Ibne Shahr Ashob has narrated
from Dawood Neeli that he said:
I went for Hajj in the
company of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.). On the way, the time of Noon Prayer
arrived. Imam (a.s.) said: “Dawood, move out of my way, so
that I may prepare for the ritual prayer.” I said: “May I be sacrificed
on you, how would you prepare for ritual prayer in this dry desert?” He replied:
“Keep quiet and don’t interfere in this matter.” So I left the way and reached
a dry piece of land. His Eminence hit his foot on the ground. Cool water gushed
out from there. I and His Eminence performed ablution and prayed the ritual
prayer.
There was a dried up date
tree drooping on the ground. While walking the Imam (a.s.) asked:
“Dawood, would you like to have some dates?” “Yes,” I
said. I saw him hit his hand on the tree and shake it. He brought out dates
from it and gave me to eat. Then he hit his blessed hand upon and said: “Revert
to your previous condition.” The tree assumed its former condition.
