Hadith record

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya and Ahmad ibn Muhammad have narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from al-Qasim al-Nahdi from Isma‘il ibn Mihran from al-Kunasi from Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Once al-Hassan (a.s.) went outside the town with a man from the children of al-Zubayr who believed al-Hassan to be the Imam. They stopped for rest on one of the oasis under a palm tree that had dried up due to lack of water. A furnishing was spread for Imam al-Hassan (a.s.) under that tree and for al-Zubayri the furnishings were arranged under a tree just next to it. The narrator has said that al-Zubayri looked up the tree and said, 'I wish the tree had fruits so we could eat from them.' Al-Hassan (a.s.) asked, 'Do you wish to have dates?' He said, 'Yes, I do wish to have dates.' He (al-Hassan (a.s.) raised his hands to the sky and spoke certain words that I did not understand. The tree turned green, then it returned to its normal condition, and its leaves grew and it became loaded with dates. The man from they had hired camels begun to say, 'It, by Allah, is magic!' Al-Hassan (a.s.) said, 'Woe is you. It is not magic but it is a prayer of the son of a prophet that is answered.' They climbed the tree and picked the dates that were there and it provided enough for their needs.”
