Tree obeying the command of Imam (a.s.)

They have narrated that one day Imam Musa bin Ja’far (a.s.) explained to a pious worshipper position of Wilayat and Caliphate of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) and his purified descendants, till the mention of their names reached himself and His Eminence fell silent. That man asked: “May I be sacrificed on you, who is the Divine Proof and Imam on the creatures today?” He replied: “Would you accept, if I tell you?” He asked: “Yes, I would definitely accept.” His Eminence said: “I am the proof of God and the true Imam.”

He asked: “May I be sacrificed on you, give me the proof and evidence of your statement.”

His Eminence replied:
“Go to that tree and say: Musa bin Ja’far commands you: Come to me.”

He went and mentioned this. The tree came and stood up near them. His Eminence gestured to it to return and it returned. That pious man also confessed to the Imamate of His Eminence.

On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. 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: ...
