An Eye on the Life of Infallibles ('a) 117item Salaam, There is a debate going here between our aalims regarding the topic of Imam Ali. Some are saying that Imam Ali started offering namaz from the beginning as he was born a muslim and others are saying that he started offering namaz when he was 9 years old. What was his age when he started offering namaz and if possible please send a refrence. Thank you. Please provide me details about children of our 11th Imam Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (Peace Be Upon Him). How many sons he had other than our 12th Imam Mahdi ( Peace Be Upon Him). I am very concerned about this matter because many families in India , Pakistan and other countries such as Uzbekiztan claim to be direct descendant of Imam Hassan Askari ( Peace Be Upon Him ). Please provide me guidance in this regard. Assalamu Alaykum, I was once read of some narrations that report that Imam Ali (AS) burned someone for the sin of declaring him as being God. I've been able to find the narration in Bukhari but I believe it was also narrated in Shia books although I'm not able to recall which specific book I read it in. Also, from what I understand burning people is a punishment that is solely reserved for Allah (SWT) and would thus be a sin if committed by a human. Thus with our belief in the infallibility of the Imams, I wish to know if these narrations are legitimate at all and if not, how would it be reconciled with our beliefs. Did Abu Bakr and Umar congratulate to commander of faithful, Ali-pbuh? Mention the poet of Hassaan which is about the virtues of Fatemeh Zahra (pbuh)? Has Fatemeh Zahra (pbuh) argued for Ghadir hadith? Did `Ali ´ibn ´Abi-Talib (a.s.) spend all his life in quest of caliphate? Is there any doubt in this matter that Ali (a.s.) is the most informed? What did `Ayishah say about Ali (a.s.)? What did Abu Bakr ibn Abi Quhafah say about Ali (a.s.)? What outstanding characteristics has the history mentioned about Ali (a.s.)? Would you please mention the ode composed by Amro Aas eulogizing Ali (a.s.) and blaming Moavieh? What is the opinion of Ibne Hazm about the murderer of commander of faithful (pbuh)? Which poetry has been narrated from Hassan ibn Sabet about the virtues of commander of faithful (a.s.)? Did Imam Ali (a.s.) reject the way of life of Shaykhayn? 12345678
