He was brought up in the care of hisgrandfather, Imam Ali Zainul Abideen (A) for 12 years and then remained under theguidance of his father, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (A) for another 19 years.During the lifetime of Imam (A), the Bani Abbas took over the reins of political powerfrom the Bani Umayyah. In this period of internal wars and upheavals, he was notdisturbed by the rulers. He used this opportunity to advance the work started by hisfather and he set up a large teaching centre.Many students from foreign countries came to learn from Imam (A).His classes and sessions of instruction produced 4,000 scholars ofHadith and the sciences. Amongst his famous students were Hishambin Hakam, Jaabir bin Hayyaan and Abu Hanifah. Imam (A) wasresponsible for organising the Fiqh (laws) of the Shia faith, which iswhy we are sometimes known as the Ja'fari Shia.Once a man from Iran by the name of Sahl bin Hasancame to Imam (A) and asked him why he did not fightfor his right when there were so many Shia in Iran readyto fight with him. In reply Imam (A) took Sahl to the fireplace and asked him to sit in the blazing fire. Sahlbegan to tremble and said that he had a family to returnto, and begged to be excused from this test.Meanwhile, Haroon Makki, a close companion of Imam(A), arrived, having just returned from Hajj. Imam (A) asked him to jump in the fire andhe did so at once. After a while, Imam (A) asked Sahl to look in the fire place. Sahl sawthat Haroon sat there, quite unharmed. Imam (A) asked Sahl how many such followerswere there in Iran, to which the man replied, "None, master." Having made his point,Imam (A) asked Haroon to come out of the fire.

QUESTION BOXAre we ready to join the army of our Imam (A) no matter what situation weare in, or will our personal matters come in between?QUESTION BOXHow many times have we thought of using Duas and A’maals to solve our problems, instead of complaining and getting angry?
Once, a man falsely accused Imam (A) of plotting against the Bani Abbas Caliph,Mansoor Dawanaqi. When he was called to the court to explain his actions, Imam (A)denied the allegation and asked the man to repeat his words under oath. The manbegan the oath by praising Allah, but Imam (A) asked him to make his statement bysaying that he was free from the protection of Allah and trusted his own strength andwisdom. When the man took the oath against Imam (A) in this way, his leg wasparalysed immediately. Mansoor ordered the man to be thrown out of his court.Once in Madina there was a shortage of wheat flourand prices of the flour were very high. Imam (A) askedhis servant what their situation was. The servant repliedthat they had plenty of wheat and should have noproblem for a long time. Imam (A) said, “Sell the wheatin the market and let us face the situation along witheveryone else.” In this way he taught that hoarding isdiscouraged by Islam.Imam (A) was once called to the court of Mansoor who was in an extremely angrymood towards him. When he came to the court, a man called Rabi saw that he wasreciting something quietly.Gradually, the anger of Mansoor died down, and by the time Imam (A) approached him,he was pleased to see him. Later, Rabi asked him what he was reciting, and he said itwas the prayer to Allah which his great grandfather Imam Husain (A) used to recite asfollows:Rabi said that he learnt this prayer and never remained in hard times after he recited it."
O my Provision in time of hardship, O my Help in the face of disaster, guard me with Your Eye which never sleeps,surround me with Your impenetrable fortress."
