🧵“Mawālī and the Prophet’s Family” is the title of an article by the late Patricia Crone. One of the main attractions that drew the mawālī (early non-Arab converts) to Shīʿīsm is the historical memory of ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib as the egalitarian Caliph par-excellence.

A Unique “Anti-Slaver” Prophetic Report in the Imāmī Corpus 🧵 Isḥāq b. ʿAmmār reports that he entered in to meet Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq and informed him that a boy was born to him. Jaʿfar says: “Did you not name him Muḥammad?” Isḥāq says: “I did.” Jaʿfar says: “Then do not hit
