M like Mother!
Although there is not any available, and clearly explicit biography of ImÄm MahdÄ« (mgehr)’s mother, based on the well- known assumption_ from some narrations_ she played the role of a slave who had been captured in the war, in order to join ImÄm AskarÄ« (pbuh)’s respected family at last. [It had been planned before, by ImÄm AskarÄ« (pbuh)’s father; ImÄm HÄdÄ« (pbuh) in order to save her. Then she married ImÄm AskarÄ«, as she had dreamt it in a heavenly dream.]
