Shahadath of imam mohammed Baqir jjh .......... Imam Mohammed Baqir bin Ali bin Hussain bin Aliasws (The Fifth Imamasws) The 4th Imam, Zainul-abideenasws and Syeda Fatimaasws, the daughter of Imam Hassanasws were blessed with a son, Imamasws Mohammed Baqirasws, on 1st Rajab 57 AH in Madina. The 5th Imamasws’s both parents were direct descendents of Imam Aliasws and Syeda Fatima Zahiraasws. The 5th Imamasws too suffered from the brutalities of Muslims very early on in his life, the same way as Imamasws‘s ancestors did, the foundation of which was laid down in ‘Saqifa’1 soon after the martyrdom of Prophet Mohammedsaww. Imamasws was only 3 when 72 of hisasws family members were starved for three days and martyred, in front of himasws, on the 10th of Moharram. The 5th Imamasws was taken prisoner together with his terminally ill fatherasws and those women and children who escaped the death after Umayyad army looted and burnt down their tents on the eve of Ashura2. On their way to Kufa and Sham, young Imamasws heard screams of children who fell down from the back of running camels and got trampled; and the helpless cries of their mothers, whose hands were tied behind their backs. Imam Mohammed Baqirasws‘s battered convoy was forced to march bare feet for miles on smouldering sand and were taken from one town to another, belonging to the supporters of Umayyad, as a show of their triumph over Prophetasws’s nobel family. Umayyad soldiers treated Ahlul Baitasws with severe cruelty, making frequent use of heavy whips, even on the faces and backs of innocent children. Ahlul Baitasws were also forcibly paraded in Bazaars of Kufa and Sham where women and children were invited and encouraged to pelt stone and burning briquettes on the captives(the Prophetsaww’s household). Finally, after over a year’s detention in a roofless prison, theyasws were allowed to return to Madina where Imam Mohammed Baqirasws grew-up, under the guardianship of his father, Imam Zainul-Abideenasws.
