Miracle 101: The Head of a Dog

Abul Hasan Ali Bin Haroun Al Munajjim narrates,

‘The caliph Al-Razy used to argue with me a lot and alleged that Imam Ali (a.s.) made a mistake (Godforbid) in dealing with Moawiya. I clarified the argument to him that such statements were not appropriate or allowed for Imam Ali (a.s.) and he (a.s.) did not do anything except the correct. But he did not accept this word from me.

And he came out to us during one of the days forbidding us from indulging in anything like that, and he narrated to us that he had seen in his dream as if he was outside of his door intending to go on one of his strolls. There was a man of short height in front of him and his head was like the head of a dog. He asked about him, and it was said to him, ‘This is the man who used to attribute mistakes upon Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)’.

He said, ‘So I knew that it was a lesson for me and the likes of me, so I repented to Allah, the Almighty’’.¹
