[[95]]/713) known as '''Imām al-Sajjād''' ({{iarabic|امام السجاد}}) and '''Zayn al-ʿAbidīn''' ({{iarabic|زين العابدين}}) is the fourth [[Imam]] of Shi'a. The period of his imamate was 34 years. He (a) was present in the [[Battle of Karbala]] but did not participate in the battle because of sickness and was not martyred. He (a) was taken captive to [[Kufa]] and [[Damascus]] together with other [[captives of Karbala]]. His speech at the presence of [[Umayyad caliph]]s created awareness among people about the position of the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. After being released, he (a) stayed in [[Medina]] until the end of his life. The [[event of Harra]], [[Tawwabun movement]] and the [[uprising of al-Mukhtar]] happened at his time, however there is no reliable report of his opinions about them.
