Pearl of Wisdom

Ali b. Hassan al-Wasiti, known as al-'Amsh, narrated, 'I brought an item to him from Isfahan made of silver, in order to present it to my master Abu Ja'far [al-Jawad]. When the people left his company after he had answered all their questions, he stood up and left. I followed him and met a helper of his from whom I requested to seek permission to see Abu Ja'far. I entered and saluted him, and he returned my salutation with signs of dislike on his face. He did not come to sit down, so I approached him and emptied all that was in my sleeve before him. He looked at me in anger, then he looked to the right and left and said, 'Allah has not created me for this, what has play got to do with me?' I asked him to forgive me. He forgave me and then I took the things and left.'

Question: Does our final Imam currently have a wife and children and where does he reside?
Answer: Salaam alaykum,

There is a difference of opinion regarding whether or not the Imam has a wife and children. The prominent view is that it is unknown whether or not he does. There is a fringe opinion amongst the scholars which states that he does have a wife and progeny.

I do not know where he resides. If I knew I would be there insha'Allah.
