I said to myself...

I said to myself: I will not leave this place till I do not see this man that how he looks. He says: Then he arrived mounted on a horse and people stood in rows on both the sides watching him. The moment I saw him, affection for him appeared in my heart. Without conscious effort I began to pray that may Allah save him from Mutawakkil. He moved forward among the people with his eyes resting on the crest of the horse and he did not look either to the right or the left.

I repeated the prayer inwardly. When he passed by my side, he glanced at me and said: “May the Almighty Allah accept your Dua , prolong your lifespan and give you a lot of children and wealth.” Due to his awe I began to tremble and stood amidst my companions who asked: “What happened?” I replied: “It is good.” And I didn’t tell anyone about what has occurred. After this strange encounter I returned to Isfahan.

The Almighty Allah by the bounty of his Dua opened up ways of income for me in such a way that today I am having thousands of Dinars only at home in addition to what I have outside. I got ten children and my age is more than seventy years.

I am having faith in the Imamat of this person as he knew what I was thinking and the Almighty Allah accepted his Dua in my favor.[^3] I say: O sensible people, see how Imam Hadi (as) rewarded the man for his prayers and that when he came to know that he has prayed for him, he also prayed for him even though at that time he was not believer in his Imamate. So what do you think about His Eminence, the Master of the Time?

Would he not pray for you if you pray for him, while you even have faith in his Imamat? No, by the One who is the creator of men and jinns, His Eminence indeed prays for the believers even if they are themselves neglectful because he is the Wali (guardian) of favor and whatever we have mentioned in Part Four under the Chapter of the Letter ‘D’ is sufficient as proof. In support of what we have discussed here a righteous brother narrated to me that he saw His Eminence in the dream.

His Eminence said to him: “I pray for all those who pray after the narration of the calamities of the Chief of the martyrs in a gathering of Azadari.” We beseech the Almighty Allah to give the Tawfeeq to perform deeds that enable the acceptance of our Dua .
