Fruits grew in the desert

Miracles of Masoomeen

Ammara bin Zaid says: I travelled to Mecca in the company of Imam Ali Reza (a) and a slave of mine accompanied me. On the way my slave fell ill and he requested me to get him some grapes. The place where he made the demand was a desert and sand dunes lay everywhere.

Suddenly Imam Ali Reza (a) sent a message through his slave, “Your slave wanted grapes. Look before you and feed those grapes to him.”

When I looked before me, I saw a splendid orchard of grapes and pomegranates. We gathered the fruits from there and continued to eat them till we reached Mecca. After that we took some of the remaining fruits to Baghdad and I reported this incident to Laith bin Saad and Ibrahim bin Saad Jauhari. They met Imam Ali Reza (a) after some time and when they mentioned my story to them he testified its veracity.

Imam (a) said,

“That orchard is not far away from you two as well.”

When they looked around they observed that they were in an orchard containing all kinds of fruits and delicacies. They ate the delectable things and stored some as well.

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: ...
