جاءَ الْحَقُّ وَ زَھَقَ الْباطِلُ اِنَّ الباطِلَ كانَ زَھُوقا…
“Truth has [now] arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is
[by its nature] bound to perish.” (Surah Al-Isrāʼ, Verse 6)
Then, Hakīmeh kept on, ‘When I took that prosperous child infant to The Excellency, [the infant] said hello to his father, once he saw him.
There, The Excellency took him and rubbed his blessed on his [the infant’s] two eyes. He also twisted her blessed tongue in his mouth and placed her on the palm of her left hand.1
He rubbed his hand on his head and said, ‘Speak, son, by the power of God!’
Then, Sahib al Amr2 (mgehr) sought refuge in God and stated:
بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحیمِ وَ نُريدُ اَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِى الاَرْضِ وَ نَجْعَلَھُمْ اَئِمَّةَ وَ”
“. نَجْعَلھُمُ الْوارِثینَ وَ نُمَكِّنَ لَھُمْ فِى الاَرْضِ وَ نُرِىَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ ھامانَ وَ جُنُودَھُما مِنْھُمْ ما كانُوا يَحْذَرُون
Based on valid Aḥādīth, this holy verse was revealed in the honor of that Imām (mgehr) and his noble ancestors (pbu th).
Translation:
In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful
“And We wished to be Gracious to those who were being depressed in the land,
to make them leaders [in Faith] and make them heirs. To establish a firm place for them in the land, and to show Pharaoh, Haman,
and their hosts, at their hands, the very things against which they were taking
precautions
Then, His Excellency Sahib Al-Mar (mgehr) recited, “Peace be upon His Majesty the Messenger of Allah, His Excellency Amir al-Mu’menīn (pbuh)and [10 Shiites’ infallible] Imāms before his honorable father.
[Meanwhile he was about to recite ṣalawāt3on his father], many birds have gathered around The Excellency’s blessed head. There [Imām Askarī (pbuh)] called one of the birds,
‘Take the child, protect him best and bring him here, each forty days.’
The bird picked up The Excellency and flew to sky, and the other birds followed it.
There, Imām Haṣan Askarī (pbuh) stated, ‘I entrust you to the one to whom Moses [pbuh]’s mother entrusted him to.’
Well, Narjis Khātūn cried. Yet, His Excellency stated, ‘Calm down! He won’t drink milk from no one’s breast, but you! It will take him back so soon; the way it took back Moses [pbuh] to his mother!’ [Yes,] the Almighty God stated:
“Thus did We restore him to his mother, that her eye might be comforted…”
Afterward, Hakīmeh wondered, ‘Who was that bird, that you gave Sahib [mgehr] to it?’
[His Excellency] stated, ‘He was the Holy Spirit, who is entrusted to the Imāms [pbu th]. Permitted by God, he makes them victorious, protects them from faults and adorns them with knowledge.’
Hakīmeh kept on, “After forty days, I went to His Excellency’s service. When I entered, I saw a baby was walking about the house. I said in surprise, ‘My Sayyid! Who is this two-year-old baby? His Excellency smiled and stated…
1- This is a special divine type of kissing which has spiritual reasons. It isn’t done by usual people.’
2- Sahib al Amr, is one of Imām Mahdī (mgehr)’s titles. It means “Master of Command”. It’s because, he didn’t become martyred. And he is present, although cannot be seen by ordinary people. He helps, guides and saves many people. And he is The Savior who will emerge and command people.
3- It refers to “Peace be upon Muḥammad and his family.”
