 Upon the return of Imam al-Jawad (a) from Baghdad to Medina, a group of people accompanied Imam (a) out of Medina to see him off. By the time of [[Maghrib prayer]], they arrived a place where an old mosque was located. Imam (a) went to that mosque to do his prayer. There was a cedar tree in the yard of that mosque which had not borne any fruits until that time. Imam (a) asked for some water and made [[Wudu]] beside that tree and then led a [[congregational prayer]] there and after the prayer made a Sajda of gratitude. He (a) then said goodbye to people and went away. The next day, the tree borne so much fruit and people became so surprised of that. It is narrated from [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] that he saw this tree many years later and ate from its fruits.

 About the cause of his martyrdom, it is said that Ibn Abi Duwad, the judge of Baghdad slandered against Imam (a) after Imam's (a) opinion about cutting the hand of a thief was accepted and Ibn Abi Duwad and many other jurists and courtiers were discredited. After caliph was influenced by the words of the judge, he decided to kill Imam (a) while he (a) was just 25 years old. Mu'tasim used one of his ministers and poisoned Imam (a) and martyred him. However, some believe that Imam (a) was poisoned by Umm Fadl, daughter of Mu'mun.
-Sheikh Mufid (d. 413 AH) said, "even though some have said that Imam (a) was martyred by poison; however, this has not been proved to me so that I can swear about it." But Mas'udi (d. 346 AH) said, "Mu'tasim and Ja'far b. Ma'mun (brother of Umm al-Fadl, wife of Imam al-Jawad (a)) were always thinking about killing Imam (a). Since Imam (a) did not have any child from Umm al-Fadl and his son Ali (a) was from his other wife, Ja'far induced his sister to poison Imam (a). This way, they poisoned grapes and Imam (a) ate from them." Mas'udi continues that afterwards, Umm al-Fadl became so regretful of her work and cried so much and Imam (a) cursed her and she was afflicted with a severe illness."
