Abu Hamza Thumali asked Imam Sajjad (a.s.): “Can the Holy
Imams (a.s.) revive the dead, restore sight to the blind born, cure
incurable lepers and walk on the surface of water?”
Imam Sajjad (a.s.) replied:
“Almighty Allah did not give anything to prophets,
except that He gave it to Muhammad (s.a.w.a.); and He
bestowed such things to Muhammad, which He did not
grant to the previous prophets. He gave all of them to
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and also Ameerul Momineen
(a.s.) and after him to Imam Hasan (a.s.) and after him
to Imam Husain (a.s.) and after him to the Imams from
the descendants of Imam Husain (a.s.), each of them,
one after another till Judgment Day with numerous
additions every year, every month and every day.”
After that Imam Sajjad (a.s.) explained the incident of the sheep
of that Ansari man, which he killed and cooked and the Prophet,
along with his Ahle Bayt (a.s.) and whoever the Prophet wanted, ate
from it and were satiated. However, they had not broken its bones;so His Eminence brought that sheep back to life
