The Mother of Imam al-Mahdi: An Exposition Into Her Identity

Undoubtedly, research on the mothers of the infallible Imāms (as) is necessary and closely linked to Ahl al-Bayt's biography (as). Not only did their enemies seek to smear and distort the biography of the Holy Imāms (as), but they also worked to do the same to their mothers, whose biographies have been subject to many distortions, alterations, and manipulations.

Perhaps the biography of Lady Narjis (as), the mother of Imām Muḥammad al-Mahdī (aj), is surrounded by significant ambiguity and confusion, as contradictions and differences are ingrained in all the matters related to her such that even the truth of her name is muddled. This led some transgressors to link her with different figures, and some even crossed the lines of decency and attributed to her that which a believer must not mention due to some things narrated about her life.
