Narrations Regarding the Birth of Al-Qaim عليه السلام

7 - Narrated to us Muhammad bin Ali Majilaway رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar: “Abu Ali Khaizarani narrates on the authority of a slave girl he had presented to Abu Muhammad عليه السلام and when Ja’far Kazzab had seized over the house, she had escaped from Ja’far and Abu Ali had married her. Abu Ali said: She told me that she had been present at the birth of the Master عليه السلام and that the Master’s mother’s name is Saqeel; and that Abu Muhammad عليه السلام had told the Master’s mother what will happen to his family. Therefore, she had asked Abu Muhammad عليه السلام to pray for her that her death comes before his. Thus, she died before him in the lifetime of Abu Muhammad عليه السلام. On her tombstone it is inscribed: This is the grave of Umm Muhammad.
Abu Ali said: I heard this bondmaid reminisce that when the Master was born, she saw a beam of light shining from him and reaching the zenith of the heaven; and that she saw white birds descending from the heavens and touching their wings against his head and face and the rest of his body and then fly away. She said: We informed Abu Muhammad عليه السلام about it. He laughed and then said: These are angels from the heavens, who descended to be blessed by him. They are his aides when he rises.”
