MIRACLE 82 – TREES MOVE ON THE ORDERS OF AMEERUL MOMINEEN (A.S.)

Imam Ali (a.s.) said to Qanbar: ‘O Qanbar! Go to that tree and to that one facing it – and there was between the two a distance of more than one Farsakh (5.76 km) – and call out to them both, ‘The successor of Mohammed (s.a.w.a.) is ordering you both to join up’.

Qanbar said, ‘O Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)! Will my voice reach them both?’. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: ‘The One who made the sight of your eyes reach to the sky – and between you and it is a travel distance of five hundred years, would make your voice reach both of them’.

He went and called out, and one of them sprinted to the other with a sprint of the two lovers whose absence had been prolonged from the other – and his desire for him was intense, and they both embraced.

The hypocritical people of the army said, ‘Ali (a.s.) is equal in his sorcery to Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), his cousin! Neither was he a Prophet nor is this one an Imam, and rather, they are both sorcerers!¹
