Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad His Knowledge And Sciences The abundance of Imam al-Jawad’s knowledge and sciences was astonishing and he was indeed the great miracle of Islam. He was skillful in different sciences and arts since he was too young. Scholars, jurisprudents, philosophers and theologians asked him about the deepest and most precise questions and he answered them all.

They were astonished and confused for that and some of them believed in his imamate. It is naturally that there is no justification for this astonishing phenomenon save to believe in the imamate, which is the belief of the Shia that Allah has granted the imams of Ahlul Bayt (a.s) knowledge, wisdom and sound judgment as He has granted His Arch-Prophets and Messengers. Here we shall talk briefly about the sciences, maxims and arts of Imam al-Jawad (a.s).

The Hadith Imam Muhammad al-Jawad (a.s) narrated a group of traditions from the messenger of Allah through the series of his fathers. He also narrated from his grandfathers Imam Ali (a.s) and Imam as-Sadiq (a.s) and from his father Imam ar-Ridha’ (a.s).

His Narrations From The Messenger Of Allah Here are some traditions that he narrated from the Prophet (a.s): He narrated that the messenger of Allah (a.s) had said, ‘Fatima has protected her honor and been abstinent and therefore, Allah has protected her and her progeny from the Fire.’[^1] He narrated from his grandfather Ameerul Mo’mineen (a.s) his saying, “The messenger of Allah (a.s) sent me to Yemen and recommended me by saying, ‘O Ali, he, who asks Allah for proper guidance, will not be disappointed and he, who consults with others, will not regret.

O Ali, march in the darkness because the earth is crossed in the night and not in the day. O Ali, set out early in the morning in the name of Allah because Allah has blessed to my umma the carrying out of deeds in the early morning…’[^2] He narrated that the Prophet (a.s) had said, ‘Whoever blames the time, his blaming will last long.’[^3] He narrated from the Prophet (a.s) his saying, ‘Man is hidden under his tongue.’ ^4 His Narrations From Imam Ali He narrated many traditions from his grandfather Ameerul Mo’mineen (a.s).

For example, he narrated, “Once, a man from Basra got up and said to Ameerul Mo’mineen, ‘Would you tell us about brothers?’ Imam Ali said, ‘Brothers are two kinds; brothers of trust and brothers of smile.
