Reading Time: 3 minutes

Hojjatoleslam Valmoslemin Sheikh Ruhollah Qassempour, one of the religious scholars in Babol, wrote a letter to Maktabol Hossein (a.s.) publication indicating three miraculous acts, two of which were narrated in Shiite part, and one here. Hojjatoleslam Haj Sheikh Ali Rabbani Khalkhali, I wish your success in service to the Prophet’s House (a.s.). I narrate three miraculous acts from the flag-bearer of Karbala, Hazrat Abalfazl Abbas (a.s.): I was teaching in Kurdestan on 1985. One of the Sunnite brothers referred to me, and invited me for a vow for Hazrat Abalfazl (a.s.). I wondered, and anyhow accepted his invitation. We went to his house on Friday. Two rooms were full of Sunnite brothers. There was a small hall in the middle of these two rooms. They put a chair and I sat on it. The Sunnite brother was beside me. From the beginning till end, he was very happy. During my lecture, the Sunnite ladies gave me money repeatedly and said: vowed for Hazrat Ali Akbar (a.s.), vowed for Hazrat Ali Asghar (a.s.), …. After lecture, they invited me to lunch. After lunch and at farewell, they wanted to give me some money, but I did not accept and said: Letting me to talk about the flag-bearer of Karbala in your house suffices me. He did not accept. I said that I will accept the money upon the condition that he says to me what is the reason why he has vowed for Hazrat Abalfazl Abbas (a.s.)?! He said: I will tell you and continued: I was suffering from heart disease. I visited many physicians but of no use. Even there was a proficient physician in Tabriz, and I referred to him, but again of no use. Finally, all physicians gave me a negative reply, and I was brought to home. I was completely disappointed. My mother came to my house and said: How are you, my son? I replied: really bad! She asked me: Don’t you want to go to a physician. I said: You know that I referred to many physicians, but of no use. She told: I know a physician who will heal you with one prescription. I asked: Who is the physician? What is his name and where is his clinic? She said: He has no clinic and there is no need to go anywhere! I asked: Who is he? I am really dying. My mother said: His name is Hazrat Abalfazl Abbas (a.s.), son of Ali (a.s.). I said: We do not have any relation with them. My mother said: They are generous and forgive and pardon greatly. Her utterance burned my heart. My mother left me and went to my children. I was gradually resorting to him, and found a good feeling. I said: O Hazrat Abalfazl Abbas (a.s.), I have heard many compliments about you. Deliver me from this pain! O master, if your parents were right, cure me! I wept too much and fell asleep. I dreamed that one bright man entered my house. He came beside me and said: Stand up. I said: My pain has just recently alleviated. Let me rest. Who are you? He said: Whom did you want? I remembered and said: Son of Imam Ali (a.s.), Hazrat Abalfazl Abbas (a.s.). He answered: I am Abalfazl, son of Hazrat Imam Ali (a.s.). He asked: What do you want? I explained: I am suffering from a heart disease, and cannot tolerate anymore its pain. He looked at my heart. I did not feel any pain in my heart anymore, and was relieved from pain which I was suffering since several years ago. I was going to appreciate him for healing me, but he was not there. I waked up and went to my mother, wife and children. When they saw me standing alone, they wondered and said: Why did you leave the bed? I said: My mother, your physician who did not have any clinic, came and healed me!
