It is narrated from Shaykh Husayn that one Friday during his stay in Najaf he left for Kufa for sightseeing and strolling by the river banks and reached a spot where children were fishing. A person from Najaf al-Ashraf was also present there. He said to a child who was casting the net: This time cast the net betting on my luck. When he cast the net, there was movement in it. When it was retracted, it was found heavy. He said: How lucky you are! I have never seen such a heavy fish.

The net was pulled with a boy who had almost drowned. When that man saw the boy, he screamed in horror and exclaimed: This is my son! How did he come here? After first aid was administered to him, he recovered and explained: I was playing and swimming in the shallow region when a wave caught me and I was about to drown, but the net was cast and I came out in it.

Glory be to Allah, for the narrow escape of that child; how a father was inspired to go out to the river bank and ask the children fishing over there to cast the net betting on his luck!

There are many incidents like this and the one before it. Some are mentioned in the last chapter of Amwarun Nomaniya. In the same way, they are also mentioned in Khazinat ul-Jawahir of Late Nahawandi. Those who are interested may refer to these books.
