Asbagh has narrated that in the company of Ameerul Momineen
(a.s.) we reached one spot, where His Eminence hit his foot upon the
ground and there was a quake.
It is mentioned in another report that when the quake occurred.
Imam (a.s.) said: Be still. So the earth became still.
In another instance, an earthquake occurred during the time of
Abu Bakr. His Eminence hit upon the earth and said: Be still. So it
became still.
His Eminence said: I am that human being, regarding whom
Allah says:
“And man says: What has befallen her? On that day
she shall tell her news,” Surah Zilzal 99:3-4
Yes, when there is quake of Judgment Day, he would speak to
the earth and the earth shall convey its happenings to His Eminence.
There was an earthquake during the period of Umar as well. His
Eminence along with a large number of people went to Baqi and
they saw Imam (a.s.) hit his foot on the ground and say: Be still. The
earth fell still. It is mentioned in this traditional report that he said:
“I am that human being, who would speak to the earth in the earthquake of Judgment Day and it would mention its news to me.”
