Imam Musa al-Kazim
Day 8
The lesson
- Al-Shaykh al-Mufid counts thirty-seven children, eighteen sons and nineteen daughters (al-Irshad), among them Imam al-Rida, Ibrahim, Ahmad, Hamza, Ishaq, Sayyida Fatima al-Ma'suma and Hakima. Imam al-Rida and Fatima al-Ma'suma were born to Najma. His descendants are the Musawi Sayyids.
- Among his companions were Ali ibn Yaqtin, Hisham ibn al-Hakam, Hisham ibn Salim, Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, Hammad ibn Isa, Yunus ibn Abd al-Rahman, Safwan ibn Yahya and Safwan al-Jammal; al-Shaykh al-Tusi counts 272 (Rijal al-Tusi). After his martyrdom some of his agents, Ali ibn Abi Hamza al-Bata'ini, Ziyad ibn Marwan and Uthman ibn Isa, would not accept Imam al-Rida and stopped at him, the Waqifiyya; al-Tusi says the funds they held were the cause (al-Ghayba of al-Tusi).
