Milk instead of blood

It is narrated from a Christian cupping expert who served in the army:
“One day at noon Imam Hasan Askari (a) sent for me at the time of Noon Prayer and told me to perform cupping on his vein. He showed me a vein that was not known to me as one of the veins used for cupping.
I thought to myself, “I have not seen anything stranger than this. To perform cupping at noon, which is not the time for it and on a vein that I do not know.”
He told me, “Wait in the house.”
When it was evening he called me and said, “Open the vein.” I opened the vein.
He said, “Hold it” I held the vein and stopped the blood.”
He then told me to remain in the house. At midnight he called me and said to open the vein. He said: It increased my astonishment, but I did not like to ask him. I opened the vein and white blood like salt came out. He said that he told me to stop it and I stopped it. He said: He told me to remain in the house.
In the morning he ordered his clerk to pay me three Dinars. I took the Dinars and left.
I then went to see Bakhtishu, who was a Christian, and told him the whole story.
The narrator said: He said, “By Allah, I do not understand what you say and I do not know anything about medicine. I have not read any such thing in the books. I do not know anyone more knowledgeable in Christianity than so and so, a Persian man. Go to him.”
He said: I then hired a boat and went to Basra then to Ahwaz and to Persia to the man I was looking for.
I explained to him the story. He asked me to give him time. I waited for a few days and then went to him for an answer.
He said, “What you say this man did is something that Jesus had done only once in his life.”
Then the monk returned to the service of Imam Hasan Askari (a) and continued to serve him all his life.

Incident of Ibne Mahziyar Ahwazi

Ali Ibne Ibrahim bin Mahziyar narrates one year when the Hajj season arrived, I prepared for the journey and set out to Medina. 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: ...
