Mufassil narrates that one day Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.) asked him, “ Do you know! What
was the raiment of Hazrat Yusuf (a.s.)?” Mufassil expressed his ignorance about this. The
Imam (a.s.) said, “ When Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s.) was thrown into the fire of Nimrod, Allah
sent a raiment for him. This raiment was not affected by extremes of heat and cold.
Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s.) gave this raiment to Hazrat Ishaq (a.s.) at the time of his death. Then
it came to Hazrat Yaqoob (a.s.) who, in turn, gave it to his son Hazrat Yusuf.(a.s) This
was the same raiment, smelling which, Hazrat Yaqub (a.s.) said that he was getting the
fragrance of his son Hazrat Yusuf (a.s.) from it. “
Mufassil asked the Imam (a.s.), “ Then ! Where did the raiment go?”
The Imam (a.s.) said, “ The raiment then went to the deserving, the Ahl al Baiyt! It is now
with us along with the other Holy Relics viz. The Bier of Bani Israel, the arms and armor
of the Prophet (a.s.) etc..The one who possesses these things is the Vicegerent and
Successor of the Prophet (a.s.).”
“ O Mufassil! The Vicegerent of the Prophet (a.s.) is one who is visited by the angels.
These angels offer their prayers standing behind him. The angels will protect the
Vicegerent from the evil enemies. . The angels also inform the Vicegerent about the kings
who are to die and those who will ascend to the thrones!”
Sadeer Sairfi narrates that Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) ordered him to go out from
Medina for some errand. He was still on his way when a man overtook him and gave him
a letter that had a fresh seal on it. He opened the letter and found that it was from the
Imam a.s.). The letter contained fresh instructions for him. He was wondering how the
carrier could reach him so fast that he had already travelled more than fair distance
towards his destination. Then he thought, the carrier must be an angel to have reached
him with the Imam (a.s.)’s missive so fast!.
On his return he asked the Imam (a.s.), “ O my Master! Did you send that letter to me
with some angel?” He replied, “ No! It was a Jinn who is generally present in our
service!”
Abu Hamza Shimali narrates that he was once travelling with Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s.)
half way between Mecca and Medina when he noticed a dog coming in their direction.
When it came near them, he saw that it was a bird. Surprised, he asked the Imam (a.s.), “
O my Master! What is this?” He replied, “ This a Jinn who brings the news of the death
of Hisham.”
Kulaini narrates from Saad Askaf that he went to the presence of Imam Mohammed Baqir
(a.s.). When he was taking leave, the Imam (a.s.) said, “ Wait awhile!” In the meanwhile
some tall persons with yellowish faces entered the place of the Imam (a.s.). I asked the
Imam (a.s.), “ Who these people are?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “ These are Jinns, your
