7. Ishaq Bin al‐Hasan Bin Zayd Bin al‐Hasan Bin ‘Ali Bin Abi Talib, peace be on him
His mother was a slave‐wife. Harun ordered him to be imprisoned, and he died in prison.[1]
As the ‘Alawids met tyranny and persecution, many of them fled. Among those who fled was
Ahmed b. ‘Isa b. Zayd b. Imam Zayn al‐‘Abidin, peace be on him. He fled to Basrah. He secretly
summoned the people to follow him. Harun became grieved because of his affair. He decided to
give a lot of money to those who would bring him. The spies looked for him, but they did not find
him. They found his companion Hadir and brought him to al‐Rashid. When Hadir arrived at the
gate of al‐Kerkh (in Baghdad), he shouted at the top of his voice, saying: “O Men, I am Hadir, the
companion of Ahmed b. ‘Isa b. Zayd al‐‘Alawi! The supreme authority has ordered me to be
arrested!” So the policemen prevented him from speaking. They brought him to al‐Rashid. When
al‐Rashid saw him, he asked him about the place where Ahmed resided. Then he asked him about
his helpers and supporters. Hadir refused to tell them anything about them. So al‐Rashid
threatened him with painful chastisement. Hadir paid no attention to his threat and his authority,
saying to him: “By Allah, if Ahmed was beneath this foot of mine, I would not raise it from him! I
am an old man aged over ninety! Shall I end my deeds with leading you to the son of Allah’s
Apostle to kill him?”[2]
Al‐Rashid became existed, lost his mind and his choice. So he ordered him to be severely whipped,
and he died of that. Then he ordered him to be crucified, and he was crucified in Baghdad.
Accordingly, Ahmed remained hidden; and none had any piece of information about him. These
are some tragedies and disasters Harun poured upon the ‘Alawids. He continuously shed their
blood.
Generally speaking, Harun spread among the ‘Alawids murder, severe punishment, sadness, and
mourning. So many of them fled in terror. They were pursued by the police and the spies. They
witnessed matchless terrorism and harassment in horribleness and bitterness. As for what Imam
Musa, peace be on him, met from this tyrannical (Harun), we have specified a chapter for it. In the
chapter we have talked about the torture and harassment he met.
