Hadith 157

me out this night to Al-Baqie, you shall be seeing a wonder from Ali-asws! ’
Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yamani said, ‘The people gathered from Al-Asr (late afternoon) at Al-Baqie up to calmness of the night. Then Amir Al-Momineen-asws came out to them and with him was Zulfiqar (sword). He-asws said: ‘Follow me-asws until I-asws show you a wonder! ’ They followed him and there he-asws was with two separate fires, a large fire, and a small fire. He-asws entered the small fire and faced it towards the large fire. Huzeyfa said, ‘I heard rumble like the rumbling of thunder, and the fire had transferred into each other. Then he-asws entered it and we were at a distance from him-asws, and the dread had entered us from the frequency of the rumbling, and we were waiting (to see) what he-asws would be doing with the fire. He-asws did not cease to be like that until the morning light. Then the fire froze and he-asws emerged from it, and we had despaired from him-asws. He-asws arrived to us and in his-asws hand was a head and in its peak were eleven fingers, and it had one eye for it in his forehead, and he-asws was holding it by its hair, and for it there was hair like the bear. We said to him-asws, ‘May the Assistance of Allah-azwj be for you-asws! ’ Then he-asws came with it to the gathering in which was the (paralysed) boy and said: ‘Arise, by the Permission of Allah-azwj, O boy, for there does not remain any problem upon you! ’
The boy got up and his hands and his feet were healthy, sound. He devoted to the leg of the Imam-asws, kissing it, and he was saying, ‘Extend your hand, for I testify there is no god except Allah-azwj and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and you-asws Ali-asws, are guardian-asws of Allah-azwj and helper of His-azwj religion’. Then the people became Muslims, those who were with him. He (the narrator) said, ‘And the people remained mystified having had paled, when they saw the head and its appearance. Ali-asws turned towards them and said: ‘O you people! This is the head of Amro Bin Al-Akheyl Bin Laqis son of Iblees-la, the accursed. He was among legion of twelve thousand from the Jinn, and he is the one did with the boy what you have witnessed. I-asws struck them with this sword of mine and fought them by this heart of mine-asws, and they did, all of them, by the Magnificent Name which was upon the staff of Musa-as by which he-as struck at the sea and they split into twelve sects. So, hold fast with the obedience of Allah-azwj and obedience of His-azwj Rasool-saww, you will be guided! ’’[70]
