MIRACLES SHOWN IN IMAM AL REZA'S HOLY SHRINE

In his book of I’lam al-Wara bi-A’lam al-Huda, al-Tabrisi, after mentioning some miracles of Imam al-Rida (‘a), states the following:

“The miraculous blessings of Imam al-Rida’s holy shrine that were shown to people after his demise, as well as the signs and marvelous matters that the creatures saw in that place and to which the general and the elite people submitted and of which the dissidents and the adherents (of him) confessed up to this day are too many to be counted. In that holy shrine, blind and leprous people were cured, prayers were responded, requests were granted, and intricate matters were relieved. We have certainly seen many examples of these miracles without doubt.”

In his book of Ithbat al-Hudat, the sublime Shaykh al-Hurr al-’Amili, after quoting the aforesaid statement of al-Tabrisi, says the following:

“The author of this book, Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Hurr, says: I myself have seen many of such miracles as Shaykh al-Tabrisi did and I have been certain of them as Shaykh al-Tabrisi was. That was during my neighborhood of the holy shrine for twenty-six years. I have also heard about such miracles in such a certain way that it exceeds the uninterruptability of the chains of authority. I cannot remember that I would not be granted any request that I prayed for in this holy shrine. All praise be to Allah for so. However, because details of this topic are too lengthy to be mentioned in this book, I am resorting to mentioning a summary of it.”
