Virtues
He is the seventh Imam of the Qadiriya tradition of Sufism. His inherent genius and gifted virtues combined with the enlightened guidance and education from Hazrat Imam Jafar showed in the manifestation of his future personality. He was so pious and had such a strong faith in the Almighty, Allah, that at times, people used to come to him, requests him to pray for them. And, the prayer would be accepted by Allah. It was for this that people addressed him as the vestibule of the fulfilment of the prayers. Even after his death, his shrine is taken to be the centre for the fulfilment of all prayers. Hazrat Imam Shafi’i used to say that Hazrat Musa Kazim’s shrine also had that miraculous element in it. So, the prayers to Allah, made at his shrine, used to be granted. His holy father Hazrat Imam Jafar says, “Musa Kazim is the best among my children. It is one of Allah’s gems.” It has written in Sava’aik Moharak etc. that once Caliph Harun Rashid asked him, “When you, yourself are one of Hazrat Ali’s children, why do you call yourself descendent of Rasul-eKhuda? And the relation of a man goes through paternal grandfather and not maternal one. In reply to this, he narrated following Quranic verses(84-85) of Surah Al-Anaam,
He further said that Hazrat Isa did not have a father, and in the following verse, Allah has affiliated him in the chain of Prophets through his mother. In the same way, he added that they also are descendent of Rasul-e-Khuda through their mother. The another argument be
presented for his validation of descendent was that at the event of Mubahala, Allah states, Hazrat Rasulallah Mo’azzam took Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Fatima and Hazrat Hasanain Karimain with him and so on the basis of this verse, it was established that Hazrat Hasnain Karimain was the spiritual descendant of Hazrat Rasul-eA’azam. He said, “We are the descendants of Hazrat Imam Husain,” Caliph Harun was satisfied when he heard this argument. (Masa’alik-ul-Sa’alikin and Fasulul and Sava’alk Moharrak)
