They, however, were called \"Rejectors\" and became so when Zayd ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Husayn marched in Kufa against Caliph Hišām: the followers of ʿAlī asked him about ʾAbū Bakr and ʿUmar, and he wished the two peace and mercy from God. One group rejected him, and so he cried out, \"You rejected me! Rejected me!\" These were called \"the Rejectors.\" Meanwhile, another group allied itself with him, a \"Zaydite\" one, thus called through their identification of themselves with him. Since then, the followers of ʿAlī have thus split up into \"Imamites\" and \"Zaydites\", and the more their deviancy and inventions grow, the more their evil and their harm grow. The Zaydites are far better than the \"Rejectors\": they are more knowledgeable, more truthful, more self-denying, and much braver.",

They, however, were called \"Rejectors\" and became so when Zayd ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Husayn marched in Kufa against Caliph Hišām: the followers of ʿAlī asked him about ʾAbū Bakr and ʿUmar, and he wished the two peace and mercy from God. One group rejected him, and so he cried out, \"You rejected me! Rejected me!\" These were called \"the Rejectors.\" Meanwhile, another group allied itself with him, a \"Zaydite\" one, thus called through their identification of themselves with him. Since then, the followers of ʿAlī have thus split up into \"Imamites\" and \"Zaydites\", and the more their deviancy and inventions grow, the more their evil and their harm grow. The Zaydites are far better than the \"Rejectors\": they are more knowledgeable, more truthful, more self-denying, and much braver.",
