Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the miracle of blood

The miracle of blood’s precedent is that, one day the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) bled himself and gave the blood to Abu Saeed Khudri and asked him to bury it, but he drank it. His Eminence (s.a.w.a.) asked: What did you do with the blood? He said: I drank it. His Eminence (s.a.w.a.) said: I told you to bury it. He said: I have kept it in a safe vessel. His Eminence (s.a.w.a.) said: Never do this again. After sometime, His Eminence (s.a.w.a.) said: O Abu Saeed! Allah has made your blood and flesh unlawful on Hellfire because my blood and flesh has mixed up in it. Hearing this, forty hypocrites laughed on His Eminence (s.a.w.a.) and said: He thinks that on account of mixing his blood in the blood of Khudri he would be free from Hellfire. Though he is a liar and we consider his blood impure. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) came to know this by divine revelation and he said: Allah will subject them to the punishment of blood and destroy them in it even though the Copts were not killed by the punishment of blood. After sometime, their nose and molars started bleeding. Their blood was mixing in their food and water and they were eating like that. They suffered this for forty days and then perished.

Ali Ibne Ibrahim bin Mahziyar narrates one year when the Hajj season arrived, I prepared for the journey and set out to Medina. When I reached Medina, I inquired from the people about the descendants of Imam Hasan Askari (a), but could not get any information. I was very much worried and at last set out for Mecca. 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: ...
