Curing the leper

Miracles of Masoomeen
Abu Hashim Ja’fari narrates: A man in Samarra became afflicted with vitiligo due to which his existence took a pathetic turn. One day he informed Abu Ali Fehri about his malady.
Abu Ali said, “You go and meet Imam Ali Naqi (a) one of these days and ask him to pray for you. If he prays for you, I am sure you would be cured.”
So, one day the Imam was returning from Mutawakkil’s court. That youth saw the Imam and rose up to request him to pray for him. The Imam said thrice,
“Go away! May God grant health to you!”
The man dared not approach the Imam; so from there he came to Abu Ali and narrated the incident. Abu Ali said, “Congratulations, the Imam has prayed for you. You can go home now.”
That man came home and went to sleep and when he woke up in the morning, not a trace of the disease remained.

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: ...
