Imam Baqir's (AS) Era
During the life of Imam Baqir (AS), the same line continued. The
situation improved to some extent during this era. During this period
too the emphasis was mainly laid on the Islamic, religious teachings.
First of all, the previous heedlessness and disrespect of the people to
the Progeny of the holy Prophet was not observed. When Imam Baqir (AS)
enters the mosque, groups of the people always encircle him to listen to

Al-Baqir Muhammad b. Ali
b. al-Husayn, peace be on them, was out of (all) his brothers the
successor of his father, Ali b. al-Husayn, his testamentary trustee (wasi),
and the one who undertook (qaim) the office of Imam after him. He
surpassed all of them through his outstanding merit (fadl) in
traditional knowledge (ilm), asceticism and leadership. He was the most
renowned of them, the one among them who was most esteemed by both non-Shia
(amma) and Shia (khassa), and the most able of them. None of the sons of
al- Hasan and al-Husayn, peace be on them, showed the same ability in
knowledge of religion, traditions, the sunna, the knowledge of the
Qur'an and the life of the Prophet (sira), and the techniques of
literature, as Abu- Jafar (Muhammad al-Baqir) showed. The surviving
Companions (of the Prophet), the leading members of the next generation
(tabieun) and the leaders of the Muslim jurists reported the principal
features (ma'alim) of religion on his authority.
