Chemistry of the glance

Abu Hashim Ja’fari narrates: Imam Ali Naqi (a) came out of Samarra city to receive some descendants of Abu Talib and I accompanied him. The guests were late so the Imam dismounted and sat down on the ground and I also sat down before him. I said, “Maula, I am passing through very hard times due to lack of money.”
The Imam gathered some sand and handed it to me, saying,
“Abu Hashim, use this! And don’t divulge to anyone what you saw.”
I placed the handfuls of sand in a bag and after returning examined it; I saw it had transformed into pure gold of a reddish hue. I summoned a goldsmith to my place and asked him to assess the value of that gold.
After checking it, he said,
“I have never seen such pure gold in my entire life. Where did you get it from?”
“This is from the abode of our ancestors which we have treasured till date.” I said.

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: ...
