He was born in Rajab on April 8, 811/April 8, 811 in Medina and was an imam for 17 years. He was the youngest imam when he was 25 years old.
Muhammad b. ‘Arib. Musa b. Ja’far b. Muhammad is the ninth imam of Twelver Shi’a, known as Al Jawad and Jawad Al Ayaima. His father, Imam al-Rida (A), was the eighth Imam of Twelver Shia.
He became an imam at the age of eight and was poisoned at the age of 20. However, his literary achievements were much.
His hereditary nature consisted of gallantry, boldness, charity, learning, forgiveness, and tolerance. The brightest and most prominent stage of his nature and character was to show hospitality and courtesy to all without discrimination and to help the poor. Observing equality in all circumstances and living a simple life. Poor people and homeless people to help orphans. To convey learning to those interested in acquiring knowledge and guide people on the right path.
The Imamate of Imam al-Jawad (a) was of the same era as the two Abbasid caliphs. The first was Almamun, and Imam spent 23 years as a caliph. The second was Al Mutasim al-Abubashi, whose two years of his caliphate were modern with Imamet of Imam al-Jawad.
By appointing agents from various regions of the Islamic world, Imam al-Jawad (a) was connected to Sheeus.
There were several reasons why he (a) had no direct connection with Thea and benefited from the agent. One was that the Imam (a) was under the serious surveillance and control of the ruling government, and the other was that they wanted to prepare for the potential of Imam al-Madi (a).
Also, the connection between Shia and the Imam (a) was to send a letter. Many of the teachings left behind by Imam al-Jawad (a) are described in his letters.
In their letters, Shias mentioned their question, which was primarily a legal issue, and the Imam (a) answered. In most cases, the name of the person who wrote the letter to Imam (a) is mentioned, and the name of the author is not mentioned.
Many merits and virtues have been reported in Imam al-Jawad (a). His superiority in discussions with scholars and academic debates in his childhood is one of these mentioned virtues.
Imam al-Jawad said, “There have been some discussions with the fiqh scholars of the courts of Abbasid. Historical reports suggest that some of these discussions were made according to the requirements of the courts of Al Mamun and Al Mutashim who wanted to test Imam al-Jawad (a), and the results surprised those present in those sessions.
Approximately 250 hadiths will be sent from Imam al-Jawad (a). These hadiths are about topics of jurisprudence, interpretation of the Quran, pleading and theology.
The small number of hadiths sent from Imam al-Jawad compared to other Imam hadiths is due to his younger age at the time of Imam al-Jawad’s surveillance and martialism.
Several sources considered the title of “al-jawad” (generous) given to the Imam (a)
After Al Mamun’s death, when Al Mutashim ascended to the throne, he had the opportunity to persecute Imam and evil intentions. He summoned the Imam to Baghdad. Imam arrived in Baghdad at the ninth Muharram 220 AH and Almumuttasim, poisoning him in the same year.
He lay down to rest in Kadhimiya, next to the tomb of his grandfather Musa B. Ja’far (a).
