In this chapter Janab Muhaddith Noori (ra) first mentions about more that 250 people who have met Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s) as reported by Shaikh Saduq(ar). He then goes on to mention in detail about 100 additional incidents of meeting Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s) in the major occultation. For the sake of brevity we are just mentioning 5 of these incidences in our excerpts. Today we present the second of these five.

*2. The wound from the battle of Siffeen* [Incident 46 of chapter 7]

People of our area have narrated from Muhyuddin Arbili. He says that once he came to his father accompanied by another person and as they sat there, that person dozed and the turban fell down from his head and they noticed a deep wound on his head.

My father asked:

_“How and when did you receive this injury?”_

He replied: _“It was in Siffeen.”_

He was asked: _“How is that possible, the Battle of Siffeen occurred a long time ago?”_

He said: _“Once I was traveling to Egypt, when a person from Gaza also accompanied me. On the way mention was made about the Battle of Siffeen. He said: If I had been present in the Battle of Siffeen I would have quenched the thirst of this sword of mine with the blood of Ali and his followers.”_

_I said: “And if I had been present in the Battle of Siffeen, I would have quenched the thirst of this sword of mine with the blood of Muawiyah and his men. Since they are not present here, I and you represent both the parties. Let us fight and see who wins."_

_We stared a duel and I was hurt by his sword and fell down in a swoon._

_I was lying in that condition when someone came and awakened me with the point of his spear. When I opened my eyes, he alighted from his mount. When he passed his hand over my wound, it was instantly cured. Then he told me to wait there._

_He returned after sometime with the severed head and horse of my opponent._

_He said: “Take the severed head of your enemy. Since you helped us, we also helped you and the Almighty Allah indeed helps those who help Him.”_

_I asked: “Who are you?”_

_He replied: “I am so-and-so; that is the Master of the Affair (Saahebul Amr).”_

_Then he said: “If someone asks you where you got this wound from, you should say that you were injured in the Battle of Siffeen."_

*May the Almighty honour us with the service of Saahebul Amr throughout our lives.*
