When Imam (a) was living in Baghdad, events happened which promoted the position of Imam (a) among people such as his ruling about thieves. Once there was a disagreement over the question that from where the hand of a thief have to be cut; some said that it needs to be cut from wrist and some said that it needs to be cut from elbow. Mu’tasim, the Abbasid caliph asked Imam al-Jawad (a) to give his opinion in this regard. After caliph insisted, Imam (a) said, “only the fingers of a thief have to be cut and the rest of his hand needs to remain. He referred to the following verse of the Qur’an as his reason, “The places of worship belong to Allah, so do not invoke anyone along with Allah.” (72:18) Mu’tasim liked Imam’s (a) answer and ordered to follow his ruling. | When Imam (a) was living in Baghdad, events happened which promoted the position of Imam (a) among people such as his ruling about thieves.

Like the time of other Imams (a), at the time of Imam al-Jawad (a), there were sects which were active in different fields and tried to promote their thoughts and beliefs in the society and draw away Shia from their authentic beliefs. People of hadith were among such sects who believed in the incarnation of God. To guard authentic Shia beliefs, Imam al-Jawad (a) rejected connection with them and ordered Shia not to pray behind them and do not pay Zakat to them. | Like the time of other Imams (a), at the time of Imam al-Jawad (a), there were sects which were active in different fields and tried to promote their thoughts and beliefs in the society and draw away Shia from their authentic beliefs.
