Conversing in different languages

Miracles of Masoomeen
I (i.e. Abū Ḥamza) heard Abū Muḥammad (al-Ḥasan al-‘Askarī) speaking on more than one occasion to his servants in their own languages. Among them were Turks, men from Byzantium and from Ṣaqāliba (in the Caucasus).

He knows languages, genealogies and events. If it wasn’t for that, there would be no difference between the proof and those who are given the proof.”


(Kitab Al Irshad, Chapter on Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.)Al-Kāfī, I, 509, tradition no. 11)

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: ...
