98. The Reunion of a mother and her son through tawassul to Qamar Banī Hāshim (a.s.)

Ḥujjat al-Islām wal-Muslimīn Āqā Ḥājj Shaykh Ghulām Riḍā Asadī narrates:

I lived for years in Dezful, and in our neighborhood there was a woman who had only one son, named ʿAnbar. He was a smart young man, and his father was known as Mashhadī Muḥammad Naqqāsh.

I was familiar with this family and had regular interactions with them.

In the early years of ʿAnbar’s puberty, his father passed away.

Sometime after his father's death, ʿAnbar left home due to an unknown reason and never returned.

His mother remained heartbroken, always weeping and distressed over his absence.

________________________________________

Twenty years passed since ʿAnbar went missing.

One day, his mother, along with two other women, set out on a pilgrimage to the holy shrines (ʿAtabāt).

On one occasion, the three women entered the shrine of Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.).

ʿAnbar’s mother clung to the shrine grate, and cried out:

"I want my son back from you!"

She cried so intensely that she fainted. They revived her, but she began weeping again, and her condition became serious. Her companions placed her in a taxi to take her to the hospital.

The taxi driver asked, “Why is this lady so disturbed?”

They explained the story.

He asked, “Where are you from?”

They said, “Dezful.”

He asked, “Which neighborhood?”

They told him.

He asked, “What is the name of this lady?”

When they told him her name, tears began streaming from his eyes.

He stopped the car, got out, and said:

“I am ʿAnbar. This is my mother!”

The mother recognized him too.

They threw their arms around each other, weeping.

ʿAnbar then took them to his home and hosted his mother for several months after their miraculous reunion.
