IMAM-E-ZAMANA (AS) CAME TO THE RESCUE
An event has been reported in
Badayeul Akhbar written by Mulla
Ismail Sabzwari, page 150 and
Safeenatul Behar volume one page
536 and Jawaherul Bayan. It is
narrated that the king of
Bahrainwas a Christian and his
minister was a Khariji. The
minister presented a few
pomegranates to the king. The
strange thing was that the names
of caliphs were imprinted on
those pomegranates. The minister
tried to convince the king that
his religion was correct and the
order of khilafat was divine.
Somehow, the king was convinced
that his minister was right and
the Imamia sect was on the wrong
path. He invited all the
important Shia leaders and
showed those pomegranates and
asked them to explain it within
a day or threatened to kill
them.
It caused a lot of anxiety in
Shia community. They unanimously
agreed-on ten most pious
scholars and the scholars
planned to go in the jungle and
pray and solicit assistance from
Imam E Zamana.
After two scholars returned
unsuccessful from the jungle
after hours of praying and
crying, the third scholar whose
name was Mohammad bin Ali went
and prayed namaz and recited
supplications but was
unsuccessful in connecting to
the Imam. On his way back, he
met with a person who enquired
about the problem. Mohammad bin
Ali replied that he was looking
for Imam E Zamana but could not
find him. The stranger replied
that he was the Imam. Mohammad
bin Ali said that if he was the
Imam then there was no need to
describe the problem.
Imam E Zamana said that there
was a wooden box in the
minister’s house and there were
a few moulds of clay. He said
that when pomegranates were
still very small, the minister
would clamp those moulds on baby
pomegranates. The caliphs names
were embossed in side those
clamps. As the pomegranates
grew, the names were imprinted
on it distinctly and much
larger.
The Shia scholars requested the
king to accompany them to the
minister’s house and personally
see the fraudulent craft of the
minister. Consequently the
minister was punished. Hence
Imam E Zamana came to the rescue
of his followers. It is clear
that even today, if we call our
Imam sincerely and from the
bottom of our hearts, he will
respond to our requests.
