101. A Glimpse of the Grace of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.)

(1) The late Shaykh Ḥasan Baṣīrī narrates from the late Shaykh ʿAlī Mullāzāda Yakānī (born 1303 AH – died 1387 Shamsī): We were tenants and in great distress. A house in our neighborhood was sold for four thousand tomans. I deeply wished that the house could be mine, but I didn’t even have a single toman saved. I turned to Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) in tawassul. That night, in a dream, I had the honor of appearing before that noble Hazrat. He placed his blessed hand on my shoulder and said three times: “That house is yours.”

A few days later, the owner of the house called me and said: That transaction was canceled due to some reasons. If you are interested, come, and let’s proceed with the deal. I said: I will buy it for two thousand tomans. He said: That’s not possible.

Some neighbors came and convinced him to agree at two thousand four hundred tomans, and the deal was finalized. We sold whatever household items we had, including my wife’s dowry, bought the house, and with the blessing of tawassul to the radiant moon of Banī Hāshim, we were forever relieved from tenancy.

(2) The late Baṣīrī narrates from Mr. Aḥmadī, a merchant from Māko, that I fell ill with a severe disease. I became completely bedridden and stayed at home.

One morning, our shepherd came and said: Last night, I saw you in a dream walking toward me on foot. I said: Be careful. You said: No, Hazrat Qamar Banī Hāshim has given me shifāʾ (healing).

Upon waking up, I decided to sacrifice a particular sheep in his name. I got up, brought that sheep. The shepherd slaughtered it, and on that very day I was freed from illness.

(3) In Kirmānshāh, a paralyzed man was brought to a majlis of mourning and seated in front of the pulpit. At the end of the gathering, everyone stood up, chanted together, and said, “Yā Abā al-Faḍl.”

That paralyzed man also sat and said, “Yā Abā al-Faḍl.”

In that moment, a noble figure appeared before the man and said: “Why are you sitting? You too, stand up.”

He replied: “I cannot, I am paralyzed.”

Once again, he was told: “Stand up.” He said: “Then give me your hand so I can hold it and rise.”

He was told: “Have you not heard that in Karbalāʾ my hands were severed?”

Upon hearing these words, the man fainted. When he regained consciousness, he realized that he had recovered his health.

(4) A man goes to Tehran in search of a job. He wanders for several days but cannot find any work. One night, he turns to Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) and says: "You had promised water to the daughters of Imām Husain (a.s.), but it was not fulfilled. After falling from your horse, you didn’t wish to be taken to the tents. I have promised bread to my family—how can I return to them empty-handed? Either death or salvation!"

The next morning, a sayyid approaches him and asks: “What do you need?” He replies: “I am unemployed.” The sayyid asks about his literacy. He says: “I can read and write.” The sayyid hands him paper and a pen and says: “Sit in front of this shop and do writing work.”

He begins the work and earns five tomans for each letter. His business flourishes and he eventually becomes a wealthy man.

(5) The late Karbalāʾī Majīd Raḥīmiyān from Tāzeh Maḥallah of Khoy, a simple and sincere man, notices that a group is preparing to leave for the holy shrines. He is moved and, without any preparation, joins them on the journey.

In Karbalāʾ, he runs out of money. He visits the shrine of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) and presents his situation. When he returns to his companions, they say: “Where were you? Āqā Mashhadī Qāsim came looking for you several times!”

Just then, Mashhadī Qāsim enters and hands him some money. He refuses to accept it. Finally, Mashhadī Qāsim says: “This is the receipt of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.). When you return to Khoy, in the Shahānq neighborhood, in such-and-such alley, return it to me.”

The late Karbalāʾī Majīd accepts the money. Upon returning to Khoy, he visits that address multiple times but never finds any trace of such a person.

(6) Ḥājj Ḥasan, a trustworthy timber merchant, narrates: I traveled to Karbalāʾ. There, I became severely ill—so much so that I could not sleep or eat. After several days, I visited a doctor. Before I collected the medication, I went to the shrine of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) and said: “My master! I made a mistake by going to the doctor. Healing is in your hands.” Then, I began to weep and fainted.

One of my travel companions saw me and brought me to the residence. I ate a little food and regained my health.

(7) The late Āyatullāh Sayyid Maḥmūd Mujtahidī (passed away on 16th Ramaḍān 1414 AH) narrated to me: One of our friends became seriously ill, such that he was on the verge of death for several months.

All of us were deeply troubled by his condition. There was an old man who occasionally brought us news. I asked him about the situation. He said: “This man had vowed a sheep for Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.), but he forgot to fulfill it. If he completes his vow, he will recover.”

I informed his brother. He replied: “You know that my brother has spent his whole life serving the Ahl al-Bayt (‘alayhim al-salām).”

I said: “In any case, this vow must be fulfilled.”

He went, bought a sheep, and took it to his brother’s house to sacrifice it. When he arrived, he saw his brother sitting and eating food.

It became clear that at the very moment he had purchased the sheep with that intention, his brother had risen and, for the first time in months, sat at the food mat to eat. This incident was narrated by the late Khalkhālī quoting me.
