Because Imam al-Jawad was an 8 year old child, some Shi'a followed [['Abd Allah b. Musa]] and some others followed [[Waqifids]]. But most Shi'a accepted the [[imamate]] of Imam al-Jawad (a) due to his scientific superiority in spite of his age. At that time, due to restrictions made for Imam (a), his connections with Shi'a were mostly made through agents.
