Mutiwakkil was suffering from a\npimple. The infectious pimple was threatening his life. No surgeon could cut it\nout or push out its infection. Mutiwakkil\u2019s mother made a vow that if his son\nrecovered she would present a large amount of her money for Imam Hadi (PBUH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, Fath ibn Khaaqan,\nthe vizier of Mutiwakkil, suggested that someone be sent to Imam Hadi (PBUH)\nmaybe he could prescribe a solution. Mutiwakkil accepted, and sent someone to\nImam Hadi (PBUH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The envoy told the story of\nMutiwakkil, and Imam, although Mutiwakkil was his enemy and had troubled him\nfor times, generously gave a prescription, and said \u201cby the will of God with\nthe help of the prescription the pimple will open and the infection would come\nout.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The envoy gave the prescription. Those\npresent mocked the prescription, and ridiculed Imam\u2019s (PBUH) statement.\nHowever, Fath bin Khaaqan said that \u201cwe should put it into practice\u201d and hoped\nthat it will be useful. After that the pimple opened and the infection came\nout, and Mutiwakkil was saved from death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Mutiwakkil\u2019s mother heard about\nthe recovery of his son she was delighted, and put 10 thousand dinars (Gold\ncoins) in a bag and sealed it with her sign, and sent it to Imam Hadi (PBUH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the recovery and relief,\nhowever, Mutiwakkil returned to his previous attitude. After a few days a\nperson came to him, and told him that Imam Hadi (PBUH) had gathered large\namounts of money and arms to rebel against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mutiwakkil ordered Saeed Hajeb to\nenter the house of Imam Hadi (PBUH) at night, and seize whatever arms and money\nhe finds, and send it to Mutiwakkil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibrahim bin Muhammad said: Sa\u2019eed\ninformed me that by the order of Mutiwakkil we went to the house of Imam Hadi\n(PBUH) at night, and put a ladder and went on the roof. I wanted to descend\nfrom the stairs in the dark, but I couldn\u2019t see in front of me, and I didn\u2019t\nknow how to complete my mission. At this time Imam Hadi (PBUH) called me, and\ntold me to stand where I was until he brings me a light. He lighted up a candle\nand exited his room. I descended from the stairs and entered the room. I saw\nhim wearing clothes from wool and a woolen hat, sitting on a fescue mat toward\nthe direction of Qiblah for worship. When he saw me, he told me that all the\nrooms are at your service. I couldn\u2019t find anything at all. In the corner of\nthe room, I saw a bag of gold with the sign of Mutiwakkil\u2019s mother on it.\nBeside it there was another bag. I took them. Imam Hadi (PBUH) told me to look\nunder his prayer mat too. There was a sword. I took them all to Mutiwakkil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seeing his mother\u2019s sign, Mutiwakkil\nwas surprised, and was about to send for his mother to ask her about the bags\nand the signs. One of the officials informed him that when he was suffering\nfrom the pimple his mother had made a vow for his recovery, and that these must\nbe related to that vow. Mutiwakkil opened the other bag and found 400 dinars in\nit. Then he added another bag, and ordered Saeed Hajeb to return those bags\nwith the sword to Imam Hadi (PBUH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saeed says: \u201caccording to the order, I\nreturned the bags and the sword shamefully, and told Imam Hadi (PBUH) that I\napologize for entering your house without permission; I had to obey the order\nof Mutiwakkil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam answered (by this verse of the Holy\nQuran):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd those who\ndo wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.\u201d(1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes; the caliphate, being aware of the\nknowledge and status of imamate, was always in conspiracy theory of an armed\nuprising from the Imams. Particularly they regarded the expansion of the\nnarrations, the records of the righteousness and virtues of the Imams, and the pledge of the savior as\na great obstacle in front of them. While the infallible Imams after Imam Hussain\n(PBUH) and Ashura incident never saw an appropriate opportunity in the society\nto form the just government, and did not think about overthrowing the caliphate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this conspiracy theory by the\ncaliphs caused them to disturb the Imams all the time; they harassed them with\ndifferent excuses, and finally killed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
