Apple from rocks

Miracles of Masoomeen

Jabir Jofi has narrated: I travelled to Hira in the company of Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) and when we reached Karbala, the Imam said, 

“Jabir this land is one of the gardens of Paradise for us and our Shia and one of the ditches of Hell for our enemies.” 

Then he glanced at me and said, “Jabir, would you like to eat something?” 

“Yes, my lord,” I replied. 

So the Imam inserted his hand into the rocks removed an apple and gave it to me. When I smelled that apple, I realized that I had never before perceived such a fragrance, and that told me that it was an apple of Paradise. Thus, after I had consumed that apple, I did not require food for the next forty days and neither did I need to visit the washroom.

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: ...
