Naqvi
The Naqvis are a Sayyid clan, found predominantly in Iran, Iraq, and the South Asian countries. They claim descent from the Imam Ali al-Hadi, who is also known as 'Naqi' and the Tenth Imam, and through him they trace their lineage to the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his younger grandson Husayn ibn Ali.
Lineage
There are differing opinions about the number of sons of Imam Ali al-Naqi. The statement of 7 sons has been made by Ayatullah Syed Basheer Hussain, compiler of the book Shajrate Saddate Amroha, who lists:
- Al-Hasan al-'Askarī and his brothers:
- Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hadi
- Husayn
- 'Abdullāh
- Zayd
- Mūsā
- Ja'far ibn 'Ali al-Hādi , also known as Ja'far al-Zaki or Ja'far Ath-Thāni.
These seven names have also been referenced in the book Anwar-e-Alsadat. In addition, there are at least two people whose hand-written pedigree from the beginning (Imam Naqi) to the end have been accepted. These pedigrees confirm the sons of Imam Ali Naqi Al Hadi as seven in number.[1]
Besides Al-Hasan Al-'Askarī, three of the sons, Husayn, Muhammad and Ja'far, and one daughter named 'Ayliyā' from different wives have been mentioned by various scholars, including Shaikh Mufeed.[2][3][4][5]
