Birth of the Holy Imam

Miracles of Masoomeen

It is narrated on the authority of Ali Ibne Maysam from his grandmother that:

“I heard Najma, the mother of Imam Reza (a), say, ‘When I was pregnant with my son Ali, I did not feel any burden. I used to hear God’s praises, glorification and supplications from my stomach when I slept. I got scared hearing these sounds and woke up to hear nothing more when I was awake. Once I gave birth to my child, he put both of his hands on the ground, and raised his head towards the sky and moved his lips as if he was saying something.’

His father, Musa Ibne Ja’far (a) came to me said, ‘O Najma! Congratulations for this Divine blessing that God has bestowed upon you.” Then I wrapped the baby in a white cloth and handed him to Imam Kazim (a). He said the Adhaan in his right ear and the Iqamah in his left. Then he asked for some water from the Euphrates River and gave the infant Imam some of it. Then he gave the baby back to me and said:

“Take him. He is God’s remnant on the Earth.”

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: ...
