MIRACLE 1 – CONVERSATION WITH A SNAKE

‘While Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) was addressing from the pulpit of the mosque of Kufa, he (a.s.) looked at a corner of the mosque and said: ‘O Qanbar! Bring to me whatever is in that hole’. Janabe Qambar (a.r.) came to him with a beautiful spotted snake.

The snake came near Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) and went on to hold a secret conversation with him, then it left and went back to the hole. The people were astounded.

They said, ‘And why should we not be surprised?’ He (a.s.) said: ‘Did you see this snake? It had pledged allegiance to Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) upon the listening and obeying. From you all there is one who listens and from you there is one who does not listen and does not obey’.1
