Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kitab Al-irshad 1 Some of the Miracles of the Commander of the Faithful (The following are) some of the signs of God, the Exalted, and His clear proof of the Commander of the faithful, peace be on him, which indicate his position with regard to God, the Mighty and High, and his special endowment with miracles by which he was set apart from everyone else through the call for obedience to him, to remain steadfast in respecting his authority and closeness to God (wilaya), to recognise his rights and the certainty of His Imamate, and to be aware of his protection (from error), perfection and the demonstration of the proof of him., **The Miracle of his Wisdom while still a Boy ** Among these are some qualities which make him equal to two of the prophets, apostles and proofs of God to His creatures and about the authenticity and correctness of which there can be no doubt.

God, the Mighty and High, said in mentioning Jesus, son of Mary, the spirit (ruh) and word of God, and the prophet and apostle of God to His creatures, when He mentioned the story of his mother's conceiving and giving birth to him and the miraculous nature of that: She said: How can I have a son when no man has ever touched me and I have not been adulterous. He answered: As it (shall be), for your Lord said: That will be easy for Me and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from us.

It is a matter which is decreed (XIX 21). Among the signs of God, the Blessed and Exalted, concerning the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, peace be on him, was his speaking in the cradle. By that normal human behaviour was transcended and in it there was great wonder and an illustrious miracle to the minds of men.

Among the signs of God concerning the Commander of the faithful, peace be on him, was the perfection of his intellect, dignity and knowledge of God and His Apostle, His blessing and peace be on him and his family, despite his youth and his being in outward form still only a child when the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, summoned him to believe in him and acknowledge him, and made him responsible for knowing his rights, and recognising his Creator and His unity.

(He also) entrusted him with the secrets of His religion, the defence and preservation of it, and the fulfilment of the trust in it.
