The offense of this great Imam was defending the true Islam and fighting against the tyranny of the Umayyad dynasty. Unfortunately, medication was not able to save the Imam from the poison, and thus the Imam became a martyr. During his last moments, the Imam repeated his father\u2019s last will and said: An hour before Imam Hussain\u2019s martyrdom, he came and hugged me; he then said:<\/p><p>\u201cO My Son! Fear oppressing someone who does not have a helper in avenging you, but Allah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p>Moreover, Imam Sajjad (PBUH) told his son Imam Baqir (PBUH): I advise you my son to what my father advised me before his martyrdom:<\/p><p>\u201cO My Son! Be patient and persistent on the right path even if it is hard and painful.\u201d<\/p><p>Imam Sajjad (PBUH) fought the Umayyad oppression for 35 years after Imam Hussain\u2019s (PBUH) great sacrifice. At the age of 57, he answered the call of his Lord, and signed his father\u2019s permanent rising in his own blood.<\/p><p>The following is a piece of prayer taken from\u00a0<em>Sahifah Sajjadieh<\/em>, which is a famous book of prayers to Allah (SWT) by Imam Sajjad (PBUH).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0\u201cO Allah!
