Ahmad Al-Bazanty said, ‘And rather he-asws is named as ‘Al-Reza’ because he-asws was pleasing to Allah-azwj the Exalted in His-azwj sky and pleasing to His-azwj Rasool-asws and the Imams-asws after him-saww in His-azwj earth. And it is said, because the adversaries and the friends were pleased with him-asws. And it is said, because Al-Mamoun was pleased with him-asws. And his-asws mother-as is mother of children called ‘Sakan the Nubian’. And it is said, ‘Kheyzuran Al-Marsiya’. And it is said, ‘Najma’, as reported by Meesam. And it is said, ‘Saqr’, and she-as is named as ‘Arwa’ (titled as) ‘Umm Al-Baneen’. And when she-as was blessed with Al-Reza-asws, he-asws named her-as as ‘Tahira’. He-asws was blessed (to his-asws parents-asws) on the day of Friday at Al-Medina. And it is said, the day of Thursday of the eleventh night vacant from Rabbi Al-Awwal of the year one hundred and fifty-three, five years after the expiry of Al-Sadiq-asws, as reported by Ibn Babuwayh. And it is said, the year one hundred and fifty-one. In the years of his-asws Imamate was the remainder of the rule of (Haroun) Al-Rasheed, then Al-Ameen ruled for three years and eight months and a day, and Al-Mamoun ruled for twenty years and twenty-three days. And he (Al-Mamoun) took the allegiance for Al-Reza-asws during his rule with a pact of the Muslims from without agreement during the fifth of the month of Ramazan in the year two hundred and one and got his daughter Umm Habeeb married to him-asws during the beginning of the year two hundred and two. And it is said, the year (two hundred and) three, and on that day he-asws fifty-five years old. And it is mentioned by Ibn Hammam, forty-nine years old and six months. And it is said, and four months. And he-asws stood with the command and there were twenty-nine year and two months for him-asws, and he-asws lived with his-asws father-asws for twenty-nine years and (some) months, and after his-asws father-asws the days of his-asws Imamate were twenty years. And his-asws child is Muhammad-asws the Imam-asws, only, and his-asws Mausoleum is at Toos and Khurasan in the very dome in which is (buried) Haroun to his-asws side from what follows the Qiblah, and it is a house of HUmeyd Bin Qahtaba, in a town called Sanabad from Rustaq Nowqan’’.
