2-2 Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Hussein ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi quoted on the authority of al-Sowly, on the authority of Own ibn Muhammad al-Kendy quoted on the authority of Abul Hassan Ali ibn Maysam - Imam Al-Kadhim’s mother - who was one of the noble Persian ladies called Hamideh, bought a female slave of the Mowalledeh type named Toktam. Toktam was one of the noblest ladies in regards to intelligence, religion and respect for her master and his mother Hamideh. She respected Lady Hamideh so much that she would never sit down in her presence. Then Lady Hamideh told her son - Imam Musa ibn Ja’far (s), “O my son! Toktam is a female slave. I have never seen any female slave better than her. I have no doubt that God will purify any generations from her offspring. Therefore, I will bestow her on you. Treat her with kindness. When she gave birth to Imam Al-Ridha (s), Imam Al-Kadhim (s) called her Taherah.”Then Ali ibn Maysam added, “Imam Al-Ridha (s) drank a lot of milk and was a chubby baby. Then his mother asked for a wet-nurse to breast-feed the baby. She was asked if she had run out of milk. She replied, ‘No, Iswear by God that I have not run out of milk, but since the birth of this baby I cannot attend to my own prayers and supplications.’”Al-Hakim Abu Ali quoted on the authority of al-Sowly, “One proof that the name of Imam Al-Ridha’s mother is Toktam can be found in this poem composed about Imam Al-Ridha (s):The Noble Ali is the best of the people Who has the best father, forefathers and tribe. Toktam gave birth to him Who is the eighth Leader. With his knowledge and patience He will stress God’s covenant with the people.”Al-Sowly said, “And some people have ascribed this to my paternal uncle - Ibrahim ibn Abbas - but no such thing has been narrated for me about him. I neither accept nor will I reject what has been narrated for me or what I have not heard. However, the following poem was undoubtedly composed by my paternal uncle - Ibrahim ibn Abbas:The deeds of just men are just witnesses for their doers. O yes, they have some considerable amount of new wealth That is not at all similar to what they had before. They give you only one percent of your own wealth, Yet they mention it as if they are doing you a favor. Whoever eulogizes your enemies, has not eulogized God. You are nobler than your eighth-generation cousin (al-Ma’mun) Just as your forefathers were nobler than his forefathers.”Al-Sowly said, “I found these verses written in my father’s notebook in his own handwriting. My father used to say that his brother had recited these poems and said that our uncle had composed them about Ali . There is a note in the margin of one of the pages of that notebook stating, ‘What is meant by eighth-generation cousin is Al-Ma’mun, since both Imam Al-Ridha (s) and Al-Ma’mun were eighthgeneration descendants of Abdul Muttalib.”Moreover, Toktam is an Arabic name that is often seen in Arabic poetry. Al-Sowly said, “My uncle - Ibrahim ibn Abbas - had composed a lot of eulogies about Imam Al-Ridha (s). He used to recite them in public. However, he was finally forced to hide them. Later he searched for them and compiled them again.”Some people have narrated that the name of Imam Al-Ridha’s noble mother was Sakan An-Nawbiyeh. She was also called Arwa, Najma, and Somayeh. Her nickname was Ummul Banin.

