Ibn al-Riḍā (Arabic: ابن الرضا) (literally, the son of Rida) is a title for male descendants of Imam al-Rida (a), the most famous of whom were Imam al-Jawad (a),[1] Imam al-Hadi (a)[2] and Imam Hasan al-'Askari (a).[3] Musa al-Mubarqa', the son of Imam al-Jawad (a) was also among those who was called Ibn al-Rida.[4] This title was used by the companions of Imams (a) and others especially Banu 'Abbas.[5]

About the reason of using this title, some have said that Banu 'Abbas called descendants of Imam al-Rida (a), "Ibn al-Rida" to show that these people were attributed to a person who had accepted crown princeship and had a tendency toward the material world.[6] Another reason for the prevalence of this title was that the reputation of Imam al-Rida (a) for his scholarly debates with theological and religious sects among other denominations made his descendants be known as "Ibn al-Rida".[7]
