MIRACLE 66 – PREDICTS THE DEATH OF ASHAS BIN QAYS
And it is reported from Imam Hasan (a..s), ‘Ashas Bin Qays al-Qindi built a minaret in his house. He used to climb to it whenever he heard the Azaan during the timings of Salat in the central Masjid of Kufa, and he would shout from the top of his minaret, ‘O Muezzin! You are a liar, a sorcerer. My father named it a column of fire!’
Imam Ali (a.s.) was asked about that. He (a.s.) said: ‘when the death will present to him, a column of fire will enter to him, extended from the sky, and it will burn him. He will not be buried except that he would be charcoal black’.
When he did die, the rest of the ones present looked at the fire and it had entered him like the extended column until it burned him, and he was screaming and calling for the doom and destruction’’.1
