\n There are several well-known examples on exhibiting such powers by, even some of the unbelievers, i.e., Samri putting together a golden calf and enabling it to speak by making use of the dirt underneath the feet of Jibrail -as [4] and a non-believer who used to supplicate for the rain in the time of the Imam Zain-ul-Abadeen -asws and it would always rain because of his supplications, pleading to Allah -azwj through the bones of a deceased Prophet -as [5] .\u00a0 Here we have selected a relatively unknown example from Mullah Mohammed Baqir Majelisi\u2019s book \u2018Ainual Hiyat\u2019: \n It has been reported by Majelisi, from reliable narrators that once a famous and well renowned fortune-teller visited Amir-ul-Momineen -asws and said: \u2018I am an astrologist and I have heard that you -asws too have knowledge about the unforeseen.\u00a0 I want to ask a few questions from you -asws or you -asws may ask me instead.\u00a0 Amir-ul-Momineen -asws said: \u2018The knowledge of unseen is with Allah -azwj and no one knows about it and I know only that much which He -azwj has Transmitted to me.\u00a0 However, if you claim to have such knowledge then tell me what I have hidden in my fist?\u00a0 After wondering for a long time (without being able to answer) and at that Imam -asws asked:\u00a0 Can you tell or not?\u00a0 He said: \u2018It\u2019s a small thing but I am wondering how did you get an egg of a bird, from the top of a mountain, which is so high and impossible to reach?

\n Imam -asws opened his fist and it turned out to be an egg.\u00a0 Imam -asws closed his fist again and asked now tell me what do I have in my fist?\u00a0 He said: \u2018The egg, which was taken out of that nest of the bird, has been placed back there and your fist is empty.\u00a0 Imam -asws opened his hand and there was nothing in it. \n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : \u2018If now I ask a question from you will you give me an honest reply? \n Fortune-teller: \u2018Yes, I promise you.

\n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : How did you get this knowledge? \n Fortune-teller: I would not have replied to this question but I will, since I have given you my words.\u00a0 This excellence is due to my hard work, which is based on the principle that whatever my heart tells me, I always act against it. \n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : What does your heart says about you becoming Muslim? \n Fortune-teller: My heart dislikes it. \n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : Why don\u2019t you then act against it?
