Standing in respect of Imam (a.s.)’s honor

Miracles of Masoomeen

When His Eminence sat down they condemned each other why they had stood up? So they decided not do so again. However, when His Eminence again entered, they automatically stood up in honor.

One day, Abu Hashim Ja’fari said to them: “You had decided not to stand up?” They replied: “By God, we were unable to stop ourselves from standing up automatically.”
