H 5 - Muhammad bin Ibad said: Musa bin Yahya bin Khalid informed me: Imam Kadhim said to Yahya:

I will definitely die after a week. Keep this confidential and come to me at noon on Friday with as many of your friends as you can and recite my funeral prayers and take care that in order to protect your life when you travel, this tyrant [Harun Rashid] who has gone to Riqa, when he comes back, he should not see you and you should not see him. As I have seen in the destiny of you and your sons that he would become inimical to you and pursue you; so keep away from Harun. Then Imam said: “O Abu Ali, inform him (Harun) on my behalf: ‘Musa says to you: My messenger will come to you on Friday and tell you about what you see (i.e., his death). When I bring a suit against you before Allah, you will tomorrow come to know who wronged and aggressed against his opponent! And Peace (be on you). Yahya went out while he could not see his way due to his pain and impatience. His eyes turned red out of weeping when he saw the Imam in that condition. He told Harun about the Imam’s statement, and he sneeringly said: “If he leaves prophecy after some days, our state will be better!” [This statement of Harun shows his extreme distress before the Imam]. When it was Friday, Harun traveled to Madayan and arrived after the martyrdom of Imam . They brought out the purified body of Imam so that people may pay tribute to him, after that they interred him and returned. After that incident people became divided into two sects: some said: The Imam has passed away and others said: The Imam has not died; he is alive.
