Imam Muhammad b. Ali al-Jawad (a): Difference between revisions

Imam al-Jawad's (a) scientific dialogues and debates at the time of the government of Ma'mun and Mu'tasim which solved many scientific problems and issues in Fiqh made Islamic scholars and researchers including Shi'a and Sunni ones surprised so that many of them considered Imam (a) distinguished and praised him, some cases of which are mentioned below:

Sibt b. al-Jawzi said, "He followed his father's approach in knowledge, piety and generosity.

Ibn Hijr Haythami wrote, "Ma'mun chose him to become his son-in-law because even with being young, he was superior to all scholars in knowledge and forbearance."

Fatal al-Nayshaburi said, "Ma'mun became fond of him (Imam al-Jawad (a)) because he saw that even though he was young, he had reached such a great position in knowledge, wisdom, manner and intellectual perfection that none of the great scholars of that time had ever reached."

The [[Mu'tazilite]] Jahiz 'Uthman who was among opposers of the family of [['Ali (a)]] has mentioned Imam al-Jawad (a) among 10 Talibids (family of [[Abu Talib]]) about whom he has said, "every one of them is knowledgeable, pious, worshiping, brave, generous, pure with pure origin."
