The great scholar, Saffar, in
Basair, has narrated from Abu Basir that he said:
I went to Imam Muhammad Baqir
(a.s.) and Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) and asked: “Are you the heirs of His
Eminence, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.)?” “Yes,” they replied.
Abu Basir says: I asked: “Is
the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) heir of all prophets and possessed all their
sciences and perfections?” “Yes,” they said. So I asked: “Can you enliven the
dead and cure the born blind?” They replied: “Yes, by the permission of God.”
Thus, [one of the Imams]
said: “Come here.” I went to His Eminence. He passed his hand over my eyes and
face. I was able to see and I saw the sun, sky, earth, house and everything
present in the house. Then he said: “If you want, you can be seeing and your
accounting would be upon you; if you do good, you will get its reward; if you
do evil, you will be punished for the same. Or [if you want] you can revert to
your former condition of blindness and your reward shall be Paradise?”
Abu Basir says that he
requested: “Return me to my previous condition.” Again, Imam (a.s.) passed his
hand on my eyes and I reverted to my previous condition.
Ali bin Hakam says: “I
narrated this tradition to Ibne Abi Umair. He said: I testify that this is
truth, like a bright day and there is no doubt in it.”
