Imam Al-Sadiq

Mohammed said: "The slave slept and did not wash his anus). So, Mohammed faced what
Musafir told him from the Imam.(559)
When Mohammed tendered his resignation, al- Jaludy sent him to al- M'mun. When he came
to him, al- M'mun honored him, made friends with him, bestowed upon him, and gave him a
good reward. Mohammed resided with al- M'mun in Khorasan. He and a group of the sons of
his uncle visited him. Al- M'mun suffered from him what no ruler had suffered from his
subjects before.
One day, al- Ma'mun was astonished to see Mohammed and a group of the Talibiyin came to
visit him because such a group revolted against him in the year 200 (A.H.). So, the decree
came to them and said: "Do not ride with Mohammed b. Ja'far. Ride with Abd Allah b. al-
Husayn. However, they refused to ride and stayed in their house. For this reason the decree
came: "Ride with whomever you like." So, when they rode to al- Ma'mun, they rode with
Mohammed b. Ja'far and then they departed when he did.(560)
When Mohammed revolted against al- M'mun, al- Rida, peace be on him turned away from
him and said: "I have decided that he and I do not sit under the roof of a house." 'Amr b.
Zayd, who was on a visit to Abu al- Hasan (peace be on him), said: "I said to myself: 'This is
(i.e. al- Rida) orders (people to conform to) charity and relation, and he said these (words) to
his uncle.'" He looked at me and said: "This is of charity and of the relation. When he comes
to me, people believe him. If he does not come to me, and I do not go to him, people do not
accept his words."(561)
Among the miracles of Abu al- Hasan (i.e. al- Rida), peace be on him, concerning
Mohammed was that Mohammed became ill. Some people told al- Rida, peace be on him that
Mohammed had tied his chin. So, al- Rida and a group of his companions went to him. They
saw him tying his chin.
Also they saw Ishaq, Mohammed's brother, his sons, and a group of the family of Abu Talib
weeping. Abu al- Hasan sat by his head. He looked at his face and smiled. So, those who were
sitting became displeased with Abu al- Hasan. Some of them said: "He (Abu al- Hasan)
smiled to express his rejoice at the misfortune of Mohammed. When Abu al- Hasan went out
to pray in mosque, his companions said to him: "May we be your ransom, when you smiled,
we heard those people saying some words which we hate to hear about you." Abu al- Hasan,
peace be on him, said: "I was astonished to see Ishaq weeping. By Allah, he will die before
Mohammed. And Mohammed will weep over him." Then Mohammed recovered and Ishaq
died.(562)
Although Mohammed lived in Khorasan, he did not surrender to the Owner of the Crown (i.e.
al- Ma'mun). One day, some people came and told him that the servants of Dhulri'asatayn
(563) (the man with two offices) hit his servants to take their wood which they had bought.
