 ===Time of Birth===
-Some old sources did not talk about the birth date of Imam al-Mahdi (a), taking it to be a secret.<ref>Muqaddasī, ''Bāzpazhūhī-yi tārīkh'', p. 555; Nawbakhtī, ''Firaq al-Shīʿa'', p. 108-112.</ref> However, many Shiite and some Sunni hadiths take the year of the birth of Twelfth Shiite Imam (a) to be [[255]]/869<ref>Khudāmurād Sulaymān, ''Farhangnāma-yi mahdawīyyat'', p. 192.</ref> or [[256]]/870.<ref>Muqaddasī, ''Bāzpazhūhī-yi tārīkh'', p. 555-569.</ref>

 There is also a disagreement about the month in which the Imam (a) was born. The majority of scholars take it to be [[Sha'ban]] as is evidenced by many old Shiite sources.<ref>Ṣadūq, ''Kamāl al-dīn wa tamām al-niʿma'', vol. 2, p. 424, 430, 432; Kulaynī, ''al-Kāfī'', vol. 1, p. 514; Mufīd, ''al-Irshād'', p. 339.</ref> However, some Shiite<ref>Ṣadūq, ''Kamāl al-dīn wa tamām al-niʿma'', vol. 2, p. 417; Ṭūsī, ''Kitāb al-ghayba'', p. 238.</ref> and Sunni sources<ref>Irbilī, ''Kashf al-ghumma'', vol. 2, p. 437.</ref> take it to be [[Ramadan]], and some Sunni sources<ref>Ibn Khallikān, ''Wafayāt al-aʿyān'', vol. 4, p. 176.</ref> take it to be [[Rabi' I]] or [[Rabi' II]].
-In historical sources, there are different accounts of the day on which the Twelfth Imam (a) was born, the best-known of which is [[Sha'ban 15th]].<ref>Muqaddasī, ''Bāzpazhūhī-yi tārīkh'', p. 597.</ref> This date is reported by Shiite scholars such as [[al-Kulayni]], [[al-Mas'udi]], [[al-Shaykh al-Saduq]], [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]], [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]], [[Fattal al-Nisaburi]], [[al-Tabrisi]], [[Ibn Tawus]], [[Ibn Taqtaqi]], [[al-Allama al-Hilli]], [[al-Shahid al-Awwal]], [[al-Kaf'ami]], and [[al-Shaykh al-Baha'i]], and Sunni scholars such as Ibn Khallakan, Ibn Sabbagh al-Maliki, al-Sha'rani al-Hanafi, and Ibn Tulun. According to other reports, mentioned in al-Saduq's ''[[Kamal al-din]]'', the birthday of the Imam (a) was the eve of the first Thursday of Ramadan or the eve of one of the Thursdays in Ramadan.
