Hadith 55

te from it all, and every time I raised my hand from it, not clear of its place in it, I found it as fresh as I had tasted in the world. I ate a lot from it until I was embarrassed. He-ajfj shouted at me: ‘O Isa! It is from the food of Paradise! The hand of a Created being has not made it’. I ate and saw within myself not ending from it, from eating it. I said, ‘O my Master-ajfj! It suffices me’. He-ajfj called out at me: ‘Come to me! ’ I said within myself, ‘I am going to my Master-ajfj and I have not washed my hands! ’ He-ajfj called out at me: ‘O Isa! And when you ate, did you immerse? ’
I smelt my hands and behold; these were more perfumed than the musk and the camphor. I went near him-ajfj. A Noor appeared to me which overwhelmed my sight and I feared until I thought my mind was mixed up. He-ajfj said to me: ‘O Isa! You would not have seen me-ajfj had it not been for the beliers, the speakers of, ‘Where is he-ajfj? ’ And ‘When was he-ajfj? ’ And ‘Where was he-ajfj born? ’ And ‘Who has seen him-ajfj? ’ And ‘What is that which emerged to you all from him-ajfj? ’ And ‘By which thing has he informed you with? ’ And ‘Which miracle has he-ajfj given you all? ’
But, by Allah-azwj, they had repelled Amir Al-Momineen-asws along with what they had saw him‑asws (do), and they went to him-asws, and plotted him-asws, and killed him-asws. And like that were my-ajfj forefathers-asws, and they did not ratify them-asws, and they attributed them-asws to the sorcery and service of the Jinn, until what was manifested. O Isa! Inform our-ajfj friend of what you have seen and beware of informing our-ajfj enemies! ’ I said, ‘O my Master-ajfj! Supplicate for me with affirmation’. He-ajfj said: ‘If Allah-azwj had not affirmed you, you would not have seen me-ajfj, and go with your success rightly guided’. I went out frequently praising Allah-azwj and thanking’’. [68]
