Qutub Rawandi has narrated
from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) from Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) from Imam
Husain (a.s.) that he said:
“We were in the
company of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.). There was a dry pomegranate tree near us.
Some hypocrites came to us while some loyalists and believers were also present
there. Ameerul
Momineen (a.s.) said:
“Today, I would show
you a sign and an example of the table of food of Bani Israel, which Prophet
Isa (a.s.) asked from Almighty Allah.”
Then he said: “Look at this
dried tree.” When we looked, we saw wetness of water start to flow in the dried
shoots and it became green and pomegranates grew up on it. Imam (a.s.) said to
his friends: “You can eat from it.”
Imam Husain (a.s.) says:
“We recited: In the
name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful and ate. We had never consumed such
sweet and delicious pomegranates.”
His Eminence said to our
enemies: “Stretch out your hands and eat it.” They
stretched out their hands to pluck the fruits, but the branches went up and
they were unable to take the fruits. They said: “O Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) why
these people were able and we are unable to eat?” He (a.s.) replied:
“It is as such in
Paradise also. None would reach the bounties of Paradise, except our loyalists
and none would be removed from there, except our enemies.”
When the hypocrites came out,
they said: “This is the sorcery of Ali Ibne Abi Talib.” Salman asked: “What do
you say? This is sorcery? Can’t you see?”
