MIRACLE 61 – CALLING THE SALVE WITH HIS REAL NAME

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported by Dawood Al Attar who said,

‘A man said, ‘one of the close companions of Imam Ali (a.s.) asked me to accompany him to Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) and salute him. I did not want to do that, but he insisted and I went to Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) and greeted him.

Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) raised the whip and struck my leg with it and said: ‘Do you view that you are forced? You are Maysara’.

The man was later asked, Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) did to you what he did not do to anyone?

The man said, ‘I used to be a slave of the family of so and so, and my name was Maysara. I separated from them and claimed to the one I was not from him. So, Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) named me with my (real) name’’.¹
