I then said...

I then said, \u2018My master, had I known it could make you -asws this happy I should have come to you -asws running and barefoot with the news (to congratulate you).\u2019 \n The Imam -asws said, \u2018Do you not know what he, may Allah condemn him, once had said to Mohammed -asws ibn Ali -asws , my father?\u2019 I (the narrator) then said, \u2018No, I do not know it.\u2019 The Imam -asws said, \u2018He spoke to my father -asws about an issue and then said to him -asws , \u2018I think you are drunk.\u2019 My father -asws then said, \u2018O Lord, You know that I -asws have been fasting this day, so make him feel the wrath of war and the humiliation of captivity.\u2019 By Allah -azwj , in just a few days his belongings were looted and he was captured.

Now he is dead, may Allah deprive him of His -azwj Mercy. Allah -azwj has Exacted revenge from him and He -azwj Continues to exact revenge for His friends from His -azwj enemies.\u2019\u2019 [7] \n \u2018Once I prayed with Abu Ja\u2019far -asws in the Masjid of al-Musayyib, He -asws led the prayer with us and for the direction of Makkah he -asws stood up facing straight. The Imam -asws also has said that a berry tree that was in the Masjid had dried up and had no leaves.

The Imam -asws asked for water and prepared himself -asws under that tree for prayer. The berry tree came alive with leaves and fruits in that year.\u2019 [8] \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \u2018Imam Al-Reza -asws (8 th Imam -asws ) passed away and owed me four thousand Dirhams. I said to myself, \u2018My money is lost.\u2019 Mohammed Ibn Ali -asws (9 th Imam -asws ) sent me a message to meet him -asws the next day and bring with me a balance and weighing stones.

I went to see him -asws and he said, \u2018(my father) Ali Reza -asws has passed away. Did he -asws owe you four thousand Dirhams?\u2019 I said, \u2018Yes, he -asws did.\u2019 The Imam -asws then lifted up his -asws prayer rug on which he -asws was sitting and there were the Dinars that he -asws gave to me.\u2019\u2019 (The balance and weighing stones were to weigh the money.) [9] \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \u2018Mohammed -asws Ibn Ali -asws was martyred at the age of 25 years, three months and twelve days.

The Imam -asws left this world on a Tuesday on the sixth of Zil-Hajj in A.H. 220.
