Shi‘ites rose as a sign of honoring and magnifying for him. Abu Ja‘far sat on a chair. The people
looked at each other, for the Imam was still young. He was then nine years old. One of the people
asked ‘Abd Allah:
‐May Allah set you right, what is your opinion of a man who fornicates an animal? ‐His right hand
is cut off; and he is flogged the prescribed punishment. When Imam al‐Jewad heard this verdict
that disagreed with Islamic Law, he became angry and said to him: ‐O Uncle, fear Allah. Surely, it is
something so great that on the Resurrection Day you will stand before Allah, the Great and
Almighty, and He will ask you: ‐Why did you give to the people a religious decision without
knowledge? ‐Did your father not say that?
‐My father was asked about a man who exhumed a woman and fornicated her. So my father said:
“His right hand is cut off because of exhuming (the grave), and he is flogged the prescribed
punishment of fornication. That is because the sacredness of the dead woman is similar to that of
a living one.” ‐You are right, my master. I ask Allah’s forgiveness.
The people admired the Imam. They questioned him, and he answered them. This narration
indicate that ‘Abd Allah hastened and made a mistake in the religious verdict, but he showed
remorse and was humble before the Imam. This deed removes from him that criticism and
promote him to the level of (Allah’s) friends and of those Allah‐fearing. Our sources have not
mentioned when and where he died.

15. Al‐Qasim He was a branch of the pure branches of the Imamate and was a gust of the sacred
gusts of the Prophethood. He was the unique of his time in his piety, righteousness, his ordeal,
and his tribulation. We will mention some of his affairs as follows:
A. The Imam loves him Imam Musa, peace be on him, showed great affection and love for his son
al‐Qasim. That is because he came to know that his son was rightly‐guided, righteous, virtuous,
and gifted with unique abilities. He, peace be on him, praised him and preferred him to the rest of
his children except his son Imam al‐Rida, peace be on him. Yazid b. Sulayt narrated, saying: “I
asked Imam Musa, peace be on him, to appoint the Imam after him, and he, peace be on him,
