Yusuf bin Ahmad Ja’fari narrates: I got the opportunity to perform the Hajj in the year 306 A.H. After the Hajj, I stayed in Mecca for three years. After three years I bid farewell to Mecca and set out towards Shaam. During the journey I missed praying the Morning Prayer and the Sun arose. I descended from the litter with the intention of making ablution and praying the lapsed Prayer. Suddenly I happened to see a litter near me which contained four persons. I was amazed to see that litter.
“What are you amazed at; you have not recited the Morning Prayer?” one of them asked.
“How do you know that?” I asked.
“Would you like to see your Imam of the Time (a)?” he said.
“Yes,” I replied and he gestured to a person in his litter.
“How can I believe he is the Imam of the Time (a) while there are some attributes of the Imam?”
The person in the litter said,
“If you want this camel can float to the sky along with this litter or the camel may remain where it is and only the litter may soar to the sky. Tell me whatever you prefer?”
“If I see any of the signs I would accept him as my Imam.”
After that I saw the camel soar up to the sky. The man I was told was Imam Zamana (a) had wheaten complexion and on his forehead was the mark of prostration.
