Imam k As-haab waaqafi mazhab ko chorker 

deen e haq per khwaab k zariyea Imaan le aaye

Al-Hasan bin Ali Al-Washa se riwayat hai — jo Imam Riza a.s ke sahaabi the — aur woh Waaqafi hone se nikal aaye (yaani woh pehle yeh aqeeda rakhte the ke Musa Al-Kazim (a.s.) hi Qaim hain aur unke baad koi Imam nahi), yeh us ghaibi khabar ki wajah se hua jo Imam Riza a.s. ne un par zahir ki.

Woh kehte hain:

“Hum Marw mein ek shakhs ke sath thay, aur hamare sath ek aadmi bhi tha jo Waqifi tha. Maine us se kaha:
‘Allah se daro, main khud tum jaisa tha, phir Allah ne mere dil ko roshan kar diya. Tum Budh, Jumerat aur Juma ka roza rakho, ghusl karo, do rakat namaz parho, aur Allah se dua karo ke woh tumhein neend mein is amr ke baray mein koi daleel dikha de.’

Phir main ghar wapas aaya to Abi Al-Hasan (a.s.) ki taraf se ek khat pehle hi mujhe mil chuka tha, jismein woh mujhe issi aadmi ke liye dua karne ka hukm de rahe thay. Main us aadmi ke paas gaya aur usay yeh baat bata di.

Aur maine kaha:
‘Alhamdulillah, aur 100 martaba istikhara karo.’
Aur maine kaha:
‘Mujhe Abi Al-Hasan (a.s.) ka khat mil chuka hai jo mere ghar pohancha tha, jismein isi baat ka zikr tha jis mein hum thay. Mujhe umeed hai ke Allah tumhara dil roshan kar dega. Is liye jo kuch maine tumhein kaha hai — roza aur dua — us par amal karo.’

Phir woh Hafta ki raat mere paas aaya aur kaha:
‘Main gawahi deta hoon ke yeh wahi Imam hain jinki itaat wajib hai.’

Maine poocha: ‘Kaise?’
To us ne kaha:
‘Abu Al-Hasan (a.s.) mere khwab mein aaye aur farmaya:
“Ai Ibrahim! Allah ki qasam, tum haq ki taraf laut aao ge.”
Aur us ne kaha ke Allah ke siwa kisi ne bhi use yeh baat zahir nahi ki.’”
