He saw how the dog\u2019s meat had separated from its bones and died.

He saw how the dog\u2019s meat had separated from its bones and died. He called in the servant, asked for a sword and a rug. He told the servant: \u2018Tell me the truth about the dates or I will kill you.\u2019 \n The servant said: \u2018O commander of the faithful! I delivered the dates to Musa -asws Ibn Ja\u2019far -asws and delivered your greetings to him -asws and stood right in front of him -asws . He asked me for a toothpick. I brought him -asws one.

He put the toothpick into the dates and ate them one by one. Then the dog came there. He -asws placed the tooth pick in one of the dates and threw it for the dog. The dog ate it. He -asws continued eating the rest of the dates. O commander of the faithful! Then what you see happened.\u2019 Harun Ar-Rashid said: \u2018We did not gain any benefits from (trying to poison) Musa -asws . We fed him -asws the best of our dates, wasted our poison and got our dog killed.

There is no solution for Musa Ibn Ja\u2019far.\u2019 \n Then our Master Musa -asws called in Mosayyab three days before his -asws death. Mosayyab was his prison guard. The Imam -asws said: \u2018O Mosayyab!\u2019 He said: \u2018Yes, my Master?\u2019 The Imam -asws said: \u2018I will be going to Medina, the town of my grandfather (i.e.

Rasool Allah -saww ), in order to instruct my son Ali Al-Reza -asws according to what my -asws father -asws had instructed me -asws to do, and establish him -asws as my -asws Trustee and Successor, and deliver my -asws orders to him -asws .\u2019 \n Mosayyab said: \u2018O my Master! How do you order me to open the doors for you while there are also other prison guards with me?\u2019 The Imam -asws said: \u2018O Mosayyab!

Your belief in the Honourable the Exalted God -azwj regarding us -asws is weak.\u2019 He said: \u2018No, my Master -asws !\u2019 The Imam -asws said: \u2018Then wait.\u2019 He said: \u2018O my Master -asws !

Please pray for me to get more firmly established in faith.\u2019 \n Then the Imam -asws said: \u2018I invoke the Honourable the Exalted God -azwj by His Great Name – by which Asif had invoked Him -azwj , and magically brought Bilquees\u2019 (queen of Saba\u2019s) Throne there and placed it in front of Solomon -as before the wink of an eye – to bring me (Al-Kazim) and my son Ali Al-Reza -asws together in Medina.\u2019 Mosayyab then heard Imam Al-Kazim -asws pray and suddenly he -asws was no longer where he -asws was standing to pray.
