Does Imam Sajjad (AS) have the Kunya Abu Bakr? If so, how did he acquire this Kunya? Was it due to a particular reason, such as an affinity for camels? Additionally, are there any scholars who dispute this claim?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We don't have any authentic source to suggest that Imam Al-Sajjad had such Kenya at all. He had four Kenya's; Abul Hasan, Abul Husain, Abu Muhammad and Abu Abdillah.

What are the accurate dates of birth for Imam Sajjad (as) and Bibi Zainab (sa), considering that two different dates are often cited for each? Which dates are deemed the most reliable?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

According to many authentic sources, the date of birth of Imam Al-Sajjad (AS) is 5th of Shaban, and the date of birth of Bibi Zainab is 5th of Jumada Al-Ola.

Usually you might find in some books other narrations.

Is it true that the Imam Zayn al-'Abidin (AS) pledged allegiance to Yazid and that it is mentioned in Usul-al-Kafi?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No, it is untrue. Imam Zainul Abudeen (AS) never pledged allegiance to Yazid or any wrongdoer. None of our Infallible Imams pledged allegiance to any wrongdoer.

I have read that in the Monday dua of Imam Sajjad (as) it reads that there was no witness when Allah created the heavens and Earth. If the Noor of the Prophet (s) and Ahlulbayt (a) had already been created, would they not have been witnesses?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah The Exalted Has Created the Noor of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) with out any witness. They were the first creatures. Creating these most sacred servants of Allah (SWT) is the start of the creation of the heavens and earth and took place with out any witness.

‘Wassalam.
