146. Immediate Acceptance And Gift Of Imam Al-Ridha ('A)
Aga Muhammad Husayn Rukni narrated:
In the year 1342, I had gone to the Ziyarat of Holy Mash-had with my wife and a six-year-old child. One afternoon, we were visiting the holy tomb and I was waiting in the courtyard, waiting for the wife and child. After a long time, my wife came out worried and said that the child was missing. I searched for him very much, but to no avail.
We informed the people in charge of maintaining the tomb and courtyard and also filed a complaint at the police station. After that I said to Imam Ali Al-Ridha ('a): However, I may be, I am your guest, please convey my child to me before nightfall.
I walked around the courtyard on the roadside and asked anyone I saw on both the sides, till it was time for Evening Prayers. I turned to Imam Ali Al-Ridha ('a) and asked: Master, the day so over. What should I do?
Then I climbed the roof of the passage. Due to exhaustion, I was unable to remain standing. So I leaned on the iron pipes fixed to control the movement of people. Suddenly my hand trembled and it slipped and touched the head of a child below it, whom I had not noticed. He lifted his head crying and I realized that it was my own child.
It was learnt that due to exhaustion and fear, he had sat below the pipe and was observing the surroundings.
