Hadith 52

ot hair would grow in its place’. The minister asked them, ‘When had you seen him? ’ They said, ‘Ten days ago’. The minister uncovered from the thigh which the pain had been in, and it was like its counterpart. There was not trace in it at all. One of the physicians shouted, ‘This is a deed of the Messiah-as! ’ The minister said, ‘Where it does not happen to be your deed, so we know the one who has done it’. Then he was presented in the presence of the caliph Al-Mustansir. He asked him about the story. He let him know of it just as it had flowed. He forwarded a thousand Dinars to him. When I presented, he said, ‘Take this and spend it! ’
I did not have the courage to take even one seed from him. The caliph said, ‘Who are you fearing from? ’ He said, ‘From the one who had done this with me! He-ajfj had said: ‘Do not take anything from Abu Ja’far! ’’ The caliph wept and was ruffled, and he went out from his presence and did not take anything. Ali Bin Isa said, ‘May Allah-azwj Pardon him!

During that year he visited it forty times, coveting the return of the time to him which had passed, or the share be fulfilled for him with what had been fulfilled, and the one who had given him everlasting contentment, or assisted him with his demands. The Decree changed. He, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, died in regret and transferred to the Hereafter with this stumbles, and may Allah-azwj Befriend him and us by His-azwj Mercy, by His-azwj Conferment. And it was narrated to me by the Seyyid Baqy Bin Atwah Al-Hassan that his father Atwah, and he had an illness in his hand, and he was of the Zaydite doctrine, and he used to dislike his son inclining towards the doctrine of the Imamites and he
