Idle talking and joking is a character of the unwise and the feature of the ignorant
Imam Naqi (A)
Excerpt from 'The Life of Imam 'Ali al-Hadi, Study and Analysis':
‘Ali al-Hadi (a.s.) was born in Siriya in Yathrib (Medina) and by this birth the world was delighted. No one had ever been born in that age more pious, more devoted, or more knowledgeable than him. He inherited all qualities of good, honor, and nobility.
Imam al-Jawad (a.s.) performed the special rituals for his blessed newborn son. He performed Azan in his right ear and Iqama in the left, circumcised him on the seventh day after the birth, cut the hair of his head, gave silver, as much as the weight of the hair, to the poor, and slaughtered a ram as aqiqa, as it was the norm for the Imams of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) to do with their children when they were born.
