There are different narrations and historical opinions regarding the person who martyred the Imam (a). Some sources have mentioned [[Hisham b.

Hasan who had strong hatred towards Imam al-Baqir (a) as the person who facilitated the plot for martyring him. In either case, Imam al-Baqir (a) was martyred during the caliphate of Hisham b. Abd al-Malik<ref>al-Ya'qubi, ''Tarikh al-Ya'qubi'', Vol.2, P.289</ref>, because his caliphate was from 108 until 125 AH (726 until 743) and the last year ever mentioned for the martyrdom of Imam al-Baqir (a) is 118 AH/736. | ||

There lies a possibility that several people cooperated in the martyrdom of Imam al-Baqir (a), as the reports refer to each of them. Regarding the violent behavior of Hisham towards Imam al-Baqir (a) and the undeniable enmity of [[Umayyads]] with Imam Ali's (a) descendants, there is no doubt that Hisham had strong motivation to play a role in the martyrdom of Imam al-Baqir (a) even if it were indirectly. | ||
Clearly, to have made his plot materialize, Hisham would have used trustworthy people. Therefore, he employed Ibrahim b. Walid who was an Umayyad and an enemy of the [[Ahl al-bayt (a)]], who could easily enter the home of Imam al-Baqir (a).

Walid who was an Umayyad and an enemy of the [[Ahl al-bayt (a)]], who could easily enter the home of Imam al-Baqir (a). Through him, the scheming plot of Hisham unfolded and Imam (a) was martyred. | ||
Imam al-Baqir (a) was buried beside his father's grave and the grave of [[Hasan b. 'Ali (a)]], his father's uncle in [[Al-Baqi' Cemetery]]<ref>al-Mufid, ''al-Irshad'', Vol.2, P.158; al-Tabari, ''Dala'il al-imama'', P.216; Ibn jawzi, ''Tazkirat al-khawass'', P.306</ref>. | Imam al-Baqir (a) was buried beside his father's grave and the grave of [[Hasan b.
