11. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from the one whom he has mentioned, he has said the following: “It was said to al-Rida (a.s.) ‘You speak of it (Your Divine Authority) and blood drips from the sword (of your enemies).’ The Imam said, ‘Allah has a valley that is gold. He has guarded it with ants, the weakest creature. Even if the camels of Khurasan (North East parts of Iran) try to go there they cannot reach it.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
