Conversing in Chinese language


Badr, a slave of Imam Raza (a.s.) narrates that Ishaq Ibne Ammar came in the presence of  Imam Moosa Ibne Jafar (a.s.). 

At that moment a person of Khorasan came to Imam (a.s.) and started speaking to him in a language which seemed to be language of birds. Imam (a.s.) replied to his query in the same language. 

After receiving the reply, he left. Ishaq asked Imam (a.s.) about the person and his language. Imam (a.s.) replied that he was from China and all Chinese do not speak in the language he spoke. 

Imam (a.s.) asked Ishaq, "Are you surprised by the language? I will tell you something which is more surprising than this." 

Imam (a.s.) continued, "Know that, surely an Imam knows the language of the birds and the language of all the creatures who possesses soul which are created by Allah. Nothing is hidden from Imam (a.s.).
