1. Ignorance of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) from his right;
2. The followers of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and the supporters of the School of Ahle Beit should not react and they do not defend their religion and beliefs.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and the caliphate of the caliphs
The stance of Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) against caliphs is one of clear discussions although some try to addle statements and to distort the historial realities with their manipulations because some narrative and historical examples is the witness of screams and objections of Imam Ali ( peace be upon him) toward the selected persons of Saghife . The following text is the best attest for this claimفَلَمَّا تُوُفِّىَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا وَلِىُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) فَجِئْتُمَا تَطْلُبُ مِيرَاثَكَ مِنَ ابْنِ أَخِيكَ وَيَطْلُبُ هَذَا مِيرَاثَ امْرَأَتِهِ مِنْ أَبِيهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) « مَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ ». فَرَأَيْتُمَاهُ كَاذِبًا آثِمًا غَادِرًا خَائِنًا وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُ لَصَادِقٌ بَارٌّ رَاشِدٌ تَابِعٌ لِلْحَقِّ ثُمَّ تُوُفِّىَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَنَا وَلِىُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَوَلِىُّ أَبِى بَكْرٍ فَرَأَيْتُمَانِى كَاذِبًا آثِمًا غَادِرًا خَائِنًا.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and Abbas talked about some matters with Abubakr. One of the most important matters was about the inheritance of the prophet. The narrator of this conversation,Umar Bin Khatab, says
Abubakr said '' I am the successor of the messenger of God. Then both of you (Ali and Abbas) came to him in order to ask for their inheritance. And you (O' Abbas! Abbas asked for the inheritance of his nephew and the inheritance of his wife from her father. Abubakr said '' the messenger of God stated '' we leave nothing as inheritance and whatever is left is as charity. Then you considered both of them a liar, an evildoer, a cheater and a betrayer. But God knows that he is an honest person, the follower of the right path. Then he passed away and I became the successor of the messenger of God and the successor of Abubakr. You consider me a liar, an evildoer, a cheater and a betrayer. But God knows that I am an honest and benevolent person and the follower of the right path.
In this narration, according to the confession of Umar, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) considers the first caliph and the second caliph a liar, the usurper of caliphate and betrayer.
Hence, is it possible to claim that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) did not object and disagree?
Can we find disagreement and objection clearer than this? He refuses to accept all conditions of caliphate that was the way of Sheikhin and he considers their way false and abolished. Taftazani has said in the book '' the explanation of purposes''
ثم جعلوا الاختيار إلى عبدالرحمن بن عوف فأخذ بيد علي رضي الله تعالى عنه وقال تبايعني على كتاب الله وسنة رسول الله وسيرة الشيخين فقال على كتاب الله وسنة رسول الله وأجتهد برأيي ثم قال مثل ذلك لعثمان فأجابه إلى ما دعاه وكرر عليهما ثلاث مرات فأجابا بالجواب الأول فبايع عثمان وبايعه الناس ورضوا بإمامته
He left responsibility to Abd Al-Rahman Bin Uf , took the hand of Imam Ali and said '' do you want to swear allegiance provided that you act to the book of God and the tradition of the prophet and the way of Sheikhin? He answered '' I will accept it according to the book of God, the tradition of the messenger of God and my vote and Ijtehad''. Then he said this condition to Usman and he accepted it. He repeated this matter three times and he gave the first answer. Consequently, he swore allegiance with Usman and the people swore allegiance with him and accepted his Imamate.
Tabari has written in the book '' Tarikh''
ولما خرجت الخوارج من الكوفة أتى عليا أصحابه وشيعته فبايعوه وقالوا نحن أولياء من واليت وأعداء من عاديت فشرط لهم فيه سنة رسول الله فجاءه ربيعة بن أبي شداد الخثعمي وكان شهد معه الجمل وصفين ومعه راية خثعم فقال له بايع على كتاب الله وسنة رسول الله فقال ربيعة على سنة أبي بكر وعمر قال له علي ويلك لو أن أبا بكر وعمر عملا بغير كتاب الله وسنة رسول الله لم يكونا على شيء من الحق فبايعه فنظر إليه علي وقال أما والله لكأني بك وقد نفرت مع هذه الخوارج فقتلت وكأني بك وقد وطئتك الخيل بحوافرها فقتل يوم النهر مع خوارج البصرة.
When Khavarej left Kufe, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) came to the companions and his Shias. They swore allegiance with him and said '' we are friend with everyone that you consider as friend and we are enemy with everyone that you consider as enemy. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) betted that they acted to the tradition of the messenger of God. when Rabie Bin Abushedad had the flag of the tribe of Khasam, he came to Imam Ali ( peace be upon him). he attended in the wars of Jamal and Sefin. Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) said to him '' swear allegiance with the book of God and the tradition of the messenger of God''. He said '' I will swear allegiance with the tradition of Abubakr and Umar''. Imam Ali said to him '' woe you! If Umar and Abubakr act except the tradition of the messenger of God, they will have no right''. He swore allegiance with Imam Ali (peace be upon him). Imam Ali (peace be upon him) looked at him and said '' I can expect that you and Khavarej will take part at the war and you will be killed. I can expect that you will be killed by horse''. Finally he was killed at the Nahravan War with the Khavarej of Basra
Whereas Amir Momenan does not believe in Abubakr and Umar, how do you claim that he swore allegiance with them by all means and he considered them the caliphs of the messenger of God?
The second part of this doubt related to the laxity of the Shias in defending their beliefs and their religious inspirations does not need detailed answer, but we only express '' have the opponents of the religion of Ahle Beit let up and they have given up their impudence, threats, murders, distort and damage so that they will not face to any invasions in return?
Conclusion
Neither did Imam Ali (peace be upon him) ignore his right and nor did the enemies stop invading against the Shias. Hence, it is a meaningless expectation request the Shias not to react.According to the narrations that the Shiite and Sunni scientists have narrated, when the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) requested the people to bring pen and ink to write a book for the public so that they do not go astray, the second caliph prevented from that and he accused the messenger of God of saying nonsense words.
However, why didn't the messenger of God write his will after the people left there and after few days of this story?
the Shiite and Sunni scientists have narrated that after persons that insulted left three, some of the companions that agreed that the prophet wrote this will came to the messenger of God ( peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) and said to him '' would you like me to bring paper sheets to write that book? ''The messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) answered '' would you like me to write this book after you said such remarks, in other words, after you accused me of saying nonsense remarks?
In fact, even if the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) had written this will, the group of opponents would not have accepted it and writing the will did not have any effect because they said '' the prophet of God wrote such remarks when he was saying none sense words and his nonsense remarks have no validity (whether spoken or written).
Sheikh Mofid (may God be well pleased with him) has written in the book '' Al-Ershad''
فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ صلي الله عليه وآله قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَ لَا نَأْتِيكَ بِكَتِفٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَدَوَاةٍ؟ فَقَالَ: أَ بَعْدَ الَّذِي قُلْتُمْ؟ لَا وَ لَكِنَّنِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي خَيْراً.
When the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) felt better, some persons said '' do you let me prepare and pen and ink?'' the prophet said '' do you want me to write after such insults? Do not bring me ink and pen, but I recommend you to behave my Ahle Beit well''.

Among the Sunni scientists, Muhammad Bin Sad in the book '' Al-Tabaghat l-Kobra'' and Shahab Al-Din Noveiri/ in the book '' Nahay Al-Arab'' have written
عن بن عباس قال: اشتكى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم الخميس فجعل ـيعني بن عباسـ يبكي ويقول: يوم الخميس وما يوم الخميس ! اشتد بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وجعه فقال: «ائتوني بدواة وصحيفة أكتب لكم كتابا لا تضلوا بعده أبدا». قال: فقال بعض من كان عنده: إن نبي الله ليهجر. قال: فقيل له: ألا نأتيك بما طلبت؟ قال: أوبعد ماذا؟ قال: فلم يدع به.
It has been narrated from Ibn Abbas that the disease of the messenger of God became worse on Thursday. Ibn Abbas cried regularly and said '' on Thursday ''. which Thursday?'' When the disease of the prophet became worse, he said '' bring ink and paper sheets to write a book so that you do not go astray''. Some of them that attended said '' in fact, the prophet is saying nonsense remarks?'' Ibn Abbas says '' others said '' do we bring what you ordered?'' the messenger of God said '' do you want to bring them after such remarks? ''Then they refused to bring them''..

Hence, insulting nonsense remarks to the prophet of God denies the legitimacy of remarks and behaviors and even the immaculateness of the prophet. Hence, if the prophet had written about the unity of the Islam, it would have been useless and it may have provided the ground of another disagreement and to support the letter and its legitimacy, some of them struggled with persons that insulted…
