The incident was that at a time of severe draught a Christian priest was able to make it rain, which was making the Muslim people question their faith. So Motamid had to ask Imam Hasan al-Askari (A) for help, before there were no Muslims to rule over. Imam (A) showed how the priest was making it rain using the bone of a Prophet (A) and how Imam (A) could make it rain without the help of anything. The Muslims were overjoyed and Motamid had no choice but to let Imam (A) free.

It was during this period that the 12th Imam (A) was born. Moral: Allah says in the Holy Qur'an, Sura Ali Imran verse 54:"And they planned, and Allah planned, and Allah is the best of planners."ie. Whatever Allah has decided no-one can change. Once in the time of our 11th Imam, Imam Hasan al-Askari (A), there lived a man who only had a little money left.

Now this man was scared about what he was going to do when even this little bit of money finished, so he decided to hide this money by digging a hole in his garden and putting it there. The man then went to Imam Hasan al-Askari (A) and told him that he had no money and needed Imam's (A) help. Imam Hasan al-Askari (A) gave the man a whole bag of money and told him that the Imams (A) always help anyone that asks them for help, so there had been no need for him to have lied.

Imam Hasan al-Askari (A) continued that the man should be grateful for whatever Allah has given him. Imam (A) then told him that the money that he had hidden would not be there when he would need it. The man realised what he had done was wrong. Later when the man needed some more money, he went to dig out the money that he had hidden and found it gone. His son had found out about it and taken it.

Exactly like Imam Hasan al-Askari (A) had said, that when he would need the money it would not be there. Moral: You should trust in Allah to look after you. You should thank Allah for whatever He has given you. You should never lie, as you will be found out. Even if no-one finds out, Allah knows. Previous…
