3. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (p) was asked by Humran about the persecution
of Imam Ali (p), Imam al-Hasan (p) and Imam al-Husayn (p), and their
steadfastness in the defence of the Religion of God. The Imam (p)
upon hearing this said: God, the Glorious and Exalted, had destined
these events to happen to them. They were aware of what the future
held for them. This information was given to them by the Prophet
Muhammad (p). Therefore, Imam Ali (p), Imam al-Hasan (p), and Imam
al-Husayn (p) remained steadfast. Among us whoever was told to remain
silent, did remain silent.
