Hadith 358

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Ghumma’, from Muhammad Bin Talha who said, ‘Lays Bin Sa’ad said, ‘I performed Hajj in the year one hundred and thirteen. I came to Makkah. When I had prayed Salat Al-Asr. I ascended (mount) Abu Qubeys, and there I was with a man seated and he was supplicating. He said, ‘O Lord-azwj! O Lord-azwj! ’, until his breathing was cut. Then he said, ‘Lord-azwj! Lord-azwj! ’, until his breathing was cut. Then he said, ‘O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj’, until his breathing was cut. Then he said, ‘O Living! O living! ’, until his breathing was cut. Then he said, ‘O Merciful! O Merciful! ’, until his breathing was cut. Then he said, ‘O most Merciful of the merciful ones! ’, until his breathing was cut, seven times. Then he said, ‘O Allah-azwj! I desire from these grapes, so Feed them to me. O Allah-azwj! And even my cloak is worn out! ’
Al-Lays said, ‘By Allah-azwj! His speech had not even completed until I looked at a basked filled with grapes, and there weren’t any grapes upon the earth in those days, and there was a new cloak, both having been placed. He intended to eat. I said to him, ‘Can I participate with you? ’ He said to me, ‘And why? ’ I said, ‘Because you were supplicating, and I was saying ‘Ameen’’. He said, ‘Go ahead and eat, and do not hide anything’. I went ahead and ate something, I had not eaten the like of it, at all, and there were grapes there were no seeds for it. I ate until I was satiated, and the basked was not reduced (by anything). Then he said to me, ‘Take one of the two cloaks for you’. I said, ‘As for the two cloaks, I am needless from them’. He said, ‘Curtain for me until I wear them. I veiled from him, and he trousered with the one and cloaked with the other. Then he took the two cloaks, the ones which were upon him, and made them to be upon his hands, and he descended. I followed him until when he was with the evening, a man met him. He said, ‘Clothe me, may Allah-azwj Clothe you’. He handed both of them to him. I caught up with the man and said, ‘Who is this one? ’ He said, ‘This is Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws’. Al-Lays said, ‘I searched for him-asws to listen from him-asws but could not find him-asws. O how was the honour for this and how was it enacted! And how was the virtue for this and how great was its image and its meaning! ’’[224]
(The book) ‘Kashf Al Ghumma’, from ‘Kitab Al Dalail’ of Al Himeyri, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws one day when he-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Do you recognise your Imam-asws? ’ I said, ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj the One-azwj, there is no god except He-azwj! And you-asws are him-asws! ’ And I placed my hand upon his-asws knee or his-asws thigh. He-asws said: ‘You speak the truth! You have recognised, so hold on to it’. I said, ‘I want you-asws to give me a sign of the Imam-asws’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! There is no sign (to give) after the recognition’. I said, ‘I shall increase in Eman and certainty’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Return to Al-Kufa, and Isa has been born for you, and from after Isa would be Muhammad, and from after them would be two daughters, and know that your two sons are written with us-asws in the book ‘Al-Jamie’, with the names of our-asws Shias and names of their fathers and their others and their grandfathers and their wives, and whatever they would be begetting up to the Day of Qiyamah’, and he-asws brought it out, and it was yellow, graded (ranked)’’.
