His birth to the noble Prophet’s Household was a source of joy to the family, as the personalities of the two grandsons of the Prophet (i.e., al-Hasan and al-Husain) combined in him. In Shia Islam, Muhammad ibn Ali was the fifth Imam, succeeding his father, Imam Ali al-Sajjad, and succeeded by his son, Ja’far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon them).
His Lineage His father was the best of all the Muslim figures in jurisprudence, knowledge, and religious piety, the Chief of the prostrators (Al-Sajjad), the ornament of the worshipers (Zayn al-Abidin), the fourth Shia Imam;Imam Ali Zayn al-Abideen , the son of the third Imam; Imam Husain, the son of the successor and the vicegerent of the Messenger of God who was the first Imam; ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon them).
The mother of Imam Baqir was a pure chaste woman; Fatimah, the daughter of Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba. She was given the teknonym of Umm ‘Abd Allah (the mother of ‘Abd Allah) [1] . She was among the Hashimite women. Imam Zayn al-‘Abideen, peace be on him, called her al-Siddiqa (the very truthful one) [2] . While describing her unique personality Ja’far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him) said: “She was very truthful.
No one in the family of al-Hasan looked like her [3] .” Hence, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir was the first person who was a Fāṭīmī [a descendant of Lady Fatimah az-Zahra ] and an ‘Alawī [a descendant of Ali ibn Abi Talib] from both the paternal and maternal sides. Therefore, Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir is called Hashimite among Hashimites, ‘Alawī among ‘Alawīs, and Fāṭīmī among Fāṭīmīs.
