The Imam عليه السلام called me. I went to him and offered greetings. He asked me, “ What brings you here?” The narrator has said that he said, “My wish to serve you has brought me here.” He then said, “(Help us) as a devoted (security guard) at the gate.)” The narrator has said that he then stayed at the gate with other servants. Once then he went to buy the needed items from the market. He would inter the house without formal permission when man were in the house. The narrator has said, “One day I interred the house and he (The Imam عليه السلام was in the men’s quarters. I heard some movement in the house and the Imam عليه السلام said to me, “Stay wherever you are and do not move.” I felt shy of going both inside and outside. A maiden came out to me with something under a cover with her. Then the Imam عليه السلام called me to come in. I went inside. He called the maiden and she came back to him. He said to her, “Remove the covering from (the face of) who is you. She removed the cover from the face of a white a complexion beautiful boy. The Imam عليه السلام then removed the covering further aside. There was greenish black hair between his neck and belly. The Imam عليه السلام said, “This is you master (Leader with Divine Authority).
