IMAM REDA (AS): IMAM-E-ZAAMIN (Guarantor)

There is a hadith of the Holy Prophet Mumammad (saw) that when you travel, you should
give charity (Sadaqah). So is it not better to give the money of Imam-e-Zaamin before you
go on your journey rather than when you get back, so that it may reach the poor quicker.

It is said that the Sura Tawheed (Sura Ikhlas), if written and cut into two halves, one given
to the traveller and the other left at his home, will always come together again and so
ensure the safe journey of the traveller.

The king at the time of our 8th Imam, Imam Reda (as) was Mamoon Rashid son of Haroon
Rashid. Mamoon Rashid had forced Imam Reda (as) to take the position of his heir apparent
(i.e. Imam Reda (as) was supposed to take over as king after Mamoon Rashid); because he
wanted to be accepted by the Shias. Although Imam Reda (as) did not want to take this
position, Imam Reda (as) made full use of it to preach Islam openly. To show to the people
how much he thought of Imam Reda (as), Mamoon Rashid changed the colour of his court
from black to green [the colour of the Imam Reda (as)], Mamoon Rashid also had new coins
made with Imam Reda's (as) name on it.

Each Imam (as) is remembered for a specific thing: EX: 4th Imam, Imam Zainul Abideen
(as) - In illness. 6th Imam,Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) - For sustenance. And in the same way
our 8th Imam, Imam Reda (as) is called upon when someone is about to go on a journey.

The eight Imam, Imam Reda (as) is also called as Imam-e-Zaamin. When Muslims go on
journeys they take with them something called Imam-e-Zaamin (another name for Imam
Reda (as)) which is some money tied in a cloth. This tradition probably came from the time
of Imam Reda (as) when people used to carry money with them especially because it had
Holy Imam's (as) name on it. As Mamoon Rashid, the Abbasid caliph the contemporary of
Imam Reda (as), had coins minted with the name of Imam Reda (as) on them, it was very
easy for the Muslims to carry the name of Imam Reda (as) with them, especially when they
went on journeys.

Imam Reda (as) is also known as Imam-e-Zaamin (as). Zaamin means "The Guarantor".

One day when Imam Reda (as) was on his historical journey from Madina to Marw
(Khurasan), while in a jungle Imam Reda (as) came across a hunter who was about to kill a
deer. The deer was trying to get away and when she saw Holy Imam Reda (as), she said
something to him. Holy Imam Reda (as) asked the hunter to free the deer so that she could
go and feed her little baby deers who were very hungry. Imam Reda (as) also told the
hunter that once the deer had fed her babies she would come back. The hunter allowed the
deer to go because Holy Imam Reda (as) had told him to, but he did not think the deer will
come back. But Imam Reda (as) waited with the hunter until the deer returned with her
young ones. The hunter was amazed on witnessing this miraculous event and he set the
deer free as a mark of respect for Imam Reda (as). After this historical event Imam Reda
(as) became famous as Imam-e-Zaamin (as).

The famous artist of the contemporary world, Ustad Mahmud Farshchiyan has depicted this
historical event in this beautiful masterpiece iconograph entitled "Zaamin-e-Aahu" (The
Guarantor of the Deer).
IMAM REDA (AS) AND UNFIXED WAGES

That day Sulayman bin Ja'far and Imam Reda (as) had gone out together for some work. It
was sunset when Sulayman bin Ja'far wanted to return home. Imam Reda (as) said to him:
"Come to my house and be with us tonight." Sulayman bin Ja'far agreed and with Imam
Reda (as) he went to his house.

Imam Reda (as) saw his servants busy in gardening. By the way, he saw a stranger, who
was also busy in gardening with them. Imam Reda (as) asked: "Who is he?"

The servants replied: "We have hired him today so that he may help us."

Imam Reda (as): "It'a all right. How much wages have you fixed for him?"

Servants: "We will give him something and would make him satisfied."

The signs of displeasure and anger appeared on Imam Reda (as) face and he wanted to
punish them. Sulayman bin Ja'far came forward and said:

"Why do you make yourself uncomfortable? "

Imam Reda (as) said: "I have repeatedly given orders that till the work and wages are not
fixed, never get the work done by anyone. First fix the wages of the person and then get the
work done. Even if you have fixed the wages, you could give something extra to him after
the work is over. Certainly, when he finds that you have given him more than the fixed
wages, he would be thankful to you and would like you. And the affection between you and
him would increase. And even if you would give him the wages you have fixed, the person
would not be unhappy with you. But if you do not fix the wages and employ someone to
work, whatever you would give him after the work, he would not think that you have done a
favour to him. Rather, he will think that you have given him less than his actual wages."
MAMOON RASHID'S OFFER OF HEIR TO IMAM REDA (AS)

On Imam Reda's (as) arrival in Marw (Khurasan), the seat of Mamoon Rashid's caliphate, the
Abbasid caliph showed him hospitality and great respect, then he said to him: "I want to get
rid of myself of the caliphate and vest the office in you." But Imam Reda (as) refused his
offer. Then Mamoon Rashid repeated his offer in a letter saying: "If you refuse what I have
offered you, then you must accept being the heir after me." But again Imam Reda (as)
refused his offer vigorously.

