And finally Imam “a.s.” was compelled to accept this position under Al-Mamoon’s threats. with great sadness and gloomy heart, he accepted the crown prince position on Ramadhan 201A.H. but he “a.s.” stipulated, that he should never interfere in any of the decisions of the government, and Al-Ma'moon responded to this condition.
Na ilipofika siku ya tarehe 7 ya mwezi mtukufu wa Ramadhani katika mwaka wa miambili na moja (201) baada ya hijira ilikuwa ni siku ngumu na nzito kwa Imamu pale alipolazimika kuukubali uongozi huo wa pamoja, yaani yeye na Maamuni washirikiane kuendesha uongozi kwa kile alichokikusudia Maamun ya kwamba Imamu angekuwa ni mrithi wake wa uongozi baada yake yeye, lakini japokuwa Imamu alikubaliana na Maamun lakini alitoa sharti kwamba yeye asingejiingiza wala kujihusisha kwa namna yoyote na uongozi huo na Maamun, na walikubalina na sharti hilo.
