It is said that 'Ali b. Ja'far is one of the few people who experienced 5 [[Imams]]. [[Al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] has listed him in his father's ([[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]]) companions. According to ''[[Tarikh Qom]]'', which says that he was 2 years old when Imam al-Sadiq (a) was martyred, his direct narration from him remains dubious; unless we accept the opinion of [['Abd Allah al-Mamaqani|al-Mamaqani]], who believes that he was between 16 to 20 years old at that time.

One day [while we were in [[Masjid al-Nabi]] (the mosque of [[the Prophet (s)]] in [[Medina]]) and he was retelling the [[hadith]]s to us Imam al-Jawad (a) entered Masjid al-Nabi, 'Ali b.
