15th Rajab 1432 A.H. - Martyrdom of Imam Jafer Sadiq(a.s.)

[ZiaraatDotCom]

As Salam-o-alaikum,

15th Rajab 1432 A.H. - According to some traditions it is the date of
martyrdom of Imam Jafer Sadiq(a.s.) - the 6th Holy Imam. Some other
traditions state his date of martyrdom as 15th or 25th of Shawwal.
According to some traditions it is also the date of wafat of Bibi
Zainab(s.a.). Some other traditions state her date of death as 5th of
Jamadi-al-Awwal.

There is an almost consensus of opinion that the martyrdom of Imam
Jafer Sadiq(a.s.) was caused through poisoning by Mansoor Duwaniqi in
148 A.H. Imam(a.s.) was of 65 years of age – the longest among all
masoomeen(a.s.) apart from Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.). He was buried in the
cemetery of Baqi in Makkah Mukarrama. An important quote of Imam(a.s.)
just before his death was that "The shifaat of us - Ahl-e-Bati(a.s.) -
can not reach those who consider Namaz as ordinary and light".

On this occasion of sorrow and grief in the household of the Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw), I wish to extend my condolences to the Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw), Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.), the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) and to all
Momineen and Mominaat.

To renew your allegiance to the Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and his
Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.), please offer nazrana and offer special prayers and
duas.
