One of the companions of Imam Ali al-Rida (a) says, “I was with al-Rida a when his young son came and Imam Ali al-Rida (a) said: “No child has been born who is a greater blessing for our Shi’a than this child. Even when Imam al-Jawad (a) was a child, his father Imam Ali al-Rida (a) loved him and showed him so much respect that he would call him by his nickname “Abu Jaafar”. For example, he would point to the child and tell his Shi’a “Abu Jaafar is my successor from my family after me.” The Imam (a) was known for his God-given perfections from a very young age.
