Jashn-e-Zahoor-e-Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi A.S Mubarak to All Momeneen & Momenath. Imam Ali Naqis (as) Judgment to send tricking Zainab into the cage of Lions: During the time of Abbasid Caliph Al-Mutawakkil a lady claimed that she was Zainab the daughter of Fatimah (sa). Abbasid Caliph Al-Mutawakkil said, Many long years have passed since that period when Zainab lived and you are quite young. She replied, Yes, but the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) drew his hand upon my head and prayed for me to remain young for ever. As such, after every forty years I turn back to become young. Al-Mutawakkil called upon all the wise men to visit him and enquired from them, What do you say about the claim of this women. All of them said, she tells a lie. Al-Mutawakkil said, I know that she is lying, but what proof and logic do you have to condemn her. They said, We do not know, Imam Ali Naqi (as) should solve this problem. Al-Mutawakkil at once summoned Imam Ali Naqi (as) and told him about that matter. Imam Ali Naqi (as) said, send her to the cage of the lions, if she is telling the truth, because the beasts do not molest the children of Fatimah (sa) and do not eat their flesh. Al-Mutawakkil said to the woman, what do you say? She said, This man wishes that I may be killed. If he is right then let him do it himself. Al-Mutawakkil said, she is right, you must do it first yourself. Imam Ali Naqi (as) replied, There is no hurdle to it He went to the lions in the cage and sat among them. All observed with amazement, that the lions sat very respectfully before the Imam Ali Naqi (as) and sometimes caressed themselves against his body and he caressed their bodies with his hand, affectionately. When Imam Ali Naqi (as) ordered that they might move to a corner, all of them crept to a nook. Then Imam Ali Naqi (as) came out of the cage and went to Al-Mutawakkil and said, Oh woman now it is your turn. The woman started crying and begging saying, I told a lie, I am the daughter of such and such man, and wanted to play a trick and a hoax but it did not work. Imam Ali Naqi (as) in Abbasid Caliph Al-Mutawakkils party: Al-Mutawakkil, the cruel Abbasid Caliph was very fearful that people were so drawn to our 10th Imam, Imam Ali Naqi (as). He was very upset with the realization of the fact that people were ready to do anything that the Imam Ali Naqi (as) would order. Some of the conspirators also gathered around the Caliph and told him that perhaps the Imam Ali Naqi (as) has intention of revolt. And that they might find some evidence from his house. Thus Al-Mutawakkil ordered some of his cruel fellow men to break in and search Imam Ali Naqis (as) house and arrest him, in the middle of the night without a notice when all were asleep. Al-Mutawakkil made this decision while he was in a party and was drinking heavily. Al-Mutawakkils men entered Imam Ali Naqis (as) house and decided to arrest him first. They found him alone, in a room. He had taken the carpet out and was sitting on the gravel of the floor busy in remembrance of Allah. They searched everywhere and couldnt find anything. Thus they arrested the Imam Ali Naqi (as) and took him to Al-Mutawakkil. When the Imam Ali Naqi (as) arrived. Al-Mutawakkil was at the prime of his drinking party. He ordered the Imam Ali Naqi (as) to sit next him. Then he offered a glass of wine to the Imam Ali Naqi (as). Imam Ali Naqi (as) refuse and said: By Allah never has wine entered my body. Excuse me from it. Al-Mutawakkil accepted and said: Then sing for us and entertain us with beautiful poems. Imam Ali Naqi (as) said: I am not interested in poetry and I remember only but a little of the poems of other. Al-Mutawakkil said: There is no excuse; you must read us some poetry. Imam Ali Naqi (as) started: They made rising mountains their residence. And they always had armed men guarding them. But none could save them from the attack of death. At the end they were descended from those hills and placed in the deeply dug graves with misery and humility. At this time a caller called: Where is all that glory, crowns, and luxury? Where is the face that knew comfort and hid itself behind silk curtains from the gazes of the commoner? The grave disgraced them at end. Those delicate faces are the ground for worms to crawl on. For a long time they sucked, swallowed, drank and ate of the earth. But today they are food for the earth and its pests. Imam Ali Naqis (as) voice resonated with a deep and effected melody onto the ears of the attendants, and destroyed the high of the wine. Al-Mutawakkil threw his glass away and started crying. Thus was Abbasid Caliph Al-Mutawakkils party ruined, and the light of truth shun into a disease heart even if it were for a fleeting moment.
