The twenty-third story was about, dispersing the Arabs of “Unaizah†from the way of pilgrims, by His Excellency.
This story was verbally narrated to me by the master of Faqīhs, the mainstay of scholars, the divine scholar, the great Mr. Sayyid Mahdī Qazwīnī, who lived in Hillah.
He stated, ‘Once, I came out of Hillah on the midnight of 14th of Shaʾban, to visit [Holy Shrine of] the Excellency AbÅ« Ê¿Abd AllÄh (pbuh). When we reached to Al-Hindiyya river, crossed it and went to the western side, I saw pilgrims who had left Hillah and its surroundings, and pilgrims who had come from Najaf Ashraf and its surroundings. They all were restricted in the houses of the Bani Turuf tribe, of the Hindiyya nomads.
There was no way, they could go to KarbalÄ; since the tribe of Ê¿Unaizah had blocked the way and inhibited people passing through the road!
they didn’t let anyone get out of KarbalÄ, or enter there! And if so, they would plunder and loot him/ her.
However, he continued, ‘Well, when I saw an Arab, I dismounted and prayed Noon and Afternoon Prayer. I sat there, waiting to see what would happen to the pilgrims! There sky was cloudy and it rained little by little.
As we were sitting, we saw all the pilgrims got out of the houses and headed to KarbalÄ! So, I asked the one who was with me, ‘Go and ask what has happened.’ He went out and when he returned, he told me, ‘Bani Turuf tribe came out with guns and pledged to bring the pilgrims to KarbalÄ, even if they had to fight with Unayzah.
