Witness of a Lizard

Miracles of Masoomeen
A Bedouin concealed a lizard in his sleeve and came to meet the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) and said: I will not accept faith till this lizard speaks up!

The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: “Who am I, lizard?” “Muhammad bin Abdullah”, it replied. “Almighty Allah has chosen you and made you as your beloved. You are the messenger of the Lord of the worlds and embellishment of His creation on Judgment Day. Successful is one, who brought faith on you.”

That Bedouin embraced faith and when he returned home, he gathered his relatives and narrated the incident to them. Some of them brought faith due to the auspiciousness of that lizard.

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: ...
