The comet that fell on Iblis

Miracles of Masoomeen 12:24

In his Dalailul Imamah, Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Jarir Tabari Imami has quoted on from Kitabul Anwaar and Hidaya of Hazini as follows:

Once Iblis pleaded: O God, I have seen all worshippers from the beginning of the world till the time of Ali Ibne Husain, but I did not see anyone so ardent in worship as him (Ali Ibne Husain); so allow me test him in order to gauge his patience.

Almighty Allah forbade him, but he did not listen. At last he came to the Imam in form of a huge ten-headed python having sharp fangs and piercing eyes; and opening its mouth wide, tried to terrify him, but the Imam continued his devotions and did not pay any heed. Then he lunged towards his feet and bit his toes and began to chew them, but the Imam was unaffected.

While Iblis was engrossed in his antics a scorching comet came from the heavens lunged upon him. When he saw the shooting star he screamed in fright and returned to his original form, saying:

Ali Ibne Husain, indeed, you are the chief of the universe; I am Iblis. And from the time of Adam till date I have seen the worship of all the prophets, but I didn’t see a worshipper like you. I am certain that if you beseech God for my forgiveness, He would indeed forgive me.

Then Iblis despaired and departed from there and the Imam continued his prayer and did not pay any heed.

Dalailul Imamah, Pg. 83.

It is narrated from Huzaifah bin Usaid Ghiffari who said: When Hasan bin Ali bade farewell to Muawiyah and left for Medina, I accompanied him in his journey, and there was a loaded camel in front of him, not separating from him wherever he headed. One day I said to him, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, O Abu Muhammad! This luggage, you do not separate from it wherever you are headed.’ He said: ‘O Huzaifah! Do you know what it is?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said: ‘This is the register.’ I said, ‘A register of what?’ He said: ‘Register of our Shias wherein are their names.’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! Show me my name.’ He said: ‘Come in the morning.’ He said: ‘I went to him in the morning and with me was a nephew of mine, and he was literate and I could not read. He said: ‘What have you come for in the morning?’ I said, ‘The need which you promised me.’ He said: ‘Who is that youth with you?’ I said, ‘A nephew of mine, and he is literate, and I am not.’ He (the narrator) said, ‘He said to me: ‘Be seated!’ So, I sat down. He said: ‘Get me the middle register.’ I came with it.’ The youth looked and there were names listed. While he was reading, he said, ‘O uncle! Here is my name!’ I said, ‘May your mother be bereft of you! Look where my name is.’ He turned a page, then said, ‘There is your name.’ So, we cheered, and the youth was martyred with Husain bin Ali” Reference: Basairud Darajaat, Pg. 172, Tr. 6, Miracles of Ahlulbayt (a.s. ) - Vol. 2.Pg.70
