Sheykh

Koleyni – a famous Shia'h scholar from the 3^rd century

A.H.- has narrated from one of Imam Mosa Kaazem's (PBUH) servants who

said that just before Imam Mosa Kaazem was taken to Baghdad by the

Caliph, the Imam told his son -Imam Reza (PBUH)- to sleep in the

vestibule and entered the house after the morning prayer, until one

night that we waited for the Imam in the vestibule but there was no

sign of him anywhere in the house; we -the servants- and his family

became worried; with the morning sun, the Imam appeared in the house

and went to the lady of the house and asked her to give him the

things that Imam Musa Kaazem (PBUH) had given her entrust; the lady

started to cry because she was told by Imam Musa Kaazem to give those

to his son only after his death... .

The

narrator continued that Imam Reza (PBUH) told her to keep this secret

and not to tell anyone about his father's demising until the news

would reached Medina from Baghdad; the lady emphasized on the fact

that Imam Mosa Kaazem(PBUH) had told her that one of his sons would

come and ask for those trusted items and that would be when he would

have passed away ... .

The

narrators said after a few days the news of the martyrdom reached

Medina and we realized that it had happened exactly the same night

when Imam Reza (PBUH) miraculously had gone to Baghdad to perform the

special death prayer and spiritual rituals for his father ... .

Imam

Musa Kaazem was martyred by the Haaroon-O-Rrashid ,an Abbasi Caliph,

on Rajab 25^th , years 183A.H. in a Baghdad dungeon where

the Imam was kept for so long.
