Money from the ground

Miracles of Masoomeen
Ali bin Asbat narrates: On the day of Arafah, I went to meet Imam Ali Reza (a) in Medina and the Imam said, “Saddle my donkey.”
So I saddled the donkey and the Imam went to Baqi Cemetery, where he performed the Ziyarat of Lady Fatima Zahra (s). Along with him I also recited the Ziyarat of Lady Zahra (s).
I said, “Maula, whom should I salute here?”
He said, “Salute Lady Fatima Zahra (s), Imam Hasan (a), Imam Zainul Aabideen (a), Imam Muhammad Baqir (a), Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) and Imam Musa Kazim (a).”
I saluted my leaders and we were returning from there, when I said,
“Maula, I am very poor and I don’t even have money to spend on Eid.”
Imam Ali Reza (a) scratched the ground with his whip, extracted a hundred gold coins from the ground and handed them to me, saying, “Take these.”
I accepted the Dinars from Maula and used them to meet my expenses.

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: ...
