Hadith 231
۞
There is the story of the “owner of the donkey,” whose story is narrated by the Quran and People of the Book believe that he was a prophet. God made him dead and then brought him back to life. His food and drink did not decay. That was very extraordinary.
وإذا كان ما ذكرناه معروفا كائنا كيف يمكن مع ذلك إنكار غيبة صاحب الزمان عليه السلام اللهم إلا أن يكون المخالف دهريا معطلا ينكر جميع ذلك ويحيله فلا نتكلم معه في الغيبة بل ننتقل معه إلى الكلام في أصل التوحيد وإن ذلك مقدور، وإنما نكلم في ذلك من أقر بالإسلام وجوز كون ذلك مقدورا لله تعالى فبين لهم نظائره في العادات.
