Kitāb al-Ghayba

Traditional reports about the martyrdom of Imam Kadhim

3- وروى محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد العبيدي قال: أخبرتني رحيم أم ولد الحسين بن علي بن يقطين- وكانت امرأة حرة فاضلة قد حجت نيفا وعشرين حجة- عن سعيد مولى أبي الحسن عليه السلام-وكان يخدمه في الحبس ويختلف في حوائجه-أنه حضره حين مات كما يموت الناس من قوة إلى ضعف إلى أن قضى عليه السلام.

H 3 - Muhammad bin Isa bin Ubaid Ubaidi says: Rahima, the mother of Husain bin Ali bin Yaqtin, who was a respected and an accomplished lady, performed Hajj 27 times. She narrates from Saeed, servant of Imam Kadhim (a.s), who used to visit the prison in order to serve the Holy Imam (a.s), that he was also present at the time of martyrdom of Imam (a.s) and he reported: Just as people become weak after being strong and then they die, same was the case of the death of Imam (a.s).
