Informing Marwan about the sign of his anger

Miracles of Masoomeen

In Ihtijaaj, Tabarsi has narrated through Muhammad bin Saib that he said: One day Marwan bin Hakam asked Imam Husain (a),

“If you did not have the support of the excellence of your mother, Fatima, on what basis would you have boasted to us?”

Imam Husain (a) was infuriated at his audacity. He arose and taking his turban tied it around his neck and tightened it so much that he was almost strangled to death and he fell down unconscious. After that Imam (a) glanced at the people of Quraish and said, “I adjure you by God, if I am right, please testify in my support. Tell me did the Messenger of Allah (s) love anyone more than my brother and me?”

All said, “You and your brother were the most beloved of the Prophet.”

He asked, “Now, tell me whether the Prophet hated anyone more than Marwan and his father?”

“These two were the most hated fellows in view of the Prophet,” replied the people.

Then he said, “The sign of my veracity is that when he gets up after being infuriated, his wrap would fall off from his shoulder.”

In a few moments Marwan arose in furious mood; and just as he does so, the sheet on his shoulder dropped.

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: ...
