MIRACLE 117 – EYE-SIGHT RESTORED TO AN OLD BLIND MAN

‘There was a caretaker of blessed shrine in al-Ghary, he was blind man from Tikrit. He was blinded due to old age and his eyes had come out upon his cheeks. He used to sit near the grave a lot asking for cure, at times in a tone not so appropriate as he was saddened with with the denial from him (a.s.). And at times he would return in the hope of the bestowal from Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)

He continued upon this for a long period.

One day, as I entered the shrine, I heard a loud noise. I thought either some Alawites have come from Baghdad, or someone had been killed in the shrine. I went to inquire, and it was said to me, ‘there is a blind man whose sight has returned’. So, I wished it would happen to be that blind man.

When I arrived to the Holy presence, I found him to be that blind man, and his eyes were as good as what could be. I thanked Allah, the Almighty the Exalted upon that’’.¹
