Sheikh Abdul Majid Al Muzaffer relates having heard Sheikh Muhammed Hassan Al Muzaffer, one of the leading scholars of Najaf, that one of the residents of the city of Najaf used to hold special Majaalis for Imam Hussein (A.S.) on every Thursday night and used to serve to the congregation high quality rice and curry on which he used to incur a lot of expense.

Once when this man decided to travel, he instructed his family to rise up to the occasion and hold the majalis in their own method and style. It so happened that the man, while still on the journey happened to see in his dream, the personality of Imam Hussein (a.s.) and Hazrath Abbas (a.s).

Imam Hussein (A.S.) was dictating to his brother Abbas (a.s.) to write down the quantities of various material goods which the followers had sacrificed in his way in order to commemorate his martyrdom and, one of the things which he happened to mention was the name of that man and the amount of rice and curry which was donated.

It so happened that the quality of the materials donated were mentioned too. The man was surprised and said that didn't remember having contributed rice and curry of this quality as he was traveling and that he always donated what was the best. The Imam (a.s.) replied that they only wrote down what was donated in their name.

When the man returned from his journey he found out that his family had indeed commemorated the Majlis and served the particular type of rice and curry mentioned in his dream during his absence. (NAJAFIAT 111-112).
