106. The favor of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) toward a Christian family
(1) The late Shaykh Ḥasan Baṣīrī narrated from the late Shaykh Ḥasan Hātifī that a Christian man who had become Muslim had written the sacred name of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) on top of his car. When asked about the reason, he said:
One day I was driving with my family. While crossing the Qūshjī pass, the car overturned towards a very deep valley. In complete despair, we turned for help to that noble figure. At that moment, a person appeared and pointed at the car. The car hit a rock and stopped.
When we got out, we didn’t see that person anymore, but we, the car, and the cargo were all completely safe. We narrated the incident to the owner of the cargo who was from Tehran. He took us to the presence of the late Āyatullāh Burūjirdī (may his secret be sanctified). We became Muslims at the hands of that great man, and from that day, we partnered in the name of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl. We have two other vehicles which we have also shared with him. With the support of the late Āyatullāh Burūjirdī, we were also blessed with the opportunity to visit Karbalā.
(2) The late Āyatullāh Ḥājj Sayyid ʿAlī Aṣghar Ṣādiqī Khūʾī (1312–1402 AH) narrated: We were in the sacred courtyard of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) talking with a group of friends when a shocked man entered and said, “Where is the grave of Imām ʿAbbās?”
We scolded him and said, “If you are a Muslim, why don’t you recognize an Imām from a non-Imām? And if you are not a Muslim, what business do you have here?”
He said: “Our ship was sinking in such-and-such sea. All means were cut off from me. I remembered that when Muslims are helpless, they take refuge in Hazrat ʿAbbās. I too took refuge in him. Suddenly, a hand came, grabbed me by the collar, and placed me on the shore.
Right there I made a vow that after my rescue, I would visit the grave of that noble figure, and now I have come to fulfill that duty.”

(3) The late Ḥājj Mīr‘ābidīn narrated: On the day of Tāsū‘ā, I was traveling to Tabrīz to visit a sick person. A young man stopped his car and gave me a ride. When we reached the destination, I wanted to pay him, but he refused and said:
"I am a Christian. I had a problem and on the day of Tāsū‘ā I sought help in a mosque. My prayer was answered. I made a vow that I would work for free on the days of Tāsū‘ā."
(4) Āyatullāh Sayyid Ṣādiq Shīrāzī, on Saturday night 11/5/88 (corresponding to the 10th of Sha‘bān 1430 AH), narrated from Āqā Ya‘fūfī, one of the scholars of Jabal ‘Āmil, who said:
One day I had gone to Damascus to visit Hazrat Zaynab (‘alayhā al-salām). On my return, I met a driver working on the Damascus mountain route. He asked, “Are you going to Ba‘labakk?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Please come, I’m ready to go.”
I saw two women sitting in the back seat, and I sat in the front. We set off immediately. On the way, the driver told one of the women, “Tell your story to the ḥājj.”
The woman said: “I am a Christian. Several years passed after my marriage without having children. My husband said: ‘I love children. I’ll have to take another wife, but not here so that you won’t be hurt. I’ll go to Europe and choose a wife there who can bear children.’”
I was deeply upset but said nothing, because he had the right.
A few days later when he returned home, he handed me a plane ticket and said: ‘I’m leaving on such and such date.’ That night, I cried till morning. The pillow under my head was completely soaked.
Toward the end of the night, I fell asleep and saw in a dream a very dignified person standing on a horse in the balcony of our house, saying to me:
“We will give you a child, on the condition that you name him after my father.” I thought he was Hazrat Masīḥ (a.s.), so I replied: “But you don’t have a father.”
He said: “I am Abū al-Faḍl, and my father is Hazrat ‘Alī (a.s.).” When I woke up, I told my husband about the dream.
My husband said: “I will cancel my flight. If you become pregnant, I have no excuse to leave you or choose another wife.”
A few days after this dream, signs of pregnancy appeared. I went to the doctor, who said: “You’re pregnant and the child is a boy.”
Eventually, my son was born and I named him ‘Alī. Now he is four years old.
When we reached her home, she showed me the balcony and said: “Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) was standing right there.”
When she got down from the car, she called her son, who came to the balcony.
She said: “This is the very son whom Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) granted me, and I named him ‘Alī according to his command.”

(5) On Wednesday, 9/6/84 (corresponding to 25 Rajab 1426 AH), one of the friends who travels to Isfahan to recite majlis (mourning gatherings) narrated:
During the ten days of ʿĀshūrā, I had a scheduled sermon in Qāʾimīyah of Isfahan. The driver took the wrong route. We suddenly saw there was an elaborate food distribution going on, and a large flag had been raised with the inscription:
“O Abā al-Faḍl al-ʿAbbās, help me!” But above it was a cross.
Surprised, we got down and asked about the cross. They said: “The one who is sponsoring the food is a Christian.” We asked: “Where is he?” They guided us to a room where he was sitting alone and did not pay attention to us. They said: “He is the one who invited the reciter. He has come from Qom.”
Suddenly he became emotional and kept repeating: “O Abā al-Faḍl al-ʿAbbās! O Moon of Banī Hāshim!” Then he showed us a picture of the shrine of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl and said:
“Every year I sponsor this food distribution and invite a reciter to deliver a majlis near the cooking pots. Just a few moments ago, I remembered that this year we had not invited a reciter.”
I looked at the picture of the shrine of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) and said: “Is it possible for You to send us a reciter this year?”
Not even five minutes had passed when you arrived.
