 The Last Will of Imam Sadiq (A.S.)

The Last Will of Imam Sadiq (A.S.)

Abu Basir narrates:
After the martyrdom of Imam Sadiq (A.S.) I went to his house to pay my condolences to his wife Hamidah. Upon seeing me, she began to weep and I wept as well.
Then she said Abu Basir! If you were here on the last moments of Imam Sadiq's (A.S.) life, you would have witnessed something extraordinary.
What is that? I asked.

She answered:
It was in the last moments of the Imam's life when he opened his blessed eyes and said:
Gather all of my family and relatives now and bring them to me!? Thus, we gathered every one of the relatives until no-one was left. He turned to them and said,
We will not intercede(1) for those who belittle(2) Salat(3).? (Bihal al-Anwar , vol. 6, p. 154 ,and vol. 4, p. 297)

(1)- Means Shafa'ah
(2)- Do not give much importance to
(3)- Saying Prayer
