Late Abbas Ali, alias Hajj Mu’min was the owner of many esoteric powers and I had the fortune to know him for thirty years, in journey and at home. He passed away two years ago.

Numerous incidents are famous regarding him, including one when government spies accused his cousin, Abdun Nabi for possession of weapons and arrested and imprisoned him. He was also condemned for execution. His father was extremely distressed and was on the verge of despair, when Haji Mom in told him: There is no need to worry. In this age, all the matters are under the control of the twelfth Imam, Hazrat Vali Asr (a.t.f.s.). Today is Thursday night. We will seek the help of His Eminence. The Almighty Allah is capable enough to save your son through the blessings of His Eminence. So that night Haji Mu’min and the pa rents of that boy undertook a night long vigil, reciting Prayers and praying to the Imam. After that they continued reciting the verse of:

أَمَّنْ يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ

"Or, Who answers the distressed one when he calls upon Him and removes the evil..." (Surah al-Naml 27:62).

Those three persons perceived a strange fragrance of Musk and saw the luminous elegance of His Eminence, Imam ('a), who said: Your Ziyarat is accepted. The Almighty Allah has given relief to your son and he would come home tomorrow.

Hajj Mu’min used to say that Abdun Nabi's parents, on seeing the elegance of His Eminence became powerless and remained in swoon till morning. When the day arose, they went out to seek information about their son, because he was supposed to be hanged that day. They were told that the death sentence has been commuted and his case would be reopened. Thus, he was released before noon and returned home safe and sound.

There are many incidents about the effectiveness of the supplications of Late Haji Mu’min. This incident was an example if it, may unlimited mercy of Allah descend on his pure soul.
