Miracle 26: Pebbles Transformed into Jewels

It is narrated in Basaair al-Darajaat,

Ameerul Momineen (a.s.), was with his companions in Masjid Kufa, a man came and said to him (a.s.), ‘May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! I am astonished concerning this world which is in the hands of the people, and it is not in your possession’.

He (a.s.) replied: ‘O so and so! Do you think if we would not get the world if we wanted it?

Then he (a.s.) grabbed a handful of pebbles, and immediately they transformed into jewels. He (a.s.) said: ‘If we desired the world, this would happen, but we do not want it’. Then he (a.s.) threw the pebbles and they returned to what they had been’’.¹
