“Stay in this house.

“Stay in this house." Hearing this I was ecstatic and my tears washed the desolation of several years distance from Imam and I thanked him. From that day onwards, I resided in Imam's house and would buy the household's daily needs from the market. One day as I returned home I heard the noise of something moving in the house. Suddenly, in a very loud voice, the Imam cried: “Stay where you are and don't move!" Of course I couldn't dare move. Thereafter, the Imam told me to enter.

He asked, “At that time when you saw the child, how old was he?" I replied. "Two years". Forty Witnesses Friends had gathered together, and their commotion filled the mosque courtyard. The Moazzen's call to prayer could be heard. Abdullah said. “Dear friends, reciting prayers at the earliest time possible has great virtue. After prayers we will gather again here.

Every one rose, some of them went to the pool in the center of the courtyard to make ablution and some of them hurried in to the mosque to be in the first line of congregational prayer. They recited the noon and afternoon prayer and afterwards they, once again, congregated in the courtyard and sat besides each other. The mosque attendant served them with tea and when the conversation died down Jafar Fazari said.

“I heard Muhammad-ibn-Ayoub and Muhammad-ibn-Osman saying: "We were in the house of Imam Hasan Askari) A.S), there were forty of us and Imam presented his offspring to us." One of those present in the courtyard said. "Amazing, there were forty of them.
