Zaid Ibne Ali Ibne Husain Ibne Zaid narrated:
I became ill and a doctor came to see me at night. He prescribed a medicine for me to be taken at night for so and so many days.
I could not find the medicine that night. The physician was still there that Nasr came in with a bottle that contained the medicine that the physician had prescribed for me and said:
“Abul Hasan (a) sends you the greeting of peace and has asked you to take this medicine for so and so many days.”
“I took the medicine and recovered from my illness.”
Harun bin Fadhl says: Once Imam Ali Naqi (a) suddenly recited:
“Verily we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return,” then said, “By God, my father Abu Ja’far has passed away!”
“How do you know?” someone asked.
“All of a sudden I felt such a dread in my heart as I have never before experienced. This tells me that my father has passed away.”
Mansuri says: My father’s uncle approached Mutawakkil at time when he was enjoying liquor and he also invited him to join. But he said, “I have never indulged in this in my life.”
“You only drink in the company of Ali bin Muhammad!” the accursed Mutawakkil blatantly alleged.
He said, “Mutawakkil, have fear of God! It is for your benefit and not loss; while such a thing would cause no harm to a pious one like Ali bin Muhammad.”
After some days Fath bin Khaqan said: Once Mutawakkil told me, ‘Some cash has been sent from Qom for Ali Naqi. Keep an eye on him and inform me when he receives it.’
Whereas I was sympathetic to Ali Naqi (a) and I did not want to seize his funds. So I sent message to be alerted from which route the cash was being transported so that I may abstain from my surveillance.
Later, I met Imam Ali Naqi (a) while some dignitaries were in a meeting with him. The Imam glanced at me, smiled and said,
“Felicity would be received from God.” After that I explained the situation and he said,
“Abu Musa, what didn’t you mention his previous statement that you drink with me?”
“I didn’t like to tell that in view of your respect and greatness.”
He said, “Tonight, the cash sent to me from Qom would reach me and they would not be able to seize it. You stay with me tonight.”
I spent the night at his place and when a substantial part of it had passed the Imam arose to pray and after concluding, said,
“See, a man has arrived with the cash and I have restrained the servant from taking its delivery. So you go out and accept it.”
I came out to find a man holding a basket containing some items. I accepted that and brought it to the Imam. He said,
“Go and tell him to give that robe as well regarding which the lady from Qom had told him that it was left by her grandmother.”
So I went and conveyed the message of the Imam and he handed me a robe. I brought it to the Imam, who remarked,
“It is not that same robe; he has replaced it. I want that same one.”
When I conveyed the Imam’s message, that man said, “The fact is that my daughter liked that robe very much; so she kept it and gave me another in exchange. By chance she has accompanied me here. I will go and bring that robe from her.”
When I relayed the statements to the Imam, he said,
“Go and tell him: That robe is over your shoulders right now!”
I told him that and removed the robe from his shoulders. That man said,
“So far I was in doubt about his Imamate, but now I have gained certainty that he is the Imam of the time.”
