Imam Sadiq's (as) Miracle on Mount Abu Qubais


Imam Jafar al Sadiq (as) mahdiforall.com

Abdullah bin Wahab narrates: I heard from Laith bin Saad that he said: I had the fortune to perform Hajj in 113 A.H. and arrived in Mecca. After praying the Asr Prayer, I climbed Mount Abu Qubais, where I saw a man engrossed in supplication. He continued to recite, "O Lord, O Lord," so many times that he was out of breath. Then he recited, "O my God, O my God," so many times that he was out of breath. Then, "O the Living, O the Living," so many times that he was out of breath. Then, "O Merciful, O Merciful," so many times that he was out of breath. Finally, "O Beneficent, O Beneficent," seven times.


Then he said, "O God, I would like to have grapes. Please give me grapes. O God, please feed me grapes. O God, my dress has frayed. Please grant me another." Laith bin Saad says: By God, he had not even concluded his entreaty when a basket of grapes appeared from the unseen, even though it was not the season for that fruit. Two colorful sheets were also placed in front of him. When he was about to eat the grapes, I called out from behind, "I am also your partner in these grapes."


"How is that?" he asked in amazement.


I said, "When you were praying, I was saying ‘Amen’ after you."


"All right, come and have the grapes."


So, I ate the grapes, and I had never before tasted such grapes. Even after we had eaten to our satisfaction, there was no decrease in the basket. Then that youth said, "Here are two garments; you take one."


"I don’t need it," I said.


"All right, turn your face away so that I may change."


I turned away, and that youth retired to a corner and wore the garments. After that, we descended and reached the place of Sayy, where a beggar said to him, "O son of the Messenger of Allah, please give me a garment, and may you be granted a garment of Paradise."


The youth gave his old clothes to that man. I rushed to the beggar and inquired who that gentleman was.


"He is Ja'far ibn Muhammad," replied the beggar.


Laith bin Saad says: I searched for him extensively after that in order to listen to his traditions, but I was unable to find him.
