Curing the fever by his presence

Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) said, “That person was running a high temperature when Imam Husain (a) paid him a visit. As soon as the Imam stepped into his house, his temperature normalized.”

He said: “Almighty Allah has bestowed a great many blessings on you. The fever disappears at your arrival.”

Imam Husain (a) said, “Almighty Allah has commanded everything He has created to obey us.”

The narrator says though we could not see the speaker, but we could hear his voice and he was saying: “Indeed, you are right!”

Imam Husain (a) said, “Did Amirul Momineen (a) not forbid you to approach anyone other than our enemies or our sinful followers to have their sins forgiven? What is the fault of this poor man, why are you harassing him?”

The narrator says that the ailing man in this case was Abdullah bin Shaddad bin Hadi Laishi.
