Imamate is one of the fundamental Islamic principles that many other principles are explained in the light of it. Just as the difference in the Imamate as a fundamental principle has caused some of the Islamic cults, differences in the attributes of the Imam have caused cults such as the Imamiyyah and Zaydiyah in the Shiite. Attributes such as armed uprising, infallibility, superiority, science, Imam's ancestry, and puberty are the most important differences between Imamiyyah and Zaydiyah. In this research, by using a rational method, revelation and historical narration is proven that Imamiyyah emphasizes on the unnecessity of the armed uprising of the Imam in any situation, and due to the infallibility and knowledge of the Imam, the consciousness and action of the uprising is up to the Imam. The absence of genuine Ansar, the fixed principle of preserving Islam and the right of the people, not personal rights, are the most important reasons for some Imams not to rise. But Zaydieh insists on the necessity of the Imam's armed uprising in any situation
