O Dad,
Isn't your master "the gate to the people's needs
Mr. Sayed Ali Safavi Kashani, the encomiast of the Prophet's Household
(Ahlebeyt) narrated from Mr. Harouni that:
One of the water-carriers in the Heyat who carried water during Moharram
(Ashura) and provided water for the kids, relates that God granted me a son who
was suffering from paralysis for 11 years. One Tassoua night, I wanted to leave
house, and the water bag was on my shoulder. My son called me: Where do you go
dad? I answered: My dear son, tonight is Tassoua, and I am water-carrier in the
Heyat. I shall go to provide water for the Heyat people. He said: You have never
taken me to Heyat. Isn't your master "the gate to the people's need"? Take me
with yourself to Heyat tonight, and ask for my healing from God, and your
master.
He says that I was deeply affected, and put the water bag on one of my shoulders
and my son on the other, and left the house. When Heyat was moving, I stood in
front of Heyat, and said: Wait! Tonight my son told me something that my heart
was broken. If my master does not heal my son tonight, tomorrow I will come to
Heyat and tear this water bag, and will not act as water-carrier for Abalfazl
Abbas (a.s.) anymore. I said this and Heyat moved.
At midnight, the mourning ceremony of Heyat was finished. Nothing happened and I
was worried. I thought: O God, why did I say this? They may prefer my son to be
in such condition, and God may deem it proper for me and him! Anyway, I have
said so, and if it is not realized, I will tear the water bag tomorrow. I
returned to home. Both I and my son were weeping. Once I saw, my son called me:
Please stop crying. Forgive me if I have broken your heart! I am satisfied with
whatever God is satisfied!
I came out of the room, and went to the other room. I was restless and still
crying until I fell asleep. Once I heard my son is calling me, and says: Dad,
come here, your master helped me. Your master healed me, dad.
I opened the door, and saw my son is standing on his foot. I asked: What
happened?! He answered: When you left the room and I was weeping, I suddenly saw
that the room is bright, and someone is standing beside me. He said to me: Stand
up. I said: I cannot stand. He said: Say Abalfazl for once, and stand up! I too
said Abalfazl for once, and stood up. Dad, your master did not disappoint me,
and healed me! The narrator says: I took my son on my shoulder and left the
house, while crying loudly: O people of Heyat, come to see that Abbas (a.s.) is
not disloyal. He healed my son!
