Aga Mirza Al-Ridha narrates that once he traveled for Ziyarat of holy Mash-had with his respected father. In spite of the fact that it was a time of motor cars, he traveled on camel with his family and servants. He says: Since we only possessed one camel we covered all or most of the distance on foot. [This doubt is from my side]. I was praying to Imam Al-Ridha ('a) all the time that if my Ziyarat is accepted, he must bestow a gift to me.

When we reached Holy Mash-had, people came to see my respected father. One day an aged gentleman arrived dressed in the garb of scholars. In spite of the fact that the servant was present, my father asked me to prepare Hookah for him. When I brought the Hookah, he said: We have granted you the ability to interpret dreams. If someone narrates a dream to you, according to the number of the night, on which the dream was seen, turn the pages of the Holy Qur’an and you will find the interpretation.

He went away after that, but I accorded no importance to his statement till I returned to Qom. My father passed away and my monetary condition was not good. One night, I was in the Masjid at the head side of the holy sanctuary of Masuma Qom, when a lady arrived with her husband, who had seen a dream. They said: I saw a dream on the 15th of such month. I turned 15 pages of Qur’an and saw that the dream of that lady was in my memory along with its interpretation.

I said: Your dream is this and its interpretation is this. She was surprised and she gave some money. After that I mentioned it to some people and this gift was lost.
