Restoration of right

It is narrated from both Muhammad bin Dawud Qummi as well as Muhammad bin Talha that:
Khums, offerings and gifts were collected from Qom and its surrounding areas. We loaded all of them on a camel and set out to deliver it to Imam Ali Naqi (a). We were on the way, when we met a servant of the Imam, who conveyed to us the following message from the Imam:
“Take it back. It is not the time to collect these things.”
After getting this message we retraced our steps to Qom and kept all the items in a secure place. After some days the Imam sent a message,
“I have sent a camel to you. Load all the things upon it and send it to us.”
The narrator says, “As per the instructions of the Imam, we loaded everything and after entrusting it to God Almighty drove the camel forward.”
When we met the Imam the following year, he said,
“The goods sent by you reached us safe and sound.”
Then he showed us those things and after observing them we said,
“Indeed, these are the same items that we had loaded on the camel.”

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: ...
