Getting Abu Sult released from the prison

Miracles of Masoomeen
Mamun said, ‘O Aba Salt! Tell me the words you recited which caused the big fish to swallow the little fish. Teach them to me.’ I (Aba Salt) replied, ‘By God, I have forgotten them now.’
I had said the truth but he ordered that I be thrown into jail.
They buried Imam Reza (a) and I stayed in jail for one year. I had a very hard time in jail. One night I could not go to sleep. I stayed up and prayed to God the Blessed the Highest. I kept mentioning Muhammad (s) and his Household (s). I kept asking God for a happy ending. Before finishing my prayers Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibne Ali (a) entered and said,
‘O Aba Salt! Is your breast straitened?’
I said, ‘By God! Yes.’
Aba Ja’far (a) said, ‘Stand up and leave here along with me.’
Aba Ja’far (a) placed his hands to the chains on me and they all opened up. He took my hands and brought me out of jail, while the prison guards were watching us but did not have the power to say a word.
Aba Ja’far (a) told me, ‘Go. I entrust you to God! Know that you will never again encounter Mamun. Neither will Mamun ever find you.’”
Aba Salt added, “Mamun has not found me up until now.”

When I reached Medina, I inquired from the people about the descendants of Imam Hasan Askari (a), but could not get any information. I was very much worried and at last set out for Mecca. 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: ...
