The
youth said “This is your object the one which you were waiting
for. This is the camp of lmam-e-Zaman (AS.).” I was indescribably
filed with joy. I screamed, ‘ Please do whatever you can but
take me to that place as soon a possible” “Don’t make
haste.” the youth replied, “very soon I shall take you to
the service of lmam-e-Zaman”. We had not gone far when the youth
fold me to get down and walk by foot. He told me to leave the rein
of my camel and set it free. “Who would look after my came “
I asked. “This is a land of refuge and peace, the youth replied.
Don’t worry about anything here. Be assured of it.’’ |

When
we reached the camp the youth stopped and said, “Wait here
I will go inside and get permission for you”. Outside the camp
I was very much restless and was very impatiently counting every
minute as to when I would get the permission. Meanwhile the youth
came out from the tent and said, “Aqa is pleased to grant permission
to you, go and meet him.”

went inside the camp and saw Imam (A.S.) sitting on a felt carpet
resting against the fiber pillow. I went closer and saw the glorious
face of the Imam. I bade Salam and he replied it. I smelt the fragrance
coming out from him. He very politely and pleasingly asked me, “How
are my Shias.” I said, “They are living a very hard life
in the regime of Bani Abbas." He said, "The day is approaching
when you will have dominance over them and they will be humiliated
and demoralized" Afterwards he proclaimed, "My father has
said that the earth will never be left without his representative
appointed for guidance-of the people." |
