Baqir Sharif al-Qurashi writes about the situation of Imam Hadi (a.s) in Samarra: Imam Hadi (AS) during this time when he was in Samarra (until he was martyred) was always under economic siege, if someone wanted to pay his “Wajibat” or give a gift to Imam, He saw the worst punishments. Imam Hadi was going through hard times. No one could visit him, and Mutawakel imprisoned Imam and his wife for some time.
