Abstract:
The rebellious Zaid Ibin Ali Ibin Abi Talib (peace upon him) is a distinguished figure of family bloodline of the prophet Muhammed, one of the famous scholars, grand Islamic Jurisprudent and one of the prophet household advocates. He gained many glorified titles form the infallible Imams (peace be upon them) and Bani - Hashem (Hashem household), i.e. the ally of al - Quran, the martyr, and Aba Al Hussain. Such titles would not be given to a person unless he is knowledgeable, revered and respected. This study has come up with following conclusion : The categorized references of North Africa and Andalusia did not address all the events which Nation of Islam went through within the period precede the uprising of Zaid Bin Ali (peace upon them) as well as the following events. Moreover, those references did not address Zaid’s uprising neutrally as most of them quoted from the Orientalist books which quoted from the alliances of the ruler who were not in favor of the oppressed Islamic peoples and the leader of its revolution. Most of those resources were written based on the inclinations of the rulers during the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates. Therefore, it could be said that these references are biased. Zaid’s life, his name and place of his crucifixion and all related details are known by the Imams (peace be upon them) through the prophetic hadiths narrated by many people as the prophet was told by Angel Gabriel who told the prophet what will be happened to Zaid. The date of Zaid’s birth is a controversial issue among historians as they fail to recognize its accurate date as we have two opinions; the first stated that al - Mukhtar al - Thaqafi has gifted Imam al - Sajjad )zaid’s father) a captive brought from Sindh and al Sajjad married her (who will be Zaid’s mother later). Therefore, if we take into account zaid’s birth is between (66 - 68 H/686 - 688 AD) and Abu Hamza al - Thumalis opinion as he stated that the Imam al - Sajjad consummated the marriage with her at the same night she was brought to him and she came pregnant ever since, we can conclude that his age when met martyrdom was 42 years. Zaid (peace upon him) was “the caller to Allah, the pious, Mujahid who struggles for the Sake of Allah, the Imam of the prophetic household”, his brother Muhammed al - Bakir said. In addition, he was one of the main sources of religion and jurisprudence as he was famous of educational, scientific, and humanitarian knowledge and that made him the best among his peers. Historians and scholars of different Islamic sects benefited from the knowledge of Zaid Bin Ali and they were able to recognize the extrapolated provisions and true prophetic hadiths. This is not strange as Zaid raised in the prophetic house which is the source of knowledge. The persons who taught by the prophet progeny become great Islamic scholars. Zaid has been taught by al Sajjad and al Baqir and al Sadeq (peace be upon them) not by Wasil ibn Ata the founder of Mutazilite School as alleged. The study revealed the good relation between Zaid (peace be upon him) and the infallible Imams (peace be upon them) through the hadiths and teachings attributed to them which he referred to repeatedly. The narrations indicated that Zaid’s holly head was taken from al Sham to al Medina, then transferred to Egypt at the same year he met martyrdom in contrary to the allegations which stated that the holly head wasn’t taken to al Medina. In addition, the study shows that the holy head is buried in Egypt in the Masjid which is known as Zain al Abedeen Masjid, this Masjid was named Mehres Al Khesy Masjid. As for the shrine located in Iraq between al Kefl and al Qasem sub district which is known as Zaid Ibin Ali Ibn al Hussein, it is not the resting place but it’s the place of crucifixion as Umayyad burnt his body, crashed, and scattered it in Euphrates and farms. Finally, the results of this study may not be final as this modest study and any scholar might not be able to cover all the aspects of this great character. Nevertheless, I hope that I was successful in my endeavor and providing a study benefiting whoever seeks information on the life and strife and knowledge of rebellion Zaid. Our last call is praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds and God blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his purified progeny
