The difficulties of the prophets

After Hazrat Yaghub (peace be upon him) suffered from a lot of troubles and difficulties in the life, he passed away in the age of 140 or 147 in Egypt. In the time of his death, he willed Hazrat Yusef to take his body to Palestine and to bury him beside the father, Hazrat Isaac, and his grandfather, Hazrat Ibrahim. According to the will of his father, Hazrat Yusef (peace be upon him) took his body to Sham and buried him beside the father, Hazrat Isaac, and his grandfather, Hazrat Ibrahim. He laid the body in a coffin made of teak wood and took it to the Beit Al-Moghadas. The time that the coffin was taken to Beit Al-Moghadas coincided with the decease of Eis; therefore, they were buried at the same grave. That is why Jewish people take the dead to Beit Al-Moghadas.
Since Yaghub and Eis were born and passed away at the same time, their life span was equal and both of them were 147 in the time of their decease.
When Hazrat Yaghub (peace be upon him) passed away, Hazrat Yusef (peace be upon him) mourned for forty years and during this time, the children of Hazrat Yaghub (peace be upon him) and the dignitaries of Egypt were doing necessary activities to carry the body of Hazrat Ibrahim ( peace be him) to Palestine. After forty days, they moved toward Palestine. When they wanted to bury the body of Hazrat Ibrahim beside the grave of Hazrat Ibrahim, Eis came, prevented from burying him and struggled with them. Then Shamun that was a young man invaded toward Eis and murdered him. This event made that both of bodies were buried at same grave.
Hazrat Yusef (peace be upon him) came to Palestine to bury his father. After he buried him in Beit Al-Moghadas, he came back Palestine. When the decease of Hazrat Yaghub (peace be upon him) approached, he summoned his children and grandchildren, prayed for all of them and advised each of them. Then he granted his special sword and bow to Hazrat Yusef (peace be upon them). He also recommended Hazrat Yusef to take his body to Beit Al-Moghadas and to bury it beside the grave of Hazrat Ibrahim and Hazrat Isaac. When Hazrat Yaghub passed away, they mourned for him for forty days.
Huron that was one of the Abasi Caliphs lived in the time of Hazrat Kazem (peace be upon him). Since Huron was afraid of the interest of the people toward Imam Kazem and his authority, he had some persons keep him informed of whatever happened around the house of Imam Kazem (peace be upon him).
He was really afraid of the interest of people toward Imam Kazem and his religious authority.
The religious authority of Imam Kazem (peace be upon him) in the government was as much as Ali Bin Yaghtin (the minister of the Abasi Government) was the lover of Hazrat Musa Bin Jafar ( peace be upon him) and obeyed his orders.
Finally, the criticism of others about Imam Kazem (peace be upon him) influenced Huron and in his trip to Hajj in 179 Heijrat, he understood the religious greatness of Imam Kazem and his respect among people; therefore, he became really worried. When he came to Medina and visited the luminous grave of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants), he decided to arrest Imam Kazem (peace be upon him).
When it was decided that Hazrat Kazem (peace be upon him) was brought from Medina to Basre, Huron ordered to tie several palanquins to the palanquin of Imam Kazem and to take some of them in other paths in order that people could not understand where and with what persons Imam Kazem was taken and they could not guess the place that he was going to be exiled. In this way, they could prevent from the hopelessness of the people and did not let people riot in the absence of their leader. All of these events represent how afraid the government was for the presence of Imam Kazem (peace be upon him) among the people. Huron exiled Imam Kazem (peace be upon him) from Medina prudently and Imam Kazem (peace be upon him) was sent from a prison to another one for several years. Surprisingly, after Imam Kazem (peace be upon him) was martyred, since Imam had a great personality, Huron emphasized that Hazrat Musa Bin Jafar (peace be upon him) was not poisoned, but he passed away naturally.
Sad Bin Abdullah Bin Abi Khalf Ashari Qomi was one of reliable persons of Imamei and was the sheikh of the tribe. According to a narration, Ahmad Bin Isa Qomi came to the presence of Imam Hasan Asgari (peace be upon him) in Samara.
This Shiite great scientist has a lot of writings, the book '' Basaer Al-Darajat'' is the most famous one. Sheikh Hasan Bin Suleiman Heli, the student of Sheikh Shahid, selected it as the best book and now it is available for us to read. This precious Mohades and jurisprudent of Imamie Shiite passed away in 300 Gh.
Today is the anniversary of the death of Moghtader Bellah Abbasi. After Moghtader Abbasi was killed by Munes Khadem, the main founders of Abasi caliphate and the powerful commanders of the court appointed Muhammad Bin Motazed Bin Moavagh Bin Motevakel as a caliph, had him wear the garment of caliphate and addressed him with the title '' Al-Ghaher Bellah''. The name of his mother was Ghabul and the date of his caliphate was in the Shavval 28th in 320 Gh. He appointed Ubeidullah Bin Muhammad Kolvazi as the successor of Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Moghele in the affairs of ministry because Ibn Moghle was not in Baghdad in that time, lived in the district of Fars and Ibn Moghle was the main minister of the court and Kolvazi became his successor.
