Miracle 2: A Lion Obeys Imam Ali (a.s.)

A lion entered Kufa and said, ‘Point me to Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)’. They went with it and pointed to him (a.s.). When it looked at him (a.s.), the lion went towards him (a.s.) seeking shelter with him (a.s.) and pleading to him (a.s.).

Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) caressed its back, then said: ‘Go out’! The lion lowered its head and hit its tail upon the ground, and neither turned right nor left until he exited from that place.¹
