Khadija bint Musa al-Kazim

Khadija bint Musa al-Kazim's basic historical identification is as a daughter of Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kazim. In al-Irshad, Shaykh al-Mufid explicitly includes Khadija in a list of thirty-seven sons and daughters of the Imam. The daughters are collectively attributed to several umm walad mothers, but the text does not separately identify Khadija's mother.

Ibn Shahrashub gives a different total for Musa al-Kazim's children in Manaqib Al Abi Talib, yet Khadija again appears among the daughters. In Kashf al-Ghumma, Ali ibn Isa al-Irbili also reproduces al-Mufid's list and includes her name. These independent transmissions provide a serious probable basis for her paternal identity, although the sources continue to disagree over the total number and some names of the Imam's children.

The classical sources used here provide no dependable individual account of Khadija's husband, children, teachers, students, hadith transmission, travels, or public and scholarly office. The protected mother and spouse fields have therefore remained unchanged, and no unverified marriage or descendants have been introduced. Reports belonging to other daughters of Musa al-Kazim or to other Alid women named Khadija have not been transferred to this profile.

Her birth date and birthplace are unknown. She must have been born during the lifetime of Musa al-Kazim, before 183 AH, but no more precise chronological claim can be supported. Her year, age, and circumstances of death are likewise absent from reliable early sources, so the profile does not assign her to a particular migration, journey, or political episode.

A shrine at Agham Kot in Sindh is attributed in later local tradition to Khadija bint Musa al-Kazim under the name Bibi Maham, and some modern reports even assign the year 170 AH to her death. The claim is not corroborated by early family lists, a reliable genealogy, or contemporary historical evidence. Her burial is therefore classified as unknown and the Sindh shrine only as an attributed local site. Her secure historical importance is that of a named daughter in Musa al-Kazim's large family, presented without exceeding the limits of the surviving evidence.
