'''Ali al-Rida,''' Abu’L-Hasan B. Musa B. Jaʿfar (d. 203/ 818), is the eighth Imam of the [[Imami]] Shiʿites. In Shiʿite sources he is commonly referred to as Abu’l-Hasan al-Thani in order to distinguish him from his father, Imam [[Musa al-Kazem]], who is known as Abu’l-Hasan al-Awwal. He was born and grew up in Medina. The year of his birth is variously given as 148/765, 151/768, and 153/770. The first date appears least reliable and may have been deduced from a prediction ascribed to his grandfather, who died in that year, that the successor to his son Musa would be born soon. There are indications that ʿAli may have been born as late as 159/775-76, since, according to Yaʿqubi, he died at the age of forty-four and, according to Waqedi, he began rendering fatwas in his twenties. His mother was a slave (omm walad), probably of Nubian origin, whose name is variously given as Toktam, Najma, Shaqraʾ, Shahd, Omm-al-banin, Khayzoran, Sakan, Arwa, or Samman. | '''Ali al-Rida,''' Abu’L-Hasan B.
