One could undoubtedly realize the greatness of the Imam (pbuh), and his high status in the world of Islam, through observing the special attention the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&hp) lavished on him. He (pbuh&hp) cherished him, chose his name and title, and sent his greetings to him through one of his great companions, Jabir Bin Abdullah Ansari, despite the time gap that separated the Prophet (pbuh&hp) from his great grandson Imam Baqir (pbuh).
The Holy Imam (pbuh) collected teachings and reforms of the Holy Prophet (pbuh&hp) through his great fathers, the Imams (pbut), in the form of books. His pupils compiled books on different branches of science and arts under his instructions and guidance. In the excellence of his personal purity and Godly traits, the Holy Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (pbuh) was a model of the Holy Prophet and his great grandfather, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (pbuh). His admonitions created a spiritual sensation among the Muslims in general. He was not only hospitable even to his worst enemies but also used to continually exhort them to the right path. He urged people to earn their livelihood by their own hard work. The Holy Imam gave much importance to convening majalis (meetings) in commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (pbuh).
On the 7th Thu el-Hejja when he was fifty-nine years old, Hisham ibn 'Abdi 'I-Malik ibn Marwan, the ruler of that time, poisoned the Imam (pbuh), which eventually led to his (pbuh)'s martyrdom . The funeral prayers for this Holy Imam were conducted by his son Imam Ja'far as.-Sadiq, the Six Imam, and his body was laid to rest in Jannatul-Baqi' in Medina. |
