I heard there are narrations about Imam Mahdi’s mother being “Roman” from “Rome” and some scholars say the narration is weak or the story is not true, at the other hand there are a those who say it’s true. Which one is the correct belief and which is the truth? And what does Sayed Khoei say about this?

The narration, from a strictly sanad (chain) perspective, is weak. However, this does not mean that the story is false. When doing historical research of that era, and looking for historical clues, the story is very plausible and quite realistic. The details in the story fit the historical conditions of that time. Hence many scholars have accepted it.

I have not seen anything from Ayatollah Khoei commenting on her.
