His body was prepared for burial by his son the Twelveth Imam AI-Mehdi Al-Muntathar and was buried next to the grave of his father the Imam Al-Hadi in Samarra northern Iraq where his shrine stands now.
His noble and excellent personality is well-known to Muslims. His physical form was perfectly shaped and spiritually he was just like his great grandfather The Holy Prophet(pbuh).
Ismael narrates the following:
"Once I sitting on the path waiting for the Imam to pass by and when he did, I started complaining of my difficulties and asked him for some financial help." The Imam said,
"You swear by Allah(SWT) falsely, because you have already buried one hundred Dinars as a saving. What I say is not to deny you financial help. Boys, give him all the money with you."
He was well-known to the Christians as having all the human perfections like the Prophet Jesus(as) had.
The Imam would worship Allah(swt) a lot and his personality was quite majestic.
