Al-Murtaḍā li-Dīn Allāh — Peace Be Upon Him
Imam al-Murtaḍā li-Dīn Allāh, Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Qāsim ibn Ibrāhīm (may God be pleased with them). He called people to God after the death of his father. When Imam al-Hādī died, he came out to the people, reminded them of God, and offered them condolences — then said:
It eases what I encounter of grief that I —
shall be his neighbor in his grave today or tomorrow.
