The good fortune of Haji Mohammed Ali Fashandi
This incident is reported on pages 149-154 of the book Shiftaane’ Hazrat Imam Mahdi (a.s.) Haji Mohammed Ali Fashandi was a resident of Iran. He narrates his meeting with Imame’ Zaman (a.s.) as follows-
In my youth I had decided that I would raise my level of piety to that extent that when I would travel for Hajj to Makkah, I would get a opportunity to meet Imame’ Zaman (a.s.) Therefore with this intention, I would travel for Hajj every year to Makkah. In one particular year, I went for Hajj. This year, I was having the responsibility of a few Hajis on me. On the eve of 8th Zilhajj, I decided to gather all my belongings and items and go to the ground of Arafat so that I would be able to prepare and book a good place for my companions when they would arrive the next day.
At the ground of Arafat, I was able to book a tent and keep all my belonging there. I was aware that at that time, there was no one in Arafat other than myself. There was a guard at the entrance of the tent and he came to me and said, “Why have you come here today? Do you not know that you are alone here? Your belonging could be stolen by thieves who operate in this area. In any case since you have come here, It is better that you remain awake the entire night and guard your belongings.” I said, “No problem. I will remain awake till morning and guard my possessions.”
