Then he ordered a prize to be given to him and ordered the ignoble informer to be flogged a
thousand times. He was flogged five hundred times,[1] and he perished. As for ‘Ali b. Yaqteen, he
peacefully went out; Allah saved him from the punishment and tyranny of Harun. A poet has
composed a poem on this miracle, saying:
The pure one (Imam Musa) returned the clothes to Ibn Yaqteen and said to him: Take them, for
you will be questioned about them. Without doubt your enemy will be a loser![2]

Secondly, the Wudu’
Ali b. Yaqteen performed the Wudu’ of the Sunnis. He asked the Imam to guide him to the wudu’
he performed, but he ordered him to continue performing his wudu’ for a time when he would
guide him to that. The followers informed al‐Rashid of ‘Ali and said many times that he was a
Shi‘ite. Any way, al‐Rashid decided to try him through his wudu’. At the time of the ritual prayer,
he stood in one of the balconies of his palace and looked at ‘Ali; he saw him performing the wudu’
of the Sunnis; soon al‐Rashid became impatient and said: “I will never believe an informer against
you!” After that, the Imam wrote to him how to perform the wudu’. He mentioned to him that of
what he feared for him had disappeared. A poet has composed a poem concerning this miracle,
saying:
Then the state of the wudu’ is wonderful! How did he inform and tell him through the conscience?
He is the eye of life; he is salvation and guidance to him who acknowledges (his Imamate) and
ponders over (it)![1] Another poet has written a poem on that, saying: Were it not for Him (Musa),
(‘Ali) b. Yaqteen would not leave his previous way, which is well‐known. At a time when al‐Rashid
was in a lookout watching him during his affair (to know) how he (‘Ali) performed (his wudu’). He
saw something (issued) from him other than that of which he had been informed; and denied
what the informers said.
F. His Books
(Ali) b. Yaqteen was among the notables of knowledge and one of the meritorious of his time. The
following are some of his books:
1. Al‐Malahim; he took them from Imam al‐Sadiq.[2]
2. Munazarat al‐Shaak.[3]
3. Al‐Masa’il; he took them from Imam Musa, peace be on him.
