Assisting a wolf

Miracles of Masoomeen
Muhammad bin Muslim says: I travelled to Mecca in the company of Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s). I was mounted on a donkey, while the Imam was riding a mule. Suddenly I decried a wolf rushing to us from the top of a hill. 

When the Imam noticed that wolf, he stopped and it came to the Imam right away. It placed its paw on the saddle of the Imam’s saddle and started communicating with the Imam. 

Imam (a.s) bent down to hear him and then said, “I have done that; you may go back now.” 

The wolf sped away from there. After that I asked, “Maula, today I witnessed a great miracle of divine power!” 

He said, “What did he convey?”

“God, Messenger and the son of Messenger know better,” said I. He said, “He told me that his female was having a difficult child birth, so would I please pray to God for a safe delivery and also that God does not make any wolf attack my Shia. So I prayed as per his request.”

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: ...
