MIRACLE 48 – WEIGHT OF KHYBER DOOR
Allamah Majlisi narrates in Behar al-Anwaar,
‘Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) attacked them after killing Marhab. And they were retreated to the fortress. He (a.s.) went ahead to the door of the fortress and grabbed its knocker, and its weight was of forty Mann (1493 kg.), and he (a.s.) shook the door. The fortress trembled in its entirety until they thought it was an earthquake. Then he (a.s.) shook it again and uprooted it and threw it in the air to forty cubits’’.1
It is narrated from Abu Saeed al Khudri, ‘and Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) shook the fort of Khyber until Safiyah said, ‘I was seated upon an arch like the bride tends to sit, and I fell down on my face. I thought it was an earthquake.
It was said, ‘This is Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) shaking the fortress intending to uproot the door’’.2
