Allah Balqi said, “ O son of the Prophet (a.s.)! What we had heard happening for Hazrat
Maryam (a.s.), we have seen happen before our eyes today!”
Hassan bin Abdallah wanted Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) to show him his miracle. The
Imam (a.s.) noticed that there was a tree nearby. He asked Hassan to go near the tree and
tell that the Imam (a.s.) wanted it to come to him. Hassan did likewise. The tree, rending
the soil holding its roots, proceeded fast towards the Imam (a.s.). The Imam (a.s.) ordered
the tree to return to its original place, which it did!
Hassan narrates from Abu Baseer that one day he was in the presence of Imam
Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) when he asked him, “ O Master! Are you the Vicegerent of the
Prophet (a.s.)?”
The Imam (a.s.) replied, “ No doubt! I am the successor of the Prophet (a.s.).”
Abu Baseer said, ‘ The Prophet (a.s.) was the successor of the earlier Prophets (a.s.) and
had all the characteristics of theirs in him. Similarly these characteristics should be there
in you too!”
The Imam (a.s.) said, “ No doubt! They are there!”
Abu Baseerasked, “ O Imam (a.s.)! Can you bring back the dead to life and give light to
the eyes of a blind person?”
The Imam (a.s.) replied, “ Yes! With Allah’s orders such thungs can happen.” Then the
Imam (a.s.) called Abu Baseer near him and touched his eyes with his fingers. The sight
of both his eyes was instantly restored. The Imam (a.s.) asked him, “ Do you wish to
remain with the restored eyesight? Or you wish to return to the former condition to be
eligible for entry to the Heaven?”
Abu Baseer said, “ I want to be back to my earlier condition!”
Ali bin Mugheera narrates that in Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s) was at Mina when he passed
near a woman who, along with her children, was lamenting about the death of her cow.
The Imam (a.s.) asked her the reason for her sorrow.
The woman said, “ My children are orphaned and the cow was the only source of
sustenance for us.”
The Imam (a.s.) said, “ Shall I put the cow back to life for you?”
The Woman said, “ Yes “
The Imam (a.s.) offered two Rakat of prayer, went near the cow and kicked it, saying, “
Qum beizn Allah! – Rise with Allah’s Orders” The cow was restored to life.
