401. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from one of his companions, from Muhammad Al-Fazl, from Arzamy who said
I was seated with Abu Abdullah (asws) in the chamber underneath the shade and a man was disputing with a man, and one of them was saying to his companion, ‘By Allah (azwj), I do not know from where the wind blows’. So when he said it many times, Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘So do you know?’ He said, ‘No, but I heard the people talking about it’. So I said to Abu Abdullah (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), from where does the wind blow?’ He (asws) said: ‘It is captivated under this Al-Shamy corner. So if Allah (azwj) Intends that He (azwj) Takes something out of it, He (azwj) Takes it out, whether it is the South (wind) so it is the South, and whether it is the North (wind) so it is the North, and Saba (wind) so it is the Saba, and Dabour (wind) so it is the Dabour’. Then he (asws) said: ‘From the signs of that is that you will never stop seeing this corner moving ever, in the winter, and the summer, and the night, and the day’.
أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنِ الْعَرْزَمِيِّ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) جَالِساً فِي الْحِجْرِ تَحْتَ الْمِيزَابِ وَ رَجُلٌ يُخَاصِمُ رَجُلًا وَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا تَدْرِي مِنْ أَيْنَ تَهُبُّ الرِّيحُ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَهَلْ تَدْرِي أَنْتَ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنِّي أَسْمَعُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَهُبُّ الرِّيحُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الرِّيحَ مَسْجُونَةٌ تَحْتَ هَذَا الرُّكْنِ الشَّامِيِّ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً أَخْرَجَهُ إِمَّا جُنُوباً فَجَنُوبٌ وَ إِمَّا شِمَالًا فَشَمَالٌ وَ صَبًا فَصَبًا وَ دَبُوراً فَدَبُورٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ مِنْ آيَةِ ذَلِكَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَزَالُ تَرَى هَذَا الرُّكْنَ مُتَحَرِّكاً أَبَداً فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَ الصَّيْفِ وَ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ.
