62-1 Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of Yasir - the servant, “When there were seven way-stations between us and Toos, Abul Hassan Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) fell ill. We reached Toos and by then his illness had got worse. We stayed in Toos for several days. Al-Ma’mun went to visit him twice daily.On the last day - the day on which he died - Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) had become much weaker. After saying his noon prayer, Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) asked, ‘O Yasir! Do these people not eat anything?’ I asked, ’O my master! How can they eat anything seeing the way you are?’ Then Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) sat up and said, ‘Spread out the tablecloth.’ Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) called in all his workers and had them all sit at the tablecloth. Ar-Ridha’ asked each one of them about his health. Then after they all had eaten, Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) ordered that they take food for the women, too, and feed all of them. When this was done he got really weak and became unconscious. Everyone present started to cry. All of Al-Ma’mun’s maids and wives rushed in without wearing any veils. Crying and mourning filled up all of Toos. Al-Ma’mun himself was in bare feet and head and was hitting himself on the head and trying to cover the hair of his wives with his long beard. He was expressing his sorrow by crying and tears were flowing down his face. He went and stopped at the side of Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.). Then Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) regained his consciousness. Al-Ma’mun said, ‘O my Master! By God! I do not know which calamity is worse for me: losing you and being away from you, or the people’s accusing me of poisoning and killing you.’”Yasir adedd, “Then the Imam (a.s.) opened his eyes a little, looked at Al-Ma’mun and said, “O Commander of the Faithful! Treat Abi Ja’far (Imam Ridha’’s son) (a.s.) with kindness since your life and his life are like this” While he (a.s.) brought his forefingers together.”Yasir added, “When the night came and some time had passed by, Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) passed away. Then when the morning came the people gathered there and said, ‘This man (referring to Al-Ma’mun) killed him. This man martyred him.’ They meant Al-Ma’mun. They kept on saying, ‘The son of God’s Prophet (S) was killed.’ There was a lot of turmoil there. Muhammad ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad (Imam Ridha’’s uncle) who had sought refuge from Al-Ma’mun and had come from Medina to Khorasan was there. He was Abil Hassan Ar-Ridha’’s uncle. Then Al-Ma’mun told him, ‘O Aba Ja’far (Muhammad ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad)! Go out to the people and tell them that they will not bring out Abal Hassan Ar-Ridha’’s (a.s.) corpse today. Tell them to go about doing their own business.’ Al-Ma’mun did not wish the body to be taken out fearing that it might result in sedition. Then Muhammad ibn Ja’far went out and told the people, ‘O people! Disperse! Indeed today Abal Hassan Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) will not be brought out.’ Then the people dispersed. Then they performed the ritual ablution for death for Abal Hassan Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) at night and buried him.”Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem added, “In fact, Ali ibn Ibrahim said that Yasir has told him something which I do not like to mention here.”
IsnādAhmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja'far al-Hamdani nous a informés, qu'Allah soit satisfait de lui, a dit: Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim nous a informés, Yasir al-Khadim a dit: "Lorsqu'il y avait sept maisons entre nous et Tous, Abou al-Hassan (paix soit sur lui) tomba malade. Nous sommes entrés à Tous et sa maladie s'aggrava, donc nous sommes restés à Tous pendant quelques jours. Al-Ma'mun venait le voir deux fois par jour. Le dernier jour où il est décédé, il était faible. Après avoir prié Dhuhr, il m'a dit: 'Ô Yasir, les gens ont mangé quelque chose?' J'ai dit: 'Ô mon seigneur, qui mange ici alors que tu es dans cet état?' Il s'est redressé. Puis il a dit: 'Apportez la table.' Il n'a laissé personne de sa famille sans le faire asseoir avec lui à table, vérifiant un par un. Après avoir mangé, il a dit: 'Envoyez de la nourriture aux femmes.' La nourriture a été apportée aux femmes. Quand ils ont fini de manger, il a perdu connaissance, affaibli. Un cri a retenti, les servantes d'Al-Ma'mun et ses femmes sont venues en pleurant. L'incident s'est propagé à Tous. Al-Ma'mun est venu en pleurant, se frappant la tête, saisissant sa barbe, regrettant, pleurant, les larmes coulant sur ses joues. Il s'est tenu devant al-Rida (paix soit sur lui) qui s'était réveillé et a dit: 'Ô mon seigneur, je ne sais pas quelle des deux calamités est plus grande pour moi, ta perte ou l'accusation des gens selon laquelle je t'aurais empoisonné et tué.' Il a levé son regard vers lui et a dit: 'Sois bon, ô Commandeur des croyants, envers Abou Ja'far, car ta vie et la sienne sont ainsi.' Il a joint ses deux doigts. Ce soir-là, après une partie de la nuit, il a rendu l'âme. Au matin, les gens se sont rassemblés et ont dit: 'Celui-ci l'a tué et l'a empoisonné,' faisant référence à Al-Ma'mun. Ils ont dit: 'Il a tué le fils du Messager d'Allah.' Les rumeurs ont circulé. Muhammad ibn Ja'far ibn Muhammad (paix soit sur lui) a remis Al-Ma'mun en sécurité et est venu à Khurasan. Il était l'oncle d'Abou al-Hassan. Al-Ma'mun lui a dit: 'Ô Abou Ja'far, sors et informe les gens qu'Abou al-Hassan ne sortira pas aujourd'hui.' La discorde a été évitée. Abou al-Hassan a été lavé la nuit et enterré."
Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim a dit: "Yasir m'a informé de quelque chose que je n'aime pas mentionner dans le livre."
