Hadith 241

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ahmad Bin Umar Bin Muslim, from Al-Hassan Bin Ismail Al Meysami, from Yahya Bin Maymoun Al Basry, from a man, from Miqsam, a slave of Ibn Abbas who said, ‘When Ibn Al-Zubeyr made Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas travel to Al-Taif and Muhammad Bin Ali Ibn Al-Hanafiya visited him, he said, ‘One day while he was in his presence when they came with the meal for the lunch. A large grasshopper came and landed upon the meal. Ibn Abbas (who was blind then) heard the sound of its landing. He said, ‘What is this sound which I hear? ’ They said, ‘A grasshopped has landed upon the meal’. He said, ‘So who will grab it? ’ They said, ‘Muqassim’. He said, ‘O Muqassim! Spread out its winds and look at what you see beneath it’. He said, ‘I see a black dot’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He struck with his hand upon the thigh of Muhammad son of Ali-asws, and he was to his side. He said, ‘Is there anything with you regarding this? ’
He said, ‘My father-asws narrated to me from Rasool-Allah-saww that there isn’t anything from the locusts except and beneath its wind is written in Assyrian, ‘Me-azwj, I-azwj am Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the Worlds, Breaker of the tyrants. I-azwj Created the locust as an army from My-azwj armies. I-azwj Destroy by it the one I-azwj so Desire to from My-azwj creatures! ’’
He (the narrator) said, ‘Ibn Abbas smiled, then said, ‘O son of uncle! By Allah-azwj, this is from our hidden knowledge, so preserve it’’. [112]