Ghaher Abasi had the children of Moghtader swear allegiance, made the life difficult for them and irritated his family and relatives. It has been said that they hit the mother of Moghtader Abasi and hung him from the ceiling in a way that his piss scattered on his face and lived until the end of his life in such condition.
The time of the caliphate of Ghaher was short and governed for a year and six months. There were bad chances for him, the powerful commanders were angry with him and he was expelled from caliphate.
They not only expelled him from caliphate, but they also probed his eyes and made him blind. From since then, he suffered from poverty and misery and lived dishonorably until the end of his life. It has been said that he wore old and outworn clothes and said the people '' O' people! Help me. I was your leader yesterday and today I am a poor Muslim.
Hussein Ruh Nobakhti was the special companion of Imam Hasan Asgari (peace be upon him) and the lawyer and the agent of Muhammad Bin Uthman. He was appointed as the successor of Imam in 305 Gh in that era. The race of Hussein was Iranian and was from the dynasty of No Bakht. When Muhammad Bin Uthman passed away, Hussein Bin Ruh stayed in his house the rest of the day. The servant of Muhammad Bin Uthman granted the stick, the casket and the book left from him to Hussein Bin Ruh. When Hussein Bin Ruh saw them, he said '' this stick belongs to my guardian, Imam Asgari (peace be upon him); the casket includes the ring of the Imams and the standing of the Imam has been recorded in the book. After a while, the letter was given to Hussein Bin Ruh on Sunday in the Shavval fifth in 305 Gh from the Imam Zaman(peace be upon him). It has been written in the letter '' we know Hussein Bin Ruh in this way '' God has him be familiar with good actions and whatever satisfies God and makes him satisfied with his blessings. We knew the content of his letter and are sure of the responsibility left to him. The rank that he has in us satisfies him. God grants him more blessings''. Hussein Bin Ruh that was the successor of Imam for twenty one years had high scientific rank. He wrote a book with the name '' Al-Taadib'' in jurisprudence that all of the scientists of the theological school of Qom had confirmed its content. The great jurisprudents of Qom with a lot of knowledge of jurisprudence science obeyed him.
Ali Bin Babuye, the famous Mohades of Qom, went to Baghdad to visit Hussein Bin Ruh, asked his questions from him and came back Qom.

Hussein Bin Ruh Nobakhti achieved to a social position and a highly religious rank as much as all of his supporters and the persons against him considered him the wisest person in that time.
However, he was imprisoned in the prison of the caliph, Moghtader Abasi, from 312 until 317. During this time, he organized the affairs of Shias through the intermediate of several lawyers. It can be understood from narrations and news that Excellency Muhammad Bin Uthman had lawyers and agents in the time of his ministry. For example, he had ten lawyers in Baghdad; Abu Al-Ghasem Hussein Bin Ruh was one of them and all of them had closer relationship with him than Hussein Bin Ruh.
As it has been narrated from Jafar Bin Muhammad Bin Ghulie Qomi, our Sheikhs said '' we were sure that Jafar Bin Ahmad Metil Qomi or his father would be only the successor of Muhammad Bin Uthman because they were as close as the second ambassador ate food only in the house of Jafar Bin Metil. In conclusion, the Shias were sure that Jafar Bin Metil would be appointed as the successor of Muhammad Bin Uthman after his death. However, when he introduced Hussein Bin Ruh as his successor, they accepted it. The reason the selection of Hussein Bin Ruh, in spite of great persons and dignitaries such as Abu Sahl Nobakhti and others, was that he had prominent features and Hazrat Saheb Al-Amr selected him with considering those features.
He was highly respected in the government of Abasi caliphs due to his relationship with the dynasty of Nobakhti in the time of Moghtader in 295-329 Gh. he was responsible for the estates of the caliph and socially, he was respected and accepted among the Shias and non-Shiite persons in Baghdad. The good position of Hussein Bin Ruh helped him to be accepted by all in the time of his successor. Hence, although a lot of persons were against the second ambassador, few persons were against Hussein Bin Ruh and he stood against them slyly.
The knowledge of Hussein Bin Ruh was unique. According to a narration, he wrote a book with the name '' Al-Tadib'', sent it to the jurisprudents of Qom in the Shiite great scientific centre and wrote on it '' read this book and record the parts that you disagree. After the jurisprudents of Qom read it, they wrote '' the whole book is correct except a matter that is about the amount '' one Sae''. Hussein Bin Ruh had a lot of scientific debates in the time when he was caliph and the matters that he expressed to answer the questions of the opposite side represented his high scientific rank.
