NAJMUS SAAQIB Incident Seventy-six: Bahrul Uloom in Holy Mecca

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It is also narrated from the agent of the Allamah, Maulana Salmasi that during the period of his stay in Mecca, in spite of the
fact that it was a period of his travels and he was far away from
his hometown; but his generosity and largesse was such that he
cared not for excessive expenditure till the point came when there
was nothing to spend. And I did not even have a dirham. I
mentioned this to the Allamah, to which he gave no response and
as per his habit, he departed for Tawaf of Kaaba in the morning.
When he returned, I presented the Hookah to him as per his habit.
Suddenly someone knocked at the door; upon which he stood up
agitated and asked me to remove the Hookah from there
immediately and went to open the door. A very elegant
gentleman in Arabic garments entered and took a seat. Bahrul
Uloom also sat down with extreme humility. There was a brief
exchange of words between them after which that gentleman
arose to leave. Bahrul Uloom opened the door, kissed his hands
and mounted him on the she-camel. When he re-entered the
house, his demeanor was changed. He gave me a letter and said:
This is for the money-changer, having a shop at Mt. Safa. Give
him this and take whatever he gives. So I went there and
presented that document to him. He took it from me, kissed it and
then told me to bring the porters. I went and brought four porters.
The money-changer handed us so much cash that four porters had
to carry it home. After some days, I set out to meet the moneychanger
to check him out and ask him whose letter it was. But
when I reached that place I neither could see the shop not found
that money-changer anywhere. I inquired from people around
there, but all said that they have never seen any money-changer
over there. After that I understood that all this was from divine
secrets and favors of Imam Zamana (a.s.).
