This is an incident witnessed by the author of this
book. Once I was admitted to the hospital, and as
I was lying in my ward, I saw a friend of mine bring
in his son with a life threatening situation. His
son was in acute pain, and when I asked my friend
he said that the nurses were taking some tests and
soon his son would be taken to the operating theatre.
Well, the nurse took a sample of blood, and we on
the other hand started comforting the little boy who
was only nine years old. As we were waiting the father
of the boy put something small under the pillow of
his son.
Shortly after, the doctor arrived and said that they
had tested the blood and didn't think it necessary
to operate, and instead some medicine was prescribed
for him. The father at once thanked the Imam of our
time Al Mahdi for helping, and then revealed that
he had put an amount of money as charity and asked
the Imam to help, and this was the result.
