NAJMUS SAAQIB Incident Forty-three: Ja’far bin Zohdari

It is an incident of 759 A.H. narrated by Abdur Rahman Amani
and he wrote it down in his own hand and it is with me.

He writes: Abdur Rahman bin Ibrahim Qabaiqi narrated that he
used to hear in Hilla Saifiya that Qari Najmuddin Ja’far bin Zohdari was down
with paralysis. After the death of his father, his grandmother tried to get him
cured, but he showed no signs of recovery. People advised her to consult the
physicians of Baghdad.

They summoned the Baghdad
doctors and they treated him for a time, but it was of no use. Then she was
told to take him to the dome of the place of Imam Zamana (a.s.) in Hilla.
Perhaps the Almighty Allah will bestow cure to him at that auspicious place.

She did that and left him there for a night. The Master of
the Age cured his malady and he became healthy once again.

I heard this incident from others, but once I happened to
meet that person also and he narrated to me that one night my grandmother left
be alone in that dome and the Master of the Age arrived and said: Stand up, by
the order of Allah.

Then he helped me to stand up and my paralysis was cured.
People mobbed me in such way that I survived with a great difficulty. They
snatched away my clothes as blessings. Others dressed me in their clothes and I
returned home. And he narrated this incident a number of times.[1]
