AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): During
the rule of Motawkel, Imam Hadi had to face hardship. He was always
under the control of the spies of the rulers. Nevertheless he discharged
his duties as the Imam of Muslims.
Once Motawakel ordered his
men to search your house. They searched your house but what they found
was the Qur'an, supplication books and prayers mat.
Yahya bin
Haraama said “we went to the house of Ali (a.s.) after reaching Medina.
We entered and people learned about the arrest issue, there was a huge
stress and dissatisfaction among them and they cried so hard I had never
seen before. I made them calm by giving them my words that I am not
there to hurt him. Then I started searching his house and there was
nothing in his special room except some supplication books and the
Qur'an. A number of agents took him out and I served him personally
throughout this trip.
After arriving in Bagdad, I first met
Governor Isaac bin Ibrahim Taheri who told me: Yahya! He is the son of
the Prophet, beware! If you encourage Motawakel to kill him, the Prophet
(a.s.) will be your enemy. I swear by God I have seen nothing but
goodness and there is no reason I may do such thing, I replied.
Then
we went to Samara and I told the story to Vasif Turky who told me: you
are responsible if he is hurt! I was astonished by the words of Isaac
bin Ibrahim and Vasif Turky and after entering the castle and visiting
Motawakel I reported my journey to him and I saw Motawakel respects him
as well.1”
You are free in Samara but Motawakel’s people spy on
you and backbite you claiming you are hiding weapon, letters and other
staff given by your Shias from Qom and that you are planning to revolt
against his rule. Motawakel sends a group to search your house in the
midnight, but they find nothing and face you alone in a room in your
woolen cloth reciting Qur'an on a sandy surface.
