The Imam Mahdi Association of Marjaeya would like to send its condolences on martyrdom of Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (as).

Imam Ja far ibn Muhammad, the son of the fifth Imam, was born in 83/702. During his Imamate, greater possibilities and a more favorable climate existed for him to propagate religious teachings. This came about as a result of revolts in Islamic lands, especially the uprising of the Muswaddah to overthrow the Umayyad caliphate, and the bloody wars which finally led to the fall and extinction of the Umayyads. The greater opportunities for Shi'ite teachings were also a result of the favorable ground the fifth Imam had prepared during the twenty years of his Imamate through the propagation of the true teachings of Islam and the sciences of the Household of the Prophet.

The Imam took advantage of the occasion to propagate the religious sciences until the very end of his Imamate, which was contemporary with the end of the Umayyad and beginning of the 'Abbasid caliphates. He instructed many scholars in different fields of the intellectual and transmitted sciences. Even some important Sunni scholars such as Sufyan Thawri, Abu-Hanifah, the founder of the Hanafi school of law, Qadi Sukuni, Qadi Abu-Bakhtari and others, had the honor of being his students. It is said that his classes and sessions of instruction produced four thousand scholars of hadith and other sciences. The number of traditions preserved from the fifth and sixth Imams is more than all the hadiths that have been recorded from the Prophet and the other ten Imams combined.

But toward the end of his life, the Imam was subjected to severe restrictions placed upon him by the 'Abbasid caliph Mansur, who ordered such torture and merciless killing of many of the descendants of the Prophet who were Shi' ite that his actions even surpassed the cruelty and heedlessness of the Umayyads.

Hushäm, the Umayyad caliph, had ordered the sixth Imam to be arrested and brought to Damascus. Later, the Imam was arrested by Abu'l- Abbas al-Saffah, the 'Abbasid caliph, and brought to Iraq. Finally, Mansur had him arrested again and brought to Samarra' where he had the Imam kept under supervision, was in every way harsh and discourteous to him, and several times thought of killing him.  Eventually, the Imam was allowed to return to Medina where he spent the rest of his life in hiding until he was poisoned and martyred through the intrigue of Mansur.
