Miracle 59: Imam Ali (a.s.) Informs of Hidden Graves

It is reported from Abu Baseer,

‘From one of the two Imams (Hazrat Imam Baqir (a.s.) or Hazrat Imam Sadiq (a.s.)) having said: ‘People wanted to build a Masjid by a coast of Aden. Every time they built it; it would fall. They came to Abu Bakr. He said, ‘Resume the construction and do it!’. They resumed it again but it fell down again and returned to him. He addressed the people and adjured them, ‘If there is knowledge of it with anyone of you, then let him say it!’

The inheritor of the knowledge of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a), Hazrat Ameerul Momineen, Imam Ali ibn Talib (a.s.) said: ‘Dig in the right of the Qiblah and its left, two graves will appear to you.

Upon them would be glass, with a writing upon it: ‘I am Razwa and my sister is Hayya, two daughters of Tubba. We did not associate anything with Allah, the Almighty’.

Wash them, shroud them, and pray Salat upon them, and bury them. Then build your Masjid, and its construction will stand’. They did it, and it happened like that. The building stood’’.¹
