Saffar in Basair has narrated through his chains from Sulaiman bin Khalid that he said:
I and Abu Abdullah Balkhi were present in the company of
Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.). His Eminence said to a dry date palm,
which dropped to the ground:
“O tree, give us to eat what Almighty Allah has given
you.”
Sulaiman says: “Suddenly, fresh dates of different colors
dropped from that dried tree and we ate from it to satiation.” Balkhi
said: “May I be sacrificed on you this is like the story of Lady
Maryam.”
