MIRACE 106 – FACE BLACKENED

It is narrated from Sheikh al Qarooni who was from the tribe of Quraish and clan of Bani Hashim, he says,

‘I saw a man in Syria whose face had blackened, and he used to cover. I asked him about the cause of that. He said, ‘Yes. I had made it (a vow) upon me for the Sake of Allah, that no one will ask me about that harm except I will answer him and inform him.

I used to excessively talk bad regarding Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) and would revile him a lot. One night, while I was asleep, I saw a man in my dream. He said, ‘You are the one who talks ill regarding Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)’. I replied, ‘Yes’. He struck my face and said, ‘May Allah blacken it!’ So, it blackened like what you see’’.¹
