He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was born in 80 AH and was a Ḥusaynī sayyid. In terms of his lineage, he is the son of Imam Muḥammad Bāqir رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, grandson of Imam Zayn al-ꜤĀbidīn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, and great grandson of Sayyid al-Shuhadāˈ Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. Another amazing point regarding his family background is his honourable mother Sayyidah Umm Farwah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا descending from the first Caliph of the Muslims, Sayyidunā Abū Bakr Ṣiddīq   رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ.

This makes Imam JaꜤfar Ṣādiq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ Ḥusayni through his blessed father and Ṣiddīqī from his blessed mother.^[1]

The great imam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ lived for 68 years and passed away on the 15^th of Rajab in 148 AH. He is buried in Jannat al-BaqīꜤ.^[2]

He then began saying یَارَبَّاہٗ, and again repeated یَارَبَّاہٗ یَارَبَّاہٗ until his breath ran short.
