Valley of Water


Imam Ali (a.s.) narrates that when we moving towards Khyber we came across a valley which was full of water. The water was deep to extent of height of fourteen men. People informed Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that the enemy is behind us and the valley is in front. This incident is similar to what the nation of Hazrat Moosa (a.s.) said to him that the Nile is in front of us and the army of Firaun is behind us. We will be definitely caught.
At that moment, Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) alighted from his mount and said: O Creator! You have given a miracle to every Prophet. Manifest your Power. Then he mounted his mount and rode on the water. Everyone traversed the valley. The feet of the horses and the camels did not become wet.

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: ...
