Praying under the water spout of Ka士bah

The fifteen is, it has been narrated from Abi Mu岣mmad Ha峁n ibn Wajna’ that he said, ‘Once I was prostrating under the spout; the water-spout of the great Kaaba, in 54th Hajj. After the Isha prayer, I was performing supplication to God, when I felt that someone is shaking me and saying: “O! Ha峁n ibn Wajna'”. So I stood up and saw, there was a sallow-faced, rather thin bondwoman, looking forty or more. She began to proceed me up, I (followed her and) did not ask her anything until we reached the house of Khad墨ja.

There, there was a room with a [special] wall in the middle, and it was provided with stairs which led to the upstairs. The bondwoman went up and then a voice called me, ‘O’ Ha峁n! come upstairs’. So I went up and then stood by a door. Then, S膩hib az-Zam膩n (mgehr) stated, ‘O’ Ha峁n! You think, we are not aware of you?! By God, you have never attended in Hajj, unless I was with you’.

At that time, I fainted deeply and fell on my face. When I woke up, he stated to me,’ O’ Ha峁n! Stay in the house of Ja’far ibn Mu岣mmad in Medina, and do not worry about your food, your drink, or what to cover your private parts with. Then he gifted me a book, which it contained 鈥淒u士a示 al-Faraj鈥, and 鈥淪alaw膩t upon his Majesty鈥. Then, he pointed to that Du士a示 and stated, ‘Read the Du鈥檃, and read Salaw膩t upon me like this, and do not give them to anyone else, except my close friends. Truly, the Almighty God will gift you the grace’. Then I requested, ‘O’ my Mawl膩! Will I meet you again?’

he stated, 鈥極, Ha峁n! It happens, if The Almighty God wills!鈥 Ha峁n explained,

鈥業 returned from Hajj and headed to Ja士far ibn Mu岣mmad鈥檚 house. I just went there for these three purposes: To renew my ablution, to sleep there, and to break my fast.

[To my surprise,] whenever I entered my room there at the time of breaking the fast, I saw the jug full of water. Also, there was a piece of bread above it, and there was what I desired to eat, on the bread! I would eat them and they were enough for me.

In addition, there were winter clothes in wintertime, summer clothes in summer. I would carry water to the house during the day, and I would sprinkle it on the yard Then I would leave the empty jug.

Moreover, they would bring food for me, but I didn鈥檛 need it. So, I would take it, since I didn鈥檛 want for my attendant to realize [what I had in my mind]. After that, I would it as alms.鈥

The author says:

In the book Najm al Th膩qib, our Shaykh said, 鈥極ne of the honorable titles of S膩hib az Zam膩n (mgehr), is Mu ubdi’ 膧y膩t. It means, the one who manifests the divine signs; or, his existence manifests and appears divine signs.

It is because, since God鈥檚 caliphate spread on earth and the prophets and messengers (pbu th) walked on earth, to guide the creatures through their Manifest Signs [proofs] and great miracles. And from the time, they set foot in the position of guidance, declared the word truth and invalidated falsehood, The Almighty did not give such a honor and respect to anyone, and did not send to anyone the amount of verses that he used for his Mahd墨 (mgehr).

When he emerges, he will be in the shape of a thirty-year-old man, and a white cloud always casts its shadow over his head, and he will call people lucidly.

When His Majesty 鈥淢ahd墨 Al e- Mu岣mmad (mgehr) [the descend of Prophet Mu岣mmad (pbuh&h)] puts his hand on the head of his followers, their intellects will be perfect. In his blessed camp, there will be a corps of angels, while they are apparent and people can see them. The same happened, when people could see angels in the era of Prophet 示Idr墨s (pbuh). Also, there will be a corps of Jinn.

The light of his face will brighten the earth so much that, there will be no need for sun and moon. Moreover, insects and predators will not damage and harm, and there will be no fear and horror of them any longer. The earth will reveal its treasure, and the firmament will not circle such fast. [It may refer to wonderful events in the sky]

His army can walk on water. The mountains and rocks will reveal the disbelievers who may be hidden within them, and they can recognize disbelievers by his face.

Many revived people will be in His Excellency鈥檚 entourage (mgehr), and they will strike the sinciputs of the living with the sword. These are some of the strange signs, as well as the signs that will appear before his rise and emergence; the number of which cannot be counted. Many of them are recorded in the books written about occultation; all of which are as a prelude to the emergence of His Excellency. [Know that,] even one tenth of those [events] have not happened for any of God鈥檚 Proofs.
