Report of the unseen

Ismail Ibne Muhammad Ibne Ali Ibne Ismail Ibne Ali Ibne Abdullah Ibne Abbas Ibne Abdul Muttalib said:
Once I sat on the side of the road waiting for Abu Muhammad (a) to pass by so that I can present before him my complaint against a need. When he was passing by, I mentioned the complaint and swore that I didn’t have even a Dirham for lunch or dinner.
The narrator said that the Imam (a) said:
“You falsely swore by Allah. You have buried two hundred Dinars. These words of mine are not to deny you any grants. Young man, give him whatever is with you. His servant, gave me one hundred Dinars. He then turned to me and said:
“You will be deprived of it in your worst days.”
He meant those Dinars that I had buried for a difficult day. What he said was true. I had buried two hundred Dinars thinking that they would only be used in very difficult times. When I faced such a difficult day and all the ways to find a living was closed, I went to take out the two hundred Dinars, but found that there was not even a single Dinar. In fact, my son had learned where the Dinars were and had taken them and run away. I could not benefit from any of that money.

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: ...
