The staff and the verification of the Imam

Miracles of Masoomeen
Qadi Yahya bin Aksam says: Once I was present at the tomb of Messenger of Allah (s) and reciting Durood and salutations when Imam Muhammad Taqi (a) also arrived there.

He said, “You only want to inquire about the Imam.”
“Doubtlessly; you are right,” I replied.
“I am the Imam,” he said.
I said, “I will accept your Imamate if you show me some sign.”
He was holding a staff. By command of Allah a voice arose from this staff, saying, “Yahya, this one: Muhammad Taqi (a) is the Imam of this time.”
