...He was proving the worthiness them to lead the Islamic society as well. It is narrated that one day Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) came upon Hisham bin Abdul Malik and did not greet him as the Caliph. Hisham was upset and ordered the people who were around him to blame the Imam. Then Hisham said to the Imam:

 “At any time, one of you has caused discord among the Muslims and called the people to himself”.

 After that, he reprimanded the Imam and ordered the people to blame him. Meanwhile, the Imam turned to the people and said:

 (O People! where are you going? Where are you being driven? You were guided by us Ahl al-Bayt in the beginning, and eventually your work will also end with us. If you take control of affairs now, At the end of the work, the administration of the Islamic Ummah and its affairs will be in our hands, because we are a family whose end is with them, God says: "The end of the work belongs to the pious".[1]

Hisham ordered the arrest of Imam. Those who were in prison with him were impressed and fascinated by him. When Hisham became aware of this matter, he said: Let the Imam be returned to Madinah.

Also, in another example, as we read in the Shia sources, it is stated that Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) was called to Damascus with his son Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) and was humiliated there, in order that the thought of government and opposition would be removed from his head...

اَیُّهَا النَّاسُ! أَیْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ وَ أَیْنَ یُرَادُ بِکُمْ؟ بِنُا هُدَی اللهِ اَوّلِکُمْ وَ بِنَا خَتَمَ آخِرُکُمْ، فَإِنْ یَکُنْ لَکُمْ مَلَکٌ مُعَجَّلٌ، فَاِنَّ لَنَا مَلَکٌ مُؤَجّلا وَ لَیْسَ بَعْدَ مُلْکِنَا مَلَکٌ، لِأَنَّا أَهْلُ بَیْتِ الْعَاقِبَةِ، یَقُولُ اللّهِ: [وَ الْعاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِینَ]
