Some talk about
Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) as though he was sick
all his life. Imam Sajjad (AS) became ill in Karbala from
the dawn of Tasua. If he had become ill in the afternoon of
Tasua he would have had to fight the holy war together with
the Infallible Imam, Imam Hossein (AS), otherwise, he would
be considered disobedient. In other words, Imam Zayn
al-Abidin (AS) became ill at the dawn of the 9th day of
Muharram before the day started so that there would be no
obligation for him to participate in the holy war. Imam
Sajjad (AS) was ill for around 27 to 30 hours and recovered
in the afternoon of Ashura. He was completely healthy on the
11th and 12th of Muharram since there was no longer any
obligation for holy war.
