Al-Husayn’s son Ahmad was a prominent supporter of Imam al-Mansur bi’llah al-Qasim bin Muhammad (ancestor of the 20th century Imams) in his campaigns against the Ottomans who had invaded and occupied much of Yemen in the 16th century.

This shows the serious implications of believing that the appointment of 'Ali was only implicit; it would mean that the blame of whatever happened after the Prophet's death on the issue of succession is to be placed on the Prophet himself, and not on the caliphs.
When 'Ali and the Banu Hashim were busy in the funeral rites of the Prophet, a person comes to their door and offers his help for caliphate.
'Ali bin Abi Talib knew that Abu Sufyan was not sincere, that he was just trying to take advantage of the conflict on the issue of succession after the Prophet.

 Obituary: Sayyid Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Shami (1924–2005)
Sayyid Ahmad was born on 1 January 1924 in Dhala’ which was then occupied by Zaydi forces and formed part of the border province governed by his father Qadhi Muhammad al-Shami.
After the British reasserted their control of the area, the al-Shami family moved to Sana’a, where from the early 1930s Ahmad was a pupil at the al-Fulayhi mosque/madrasa under al-Ustadh Muhammad Ali al-Nu’mani.
As a youth al-Shami became critical of what he perceived as the obscurantist policies of Imam Yahya, and, in common with many other Yemenis of his generation and reformist outlook, pinned his hopes on Crown Prince Ahmad, then Governor of Ta’izz, as the man who could bring about change for the better.

 Appointment of 'Ali: Explicit or Implicit?
Although they believe that 'Ali was the best and the most qualified for caliphate, they still accept Abu Bakr and 'Umar ibn al-Khattãb as the first and the second successors of the Prophet respectfully; but they do not accept 'Uthmãn bin 'Affãn as the third caliph.
'Ali bin Abi Tãlib knew that Abu Sufyãn was not sincere, that he was just trying to take advantage of the conflict on the issue of succession after the Prophet.
The learned Shí'a scholar wrote: "It is also because of this absence of explicit statement on these occasions that Imam 'Ali never used any of these occasions, including al-Ghadir, to put forward his candidacy as the only rightful successor of the Prophet."[70] This is indeed a novel way of looking at the conflict of caliphate.
