Mulla Zainuddin Salmasi (r.a.), a special student of Bahrul
Uloom Sayyid Mahdi Tabatabai, was a scholar having miracles.
It is narrated from his son, an accomplished and righteous
scholar, Mirza Muhammad Baqir that Mirza Ali Qazwini, who
was a great worshipper and pious man, and who very fond of
Ilme Jafr and letters, in whose acquisition he had performed
many journeys as well. He was very friendly with my father.
Once he came to Samarrah, when we were busy with the
renovation of the tombs of Imam Ali Naqi (a.s.) and Imam Hasan
Askari (a.s.) he stayed with us. So much so that when we
returned to our native place, Kazmain. He also accompanied us
and lived with us as a guest for three years. One day he said to
me: Now, I cannot bear it anymore, my chest is about to burst;
that is why I say to you that I have a need with you, and it is that
when I was staying in Samarrah, I saw Hazrat Hujjat (a.s.) in
dream and I inquired that the knowledge to obtain which I have
spent my life, please expose it for me. He said: It is with your
companion and it was a hint to your respected father. I said that
he is secretive from me. He said: You ask him; he will not refuse.
After seeing this dream I rose up to go and meet him, but saw that he was himself approaching me. He said: Did you complain
about me to Hazrat Hujjat (a.s.) and when did you ever ask me
about something, which I have and I was miserly in giving it to
you. I was greatly ashamed by this and I bowed down my head.
Three years have gone by since then, and till date he has not
taught me even a letter of that knowledge and neither do I have
the audacity to ask him anything and so far I have not revealed
this to anyone; so if it is possible, please help me. Mirza
Muhammad Baqir says: I was astonished at the extent of his
patience and confidence and I came to my father and reported
whatever I had heard and also asked how he had learnt that he
had complained to Hazrat Hujjat (a.s.) regarding him. He replied:
It was the Hazrat, who informed me about it in my dream. But he
did not narrate his dream.
