Meytham Tammar (the faithful companion of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) say '' I was in the presence of Amir Momenan, Imam Ali (peace be upon him). The people had circled him and suddenly a tall man that had worn a gray aba and a yellow turban and was armed with two swords entered without saying hello.
The people stretched their necks in order to see him and as they had circled him, they were staring at him, but Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) did not stretch his sacred neck to look at him.
When the people became aware, their mouth opened like sharp sword out of hatchet and said '' which one of you is chosen as a brave person, wears the crown of perfection and superiority and the armor of contentment?''
He asked '' which one of you is born in the holy shrine, has an exalted personality
Which one of you does not have hairy head, has permanent basis, is a brave warrior, makes breathing difficult and is the receiver of punishment?''
Which one of you is from gentle dynasty of Abi Taleb?'' Which one of you helped the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) in his time, empowered his government and improved his rank?'
'' Which one of you has murdered and captured Umarv?''
Meytham Tammar says '' Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), answered
'' O' Sad Bin Fazl Bin Rabie Bin Madrake Bin Tayyeb Bin Ashath Bin Abi Sama Bin Ahbal Bin Fazare Bin Dail Bin Umarv Duini! I am''.
He said '' Labbeik! O' Ali!''
Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), said
سل عمّا بدا لك فأنا كنز الملهوف ، وأنا الموصوف بالمعروف ، أنا الّذي قرعني الصمّ الصلاب وهطل بأمرى السحاب ، وأنا المبعوث بالكتاب ، أنا الطور والأسباب ، أنا «ق» والقرآن المجيد ، أنا النبأ العظيم .
أنا الصراط المستقيم أنا البارع ، أنا العسوس أنا القلمّس والعفوس ، أنا المداعس ، أنا ذوالنبوّة والسطوة ، أنا العليم ، أنا الحليم ، أنا الحفيظ ، أنا الرفيع ، وبفضلي نطق كلّ كتاب وبعلمي شهدوا ذووا الألباب، أنا عليّ أخو رسولاللَّه، زوج ابنته، وأبو بنيه.
''Ask me whatever questions you have because I am the treasure of sad persons. I am described as a benevolent person. I am a person that made the earth tranquilized. The sky rained according to my order. I am a person that has been described in any books. I am manners and means. I am '' gh'' and Quran. I am a great prophet and a right path. I have virtues, the searcher of hunting animals, great master and brave warrior.
I have prophecy mission and am wise, patient, preserver and exalted. Each book expressive is because of my benevolence and scientists attest because of my knowledge. Imam Ali, the brother of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants), the husband of his daughter and the father of his children.
In such a time, the Arabic man said '' we have understood that you make the dead alive on the earth, make them die and make the people poor and rich and meet their needs''.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) asked '' what's your problem?''
He said '' I am the representative of sixty thousand populations from Aghime Tribe. One of them has died for a while and there is disagreement among them about the reason of his death. The corpse is behind the mosque now. If you revitalize him, we will understand that you are honest, gentle and honorable. I am sure that you are the sign of God on the earth. If you cannot revitalize him, we return him to his tribe and we will understand that your claim is not correct and express whatever you cannot do''.
Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him) looked at Meytham Tammar and said
''O' Aba Jafar! Ride a horse, look around the streets and the alleys of Kufa and announce
'' Whoever wants to see the virtue and high science and knowledge that God has granted to Imam Ali (peace be upon him), the brother of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) and the husband of Hazrat Fateme (peace be upon her) comes to the Najaf Desert''.
When Meytham Tammar did his mission and came back, Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), said to him '' be the host of this Arabic Man ''.
Meytham Tammar says '' I took him to my house along with the coffin with him and my family and I were in his service''.
In the next day, in the morning when Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), fulfilled Morning Prayer, he went toward Najaf Desert. I was with him as well and all of people (whether good or bad) came there.
Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), stated
'' O' Aba Jafar! Bring the Arabic Man along with his corpse here''.
I obeyed the order of Imam Ali and had both of them attend Najaf Desert. Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), looked at the people and said
'' O' the people of Kufa! Describe whatever you see about us and narrate others whatever hears from us''.
Then he stated '' O' Arabic Man! Have your camel lie down and take the corpse of your friend out of the coffin with the help of some Muslims''.
Meytham Tammar says '' The Arabic man took out of the coffin cloth made of yellow brocade and opened it. There was cloth made of green dbrocade under yellow brocade and he opened it as well. There was a pack of pearls under it and through it, there was youth that had hair as beautiful as the hair of woman. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) looked at the Arabic man and said
'' How long has this youth died?''
He said '' he has died since forty one ago''.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) asked '' why has he died?''
The Arabic man said '' his family wants you to revitalize him so that they say who has killed him because he slept safe and sound at night and around the dawn his whole body had been cut''. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said ''
'' Who wants his death?
He said '' fifty persons of his kin cooperated to murder him. O' the brother of the messenger of God! Remove hesitation and doubt and reveal his murder. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said
'' His uncle has killed him because he had his daughter marry him, but this youth left her and married another woman. His uncle killed him from his grudge.
The Arabic man said '' we are convinced with such a remark. I want that this youth attests among his family who has killed him so that the fire of riot and war extinguishes among them''.
Amir Al-Momenin stood up, thanked and extolled exalted God and said peace be the prophet ( peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants). Then he stated
'' O' the people of Kufa! As a matter of fact, the value of the cow of Bani Israeil is not higher than Ali, the brother of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him) and his descendants) in God as exalted God made a dead person alive through him after seven days''.
Then he went beside the corpse and sat
'' As they had an organ of the body of the cow touch the body of the dead person, he became alive. I have an organ of my body touch this dead person because an organ of my body is better than an organ of the cow''.
Then He moved him with his right foot and said
'' In this time, a youth that was more beautiful than the sun and more shiny than moonlight stood up from the coffin and looked at Amir Momenan, Imam Ali(peace be upon him), and said
'' Labeik! Labeik! O' person that revitalizes bones! O' the sign of God for people! O' the unique person in kindness and affection! O' Amir Momenan! O' the successor of the messenger of God! O' Ali Bin Abi Taleb!''
Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), asked '' O' the youth! Who has killed you?''
He answered'' my uncle, Harith Bin Zame Bin Mikal Bin Asam, has killed me''.
Then Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said to the young man'' come back to your family''.
The young man said '' I do not need the help of my kin''.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) asked '' why don't you need it?''
He answered '' I am afraid that they kill me again''.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) looked at him and said '' come back to your family''.
The Arabic man said '' as long as I am alive, I am with you and this youth''.
They were with Amir Al-Momenin, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), until both of them martyred in Seffin War. God's mercy be upon them.
After the people of Kufa observed this wonderful event, they came back their houses and expressed different remarks about Imam Ali (peace be upon him).
