Hadith 399

r is with you, chuck it in the (rive) Tirgis, then come to me, I shall inform you’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The woman went and carried whatever was with her and chucked it in the (river) Tigris, then returned and entered to see Abu Al-Qasim Al Rawh, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul. Abu Al-Qasim, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said to a slave girl of his, ‘Bring out the container to me! ’
She said to the woman, ‘This is the container which was with you, and you had thrown with into (river) Tigris. Shall I inform you with what is in it, or will you inform? ’ She said to him, ‘But, you inform me’. He said, ‘In this container are a pair of gold nuggets and a large ring wherein are jewels, and two small rings wherein are jewels, and two rings, one of these is turquoise and the other, agate’. And the matter was just as he had mentioned. He did not miss out anything from it. Then he opened the container and displayed whatever was in it to me, and the woman looked at it. She said, ‘This is exactly what I had carried and thrown in in the (river) Tigris’. There was overwhelming happiness upon me and upon the woman due to what we had witnessed from the truthfulness of the evidence. Then Al-Husayn said to me from after what he had narrated to me with this Hadeeth, ‘I keep Allah-azwj as Witness that this Hadeeth is just as I have mentioned it. I did not make any addition in it and did not reduce from it! ’ And he swore by the twelve Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon them that he was truthful in what he had narrated with, neither increasing in it nor reducing from it’’.
