I replied, ‘Yes, it is me’ He said, ‘Your master is calling you.

I replied, ‘Yes, it is me’ He said, ‘Your master is calling you.’ I went with him and he walked from this to that street until he came to a house and a garden and I saw him -ajfj sitting. The Imam -ajfj said, ‘Welcome, O so and so,’ in Indian language. ‘How are you’? How was so and so,’ until he -ajfj mentioned all the forty people (mentioned in the beginning of the Hadith). The Imam -ajfj then asked me about every one of them.

Then he -asws told all that had happened among us, all in Indian language. Then the Imam -ajfj asked, ‘did you want to perform Hajj with people of Qum’?’ I said, ‘Yes, my master.’ The Imam -ajfj then said, ‘Do not go to Hajj with them this year. Go back and perform Hajj in future.’ He -ajfj then gave me a bag of money that was in front of him -asws .

The Imam -ajfj said to me, ‘Spend it for your needs and do not go to Baghdad to so and so.’ The Imam -ajfj mentioned his (so and so’s) name and said, ‘Do not tell him anything.’ ‘Amiri has said that he came to us at Qum. He then informed us of the triumph and that our people had returned from Al-Aqaba. Ghanim went to Khurasan. Next year he went for Hajj and sent us souvenirs from Khurasan. He lived there for some time and then he died. May Allah -azwj Grant him blessings.’ [29] [1] Al-Kafi, Vol.
