Imam Al-Hadi

The qualities of Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) were like the qualities of his fathers who were distinguished by them over all people. All elements of honor and dignity met together in him. He possessed all virtues and excellences. It sufficed for him that he was one of the infallible Imams of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) whom Allah had purified and kept uncleanness away from them. Here we shall talk in brief about some attributes of his honorable personality: Imamate Imamate is a kindness from Allah to His

The following narrations are related to the Imam Abul-Hasan Ali bin Mohammed Al-Hadi (peace be upon him) From Ali bin Mohammed: Peace and God’s mercy and blessings be upon you and those who follow the right guidance. I have received your message and known what you mentioned about your disagreement in your religion, taking up the question of fatalism, the various opinions of those who believe in fatalism and those who believe in indeterminism that led you to depart and antagonize each other

Like the other Imams, the knowledge of Imam Ali Naqi (a.s) was also divinely gifted and none had the capacity to excel him in knowledge and virtue. One day poison was administered to Mutawakkil. He made a vow that if he survived he would give a lot of money in charity. When he recovered there was a difference among the scholars regarding what constituted "a lot of money." At last, Mutawakkil sent his slave to Imam Ali Naqi (a.s). He said, "Eighty Dirhams be given in Charity." When Mutawakkil

The social-political life of the Imams (A.S.) is exemplary in the way of feeling responsibility for protecting religion and increasing knowledge. Their stability in the fundamentals of religion in addition to their attention to the current situation of society has allowed researchers and historians to distinguish the similarities and differences in the lives of the Imams (A.S.). Following the martyrdom of Imam Reza (A.S.), the Abbasid Dynasty became more publicly intolerable toward the

Musa bin Mohammed bin Ali Ar-Reza related: I met Yahya bin Aktham in a public meeting and he asked me a number of questions. I then came to my brother Ali bin Mohammed (peace be upon him) who addressed to me several admonitions that made me accede to the obedience to him. Afterwards, I said to him, “God make me your sacrifice. Son of Aktham asked me various questions and sought their answers.” The Imam (peace be upon him) laughed and asked whether I could answer him or not. “No,” answered I

There was a great Shia’h Scholar in the days of our tenth holy Imam al-Hadi (as). Once a Nasibi (a person who curses the Ahlul-Bayt) had a debate with this scholar and the scholar defeated him through Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions. One day this scholar came into a gathering, which consisted mostly of Sayyids and people of Banu Hashim; and Imam al-Hadi (A.S.) was also present. In the centre of that gathering, Imam (A.S.) was seated and there was a huge pillow placed at that spot. As

The author of Ad-Dam’atus- Saakibah has related that: [One day, a non-Muslim, who had committed adultery with a Muslim woman was arrested and presented in the court of Mutawakkil, the Abbasid ruler. As soon as he entered the court, the non-Muslim said, “Do not pass the ruling of punishment for me for I have become a Muslim”. When Yahya bin Aktham, the Chief Justice heard this, he said, “Now that he has become a Muslim, the penalty cannot be enforced upon him”. One of the other scholars who

The Tenth Holy Imam, Ali Al-Hadi (AS) was the first son of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad (AS) and Sayyidah Samana (SA). His father named him after his grandfather, Imam Reza (AS) and his great ancestor Imam Ali (AS). The child was brought up by his father, who taught him the knowledge of the Imamate (leadership) and about the religious sciences. In 243 A.H. (857 A.D.) as a result of certain false charges that were made, Caliph Mutawakkil ordered one of his government officials to invite Imam Hadi

It may be very useful or necessary to study the age of Imam al-Hadi (a.s.) and shed lights on the political, social, religious, cultural, and other sides of that age. Studying an age is one of the methodical researches that is too necessary in the modern studies because it uncovers important sides of the external influences on man and shows his intellectual and all psychological tendencies that arise from his age and environments as psychologists says.
