Miracle 85: Imam Ali (a.s.) Unveils the Plot to Assassinate Him

It is narrated in the Tafseer of Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.), ‘On the night of Aqaba the mischief-makers wanted to kill the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), and the ones who remained in Medina wanted to kill Imam Ali (a.s.). When he (a.s.) followed him (s.a.w.a.) and narrated their hatred towards him (a.s.), he (s.a.w.a.) said: ‘Are you not pleased that you happen to be to me at the status of Haroun to Musa?’

They dug a deep pit for him (a.s.) and covered it. When he (a.s.) left and reached it, Allah, the Almighty caused his horse to talk. It said, ‘Travel by the Permission of Allah, the Almighty’. Then it rose. Then he (a.s.) instructed with uncovering it and they saw his wonder’’.¹
