It was said that he (was imprisoned because he refused) to undertake the judiciary or to show (the authorities) the places of the Shï'ites and the followers of Imam Musa b. Ja'far, peace be on him.

I think that you will be blind because of your long prostration in prayer.' When he said this (statement) many times, he said to him: 'Woe unto you! You have said that several times! If someone became blind out of prostration, then Ibn Abu` 'Umayr would be blind. What is your view of a man who prostrated after the dawn prayer and did not raise his head until the sun came near to descending (from its midday zenith)?'"

Al-Fadl said: "One day my father (shaykh) took me hand and took me to Ibn Abu` 'Umayr. We went to him in a room. There were shaykhs around him, and they magnified and honored him, so I (al-Fadl) asked: 'Who is that (man)?' 'That is Ibn Abu` 'Umayr,' replied me father. 'Is he the righteous, worshipful man?' I asked. 'Yes,' he replied."
Al-Fadl narrated, saying: "Ha`ru`n (al-Rashï~d) ordered Ibn Abu` 'Umayr to be whipped one hundred and twenty times. It was al-Sindi b. Sha`hik who whipped him and imprisoned him, for he was a Shï'ite. Ibn Abu` 'Umayr gave (al-Sindi) one hundred and twenty thousand dirhams, and he released him. 'Was he rich?' I asked. 'Yes,' he answered, 'perhaps he gave him five hundred thousand dirhams.

When the speech between him and me took a long time, I said to him: 'If you leader (
sahib) is in such a position about which you talk, then let him pray to Allah for me, that I may return to your creed.'"
He (Yazïd b. Isha`q) said: [Mohammed said to me:] "So I went in to al-Rida`, peace be on him, and said to him: 'May I be your ransom, I have a brother younger than me and he says: 'By your father's life.' I often debates with him, so he said to me one day: 'If your leader is in such a position which you have mentioned, then ask him to supplicate
