Abu Basir narrates: After the martyrdom of Imam Sadiq (AS) I went to his house to pay my condolences to his wife Hamidah. Upon seeing me, she began to weep and I wept as well.
Then she said Abu Basir! If you were here on the last moments of Imam Sadiq's (AS) life, you would have witnessed something extraordinary.
”What is that?” I asked.
She answered:
”It was in the last moments of the Imam's life when he opened his blessed eyes and said:
Gather all of my family and relatives now and bring them to me!? Thus, we gathered every one of the relatives until no-one was left. He turned to them and said,
”We will not intercede 1 for those who belittle 2 Salat 3.”
