At the
time of the death of his father he was in Madina. Mamoon called him to
Baghdad which was then the capital of the
caliphate
and outwardly showed him much kindness. He even gave the Imam his daughter
in marriage and kept him in Baghdad.
In reality
he wanted to keep a close watch upon the Imam from both outside and within
his own household. The Imam spent
some
time in Baghdad and then with the consent of Mamoom set out for Madina
where he remained until Mamoon's death. When Mu'tasim became the caliph
he called the Imam back to Baghdad and, as we have seen, through the Imam's
wife had him
poisoned
and killed.
