Ali and Al-Hussein were martyred. As for Al-, it was said that he was killed by poisoning, but this has not been proven by legitimate evidence. Ali ibn Al-Hussein, Muhammad ibn Ali, Ja’far ibn Muhammad, Musa Al-Kadhim, Ali Al-Hadi, and Hasan Al-Askari died natural deaths. It was also said that Ali Al-Ridha died by poisoning. As for Muhammad Al-Jawad, he died in Baghdad, while no descendants are mentioned for Muhammad ibn Hasan Al-Askari.
