وُلِدَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لِلنِّصْفِ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ.
وَرُوِيَ أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي رَجَبٍ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ وَمَضَى لارْبَعٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ جُمَادَى الاخِرَةِ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ.
وَرُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قُبِضَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي رَجَبٍ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ وَلَهُ أَحَدٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً وَسِتَّةُ أَشْهُرٍ.
وَأَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً عَلَى الْمَوْلِدِ الاخَرِ الَّذِي رُوِيَ وَكَانَ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ أَشْخَصَهُ مَعَ يَحْيَى بْنِ هَرْثَمَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى سُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى فَتُوُفِّيَ بِهَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَدُفِنَ فِي دَارِهِ وَأُمُّهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا سَمَانَةُ.
