MIRACLE 41 – TURNING BRASS TO GOLD
And it is reported, ‘When Janabe Fizza (s.a.) came to be in the house of Janabe Sayyeda Zahra (s.a.), she did not find anything there except a sword an armour, a grinding mill. Janabe Fizza (s.a.) was a daughter of a king of India1 and she had some elixir with her. She took a piece of brass, softened it and made it to be upon a shape of an ingot, and she (a.s.) cast the treatment upon it and turned it into gold.
She then came to Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) and placed it in front of him (a.s.). When He (a.s.) saw it, he (a.s.) said: ‘O Fizza, you have done well, but had you melted the brass, the dye would be at the top and the value would have been higher’.
She (a.s.) was surprised and replied, ‘O my master! You have this knowledge?’ He (a.s.) said: ‘Yes, and this child also knows it’ – and he (a.s.) gestured towards Al-Husain (a.s.). He (a.s.) came and said like what Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) had said.
Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) said: ‘We know much greater than this’.
Then he (a.s.) gestured with his hand, and there were ingots of gold and treasures of the earth, shining. Then he (a.s.) said: ‘place it (your brick of gold) to be with its counterparts’.
She (a.s.) placed it, and it turned into pure gold’’.2