Mamoon Rashid summoned him. He was alone with Al-Fadl ibn Sahl, the Iranian noble
incharge of two offices (i.e., military and civil). There was no one else in their gathering.
Mamoon Rashid said to Imam Reda (as), "I thought it appropriate to invest authority over
the Muslims in you and to relieve myself of the responsibility by giving it to you." When
again Imam Reda (as) refused to accept his offer, Mamoon Rashid spoke to him as if
threatening him for his refusal. In his speech he said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab made a
committee of consultation (shura) (to appoint a successor). Among them was your
forefather, the Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib. (Umar ibn al-Khattab) stipulated
that any of them who opposed the decision should be executed. So there is no escape for
you from accepting what I want from you. I will ignore your rejection of it."

In reply, Imam Reda (as) said: "I will agree to what you want of me as far as succession is
concerned on condition that I do not command, nor order, nor give legal decisions, nor
judge, nor appoint, nor dismiss, nor change anything from how it is at present." Mamoon
Rashid accepted all of that.

On the day when Mamoon Rashid ordered to make the pledge of allegiance to Imam Reda
(as) one of the close associates of Imam Reda (as), who was present, narrates, "On that day
I was in front of him. Imam Reda (as) looked at me while I was feeling happy about what
had happened. Imam Reda (as) signalled me to come closer. I went closer to him and he
said so that no one else could hear, 'Do not occupy your heart with this matter and do not
be happy about it. It is something which will not be achieved.'"
INTERCESSION OF IMAM REDA (AS), THE IMAM-E-ZAAMIN (Guarantor)

It is written in 'Dhillul Mateen' that Meer Mu'inuddin Ashraf who was one of the virtuous
attendants of the shrine of Imam Reda (as) says that, "Once I dreamd that I was in the
shrine of Imam Reda (as) and was coming out to perform ablution (Wudu). When I came
near the mound of Ameer Ali Sher, I saw a group of people entering the shrine of Imam
Reda (as). An eminent personality was leading them, and they all carried spades in their
hands. As soon as they entered the shrine, the eminent personality pointed towards a
particular grave and said, "Dig out the wretched fellow from his grave". Hearing his
command they started digging the grave. I asked one of those men as to who that man was.
He replied that, he is the Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib. Suddenly I saw that
Imam Reda (as) came out of his shrine and greeted the Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn
Abi Talib. The Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib answered His greeting. Imam
Reda (as) said, "O my Respected Grandfather! I request you, and have faith, that you will
forgive this person on my behalf who lies buried here under the shelter of my shrine". The
Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib answered, "O my dear son! Do you know that he
was a mischief-creator, an adulterer, and a drunkard"? Imam Reda (as) replied, "I do know,
but when his last moment neared he willed to be buried under the shelter of my shrine, so I
request you to forgive him on my behalf." The Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib
forgave him and left. I awoke from my sleep in awe and woke up the other attendants and
related to them my dream. We all went to the place which I had seen in my dream, and
found a newly constructed grave, whose mud was scattered. After inquiry we learnt that a
Turkish man who had died was buried there the day before".

Haji Ali Baghdadi had the honour of meeting Imam Mahdi (as) and ask him some questions.
One of the questions put forward by him was that, "Is it true that a person who goes for the
pilgrimage (Ziyarah) to the shrine of Imam Hussain (as) on Friday night receives salvation"?
Imam Mahdi (as) replied, "Yes, by Allah". Haji Ali Baghdadi says that I saw tears in the eyes
of Imam Mahdi (as). Then I asked him another question, "In the year 1269 A.H. when we
went for the pilgrimage (Ziyarah) to the shrine of Imam Reda (as), we met a nomadic Arab
who was a native of Najaf. We invited him for a meal and asked him his views regarding the
reward of the love of Imam Reda (as). He replied, "Paradise", and said, "Since the past
fifteen days I have been the ZAIR (pilgrim) of Imam Reda (as), do Munkar and Nakir have
the nerve to come near me. The food which I consumed from the table of Imam Reda (as)
has turned into flesh and blood". I asked Imam Mahdi (as) whether his claim was true.
Imam Reda (as) replied, "Yes it is true. Imam Reda (as) himself will come and save him for
the questioning in the grave. For verily by Allah! My Grandfather is a Zaamin (Guarantor)
Imam".
