He told me: is Narjis, I told him may God make me your ransom there is no sign in her? He said: is exactly what I am telling you, then I (Hakimah) came to her (Narjis) after I greeted and sat down she came to me removing my shoe and she told me how are you my lady this evening? I told her you are rather my lady and the lady of my household, she denied my speech and said: my aunt what is this? I then told her that: My dear daughter Allah the Exalted grants you in this night of yours a baby that is going to be the master in this world and hereafter.<br \/>\nShe then sat and felt shy, when I finished from the Ishaa prayer and breaking of my fast I went to bed and slept, When it was mid-night I got up to perform prayers, I finished my prayer and she was still asleep and nothing happened to her, I sat down to say my supplications later I went to the bed but after a while I woke up suddenly, She then woke and rose up and performed prayer.<br \/>\nHakima said: when I started having some doubts Abu Muhammad from a session cried out! Aunt! Don\u2019t be in haste because the matter is very near, she said: I then recited the two chapters of Quran: Alam Sajda and Yaasin while being in that position she woke up suddenly I rushed towards her and said: God\u2019s name is on you then I asked her: are you feeling something? She said: yes my aunt, I then told her gather your body and heart together it is exactly what I have told you. Hakiimah said: Then weakness overwhelmed me and she was also overwhelmed with impulsion, I roused up while perceiving my master (A.S.) when staying with him I removed the sheet from him and he was prostrating lying his forehead, palms, knees and toes on the earth, I embraced him and when I was with him he was clean and have been made to be clean, Abu Muhammad (A.S.) cried out and said my aunt bring my son to me, I took his son to him, he put his hands under his thighs and back and put the infant\u2019s feet on his chest, he then put his tongue in his mouth and touched his eyes, ears and joints with his hands. \u201cMy son, I talk,\u201d he said then.<br \/>\nThe baby said, \u201c I bear witness that a deity other than Allah, the one without a partner, is not; and I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah\u2019s messenger.\u201d He then beseeched blessings for the prince of the believers and the imams until he reached at his father and then respectfully stopped.<br \/>\nAbu Muhammad (A.S.) said, \u201c Aunt, take him to his mother so he may give her greetings and hen bring him to me.\u201d I took her to his mother and he greeted her. Then I brought him back and put him in the sitting room. He then said, \u201c Aunt when it is the seventh day come to us.\u201d<br \/>\nLady Hakiimah says in the morning I came to offer my greetings to Abu Muhammad (A.S.). I removed the curtain looking for my master. Not seeing him I asked his father, \u201cMay I be your ransom where is my master?\u201d<br \/>\nHe said \u201cWe entrusted him to the one that mother of Moses had entrusted Moses to.\u201d When it was the seventh day I came and greeted and sat. He said, \u201cBring to me my son.\u201d I brought my master in a wrap. He acted towards his same in the same way he had acted the first time. Then he put his tongue into his mouth: seemed as if he was feeding him milk or honey. Then he said \u201cTalk O\u2019 my son.\u201d<br \/>\nThe blessed infant said \u201cI bear witness that a deity other than Allah in not.\u201d He then praised and beseeched blessings for Muhammad and \u2018Ali, the prince of the believers, and every one of the imams, blessings of Allah be upon all of them, until his father. He then recited this verse, \u201c In the name of Allah, the merciful the compassionate: And we desire to confer kindness upon those who have been enfeebled on the earth and make them imams and make them heirs and give them power on earth and show Pharoah and Haamaan and their armies from them what they have been averting.\u201d<br \/>\nMusa ibn Muhammad says I asked \u201cAqaba\u201d the servant about this and he authenticated and verified Lady Hakiimah\u2019s narration.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/shiastudies.com\">shiastudies.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She then sat and felt shy, when I finished from the Ishaa prayer and  breaking of my fast I went to bed and slept, When it was mid-night I  got up to perform prayers, I finished my prayer and she was still asleep  and nothing happened to her, I sat down to say my supplications later I  went to the bed but after a while I woke up suddenly, She then woke and  rose up and performed prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7453,7764],"tags":[8707,13756,7556],"class_list":["post-3047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bank-of-subjects-of-articles","category-mahdism","tag-al-mahdi-as","tag-miraculous-birth","tag-shiastudies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiastudies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
