of Allah’s Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family:
‐Which miracle is a proof of the prophethood of Muhammed, may Allah bless him and his family?
His (Allah’s) dominating Book that dazzles the intellects of beholders along with the lawful and the
unlawful He has given, and other than them; if we mentioned it, it would take us along time to
explain it.
‐How can we come to know that this (miracle) is just as you have mentioned? Imam Musa, though
young, asked them:
‐How can we come to know the verses Allah (revealed) to Musa (Moses) according to what you
describe? ‐We have known that through the narration reported by the truthful. ‐Therefore, know
the truthfulness of what I have told you through the answer of the boy (Imam Musa) Allah has
taught without teaching and knowledge from narrators.
Imam Musa dazzled the Jews, and they believed in his words, which were really a miracle, and
became Muslims, saying: “We bear witness that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammed is the
Apostle of Allah, that you are the guiding Imams and the proofs of Allah over his creatures.”
[1] Al‐Manaqib, vol. 3, pp. 427‐429.
When Imam Musa mentioned this proof and the people became Muslims at his hand, Abu ‘Abd
Allah (al‐Sadiq) arose and kissed him on the forehead and said to him: “You are the one who will
undertake the office of the Imamate (qa’im), after me.” Then he (al‐Sadiq) ordered clothes and
gifts to be given to them. They thanked him for that and went away.”[1]
With Burayha
Burayha was among the leading personalities of the Christians and among their brilliant scholars.
He looked for the truth and sought guidance, so he associated with all the Muslim sects; he
debated with them but did not reach the objective he wanted. The Shi’ites and Hisham b. al‐
Hakam were described to him, and he along with a hundred Christian scholars. When they sat
down, Burayha questioned Hisham about the most important ideological and theological matters.
Hisham answered them, and then they all went to have the honor of meeting with Imam Abi ‘Abd
Allah (al‐Sadiq), peace be on him. Before they met him, they had met with Imam Musa, so Hisham
told him about his debates and speech with Burayha. Thus, the Imam turned to Burayha and
asked him:
‐O Burayha, what about your knowledge of your Book?
‐I am knowledgeable of it.
