The Joy of Worship
man finished his duꜤāˈ and began eating them. This is when I decided to approach and speak to him. “I saw you making duꜤā, and I was saying āmīn”, I said, “so please allow me to have some of these grapes!”
“Come and eat with me!” the pious man رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said, “However, do not save any one of them.” Thus, I began to eat. These grapes were unexplainably delicious, the likes of which I had never tasted. What astonished me alongside this was despite eating to a full stomach, I noticed the bunch of grapes had not lessened at all.
After we finished eating, the pious man gestured towards the two new shawls. “Take any one of these you wish”, he said. I replied by saying I had no need for a shawl at that time. He then tied both shawls to his body, picked up some older shawls which were laid on the floor in his hands, and walked away. I followed him to Ṣafā and Marwah. A poor person saw the man and exclaimed, “O descendant of Allāh’s Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Please cover my body!”
The pious man gave him the shawls he was holding in his hands and walked further on. As he left, I went to the poor man and asked, “The person who gave you these shawls; who was he?” He replied, “He is Imam JaꜤfar al-Ṣādiq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, descendant of Allāh’s Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.”
اللہُ اَکْبَر- I then began looking for the great Imām so I may hear hadīth from him. Sadly, I was never able to meet him again.[1]
May Allāh have mercy upon him and forgive us without accountability for his sake. اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم
