Condolences on Martyrdom Anniversary of Imam Mohammad Baqir(Pbuh)

Martyrdom
Imam Baqir obviously became martyr in the Hesham- Ibn- Abdolmalek’s era. Because Hesham’s kingdom started from 105 to 125 A.H and according to the historians the year of Imam’s martyrdom was in 118 A.H. Considering the cruel behaviors of Hesham toward Imam Baqir and the undeniable animosity of the Omavids toward Imam Ali’s progeny, there is  no doubt that Hesham had an effective role in Imam’s martyrdom in a secret manner.
To wish for actualization of his plots, Hesham took the advantage of his trustees. He employed Ibrahim- Ibn- Valid who was from Omavids and the enemy of the Holy Prophet’s Progeny.Ibrahim in turn paved the ground for another person who could be so close to Imam Baqir. He supplied him with all necessary facilities. This person was from Bani Hashem’s tribe and he could put the treacherous plot into practice and led to Imam’s martyrdom .
