Testimony of a bonded servant who met the Imam

Miracles of Masoomeen

It is narrated Zau bin Ali Ijli from a man of Fars (whom he named), whom he heard saying:

“I reached Surra Man Raa and came to the house of Abu Muhammad (a). Before I could seek permission to enter, the Imam called me from inside. I entered and greeted him.

He asked: How are you? Then he told me to sit and inquired about the well being of my family. Then he said: How do you happen to come here?

I said: I came to serve you. He said: Then stay here only. I began to live in his house with the servants. One day I returned from the market after buying necessary things. As I was entering, the Imam called me out to stop where I was; that neither should I go out nor come in.

Then a maid came out carrying something wrapped in a cloth. Then the Imam called me and also called the maid. When she came back, he told her: Reveal that which you have in your arms. When she removed the cloth, I saw a beautiful child in her arms. I saw his belly on which there was a line of hair from the chest to the navel. The hair was green and not black.

The Imam said: This is your Master (after me). Then he told the maid to take him away. After that I did not see the child till the Imam (a) passed away.

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: ...
