Brief of Imam Zainul
Abedeen (AS)
The Remained Son
Imam Sajjad ( Ali ibn Husayn entitled Zayn
al-abidin and Sajjad ) was the son of the third Imam , and his wife , the queen
among women , the daughter of Yazdsgird the king of Iran . He was the only son
of Imam Husayn to survive, for his other three brothers Ali Akbar , aged twenty-five
, five year old Ja'far and Ali Asghar ( or Abdullah ) who was a suckling baby ,
were martyred during the event of Karbala . The Imam had also accompanied his
father on the journey that terminated fatally in Karbala, but because of severe
illness and the inability to carry arms or participate in fighting he was
prevented from taking part in the holy war and being martyred . So he was sent
with the womenfolk to Damascus . After spending a period in imprisonment he was
sent with honor to Medina because Yazid wanted to conciliate public opinion .
But for a second time , by the order of the Umayyad caliph , Abd al-Malik , he
was chained and sent from Medina to Damascus and then again returned to Medina.
The Lonely Imam
The fourth Imam , upon
returning to Medina , retired from public life completely, closed the door of
his house to strangers and spent his time in worship . He was in contact only
with the elite among the Shi'ites such as Abu Hamzah Thumali , Abu Khalid
Kabuli and the like . The elite disseminated among the Shi'ah the religious
sciences they learned from the Imam . In this way Shi'ism spread considerably
and showed its effects during the imamate of the fifth Imam . Among the works
of the fourth Imam is a book called Sahifah sajjadiyah. It consists of
fifty-seven prayers concerning the most sublime Divine sciences and is known as
'The Psalm of the Household of the Prophet'. The fourth Imam died ( according
to some Shi'ite traditions poisoned by Walid ibn Abd al-Malik through the
instigation of the Umayyad caliph Hisham ) in 95/712 after thirty-five years of
imamate.
