Auspiciousness of seeing the Imam

Miracles of Masoomeen
Ali Ibne Abdul Ghaffar said:
The Abbasids went to Salih bin Wasif when Imam Hasan Askari (a) was imprisoned. They told him: “Be hard on him. Don’t give him any ease.”
“What can I do with him?” Salih asked, “I entrusted him to two of the evilest men I could find. They have become men of worship, prayer and fasting to an amazing extent”
Then he ordered those two men who had been put in charge of the Imam to be brought there. He said to them:
“Shame on you! What is your involvement in the affairs of this man?”
They answered: “What can we say about a man who fasts through the day and stands in prayer through the night, who does not speak and occupies himself with nothing except worship? When he looks at us, our limbs shake and within us is a feeling, which we have never had.”
When the Abbasids heard that, they left in despair.

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: ...
