138. Fishes Rain From The Sky
The Maulavi has also narrated the following incident:
I was eight years old, when there was heavy rain and during that, I saw a fish drop from the sky and not even half a minute passed when a cat devoured it.
Similar to this incident is what passed on us during our Hajj journey. It was the time of the Second World War and I could not travel via Iran. So I set out by air and disembarked in Bahrain.
In Bahrain, there was a shortage of food due to war and people there were starving. In addition to wheat, stocks of gram, rice and moong were also exhausted. All of us gathered in Masjid Husaynia and collectively supplicated. After sometime we observed a smoke like thing rose up in the sea, which soon transformed into a cloud and then fishes began to rain down from it.
The fishes, which dropped from the heavens, provided us nourishment for a week, after which our rations arrived.
