Prediction of attack on Medina

Miracles of Masoomeen

Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) said: My father (a.s) was present in a gathering and continued to look down for a long time then raised his head and said, 

“O people, what would be your condition when a person would attack your town with a 4000-strong army, who would continue to ravage your place for three days at a stretch? 

He would slay your every fighting man and humiliate and degrade you, while you won’t be able to defend yourself. So prepare for your defense from now only and know that what I told you would surely come to pass.” 

The people of Medina paid no heed to his statements and said: It would never happen! Except for Bani Hashim people and few other persons no one tried to find a place of refuge. Thus, some Bani Hashim people and few other persons who regarded his statement true left Medina. 

Then during those days Nafe bin Azraq attacked Medina suddenly; he killed the Medinans and raped their women. After that the people of Medina said: Now we would never belie any statement of Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) and do what he says, because he is the member of Ahle Bayt of prophethood and whatever he says is based on truth.

When I reached Medina, I inquired from the people about the descendants of Imam Hasan Askari (a), but could not get any information. I was very much worried and at last set out for Mecca. 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: ...
