Very shortly thereafter the she-camel came out of the stable and reached the grave of my father -asws , placed her neck on it, rolled her body on the ground and her eyes were hooded with tears.\u2019 \n The Imam -asws has said: \u2018Imam Ali -asws Ibn Al-Hussain -asws used to come out in the dark at night with a sack containing Darahim and Dananir (these were units of money) and would go door-to-door, knock on them and gave a certain amount to the person who came out.

When Imam Ali -asws Ibn Al-Hussain -asws passed away, these people did not see the person with money anymore.

Only then (did) they realise that Imam Ali -asws Ibn Al-Hussain -asws must have been the distributor of money among them.\u2019 [4] \n Abu Al-Hassan -asws (7 th Imam -asws \u2013 Imam Musa-e-Kazim -asws ) says: \u2018When Imam Ali -asws Ibn Al-Hussain -asws was about to leave this world,\u00a0 he -asws closed his -asws eyes, then he -asws opened his eyes and recited Chapters 48 \u2018Al-Fath\u2019 and 56 \u2018Al-Waaqia\u2019 from the Holy Quran and said: \u201cAll praise belongs to Allah -azwj Who has Fulfilled His -azwj promise to us -asws and made us -asws to have the Earth as our -asws legacy and choose from Paradise whatever we -asws might like.

Thus, is the reward for those who work (hard).\u201d At that time his -asws (soul) ascended to the (Heavens) and (the Imam) did not say anything further.\u2019 [5] \n Our Sixth Imam -asws says: \u2018Imam Ali -asws Ibn Hussain -asws (Imam Sajjad -asws ) cried over his father, Imam Hussain -asws Ibn Ali -asws for forty years \u2013 and whenever food was brought to him, he would cry over Imam Hussain -asws .

One day his -asws servant said to him: \u201cMay I sacrifice myself for you -asws , O son of Rasool Allah -asws !\u00a0 I am afraid that you -asws may die (from grief).\u201d He (the Imam Sajjad -asws ) replied: \u201c I only complain of my distress and grief to Allah, and I know from Allah what you do not know (12:86) [6] .\u00a0 Verily whenever I -asws remember the killing of the children of Syeda Fatimah -asws , I -asws am choked with tears over them -asws .\u201d\u2019 [7] \n Imam -asws was poisoned by the governor of Medina by the instructions of the Muslim ruler Walid -la bin Abdul Malik -la .

The Imam -asws met martyrdom on the 25th of Muharram 95 A.H. (713 A.D) and was buried in Medina.
