Removing silver from the earth

Miracles of Masoomeen
Abu Hashim Ja’fari narrates: The year Bagha, the Turkish commander performed the Hajj, I was also present in Mecca for the pilgrimage. When I reached Medina, I went to meet Imam Ali Naqi (a) at his residence. At that time the Imam had already mounted in order to welcome Bagha.
I greeted the Imam, and he said, “Accompany us if you want.”
So I set out with him and when he exited Medina and came into the desert, the Imam said to the servant,
“We will wait here; you go ahead and see how far the caravan of Bagha is?”
After the servant left, Imam (a) said,
“Abu Hashim, dismount.”
So I dismounted and sat down in front of the Imam. Those days I was going through a terrible financial crisis. I thought of asking the Imam, but I was ashamed to do so, so I did not mention anything.
The Imam was wearing a finger ring. When he striked that ring on the ground the following writing appeared: Take this! But keep it confidential. And please excuse us!
Then with his whip the Imam scratched the ground hard and he striked the ground. Then he handed me a silver bar. Upon reaching Medina I got it weighed and it was 400 Mithqal.

On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. 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: ...
