107. The Favor of Qamar Banī Hāshim (a.s.) upon an Ibāḍī Weightlifter

On Wednesday, 21/77/88 (corresponding to 25 Ṣafar 1431 AH), the respected preacher Āqā Sayyid Muḥammad Bāqir Fālī narrated in the presence of a group of followers of Wilāyah at the Imām Riḍā School in the sacred city of Mashhad:

In Muscat, the capital of Oman, there was a famous weightlifter named Nabeel, who followed the Ibāḍī school of thought.

He was the national weightlifting champion. One day, while lifting a heavy weight, the ligaments in his knees snapped, and he could no longer bend his legs — at most, he could bend them at a right angle. Doctors said surgery was necessary, and even after surgery, he would never be able to lift heavy weights again.

His mother was a Shīʿah. She said to him, “Come with me to the Husainiyyah, we will seek intercession from Imām Husain (a.s.).” He mocked her. But the mother went alone and, during the duʿā, she pleaded with Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) for his healing.

When she returned home, she told Nabeel: “I prayed for your healing and sought help from Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.).” Nabeel replied in a formal tone: “Thank you,” but he remained unconvinced.

The next day, he went to the gym and lifted a 90-kilogram weight. In the mirror, he saw the reflection of a noble figure standing behind him, with a feather in his headgear — resembling the way Hazrat Abū al-Faḍl (a.s.) is often depicted.

Nabeel did not dare turn around, but he felt that the 90 kg weight had lifted “as if it were a feather.”

Then he lifted 130 kg, 180 kg, and then 210 kg, all easily, without strain — and his knees bent freely.

The next day, he went to the doctor and said, “I lifted 210 kilograms.” The doctor was amazed. He had a surgery appointment scheduled for three days later, but surgery was no longer needed.

Āqā Fālī said: “I saw both the initial and final medical reports myself. I asked Nabeel to come to the Husainiyyah and bring the reports with him.” That night, he brought the reports, and I showed them to the people. Then I said to him, “Rise!” He stood up, and all saw him rise and sit easily.

Nabeel was a well-known public figure and recognized by the attendees. Following this favor from Qamar Banī Hāshim (a.s.), Nabeel and seventeen of his relatives — all Ibāḍīs — accepted the path of Shīʿism.

Interestingly, Nabeel had been receiving medical care at the king’s expense.
