When we finished all of the activities of prayers and he returned me to my place of prayer in Al-Sham and he was about to leave I asked him this: \u2018I swear you to the One Who has given all these capabilities to you, tell me, who are you?\u2019 He said, \u2018I am Mohammed -asws ibn Ali -asws ibn Musa -asws – the 9th Imam .\u2019 The news spread and it reached Mohammed ibn \u2018Abd al-Malik al-Zayyat, He sent his people who arrested me and tied me up in chains and transferred me to Iraq.

This is why I am in prison.\u2019 \n \u2018I (the narrator) then told him to send a petition for his release to Mohammed ibn \u2018Abd AI-Malik. He did so, explaining the whole story, but the answer to his petition said: \u2018He should ask the one who took him from al-Sham to al-Kufa, then to al-Madina then to al-Makkah then back to al-Sham to release him from prison.\u2019 \n I felt very sad for him and tried to cheer him up and asked him to have patience.

Early next morning, when I went to see him, I found people from the army, the chief of the security, the prison guard and a crowd of creatures of Allah -azwj around the area.

I asked, \u2018What is the matter?\u2019 They said, \u2018The prisoner from Al-Sham has disappeared and no one knows if the earth has swallowed him up or if birds have snatched him away.\u2019 [2] \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \u2018Once he -asws (Abu Ja\u2019far Mohammed -asws ibn Ali Al-Reza -asws ) sat down and said, \u2018O Ali, Allah -azwj \u2019s Presentation of Proofs in support of the \u2018Imamat [3] is the same as those in support of the prophet-hood of a Prophet -saww .

Allah -azwj has Said, \u2018 … we gave knowledge and wisdom to John during his childhood.\u2019 (19: 12) \u2018 … When he attained maturity, Allah -azwj Gave him strength, wisdom and knowledge. Thus, do We reward those who do good.\u2019 (12:22) \u2018 When he grew up to manhood and became forty years old .

\u2018 (46:15) Allah -azwj may Give authority to a child and He -azwj may Do so when he is a forty year old man.\u2019 [4] \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \u2018AI-Ma\u2019mun did all he could to prove that Abu Ja\u2019far ( Mohammed -asws ibn Ali Al-Reza -asws ) was only a young man with worldly desires. However, al-Ma\u2019mun could not succeed. When he became frustrated, he gave his daughter in marriage to Abu Ja\u2019far -asws , Mohammed -asws ibn Ali Al-Reza -asws .
