From Samarra to Baghdad in a split second

Miracles of Masoomeen

Ishaq Jallab said. “Once I bought a large number of sheep for Abul Hasan (a). He called and admitted me into the barn area of his house into a vast location that I could not recognize. He ordered me to distribute the sheep among certain people and of such people were Abu Ja’far and his mother and others. Thereafter I requested permission to leave for Baghdad to see my father. It was the day of Tarwiya (eighth of the month of Zilhajj).

He wrote to me, “Stay with us tomorrow thereafter leave.” I stayed that day and then it was the day of Arafah but I stayed with them that day as well as the tenth night in the balcony of his house. At dawn he came to me and said:

“O Ishaq, wake up.”

I got up.” The narrator said that I then opened my eyes and found myself at my own door in Baghdad. I went in and met my father and I was among my people and I told them I spent the day of Arafah in the army camp (Samarra) and for Eid I am in Baghdad.”

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: ...
