The answer came, “Do not go in this year.” My father returned a reply, saying, “It is an obligatory pledge. Is it permissible for me not to go. The answer came, “If you must perform, then be in the last caravan.” My father traveled with the last caravan and his life was saved. All the people in other caravans that were ahead of him were killed.
2- Ghaibat Tusi: It is narrated from Shalmaghani in Awsiya that Abu Ja’far Marwazi narrated that: Ja’far Ibne Muhammad Ibne Umar and a number of others came to the Askar and were there in the days when Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.) was alive. Amongst them was Ali Ibne Ahmad Ibne Tanin. Ja’far Ibne Muhammad Ibne Umar wrote a letter asking permission to enter the tomb. Ali Ibne Ahmad said to him, “Do not write my name.
I am not seeking permission.” Ja’far Ibne Muhammad did not write his name and the reply came, “Enter you and the one who did not seek permission.” 3- Al-Kharaij: It is narrated from Lady Hakima that she said: I came to Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.) forty days after the delivery of Narjis. I saw our master the Master of the Age, walking in the house. I have never seen a tongue as eloquent as his.
