Ahmad B. Musa (A.S)

One of Imam Kazem’s sons was Ahmad. In accordance to Mufid’s report in his Irshad, Imam Kazem had a particular attention to Ahmad. Kashi in his famous book called Rijal reports that Ahmad had taken part in great uprising of Mohammad b Ab.raham Tabataba. Some of the sources which deal with the issues of sects and nations such as “fergh Al-shiia Nowbakhti, Maqalatu Al- Islamaieen of Ash’ari and Al- Milal va Al- Nihal of Shahristani” ascribe Ahmadiah sect to the very Ahmad, for some of the Shiites were in belief ofhis leadership after Imam Kazem. In Iran there are two shrines available being ascribed to Ahmad b. Musa (A.S), one of them is in Shiraz and the next in Khorasan. The Shrine located in Shiraz got popular after seventh century and before that there had not existed any shrine by the very name in Shiraz.
