۞
Abū al-Ḥasan Mūsā (AS) was born in Al-Abwāʾ in the year 128 AH, though some say it was 129 AH. He passed away on the 6th of Rajab in the year 183 AH at the age of either 54 or 55. He (AS) died in Baghdad while imprisoned by Al-Sindī ibn Shāhak.
Hārūn (Al-Rashīd) had him brought from Medina on the 20th of Shawwāl in 179 AH. Hārūn had entered Medina after performing the ʿUmrah of the month Ramadan, then proceeded to the Ḥajj, taking Mūsā (AS) with him. On his return via the route of Basra, he imprisoned him with ʿĪsā ibn Jaʿfar. Later, he sent him to Baghdad, where he was imprisoned by Al-Sindī ibn Shāhak.
Mūsā (AS) passed away in that prison and was buried in Baghdad in the Quraysh cemetery. His mother was Umm Walad, she was named as Ḥamīda.
وُلِدَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بِالابْوَاءِ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَقُبِضَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لِسِتٍّ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ رَجَبٍ مِنْ سَنَةِ ثَلاثٍ وَثَمَانِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَرْبَعٍ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً وَقُبِضَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بِبَغْدَادَ فِي حَبْسِ السِّنْدِيِّ بْنِ شَاهَكَ وَكَانَ هَارُونُ حَمَلَهُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لِعَشْرِ لَيَالٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَقَدْ قَدِمَ هَارُونُ الْمَدِينَةَ مُنْصَرَفَهُ مِنْ عُمْرَةِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ شَخَصَ هَارُونُ إِلَى الْحَجِّ وَحَمَلَهُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَحَبَسَهُ عِنْدَ عِيسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ثُمَّ أَشْخَصَهُ إِلَى بَغْدَادَ فَحَبَسَهُ عِنْدَ السِّنْدِيِّ بْنِ شَاهَكَ فَتُوُفِّيَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي حَبْسِهِ وَدُفِنَ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي مَقْبَرَةِ قُرَيْشٍ وَأُمُّهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا حَمِيدَةُ.
