Witness of a Tree

Miracles of Masoomeen
Shaykh Tabarsi has narrated from Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) that he said: 
One day in holy Mecca the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) summoned a tree towards himself. That tree arrived while each of its branches was intoning divine praise and glorification. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: “Split into two.” They saw it split into two. 

After that he (s.a.w.a.) said to the two parts: “Join together.” People saw those two parts joining each other. Then he (s.a.w.a.) said: “O tree, testify for my prophethood and messengership.” It testified. 

Then he (s.a.w.a.) said: “Go back to your place reciting divine praise and glorification.”

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: ...
