Hadith 88

said, ‘I Loved (doing) that’. The Imam-asws said: ‘When you love that, then by Allah-azwj, I-asws will show you what you love and are pleased with and your eyes would be delighted with it’. The man poured the water upon his hands until a third of the washbasin was filled up. The Imam-asws said to the man: ‘What is this? ’ He said, ‘Water’. The Imam-asws said; ‘But, these are red rubies’. The man looked and there, it had become red rubies by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted. Then he-asws said: ‘O man! Pour the water’. He poured until two-thirds of the washbasin was filled. He-asws said: ‘What is this? ’ He said, ‘This is water’. He-asws said: ‘But, these are green emeralds’. Then he-asws poured the water upon his-asws hands until the washbasin was full. He-asws said: ‘What is this? ’ He said, ‘This is water’. He-asws said: ‘But these are white gems’. The man looked, and there, it were white gems. The washbasin was filled a third from a variety of gems, and rubies and emeralds. The man was astounded and devoted to his-asws hands, kissing them.

The man came to the Imam-asws crying and informed him of her death. The Imam-asws stood up and prayed two cycles Salat and supplicated to Allah-azwj the Glorious with supplications. Then he-asws turned to the man and said to him: ‘Return to your wife, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Revived her by His-azwj Power and His-azwj Wisdom, and He-azwj Revives the bones and these have become decayed’. The man stood up hurriedly. W
