Enlivening a dead

Imam Reza (a.s.) asked a person: “What is the sign of Imamate according to you?”

Imam (a.s.) said: “Thus, I do all this. As for what you have concealed is five dinars. Your wife is also dead since one year. I enlivened her at this moment and she will remain with you for a year.” 

The same thing happened and the destiny of that woman also became as the Imam had said.
