There are different narrations and historical opinions regarding the person who martyred Imam al-Baqir (a). Some sources have mentioned [[Hisham b. Abd al-Malik]] as the one who martyred him<ref>Kafʿamī, ''al-Miṣbāh'', p. 691.</ref>. Some have accused Ibrahim b. al-Walid as the person who poisoned the Imam (a)<ref>Ṭabarī, ''Dalāʾil al-Imāma'', p. 216; Ibn Shahrāshūb, ''Manāqib'', Vol. 4, P. 228.</ref>. Some narrations have considered [[Zayd b. al-Hasan]] as the person who facilitated the plot for martyring the Imam (a). In either case, Imam al-Baqir (a) was martyred during the caliphate of Hisham b. 'Abd al-Malik<ref>Yaʿqūbī, ''Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī'', vol. 2, p. 289.</ref>, because his caliphate was from 108/726-7 until 125/742-3 and the last year ever mentioned for the martyrdom of Imam al-Baqir (a) is 118/736.{{citation needed}} | There are different narrations and historical opinions regarding the person who martyred Imam al-Baqir (a).

Although the reports are seemingly different, it is not impossible that they could all be correct to a certain degree. 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 b. 'Abd al-Malik 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 was indirectly. Clearly, to have made his plot materialize, Hisham would have used trustworthy people. Therefore, he employed Ibrahim b. al-Walid who was an Umayyad and an enemy of the [[Ahl al-bayt (a)]], who could use a person who could easily enter the home of Imam al-Baqir (a). Through him, the scheming plot of Hisham unfolded and Imam (a) was martyred.{{citation needed}} | Although the reports are seemingly different, it is not impossible that they could all be correct to a certain degree.
