Miracle 79: Imam Ali (a.s.) Breaks the Idols in Childhood

‘Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.) said to Janabe Fatima binte Asad (s.a.), when Imam Ali (a.s.) was a child, ‘I saw him (a.s.) breaking the idols, so I feared that the elders of Qureysh would come to know!’

She (a.s.) said, ‘O wonder! I shall inform you with more wondrous than this. I passed by the place where the idols were kept. and Ali was in my belly. He (a.s.) placed his legs severely in my inside. He (a.s.) did not allow me to go near to that place’.¹
