Counseling Ali bin Husain bin Hamadan

Ali Ibne Muhammad Shamshati the messenger of Ja’far Ibne Ibrahim Yamani that he said:
I was at Baghdad as the caravan of the Yemen is prepared to leave. I wrote to seek permission to leave with them. The answer came, “Do not go with them. There is no benefit for you in leaving. Stay at Kufa.”
The caravan left and the tribe of the Hanzalas raided and looted them. I wrote and sought permission to go by the sea. The answer came, “Do not do that.” No ship sailed that year but was raided by the pirates. I went to perform Ziyarat at Askar.
I was at the Masjid, when a page came to me and said: “Come.” I asked, “Who am I and where am I going to’?” He said: “You are Ali Ibne Muhammad the messenger of Ja’far Ibne Ibrahim Yamani. Come to the house.”
This was while none of our friends knew about my arrival. I went to the house and sought permission to perform Ziyarat from the inside. I was granted permission.

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: ...
