Obedience of Well and Tree to the order of Imam Sadiq (a.s.)

Dawood Raqqi says:
We reached a deep well in the company of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), which did not have any water. Imam came near the well and said: “O hearing well, who is obedient to the command of its Lord; give us water.”

Dawood says: By God, I saw water gush up from the bottom of the well till it reached the surface and the Imam and all of us drank from it.

Mufaddal and Dawood say: We remarked: This is similar to the miracle of Musa bin Imran. After that we reached a dried up date tree. He said: “O tree, give us to eat.” Fresh dates came out of that tree and we consumed them.

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: ...
