Many sources tell the story of Imam Hādī, reciting poem in the court of Al-Mutawakkil.. This paper aims to provide evidence and reasoning suggesting that the individual who performed the poem in Al-Mutawakkil's gathering was not Imam ‘Alī ibn Muḥammad al-Hādī, the tenth Imam of the Shi'a. Instead, it was ‘Alī ibn Muḥammad al-‘Alawī al-Ḥimmānī, a prominent Shi'a poet and the Shi'a community's leader (naqīb) of his time. By analysing both internal and external evidence, this article concludes that the common attribution of this poem recitation to Imam Hādī (p.b.u.h) is erroneous. The article examines studies on narrators and biographical accounts. It also reviews pertinent Hadith and historical data. Additionally, the article scrutinizes manuscripts and evaluates specific literary works.
