1 - حَدَّثَنا الْحاكِمُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أحْمَدَ الْبِيْهَقِيُّ فِي دارِهِ بِنِيْسابُورَ فِي سَنَةِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ و خَمْسِينَ وَثَلاثِمِائَةٍ و قالَ: أَخْبَرنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الصُّوليُّ قِراءَةً عَلَيْهِ قالَ: أَبُو الحَسَن الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِب عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ وَاُمُّهُ اُمُّ وَلَدٍ تُسَمّى تُكْتَمُ، عَلَيْهِ اسْتَقَرَّ اِسْمُها حِينَ مَلَكَها أَبُو الحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ.

Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn b. Ahmad al-Bayhaqi narrated to us from his home in Nishapur in the year 235 AH, that Muhammad b. Yahya al-Suli informed us through writing: Abul Hassan al-Ridha is Ali b. Musa b. Ja’far b. Muhammad b. Ali b. al-Husayn b. Abi Talib . His mother was a slave-girl named Tuktam. She was named Tuktam when Abul Hassan Musa b. Ja’far became her master (i.e. husband).
