منها: أنه لو كان إماما مقطوعا على عصمته لوجب أن يكون منصوصا عليه نصا صريحا لأن العصمة لا تعلم إلا بالنص، وهم لا يدعون نصا صريحا (عليه) وإنما يتعلقون بأمور ضعيفة دخلت عليهم فيها شبهة لا تدل على النص، نحو إعطاء أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام إياه الراية يوم البصرة، وقوله له "أنت ابني حقا" مع كون الحسن والحسين عليهما السلام ابنيه وليس في ذلك دلالة على إمامته على وجه، وإنما يدل على فضيلته ومنزلته.
One is that if he were an Imam with ascertained infallibility, there must be explicit statements by the Messenger of Allah (s) and Amirul Momineen, Imam Ali Ibne Abi Talib  about him, because infallibility can only be determined through the statement of another infallible entity. However, the Kaisaniyya do not claim an explicit tradition with this regard. Instead, they rely on weak instances, which have led them to confusion, but are far from being explicit words. One is that Amirul Momineen  granted him the standard on the battle of the Camel in Basra, and his saying, “You are truly my son,” while Hasan and Husain  were also his sons. These instances do not establish his Imamate in any way, and rather, indicate his excellence and high position.
