                                          Muhammad ibn Ali Taqi (The Ninth Imam )

He was buried next to his grandfather, the seventh Imam, in Kazimayn. He became Imam after the death of his father through Divine Command and by the decree of his forefathers.

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.
