Hadith 1:
عن أبي هارون العبدي قال: كنت عند أبي عبد الله الصادق (عليه السلام) إذ دخل عليه رجل وقال: بما تفتخرون علينا ولد عبد المطلب؟! وكان بين يديه طبق فيه رطب, فأخذ (عليه السلام) رطبة ففلقها واستخرج نواها, ثم غرسها في الارض وتفل عليها, فخرجت من ساعتها, وربت حتى أدركت وحملت, واجتنى منها رطباً, فقدم إليه في طبق, وأخذ واحدة ففلقها فأكل, وإذا على نواها مكتوب: لا إله إلا الله, محمد رسول الله, أهل بيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله خزان الله في أرضه. ثم قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): أتقدرون على مثل هذا؟! قال الرجل: والله لقد دخلت عليك وما على بسيط الأرض أحد أبغض عليَّ منك وقد خرجت وما على بسيط الأرض أحد أحب إلي منك.
Narrated by Abu Harun al-Abdi:
I was with Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) when a man entered and said, "By what do you, the descendants of Abd al-Muttalib, boast [faqhr] over us?"
In front of the Imam was a tray of fresh dates. He took a date, split it open, and extracted its seed. Then he planted it in the ground and spat upon it. At that very hour, it sprouted and grew until it reached maturity and bore fruit.
The Imam gathered fresh dates from it and presented them to the man on a tray. The man took one, split it, and ate it. Suddenly, he saw that written upon its seed was: "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad (ص) is the Messenger of Allah, the Household [AhlulBayt] of the Messenger of Allah (ص) are the treasurers of Allah on His earth."
Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) then asked, "Are you capable of such a thing?"
The man replied, "By Allah, I entered your presence and there was no one on the face of the earth more hateful to me than you, but I leave now and there is no one on the face of the earth more beloved to me than you."
