Tabari Imami has, through his authorities, narrated from Qays bin Rabi that he said:
Once I visited Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) and during that when it was time for the Isha Prayer the Imam prayed and along with him I also worshipped.
After that he moved a brick fixed to the wall and pulled out a well laid dinner spread from it. All kinds of foods were present over it and he spread it out before me and said: “Have it; it is a special sustenance that Almighty Allah had deemed for His friends.”
Thus, the Imam and I ate from that food. After I finished the Imam picked up the spread and inserted it back into the brick.
Doubts developed in mind on witnessing this miracle. After sometime when the Imam arose and went out for some errand, I got up and removed that brick and looked closely. It was a small brick and nothing resembling a dinner spread was present there. After sometime the Imam returned to the guest room and he sensed my inner thoughts. Again he got up and moved the brick a little bit and from it removed bowls and a pot of water.
He had it himself and gave it to me as well. After that he fixed that brick in its original place and said, “You are also like those Jews, who used to witness miracles of Christ with their own eyes, but were still not satisfied.” After that when he commanded the brick to speak, it spoke up by the permission of God.
