Abu Hashim’s mule

Miracles of Masoomeen
Once Abu Hashim Ja’fari said to Imam Ali Naqi (a):
“Maula, I desire to gain the nobility of visiting you every day, but the problem is that you reside in Samarra, while I am in Baghdad and there is considerable distance between us. And I own only this emaciated mule.”
Imam (a) said,
“Abu Hashim, may God bestow strength to you and your mule.”
The Imam’s supplication was accepted. Abu Hashim used to set out from Baghdad after praying the Dawn Prayer and reach Samarra before the Zuhr and then return to reach Baghdad the same day.
[There is a distance of a hundred kilometers between these two places.

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: ...
