did any of the Imams -asws pledge allegiance to the rulers of their -asws time? Of course not, \u2013 however, when those rulers claimed that an Imam -asws had pledged allegiance to them, the Imam -asws remained indifferent and did not prefer to deny the false claims.
