On Indications of the Divine Leadership of Ar-Ridha عليه السلام
37 - حَدَّثَنا الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ إِدْرِيس عَنْ أَبيهِ عَنْأَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى قالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَمْلاكِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ لا سَحَابَ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا بَرَزْنَا قَالَ: حَمَلْتُمْ مَعَكُمُ الْمَمَاطِرَ قُلْنَا لا وَمَا حَاجَتُنَا إِلَى الْمِمْطَرِ وَلَيْسَ سَحَابٌ وَلا نَتَخَوَّفُ الْمَطَرَ فَقَالَ لَكِنِّي حَمَلْتُهُ وَسَتُمْطَرُونَ قَالَ فَمَا مَضَيْنَا إِلا يَسِيراً حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ سَحَابَةٌ وَمُطِرْنَا حَتَّى أَهَمَّتْنَا أَنْفُسُنَا مِنْهَا فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلا ابْتَلَّ.
47-37 Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad ibn Idris - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Husayn ibn Musa, “On a clear day we went out along with Abil Hassan Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام to some property of his. Once we got to the town outskirts, Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام said, ‘Have you taken any umbrellas for yourselves?’ We said, ‘No. We do not need any umbrellas since it is not cloudy.’ Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام said, ‘But I have brought one with me and soon you will get wet.’ When we went a little further on, a cloud appeared and it rained. All of us were concerned about ourselves and we all got wet.”
