News of the unseen

Muhammad bin Faraj says: Imam Ali Naqi (a) wrote to him: “O Muhammad, organize you affairs and be careful.”
He said that he began to organize his affairs and did not know what the Imam (a) meant thereby until police came to him and took him out of Egypt as a captive. All of his belongings were confiscated and he remained in prison for eight years.
In the prison he received a letter from him that said, “O Muhammad, do not reside in the western location.” He read the letter and said to himself, “He writes me this and I am in prison. This is strange.”
Shortly afterwards, I was released, thanks to Allah.
The narrator said that Muhammad Ibne Faraj wrote to him about his properties.
Imam (a) wrote to him in response, “Your properties will soon be returned to you and even if they are not returned to you it will not harm you.”
When Muhammad Faraj left for the army camp (Samarra) an order was issued to release his properties but he died before receiving them.

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: ...
