Description
History of Martyrdom Of Imam Sadeq
Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad al-Ṣādiq also known as Jaʿfar al-Sadiq or simply Al-Sadiq ("The Truthful"), was the sixth Shia Imam and a major figure in Shia Islam.
Al-Sadiq was born in either 700 or 702 CE. He inherited the position of an imam from his father, Muhammad al-Baqir, in his mid-thirties.
He was a descendant of Ali his father's side, and of Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr on the side of his mother, Umm Farwah bint al-Qasim.
As an imam, Al-Sadiq stayed out of the political conflicts that embroiled the region, and recognised by all Shia sects as an Imam, and is revered in traditional Sunnism as a transmitter of Hadith, a prominent jurist, and mystic.
He was the victim of harassment by the Abbasid caliphs, and was, according to most Shia Muslims, poisoned at the orders of the Caliph al-Mansur on Shawwal 25, 148 AH. (765 CE)
