Dawood Al Raqqy –
‘Two brothers of mine went out intending the Shrine. One of them was thirsty of severe thirst until he fell off from the donkey, and the other one fell in his hand. He stood up to pray Salat and supplicated to Allah-azwj, and Muhammad-saww, and Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and the Imams-asws. He was supplicating to one after one until he reached to the last of them, Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws. He did not cease supplicating to him-asws and sheltering with him-asws. There, he was with a man who had stood to him and he was saying, ‘O you! What is your story? ’ He mentioned his situation to him. He gave him a piece of stick and said, ‘Place this between your lips’. He did that, and there, he opened his eyes and sat up straight, and there was no thirst with him. The man went until he visited the grave. When they both left to go to Al-Kufa, the one who had supplicated came to Al-Medina. He entered to see Al-Sadiq-asws. He-asws said to him: ‘Be seated. What is the state of your brother? Where is the stick? ’ He said, ‘O my Master! When I was afflicted with my brother, I was gloomy with severe gloom. When Allah-azwj Returned his soul to him, I forgot the stick out of happiness’. Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘But, at the time you came to the sorrow of your brother, my-asws brother-as Al-Khizr-as came to me-asws. I-asws sent him-as to you with a piece of stick from the tree of Tooba’. Then he-asws turned to a servant of his-asws and said: ‘To me-asws with the basket! ’ He came with it. He came with it. He-asws opened it and extracted a piece of stick from it, exactly like it. The he-asws showed it to him until he recognised it. Then he-asws returned it to the basket’’. [215]
Dawood Al Neyli who said, ‘I went out with Abu Abdullah-asws to the Hajj. When it was the time of Al-Zohr (Salat), he-asws said to me: ‘O Dawood! Turn from the road until we take preparation for the Salat’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Or, are we not in a barren land not having any water in it? ’ He-asws said: ‘What have you to do with that? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘I was silent, and we turned away from the road. We descended in a barren land having no water in it. He-asws kic
