Man turning into a Crow

Miracles of Masoomeen
One day, Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) said in his discourse:

“I am the brother of the Messenger of Allah and his cousin, inheritor of his knowledge and repository of his secrets. I know all whatever the Prophet acted and what he wanted and nothing is concealed from me. I am aware of all that moves and what goes into the earth and what soars up, about those clouds which darken and rain falls and when it returns and when it goes away; and I reply in detail to whoever poses a question.”

Hilal bin Naufal Kindi fell into thought and asked due to his malice: “O Ameerul Momineen, do not go away from the reality; fear the descent of calamities and hardships (that is do not make lofty claims)!” Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) said: “Go to Saqar!” The narrator says: “By God, the statement of His Eminence did not conclude, but that he turned into a black and white crow.”

On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
