Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books the Life of Imām 'ali Bin Mūsā Al-ridā His Affecting Shiism His affecting Shiism Some historians and researchers believed that al-Ma'mūn adopted the Shi'ite doctrine; they depended on the following: 1. Who taught him Shiism? Before his retinues and companions, al-Ma'mūn declared that he embraced the Shi'ite creed; this has been mentioned in the following tradition: Sufyān b.

Nazār narrated, saying: [On day I was with al-Ma'mūn and he asked his companions:] [1] Subh al-A'shā, vol. 2, p. 420. [2] Al-Tuhaf wa al-Hadāyā, p. 105. [3] Ibid. "Did you know him who taught me Shiism?" "No, by Allah, we did not know him," they all replied. "Al-Rashid did," he retorted. "How did that occur whilst al-Rashid killed the ahl al-Bayt?" they asked. "He killed them for the kingdom," he answered, "for the kingdom is barren. One year I made a pilgrimage along with him.

When he arrived in Medina, he walked toward his visitors and said to them: "'If those from Mecca, Medina, the Muhājireen (migrants), the Ansār (supporters), the Hāshimites, and the rest of the tribes of Quraysh visit me, they should mention their ancestry.' The chamberlains obeyed that. When a man wanted to visit him, he introduced himself to the chamberlains.

When the man visited him (al-Rashid), he gave him as a gift according to his rank and lineage; his gift ranging from two hundred to five thousand dinars." Al-Ma'mūn said: "While I was standing, al-Fadl b. al-Rabi' came in and said: 'O Commander of the faithful, there is a man who claims that he is Mūsā b. Ja'far b. Mohammed b. 'Ali b. al-Husayn b. 'Ali b.

Abū Tālib.' "So al-Rashid walked toward his sons and the rest of his commanders and said to them: 'Keep your own souls.' Then he said to al-Fadl: 'Give him permission to enter and do not (let him stop at any place) except at my own carpet.'" Al-Ma'mūn said: "Then an old man with a yellow face came; worship exhausted him; he was like an old (water) skin; prostration wounded his face and his nose.

When al-Rashid saw him dismounting, he shouted: 'No, by Allah, (he will not dismount) except on my own carpet.' So the chamberlains prevented him from dismounting; and all the people looked at him with honor, admiration, and magnification. The Imām arrived at the carpet; he was surrounded by the chamberlains and the commanders.
