وُلِدَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ سَنَةِ خَمْسٍ وَتِسْعِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَقُبِضَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) سَنَةَ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ فِي آخِرِ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَشَهْرَيْنِ وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً وَدُفِنَ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي مَقَابِرِ قُرَيْشٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ جَدِّهِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَقَدْ كَانَ الْمُعْتَصِمُ أَشْخَصَهُ إِلَى بَغْدَادَ فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ الَّتِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَأُمُّهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا سَبِيكَةُ نُوبِيَّةٌ وَقِيلَ أَيْضاً إِنَّ اسْمَهَا كَانَ خَيْزُرَانَ وَرُوِيَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مَارِيَةَ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه )
