I found saddles of camels lined up in front of the door and noises coming very loud and then a people came out with turbans like those of the Indian gypsies. I asked abu Ja'far (a.s.) about them and said, may Allah take my soul in service for your cause. Today it took a long time to receive permission to meet you.

I saw a people coming out with turbans whom I could not recognize." He said, "Do you know, O Sa'd, who they are?" I said, "No, I do not know." The Imam (a.s.) said, "They were your brethren in religion from Jinns. They come to us for religious instructions, to learn the lawful and unlawful matters and the principles of their religion." H 1030, Ch. 98, h 4 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ibrahim ibn abu al- Balad from Sadir al-Sayrafi who has said the following.

"Abu Ja'far (a.s.) asked me to help him in a few things in Maina. I left and when reached fajj al-Rawha' a man waved to me with his cloths. The narrator has said that I turned to him and I though he was thirsty. I offered the cup but he declined saying, "I do not need it." He gave a letter with its ink still not dried up. The narrator has said that when looked at it, it had the seal of abu Ja'far (a.s.) on.

I asked him when were you in the presence of abu Ja'far (a.s.)?" He said, "Just now I was in his presence." In the letter there were few things that he had commanded me to do. When looked around there was no one with me." The narrator has said that then I went to meet abu Ja'far (a.s.) and said, may Allah take my soul in service for your cause, a man came to me with your letter the ink of which was not yet dried up." He said, "O Sadir, we servants from Jinns.

When we would need a thing to happen quickly we send them to do it." H 1031, Ch. 98, h 5 Alki ibn Muhammad aand Muhammad ibn al-Hassan have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from the person who he mentioned from Muhammad ibn Jahrash who has said that Halima daughter of Musa has said the following. "Once I saw al-Rida (a.s.) standing at the door of the firewood room and he was whispering but I would not see any9ne ellse around. I then asked him, "My.

master, who are you talking to?" He said, "This is 'Amir al-Zahra'i.
