Al-Kafi reports that Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, on the day of his death, heard Imam Zayn al-Abidin calling him to come quickly. The report is preserved as an early Imami narration. Al-Majlisi later graded the same report in Mir’at al-‘Uqul as weak in chain but close to the muwaththaq category.
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir · PER-000013 · Early historyAl-Kafi reports that Dawud ibn Zurbi became severely ill in Medina. When Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, learned of his illness, he sent written instructions combining supplication and charity. The report preserves the exact Arabic supplication, asks Dawud to use a sa‘ of wheat and distribute it among the poor, and records that after carrying out the instruction he felt as though he had been released from a binding. Al-Majlisi later graded this hadith sahih within Twelver Imami hadith criticism.
Imam Jafar al-Sadiq · PER-000015 · Early historyAl-Kafi preserves a report from Musafir in which Imam Ali al-Rida first asked whether there were fish in a nearby water channel. After Musafir confirmed that there were, the Imam said that he had seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a dream the previous night. In the dream, the Prophet addressed him with the words: «يا علي، ما عندنا خير لك» — “O Ali, what is with us is better for you.” Later Imami writers understood the message as an indication that the Imam’s departure from this world was drawing near. A later report quoted from al-Khara'ij adds that he died a few days afterward.
Imam Ali al-Rida · PER-000019 · Early historyAl-Kafi reports that when Imam Muhammad al-Jawad was summoned for his second journey to Baghdad, he told Isma‘il ibn Mihran that this time he feared for his life and that the matter after him would belong to his son Ali. Later historical evidence shows that al-Mu‘tasim summoned him to Baghdad in 220 AH/835 CE and that he died there within the same year. Ali al-Hadi was then generally recognized by his father's followers as the next Imam.
Imam Muhammad al-Jawad · PER-000021 · Early historyClassical Sunni sources preserve a report that Asma bint Abi Bakr may Allah be pleased with her prayed that she would not die until her eyes were comforted by seeing the body of her son Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr after his death. Al-Lalaka'i's route says permission was later granted to take the body down, that Asma took part in or directed its washing and shrouding, and that she prayed over him. The same route says that a full week did not pass before Asma died. A separate historical route independently corroborates the funeral sequence, while classical biographical sources differ over the exact interval between her son's death and hers.
