Staff of Imam (a.s.) witnessed about his Imamat

Muhammad bin Abi Alaa asked Yahya bin Aqsam about the sciences of Aale Muhammad (a.s.). He replied:
I was circling the tomb of Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) when Imam Jawad (a.s.) also arrived and began to circumambulate. I asked His Eminence a number of questions and he replied. Then I asked: 

I want to ask you something, but I am ashamed to do so. His Eminence replied: “Don’t ask me, I will reply to you. What you want to ask me is: Who is the Imam?” I said: “By God, I intended this only.” His Eminence said: “I am the Imam.” I asked: “What is its sign?” Suddenly I heard the staff in the hand of His Eminence say in a clear voice: My master is the Imam and Divine Proof.
