With his precious sayings and actions, Imam ‘Alī b. Mūsā al-Rizā (A.S.) has provided his companions and followers with lessons of bravery, self-sacrifice, and martyrdom-seeking in two direct and indirect ways. Searching into and introducing this dimension of the magnanimous Imam’s personality, to which little attention has been paid, along with introducing some of his companions who lived brave and self-sacrificed lives, can enhance truth-seeking and self-sacrifice spirit in the followers and devotees of the learned of the Prophet’s (S.A.W.) Household (A.S.).
