With the passage of time a modest but beautiful Mausoleum was built to house the Imam -asws ‘s grave in \u2018Jannat ul Baqi\u2019, near the Holy grave of Rasool Allah -saww . Shamefully, in 1926 A.D., a King -la of Saudi Arabia destroyed the Holy shrine.
\n 4 th Imam -asws was considered the most ascetic person of all times: \n \u2018From Abu Ja\u2019far Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Baqir -asws having said: \u2018Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws used to pray Salat during the day and night, a thousand Cycles, like what Amir Al-Momineen -asws used to do. There were five hundred palm trees for him -asws , and he -asws would pray two cycles Salat at each palm tree.
\n And it was so that whenever he -asws stood in his -asws Salat, his -asws colour would be overcome by another colour, and his -asws standing in his -asws Salat was standing of the humble slave in front of the Majestic King. His -asws limbs would tremble from the fear of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, and he -asws would pray the farewell Salat viewing that he -asws will not be praying after it, ever.
\n And one day he -asws was praying Salat, and the cloak fell off from one of his -asws shoulders. He -asws did not even it until he -asws was free from his -asws Salat. One of his -asws companions asked him -asws about that. He -asws said: \u2018Woe be unto you! Don\u2019t you know in front of Whom I -asws was? The servant, it will not be Accepted from his Salat except what he is attentive upon it by his heart, from it\u2019.
\n The man said, \u2018We are destroyed!\u2019 He -asws said: \u2018Never! Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would be Completing that with the optional Salats\u2019. \n And he -asws would go out during the dark night and carry the sack upon his -asws back, and in it would be the seed and the Dinars and the Dirhams, and sometimes he -asws would carry the good, or the firewood, until he -asws would come to a door and knock it. Then he -asws would give to the one who comes out to him -asws .
And he -asws used to cover his -asws face when giving to a poor lest he recognises him -asws . When he -asws passed away, they lost that, then they knew it was Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws . When he -asws was placed to the washers, they looked at his -asws back, and upon him -asws were like the marks of the camels, due to what he -asws was carrying upon his -asws back to the houses of the poor and the destitute(s). \n And one day he -asws went out, and upon him -asws was a woollen coat.
