conditions and asked him to permit him to resign his office. The Imam prevented him from that<br />

and said to him: “O ‘Ali, certainly Allah has placed his friends among the friends of the oppressive<br />

to defend his friends; and you, ‘Ali, are of them.”<br />

Imam Musa wanted ‘Ali to remain in his office, that he might relieve the Shi‘ites persecuted by the<br />

‘Abbasid authorities, to the extent that they prevent them from all legal rights.<br />

D. Imam Musa loves ‘Ali Bin Yaqteen<br />

Imam Musa, peace be on him, showed loyal affection and friendship for ‘Ali. For example, he<br />

visited him one day and said to his <strong>com</strong>panions: ‐If one is happy to see one of the <strong>com</strong>panions of<br />

Allah’s Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family, than let him look at that <strong>com</strong>ing (man)‐he<br />

indicated with his hand to ‘Ali. One of those present asked him:<br />

‐Is ‘Ali among the people of the Garden?<br />

‐As for me, I bear witness that he is of the people of the Garden. ‘Ali sent a person to Imam Musa<br />

to ask him to invoke Allah for him. When the person was in front of the Imam, peace be on him,<br />

he said to him: ‐O Son of Allah’s Apostle, ‘Ali b. Yaqteen has sent me, that you may invoke Allah<br />

for him. ‐For the hereafter? ‐Yes.<br />

‐I have guaranteed that the fire will never touch ‘Ali! Dawud al‐Raqqi has narrated, saying: “I<br />

visited Abi al‐Hasan on the Day of Immolation (Youm al‐nahr). He spoke first to me: ‘When I was in<br />

the Standing‐place (of ‘Arafa), none came to my mind except ‘Ali b. Yaqteen. He was still with me.<br />

He did not separated himself from me until I finished.”<br />

Isma‘il b. Musa has said: “I heard the righteous servant (Musa) say on al‐Safa (Mountain): “My<br />

Lord, (O You Who are) in the Highest Place, forgive ‘Ali b. Yaqteen!” And Imam Musa has said: “ Of<br />

the happiness of ‘Ali b. Yaqteen is that I remembered him in the Standing‐place (of ‘Arafa).” These<br />

examples indicate that Imam Musa harbored love and loyalty to ‘Ali b. Yaqteen. Without doubt<br />

the Imam was sincere to him, for he was a wonderful example of piety, righteousness, and ideals.<br />