2-4 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Yaqoob ibn Ishaq, on the authority of Zakariya al-Wasety, on the authority of Hisham bin Ahmed that Abul Hassan the first (Imam Al-Kadhim (s) said, “Do you know anyone from the West who has come here?” I said, “No.” Imam Al-Kadhim (s) said, “Yes, a red man has come here. Let’s go to see him together.” We mounted our horses and rode over to see him. He was a Western man with several slaves. Imam Al-Kadhim (s) said, “Show us your slaves.” The man showed the Imam (s) nine of his female slaves. About each one of them Imam Al-Kadhim (s) said, “I do not need her.” Then he said, “Show us the rest of them.” The man said, “I do not have any more.” TheImam (s) said, “Yes you do. Show them to us. The man swore to God and said, “I swear by God that I do not have any more. There is just an ill female slave left.” The Imam (s) said, “What would happen if you also show her to us?” The man refused and then the Imam (s) left. The next day Imam Al-Kadhim (s) sent me to that man, instructed me to ask him what the last price was for her and to accept whatever price he quoted for her. Then I went to see that man. He said, “I will not sell her for an less than so much.” I said, “O.K. I accept the amount. Here is the money. It is yours.” He said, “O.K. That female slave is ours. But please tell me who the man with you was.” I said, “He is from the Hashemite tribe.” He asked, “Which branch? “I answered, “He is from the noble men of the Hashemite tribe.” The man said, “Please explain more.” I said, “I do not know anymore than this.” Then the man said, “O.K. Let me tell you then. I bought this female slave from one of the farthest towns away in the West.” A woman of the People of the Book saw me and asked me, “What is this female slave doing with you?” I said, “I have bought her for myself.” She said, “It is neither proper nor possible for her to be with people like you. She must live with the best of the people on the Earth. She will give birth to a child after living in their house for a short while to whom all the people of the East and the West will be humble.” Hisham said, “After buying her, I took her to Imam Al-Kadhim (s). Then after a short while, she gave birth to (Imam) Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s). Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluwayh - may God be pleased with him - quoted the same tradition in the same form for me on the authority of his uncle Muhammad ibn Ali al-Qasim, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ali al-Kufi, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Khalid, on the authority of Hisham bin Ahmed.

IsnādMon père m'a informé, qu'Allah soit satisfait de lui, il a dit: Saad ibn Abdallah nous a informé, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, de Al-Hasan ibn Mahboub, de Ya'qoub ibn Ishaq, d'Abu Zakariya Al-Wasiti, de Hisham Al-Ahmar, il a dit: Abu Al-Hasan Al-Awwal, que la paix soit sur lui, a dit: "As-tu vu quelqu'un des habitants du Maghreb venir?" J'ai dit: "Non." Alors il a dit: "Oui, un homme [roux] est venu, viens avec nous le rejoindre." Nous sommes partis avec lui jusqu'à atteindre l'homme, et voici qu'un homme des habitants du Maghreb était avec lui, portant un esclave. Il lui a dit: "Présente-les nous." Il nous a présenté neuf bijoux, à chaque fois Abu Al-Hasan, que la paix soit sur lui, a dit: "Je n'en ai pas besoin." Puis il lui a dit: "Présente-les nous." Il a dit: "Je n'ai rien." Alors il lui a dit: "Oui, présente-les nous." Il a dit: "Non, par Allah, je n'ai qu'une esclave malade." Alors il lui a dit: "Pourquoi ne pas la présenter?" Il a refusé. Ensuite, Abu Al-Hasan, que la paix soit sur lui, s'est retiré. Puis il m'a envoyé le lendemain vers lui, en me disant: "Demande-lui quel est son prix pour elle." Si sa réponse est telle et telle, dis-lui: "Je l'ai achetée." Je suis allé le voir, et il a dit: "Je ne veux pas la vendre pour moins que telle [et telle]." J'ai dit: "Je l'ai achetée et elle est à toi." Il a répondu: "Elle est à toi, mais qui était l'homme qui était avec toi hier?" J'ai dit: "Un homme des Banu Hashim." Il a demandé: "De quel groupe des Banu Hashim?" [J'ai répondu: "De leurs nobles."] Il a dit: "Je veux quelqu'un de plus éminent que lui." J'ai dit: "Je n'ai personne de plus éminent que lui." Il a dit: "Je vais te parler de cette description, je l'ai achetée de l'extrémité des terres du Maghreb, une femme des gens du Livre m'a rencontré et a dit: 'Pourquoi as-tu cette description avec toi?' J'ai répondu: 'Je l'ai achetée pour moi-même.' Elle a dit: 'Cette description ne devrait pas être avec quelqu'un comme toi, cette esclave devrait être avec le meilleur des habitants de la terre, ne reste pas avec lui longtemps jusqu'à ce qu'elle lui donne naissance à un garçon qui dominera l'est et l'ouest de la terre.' Il a dit: 'Tu l'as amenée, et elle n'est pas restée longtemps avec lui avant de lui donner naissance à Ali, que la paix soit sur lui." Et Muhammad ibn Ali Majilouwayh, qu'Allah soit satisfait de lui, m'a informé, il a dit: Mon oncle Muhammad ibn Abi Al-Qasim m'a informé, de Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Kufi, de Muhammad ibn Khalid, de Hisham Al-Ahmar, de même.
