On Indications of the Divine Leadership of Ar-Ridha عليه السلام

47-36 Muhammad ibn Ali Majilawayh - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isa al-Yaqtini, on the authority of the Abbasid Hisham, “I went to see Abil Hassan Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام and wanted to ask him to pray for a cure for my migraine which I had had for sometime. I also wanted to ask him to give me two pieces of material which I could use to enter the state of ritual consecration for the Hajj. After I went in and asked my questions, Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام answered them. I forgot about my needs and got up to leave. When I wanted to say farewell, the Imam عليه السلام told me, ‘Sit down.’ I sat down in front of the Imam عليه السلام. The Imam عليه السلام put his hand over my head and prayed for me. Then he عليه السلام asked for two of his own robes, gave them to me and said, ‘Wear these to enter the state of ritual consecration.’”Al-Abbasi said, “When I was in Mecca, I tried very hard to purchase two Sa’eedi garments: one for me and one for my son. However, I could not find any. When I returned to Medina, I went to see Abil Hassan Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام. When I had said farewell and was about to leave, the Imam عليه السلام asked for two Sa’eedi garments just as I had wished for and gave them to me.”
