Chastisement on Abu Muhammad Dualji

The late Rawandi writes that Abu Muhammad Dualji was a tradition scholar and God had given him two sons. One of them was religious and his name was Abul Hasan. He used to give wash to the corpses before burial (Ghusl Mayyit). The other son was a rascal and ill-behaved.
A man gave an amount to Abu Muhammad Dualji to perform the Hajj on behalf of Imam Zamana (a). During that period such offering was customary. Abu Muhammad gave some money from this amount to his ill-behaved son and himself set out to perform the Hajj in lieu of Imam Zamana (a).
So, when he was camping at Arafat, he noticed on one side a wheat-complexioned youth engrossed in supplication and devotions. Later that same youth approached Shaykh Dualji and as soon as he arrived, the people present there all dispersed. He addressed the Shaykh saying,
“O Shaykh, are you not ashamed?” “Shame of what, my chief?” asked Dualji.
He said, “The amount was given by a person to perform Hajj and from that you gave some to your wanton, alcoholic son? For this negligence you will become blind in one eye.” So saying, he pointed at one eye of the Shaykh.
The narrator says: After forty days a sore appeared in one eye of the Shaykh and he became blind in that eye.

Incident of Ibne Mahziyar Ahwazi

Ali Ibne Ibrahim bin Mahziyar narrates one year when the Hajj season arrived, I prepared for the journey and set out to Medina. When I reached Medina, I inquired from the people about the descendants of Imam Hasan Askari (a), but could not get any information. I was very much worried and at last set out for Mecca. 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: ...
