114. Bestowal Of Lady Fatima ('A) 2

Shaykh Abd ul-Nabi Ansari Darabi, a graduate of Islamic university of Qom is the owner of extraordinary qualities as is obvious from an incident, which he himself has narrated:

For a period of one year, I was involved in various ailments including headache and general weakness. I consulted three doctors in Shiraz, five in Qom and took excessive medications including injections, but all this only gave me momentary relief and weakness returned.

One day I went to pray the congregation prayer behind the great scholar of his time and a pious gentleman, Ayatullah Bahjat. During prayers my condition deteriorated. A friend of mine felt it and asked: It seems that you are in a great problem. I said: A year has passed and I am in this same condition. I consulted many doctors and took extensive medicines, but it was of no use. That elder. who was also a good scholar and an influential person said: We are having very good doctors, please consult them.

I understood what he meant and he also did not go into details. He also said: Seek the mediation of Lady Fatima Zahra ('a) and you would definitely be cured.

His statement influenced be very much and I firmly decided to seek the mediation of that lady and returned from there.

In that same condition I met another scholar and he also encouraged me to seek mediation. After that I first entered the holy sanctuary of Masuma Qom and then came home and started
praying in a corner of my house. I beseeched, wept and wailed. I prayed in the name of Lady Zahra ('a) and after that I went to sleep. After half the night had passed I saw in dream that a Majlis program was in progress and it was attended by Sayyids. One of them arose and prayed for me.

When I woke up in the morning, I gave a jerk to my head. I saw that there was no sign of headache and dizziness. In a condition of extreme jubilation, I left the home at once, since I had been unable to meet people since a long time due to my illness. I met my friends and arranged a mourning assembly (Majlis) at home. And if Allah wills, as long as I live, I would continue this monthly mourning assembly (Majlis) at home.

It is nearly eight months since that incident occurred. Praise be to Allah that my condition is quite good now. There is manifold increase in divine opportunities and I am very busy in lessons and propagation work.
