Informing someone about name of his father

Abu Rajaa Misri narrates: I went to investigate the situation two years after the demise of Imam Hasan Askari (a). I did not find anything in those two years. In the third year, I was in Medina in search of the offspring of Imam Hasan Askari (a). I was riding a couched camel.
Abu Ghanim had asked me to have dinner with him. I was sitting thinking with myself and saying, “If there had been something, it would have manifested after three years.”
Suddenly, I heard a caller, whose voice I heard, but his person I did not see, say, “Nasr bin Abde Rabb, if this is the criterion of the belief of the people of Egypt, did you adopt faith in Messenger of Allah (s) after seeing him?”
Abu Rajaa says: Though I did not see the speaker, he solved the great problem of my life, because I was born in Madayan and Abdullah Naufali brought me to Egypt and I even did not know the name of my father. When I heard his name, I became certain that the voice only belonged to the Master of the Age.

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: ...
