I did not find any evidence supporting the claim that Imam Musa Al-Kadhim's daughter was married to a prince of Azerbaijan, nor any evidence of any son of Imam Ali Al-Ridha (AS) buried in Azerbaijan.

Those who claim that should give their evidence if they have any.

Azerbaijan . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib

Why did Imam Ali allow Ash’ath ibn Qays to continue as governor of Azerbaijan when he may have known that he was deceiving the Imam?

Al-Ash'ath Ibn Qays was appointed by Uthman Ibn Affan as a governor of Azerbaijan. Imam Ali (AS) kept him on his job but directed him to be pious and honest in dealing with the wealth which he receives. When Al-Ash'ath insisted on doing wrong and misusing the wealth of the Muslims, Imam Ali (AS) fired him.
