His martyrdom is reported to be in [[148]]/[[765 CE|765]] in Medina.<ref>Mufīd, ''al-Irshād'', vol. 2, p. 180.</ref> Ibn Qutayba al-Dinawari recorded his demise in 146 AH,<ref>Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, ''Al-Maʿārif'', 1992 CE, p. 215.</ref> which is considered an error in the record.<ref>Pākatchī, " Imām Jaʿfar Ṣādiq (a)", p. 187.</ref>


There is no mention of the Imam's (a) martyrdom in many early Shi'i and Sunni sources,<ref>Pākatchī, " Imām Jaʿfar Ṣādiq (a)", p. 187.</ref> and some scholars, such as [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]], held that the Imam's (a) demise was a natural death. However, many scholars maintain that Imam al-Sadiq (a) was martyred, referring to the hadith which states that all the Imams (a) are martyred.<ref>Pākatchī, " Imām Jaʿfar Ṣādiq (a)", p. 187.</ref> Al-Shaykh al-Saduq clearly states that the Imam (a) was poisoned by al-Mansur al-Dawaniqi and passed away as a result.<ref>Ṣadūq, ''al-Iʿtiqādāt'', p. 98.</ref>  
There is a disagreement about the day and the month of the martyrdom of Imam al-Sadiq (a). The famous viewpoint of earlier Shia scholars is that it was on Shawwal, but but the day is not mentioned in earlier sources.{{cn}} However, later sources considered [[Shawwal 25]] ([[December 14]], [[765 CE|765]]) as the day of his martyrdom.<ref>Pākatchī, " Imām Jaʿfar Ṣādiq (a)", p. 187.</ref> In contrast to the famous viewpoint, it is quoted form ''[[Misbah al-Kaf'ami (book)|Misbah al-Kaf'ami]]'' in ''[[Bihar al-Anwar]]'' that Imam al-Sadiq (a) was martyred in [[Rajab 15]], but this report is not found in ''Misbah al-Kaf'ami''. <ref>See: Majlisī, ''Biḥār al-anwār'', 1403 AH, vol. 47, p. 2.</ref>


It is mentioned in ''[[Al-Fusul al-muhimma fi ta'lif al-umma (book)|al-Fusul al-muhimma]]'', ''[[Misbah al-Kaf'ami]]'' and other sources that Imam al-Sadiq (a) was given poison.<ref>Majlisī, ''Biḥār al-anwār'', vol. 47, p. 1-2.</ref> In ''[[al-Manaqib]]'', [[Ibn Shahrashub]] has written that [[al-Mansur]] gave him poison since he hated Imam (a) so much and feared that people would turn to him.<ref>Ibn Shahrāshūb, ''Manāqib Āl Abī Ṭālib'', vol. 4, p. 280.</ref>
[[Al-Shaykh al-Saduq]] clearly states that the Imam (a) was poisoned by [[al-Mansur al-Dawaniqi]] and passed away as a result.<ref>Ṣadūq, ''al-Iʿtiqādāt'', p. 98.</ref> [[Ibn Shahrashub]] in his ''[[al-Manaqib]]'', [[Muhammad b. Jarir al-Tabari al-Saghir|al-Tabari al-Saghir]] in ''[[Dala'il al-imama (book)|Dala'il al-imama]] and [[Al-Sayyid b. Tawus]] in his ''[[Iqbal al-a'mal (book)|Iqbal]]'' also expressed the same statement.<ref>Ibn Shahrāshūb, ''Manāqib Āl Abī Ṭālib'', 1379 AH, vol. 4, p. 280; Ṭabarī, ''Dalāʾil al-imāma'', 1413 AH, p. 246; Ibn Ṭāwūs, ''Iqbāl al-aʿmāl'', 1414 AH, vol. 1, p. 214.</ref> Yet [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] held that ther there is no decisive reason how he was martyred.<ref>Mufīd, ''Taṣḥīḥ al-'iʿtiqād'', 1413 AH, p. 131-32.</ref>


His martyrdom was on [[Shawwal 25]], [[148]]/[[December 14]], [[765 CE|765]] at the age of 65. Another report mentions his demise in the middle of [[Rajab]] or Shawwal. He was buried in the [[al-Baqi' Cemetery]] beside his father, [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]], his grandfather [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] and his uncle [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]].<ref>Ibn Shahrāshūb, ''Manāqib Āl Abī Ṭālib'', vol. 4, p. 210; Mufīd, ''al-Irshād'', vol. 2, p. 180.</ref> Ibn Qutayba has recorded his martyrdom in 146/764.<ref>Ibn Qutayba, ''al-Mʿārif'', p. 215.</ref> which is considered as an error.
He was buried in the [[al-Baqi' Cemetery]] beside his father, [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]], his grandfather [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] and his uncle [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]].<ref>Ibn Shahrāshūb, ''Manāqib Āl Abī Ṭālib'', vol. 4, p. 210; Mufīd, ''al-Irshād'', vol. 2, p. 180.</ref>
