Imam Hassan's (as) Miracle: Dry Tree to Fruitful Tree

Muhammad ibn Yahya and Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Muhammad ibn Hasan, from Qasim Nahdi, from Ismail ibn Mihran, from Kunasi, from Abu Abdullah (a), who said:

Once, Imam Hasan (a) went outside the town with a man from the children of Zubair, who believed Imam Hasan (a) to be the Imam. They stopped to rest at an oasis under a palm tree that had dried up due to lack of water. A furnishing was spread for Imam Hasan (a) under that tree, and for the Zubairi, the furnishing was arranged under a tree next to it.

The narrator says that the Zubairi looked up at the tree and said, “If only it had fruits so we could eat from them.”

Imam Hasan (a) asked, “Do you wish to have dates?”

He replied, “Yes, I do wish to have dates.”

Imam Hasan (a) raised his hands to the sky and spoke certain words, which I could not understand. The tree turned green, returned to its normal condition, its leaves grew, and it became loaded with dates.

The man from whom they had hired camels exclaimed, “By Allah, this is magic!”

Imam Hasan (a) said, “Woe unto you! This is not magic; it is the prayer of the son of a prophet that is answered.”

They climbed the tree, picked the dates, and it provided enough for their needs.
