The Infallible Imams\u00a0(PBUT)\u00a0were true servants of Allah\u00a0(SWT). The faith they had in Allah\u00a0(SWT),\u00a0and the knowledge they had gained about Allah\u00a0(SWT)\u00a0had left them in a continuous peace. Their utmost obedience and submission to Allah\u00a0(SWT)\u00a0is why Allah\u00a0(SWT)\u00a0adored them, was satisfied with them, and bestowed them high position.<\/p>

The miraculous incidents that took place through the hands of the infallibles\u00a0(PBUT)\u00a0were indeed a sign of Allah\u2019s\u00a0(SWT)\u00a0grace and kindness towards them.\u00a0\u00a0Similarly, they too were satisfied with whatever was the will of Allah\u00a0(SWT).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

It is on this basis that if the love of a person towards the family of Prophet Muhammad\u00a0(PBUH&HP)\u00a0is pure and solely for Allah (SWT) alone, this love may indeed be a tool of guidance for this person. The following is an analogy of what has been\u00a0mentioned above:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

A group of people from the city of\u00a0Isfahan[1]<\/a>\u00a0narrated that there was a man whose name was Abd al-Rahman. Abd al-Rahman was a Shiite who had lived in\u00a0Isfahan\u00a0for many years. They had asked him to explain his reasons for becoming a Shia and a follower of Imam Ali al-Naqi\u00a0(PBUH).\u00a0<\/p>

Abd al-Rahman said, \u201cIt was because of a miracle that I saw from him.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0He then added, \u201cI was a poor man who was bold and courageous. One year the people of\u00a0Isfahan\u00a0took me to the ruler of the time, Mutiwakkel[2]<\/a>\u00a0to place a complaint about the unfair situation to Mutiwakkel. When we arrived, Mutiwakkel ordered to bring Ali ibn Muhammad (Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH)). I asked a person there about who the man Mutiwakkel summoned was. The man answered: \u201cHe is one of Alawian[3]<\/a>\u00a0whom the Shiites consider him the leader. Mutiwakkel has probably summoned him to kill him.\u201d<\/p>

I became very curious to see this man, so I remained in my seat until I saw a man riding a horse approach us. The people stood in two rows allowing the man pass through, and began to watch him.<\/p>

The moment I saw him, my heart was filled with affection toward him. I began praying to Allah (SWT) so that Allah (SWT) would protect him from the corrupt ruler Mutiwakkel. The Imam\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0passed through the people without looking right and left. He just gazed at mane of his horse, while I continued praying for him.<\/p>

When he arrived to where I was standing, he turned to me and said: \u201cMay Allah answer your prayer, prolong your life, and increase your progeny.\u201d<\/p>

When I heard such words, my body began to tremble and I fell among my friends. They asked me: \u201cWhat has happened to you?\u201d<\/p>

I answered: \u201cEverything is fine,\u201d while keeping the story to myself.\u00a0<\/p>

Afterwards, I returned to\u00a0Isfahan. From then on, the almighty Allah granted me abundant wealth: apart from my outdoor properties, I have one million\u00a0Dirham[4]<\/strong><\/a><\/em>. Allah (SWT) has also granted me ten children, and by now my age has exceeded 70 years. Now I believe in the\u00a0Imamat\u00a0<\/em>of a man who was aware of my heart and whose prayer for me was accepted.<\/p>

Certainly, by the grace of Allah\u00a0(SWT), Mutiwakkel was not able to hurt the Imam till the end of his life.\u00a0 Furthermore, Allah\u00a0(SWT)\u00a0accepted the prayer of his great representative Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH)\u00a0for a man who was not even of the companions or friends of Imam Hadi\u00a0(PBUH).<\/p>
