The Birth of abu al-Hassan Musa ibn Ja‘far عليه السلام

6. From Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abdallah ibn al-Mughira who has said the following: "The pious servant of Allah (Imam Kadhim عليه السلام) passed in Mina by a woman who was weeping and her children around her also were weeping because her cow was dead. He went close to her and asked, 'What has caused you to weep O slave of Allah?' She said, 'O servant of Allah, we have orphan children. Our cow that was our means for our living has died and we are left without any means of living.' He asked 'Oh maiden of Allah, would you like me to bring your cow back to life?' She was just inspired to say, 'Yes, O servant of Allah I will be very happy.' He stepped aside and said two Rak‘at prayers. He then raised his hands gently and moved his lips. He then stood up and called the cow to get up. He pushed the cow with his foot or a staff and she was up straight and standing. When the woman looked at the cow she cried and said, 'Jesus, son of Mary, I swear by the Lord of the Ka‘aba!' Many people gathered around and he disappeared among them and went."
