Gold flowing from hand

It is narrated that a man brought a huge quantity of money for Imam Ali Reza (a.s.); but he saw that the Imam was not pleased on receiving it. Therefore, he was disappointed and said to himself: “I brought such a huge quantity of money to His Eminence, but he didn’t display any joy on receiving it.”

His Eminence ordered his servant to bring jug and the water pail, and himself sat on a stool. He said: “Servant, pour water on my hands.” When the water was poured, that man saw gold pouring out from the hands of Imam (a.s.). At that moment Imam (a.s.) glanced at him and said: “These monies are not important in the view of one who is as such.”

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: ...
