The birth of abu al-Hassan al-Rida (a.s.)

“A Certain person of our people has said that he wanted to deliver an amount of propertyto al-Rida (a.s.). It was a large amount. When he saw it he did not become happy. I became depressed and said to myself, “I delivered this property to him but he did not become happy.” The Imam (a.s.) called, “O boy, bring water and the receptacle.” The narrator has said that the Imam thensat on the chair and made a hand gesture to the boy to pure water on his hand.” The narrator has said that from his hand gold began to fall in the receptacle. He then turned to me and said, “One who would be as this he does not become happy for what you would deliver to him.”
