Conversing with a Turk in his language

Miracles of Masoomeen 01:21

Abu Hashim Ja’fari narrates: When during the Caliphate of Wathiq, Bagha Turki had came to Medina in pursuit of the Bedouins and his battalions were marching here and there, Imam Ali Naqi (a) said to me: Come, lets watch the battalions of Bagha.

We came out of Medina from where a battalion of Turks was passing by. When a Turkish fellow passed by us, Imam Ali Naqi (a) spoke to him in the Turkish language. He dismounted and kissed the hooves of the Imam’s mount. When I observed his extreme devotion, I asked,

“What did this young man tell you?”

“First you tell me whether he is a prophet?” he said.

“No,” I said, “He is not a prophet.”

“He addressed me by the name I was called in my childhood and no one here has any knowledge of it.”

It is narrated from Huzaifah bin Usaid Ghiffari who said: When Hasan bin Ali bade farewell to Muawiyah and left for Medina, I accompanied him in his journey, and there was a loaded camel in front of him, not separating from him wherever he headed. One day I said to him, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, O Abu Muhammad! This luggage, you do not separate from it wherever you are headed.’ He said: ‘O Huzaifah! Do you know what it is?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said: ‘This is the register.’ I said, ‘A register of what?’ He said: ‘Register of our Shias wherein are their names.’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! Show me my name.’ He said: ‘Come in the morning.’ He said: ‘I went to him in the morning and with me was a nephew of mine, and he was literate and I could not read. He said: ‘What have you come for in the morning?’ I said, ‘The need which you promised me.’ He said: ‘Who is that youth with you?’ I said, ‘A nephew of mine, and he is literate, and I am not.’ He (the narrator) said, ‘He said to me: ‘Be seated!’ So, I sat down. He said: ‘Get me the middle register.’ I came with it.’ The youth looked and there were names listed. While he was reading, he said, ‘O uncle! Here is my name!’ I said, ‘May your mother be bereft of you! Look where my name is.’ He turned a page, then said, ‘There is your name.’ So, we cheered, and the youth was martyred with Husain bin Ali” Reference: Basairud Darajaat, Pg. 172, Tr. 6, Miracles of Ahlulbayt (a.s. ) - Vol. 2.Pg.70
