Miracles of Masoomeen

Tabari Imami has narrated through his chains of authorities from Alaa bin Muhriz that he said:

It informed about floods in Egypt, shortage of water in Mosul and earthquake in Urmiya due to which two mountains: Harith and Juwair crashed into each other. 

After that I (the narrator) witnessed a peculiar scene that the Imam broke up this stick into pieces and after a few moments the pieces joined together and became like it was before.
