Intention to harm

Miracles of Masoomeen

A group of Jews came to Imam Jafer Sadiq (a.s.) with queries pertaining to Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). Imam (a.s.) replied to their queries and asked them to ask Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s) who was then five years old to inform them about the miracles of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).
Imam Kazim (a.s.) said: When the Prophet (a.s.) migrated from Mecca, Queriesh sent Saraqa bin Jaitham to Medina to cause harm to him. When he saw him arrive, the Prophet (a.s.) prayed to Allah to protect him from the evil person. Suddenly the feet of the steed of the man got embedded into the ground and he cried, “ O Mohammed (a.s.)! Kindly come to my rescue! I shall never ever think of harming you!”The Prophet (a.s.) prayed to Allah that if the person was honest in what he said, then he must be relieved of his hardship. The feet of the horse came out of the ground and the person returned to Mecca.

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: ...
