Clément Huart has theorized this sect was linked to Manichaeism due to its syncretic nature.{{cite book |last1=Huart |first1=Clement |title=A history of Arabic literature |date=1966 |publisher=Khayats |pages=478 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_yAOAAAAYAAJ&q=a%20historic%20arabic%20huart%20clement |access-date=9 October 2021}} According to Khalid Basalamah, the sect was regarded as heretical by the official Eastern Orthodox Church of the Byzantine Empire, so Adi practiced it in secrecy, fearing persecution from his Byzantine overlord.{{cite web |last1=al-Basalamah |first1=Khalid Abdullah Zeed |title=Sirah Nabawiyyah |url=https://www.khbofficial.com/video |website=KhB Official |publisher=KhB Official |access-date=9 October 2021 |archive-date=3 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200203212013/https://www.khbofficial.com/video |url-status=dead }}
