ENGLISH TRANSLATION

10. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from from Muhammad ibn Hassa’n from abu Hashim Ali-Ja‘fari who has said the following. “Once I prayed with abu Ja‘far عليه السلام in the Mosque of Ali-Musayyib. He lead the prayer with us and as to the direction of Makka he stood up facing straight. He also has said that a berry tree that was in the Mosque had dried up and had no leaves. The Imam عليه السلام asked for water and prepared himself under that tree for prayer. The berry tree came alive with leaves and fruits in that year.”
