Sayyid Hashim Bahrani [author of Tafseer Burhan] in
Madinatul Maajiz has quoted from Tabari Imami and Shaykh Hurre
Amili [author of Wasail] in Ithbatul Huda that a beggar complained
to Imam Sajjad (a.s.) about his poverty. His Eminence gave him one
dirham and a loaf of bread and he ate from it for forty years through
the blessings of the Imam
Abu Samit Halwani said:
I asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) to show me a miracle to
remove my doubts. His Eminence said: “Give me a key, which you
have in your sleeve.” I presented it to him. Suddenly I saw the key
transform into a ferocious lion, which terrified me. His Eminence
said: “Hold it and don’t be terrified.” When I took it, it changed into
its previous form.
Muhammad bin Abi Alaa asked Yahya bin Aqsam about the
sciences of Aale Muhammad (a.s.). He replied:
I was circling the tomb of Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) when
Imam Jawad (a.s.) also arrived and began to circumambulate. I asked
His Eminence a number of questions and he replied. Then I asked: I
want to ask you something, but I am ashamed to do so. His
Eminence replied: “Don’t ask me, I will reply to you. What you want
to ask me is: Who is the Imam?” I said: “By God, I intended this
only.” His Eminence said: “I am the Imam.” I asked: “What is its
sign?” Suddenly I heard the staff in the hand of His Eminence say in
a clear voice: My master is the Imam and Divine Proof
