He is the source of substances for the destitute.
He is the source of substances for the
destitute. The sky and the earth also owe their sustenance to him. To keep this point ever green in memory, it would not be out of way to
repeat the narrations of Ayatullah Waheed Khurasani referred to him
Mirza Ahmed son of Akhund Khurasani the author of "Kefayat". He narrates
that "my mother was unwell. Day by day her illness was getting worse. We were very much puzzled. The doctors were in a fix. One day we
received the news of the arrival of an elderly person in Najaf-e-Ashraf
expert in astronomy. My brother Mirza Mohammad and I went to him and met
him in the Holy tomb of Hazrat Amir-al-Momineen (A.S.). We told him that
we have come to inquire about an urgent thing from you. We will concentrate on that problem conscientiously and you give us the
reply. The elderly man moved the heads of rosary and said that the
disease had spread all over the body of the patient for whom you want to
enquire from me. The chance of recovery are very weak and within a day
or two the patient would die.. Our intention was to inquire about the
reason of illness of our mother. Second time my brother thought
conscientiously and requested the saint to tell about it. The heads of
rosary were again moved by him but his facial expression suddenly
changed. This process was thrice repeated and all the three times he
He then said that the man about whom they wanted to know was first seen
in Lebanon and then was found in Kaba, now he is found in Madina. He
moved once again the heads of rosary said that I have witnessed that the
sun was circling around his head and he is Imam-e-Zamana (A.S.)" This
point is pertinent as the Imam (A.S.) is the centre of the universe so
the sun has to circle around him. Today we are living in the domain of such a noble and exalted Imam
(A.S.). It is a pity that we are claiming to be his followers but have
departed form the ways dictated and directed by him. If we are sincere
in claiming to be his followers, we must be attached to him spiritually
to free ourselves form the hardship of this world and the world
May Allah increase our marefat about Imam-e-Mahdi (A.S)
