Childhood and youth of Imam Reza (AS)

Hazrat Reza (AS) spent his childhood and youth until 201 AH in Medina (intellectual and political life of Shiite Imams (AS), p. 426) who was the subject of revelation in the service of his noble father and was directly educated. He became the seventh Imam (AS) and taught him the sciences, knowledge, ethics and education that Imam (AS) had inherited from his fathers.
Imam Reza (AS) was adorned with high and excellent morals, and because of this they attracted general and special friendship. To say, they never stretched their legs in front of the companion, they never leaned in front of the companion, I never saw him laugh, but his laughter was a smile.
Cruelty of Imam Reza (AS):
Cruelty causes light and warmth in the family and the poor and is the best definition of Imam Reza (AS) who says: Man eats other people's food to eat his food, but man. The miser does not eat other people's food so that they do not eat his food. It is also narrated that Imam Reza (AS) distributed all his wealth among the needy on the day of Arafa for a year.

Self-esteem of Imam Reza (AS):
One of the ominous goals of Ma'mun from the issue of Imam Reza (AS)'s guardianship was to bring him to worldliness and prestige by bringing him closer to a glorious system and enjoying his material pleasures and blessings. To accuse; But the restraint of nature and self-respect of the eighth leader (AS) made Ma'mun's plan a reality.
Imam's (AS) after accepting the guardianship of the covenant, with complete disregard for the royal organization of Ma'mun, continued the simple and clean life of his pre-guardianship period and even against the policy of Ma'mun who tried to bring him into government affairs, He said: This has never been a blessing for me. When I was in Medina, my handwriting was influential in the East and the West. At that time, I was riding on a stream and walking the streets of Medina slowly and freely, and this state was dearer and more desirable to me than anything else.

Imam Reza (AS)'s educational and constructive attitudes:

In the eyes of Imam Reza (AS), all people had status and value and he respected them and considered the equality of human beings in rights, from humiliating and humiliating human beings and insulting and mocking them. , He prevented hard and shape, image, color, wealth, etc. were not the criteria for them, but man was respected and dear to him. Even slaves were taken care of and treated as human beings.

The eighth Imam of the Shiites was popular because of these moral and great qualities of his secretary. This popularity went so far that the Abbasid caliph saw his plans to destroy the character of Imam Reza (as) by infecting him with power. Eventually, due to the escalation of religious sentiments in favor of Imam Reza (AS) and the emergence of family disputes in the Abbasid family, that great Imam was poisoned and martyred by the plot of Ma'mun, the Abbasid caliph, and his holy body was buried near Tus. After many years, this shrine is the Kaaba of the people of the province from all over the world.
