Teaching Arabic to a Sindhi man

Miracles of Masoomeen
Abu Ismail Sindhi narrates: I learnt in Sindh that there is man among the Arabs, who is also the proof of the Almighty on the creatures. I set out in his search from Sindh and reached Arabia where I began to search for him.
By a lucky chance someone told me that Hazrat Ali Reza is the Divine Proof. I went to meet him, but my problem was that I could not speak Arabic properly. So initially I only saluted him and he responded. Then I started conversing with him in Sanadi and he also spoke in that same language.
I said that I heard in Sindh that there was man in Arabia who was the Divine Proof of creatures and I was searching for him.
He replied, “I am that Divine Proof and you can ask me whatever you like.”
I inquired about a few points and when I was arising, I said that I was unable to communicate in Arabic. Please, would he pray to God to inspire me with Arabic to enable me to communicate with the Arabs?
The Imam passed his hand over my lips and due to his auspiciousness God made Arabic to flow from my tongue and immediately I was able to communicate in Arabic.

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: ...
