Charity in the name of Imame Zamana!

This is an incident witnessed by the Ahmed Al-Ali, Kuwait. Once I was admitted to the hospital, and as I was lying in my ward, I saw a friend of mine bring in his son with a life threatening situation. His son was in acute pain, and when I asked my friend he said that the nurses were taking some tests and soon his son would be taken to the operating theatre.

Well, the nurse took a sample of blood, and we on the other hand started comforting the little boy who was only nine years old. As we were waiting the father of the boy put something small under the pillow of his son.

Shortly after, the doctor arrived and said that they had tested the blood and didn't think it necessary to operate, and instead some medicine was prescribed for him. The father at once thanked the Imam of our time Al Mahdi for helping, and then revealed that he had put an amount of money as charity and asked the Imam to help, and this was the result.

Charity removes illness!

The author of the book Najafiyat, Sheikh Ali Dakheel relates that Al Haj Abdul Hussein Abu Reeha related to him that Al Haj Rasheed Roomaani who was a Syrian businessman once became extremely sick. His family had surrounded him with despair, crying for him.

The sick man asked his family whether they wished him to be well. They admitted eagerly that that was their hearts desire. Well he asked them to give all the food and grains stored in the house as charity. Shortly after he recovered and is said to have lived up to the age of 130 years.

Indeed the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w.) says: "Cure your sickness with charity". (NAJAFIAT PAGE 117)
