This article is about title of Imam al-Hadi (a). For the character of Imam (a), see Imam Ali b. Muhammad al-Hadi (a).

Naqī (Arabic: النَقي) is one of the renowned titles of Imam al-Hadi (a), the tenth Imam of Shi'a.[1] The term "Naqi" signifies purity and cleanliness.[2] According to al-Shaykh al-Saduq in his book Ilal al-sharayi', the Imam (a) was named "Naqi" due to his cleanliness and the purity of his heart.[3] Additionally, another account suggests that the title was given to Imam al-Hadi (a) to emphasize his immaculateness and infallibility from any genealogical imperfections, as his mother held the status of "umm al-walad" (a slave-concubine who gives birth to her master's child).[4]
