Hadith 52

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Ghumma’ –
‘And I remember two stories from that near to their time from my time, and these two were narrated to me by a group of my trusted one of my brothers who were in the city of Al-Hilla, a person called Ismail Bin Al-Hassan Al-Hiraqly, from a town called Hiraqly. He died during my time, and I had not seen him. His son Sham Al-Deen narrated to me. He said, ‘My father narrated to me that he had gone out during it, and he was a youth. Upon his right thigh there was a red sore of a measurement of a fist of the human being, and every four days or so it would split and there would come out from it, blood, and ugly things. Its pain would frequently cut him off from his occupation, and he was staying at Hiraqly. One day he presented at Al-Hilla and entered to a gathering of Al-Saeed Razi Al-Deen Ali Bin Tawoos, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, and he complained to him and said, ‘I want to cure it’.

I left his clothes and his expense monies with Al-Saeed Razy Al-Deen. He (the narrator) said, ‘When I entered the Shrine and performed visitation of the Imams, I descended into the basement and sought help with Allah-azwj the Exalted and the Imam-ajfj, and I spent part of the night in the basement and remained in the Shrine up to the Thursday. Then I went to (river) Tigris and washed and wore clean clothes, and I filled a pitcher which was with me and ascended, intending the Shrine. I saw four horsemen coming out from the gate of the archway, and around the Shrine there was a group of noblemen taking care of their sheep. I reckoned them to be from them. We met.
