Strength of the Imam

Ibrahim bin Saad said: I asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a), “Can you hold the sky in your hands?”

He replied, “If I want, I can make the sky vanish for you.”

“Then do it, please,” said I.

As soon as I mentioned this I saw him tug at the sky like one drags a beast. At that time the sky blackened and it seemed that an eclipse had occurred. All the people of Medina witnessed this phenomenon. Then he reinstated the sky in its original place.

Ibrahim bin Wahab says: A young and emaciated female goat was brought to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a). When the Imam passed his hand over her back, her udders filled up and he milked her.

Qubaisa bin Wael says: I was in the company of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) when suddenly he rose up into the atmosphere and as I watched, he disappeared from my view. When he returned after sometime he was holding a tray containing fresh dates.

He said, “(When I soared up) my right foot was on the shoulder of Jibraeel Amin and the left on the shoulder of Mikaeel. I soared till I reached the Holy Prophet (s), Ali (a), Lady Fatima Zahra (s), Hasan, Husain, Imam Zainul Aabideen (a) and my father; and they gifted these dates to me.”

Ibne Saad says: I went to meet Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) during a very hot climate. In his house, in addition to snow and honey, the Imam showed us a stream flowing over there and he displayed all this when there was no snow or honey in Medina and neither any stream flowed there.

Muhlib bin Qays says: I asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a), “How does a person gain recognition of his Imam?”

Imam (a) replied, “When a claimant of Imamate does this you should know that he is the one appointed by God.” So saying, he placed his hand on the wall and it turned into gold. Then he kept his hand on the wooden pillar and leaves sprouted from it.

Laith bin Ibrahim says: I was in the company of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) one evening. He took me along and we reached Azzi (Najaf Ashraf) in a split second; after that we came to Kufa. I saw him treading the surface of water. Then he returned to Medina with me and the time had stood still.

It is narrated from Huzaifah bin Usaid Ghiffari who said: When Hasan bin Ali bade farewell to Muawiyah and left for Medina, I accompanied him in his journey, and there was a loaded camel in front of him, not separating from him wherever he headed. One day I said to him, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, O Abu Muhammad! This luggage, you do not separate from it wherever you are headed.’ He said: ‘O Huzaifah! Do you know what it is?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said: ‘This is the register.’ I said, ‘A register of what?’ He said: ‘Register of our Shias wherein are their names.’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! Show me my name.’ He said: ‘Come in the morning.’ He said: ‘I went to him in the morning and with me was a nephew of mine, and he was literate and I could not read. He said: ‘What have you come for in the morning?’ I said, ‘The need which you promised me.’ He said: ‘Who is that youth with you?’ I said, ‘A nephew of mine, and he is literate, and I am not.’ He (the narrator) said, ‘He said to me: ‘Be seated!’ So, I sat down. He said: ‘Get me the middle register.’ I came with it.’ The youth looked and there were names listed. While he was reading, he said, ‘O uncle! Here is my name!’ I said, ‘May your mother be bereft of you! Look where my name is.’ He turned a page, then said, ‘There is your name.’ So, we cheered, and the youth was martyred with Husain bin Ali” Reference: Basairud Darajaat, Pg. 172, Tr. 6, Miracles of Ahlulbayt (a.s. ) - Vol. 2.Pg.70
