Frasi di Ja'far al-Sadiq

Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq, ossia Abū ʿAbd Allāh Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī , è stato il sesto Imam sciita duodecimano, ismailita e alawita/Mustaʿlī, nonché quinto Imam Nizārī.

Figlio di Muhammad al-Baqir e di Umm Farwa , nacque a Medina il 20 aprile del 702 e morì nella medesima città il 14 dicembre del 765. È inumato nel cimitero cittadino del Baqiʿ al-Gharqad. Il suo Imamato durò per 31 anni, dal 734 al 765.

Il suo laqab di al-Ṣādiq gli venne dalla sua facile profezia che una rivolta alide contro gli Omayyadi, affidata alla debole guida del suo parente Ibn ʿAbd Allāh, detto "al-Nafs al-Zakiyya", sarebbe inevitabilmente fallito.

Sposò Hamīda al-Barbariyya, e tra i suoi figli figurano:

“When a man asked him whether God coerced his bondsmen to sin. Al-Sadiq replied "Allah is more just than to make them commit misdeeds then chastise them for what they have done." The man further asked, "Has he empowered them with their actions?" al-Sadiq said, "If He had delegated it to them, He would have not confined them to enjoining good and forbidding evil."
