Abstract

The internal and external criticism of narrations concerning the relatives and people close to Imam can eliminate some of the historical ambiguities and illuminate a dark spot of the infallible imams’ life. It could be found some fake or factual information regarding Imam Javad’s mother in the historical sources. Following an explanation about the most important concepts utilized in the article, considering names, patronymic, birthplace, and khaizoran’s grave place, it has been endeavored to study three main narrations including the information on this great woman through taking advantage of historical data. These narrations thematically being classified as “the narration on disseminating Salutation to that majestic woman by Imam Kazem PBUH”, “the narration on Imam Javad‘s birth”, as well as “the narration on thought reading” are not much valid in terms of document.  
Nevertheless, some of the contents of the first and the third narrations are deemed to be acceptable due to their consistency with the content of reliable narrations and the other historical evidences.
