حَدَّثَنا أَبُو العَبَّاس أَحمَد بن مُحَمَّد بن أَحمَد بن الحُسَين الحاكِم‏ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ سَمِعتُ أبا عَلِيٍّ عامِر بن عَبدُ اللَّه البيوردي الحاكِم بمرو الرود و كان من أصحاب الحديث يَقُولُ حَضَرْتُ مَشْهَدَ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بِطُوسَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً تُرْكِيّاً قَدْ دَخَلَ الْقُبَّةَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ الرَّأْسِ وَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي وَيَدْعُو بِالتُّرْكِيَّةِ وَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنْ كَانَ ابْنِي حَيّاً فَاجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَيِّتاً فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ خَبَرِهِ عَلَى عِلْمٍ وَمَعْرِفَةٍ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ أَعْرِفُ اللُّغَةَ التُّرْكِيَّةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ مَا لَكَ فَقَالَ كَانَ لِيَ ابْنٌ وَكَانَ مَعِي فِي حَرْبِ إِسْحَاقْ‏آبَادَ فَفَقَدْتُهُ وَلا أَعْرِفُ خَبَرَهُ وَلَهُ أُمٌّ تُدِيمُ الْبُكَاءَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَنَا أَدْعُو اللَّهَ تَعَالَى هَاهُنَا فِي ذَلِكَ لانِّي سَمِعْتُ أَنَّ الدُّعَاءَ فِي هَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ مُسْتَجَابٌ قَالَ فَرَحِمْتُهُ وَأَخَذْتُهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَخْرَجْتُهُ لأُضِيفَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ. فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ لَقِينَا رَجُلاً طَوِيلاً مِخْتَطّاً عَلَيْهِ مُرَقَّعَةٌ فَلَمَّا بَصُرَ بِذَلِكَ التُّرْكِيِّ وَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَعَانَقَهُ وَبَكَى وَعَرَفَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَإِذَا ابْنُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَجْمَعَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ وَيَجْعَلَهُ مِنْ خَبَرِهِ عَلَى عِلْمٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ كَيْفَ وَقَعْتَ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ قَالَ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ إِلَى طَبَرِسْتَانَ بَعْدَ حَرْبِ إِسْحَاقْ‏آبَادَ وَرَبَّانِي دَيْلَمِيٌّ هُنَاكَ فَالآْنَ لَمَّا كَبِرْتُ خَرَجْتُ فِي طَلَبِ أَبِي وَأُمِّي فَقَدْ كَانَ خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ خَبَرُهُمَا وَكُنْتُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ أَخَذُوا الطَّرِيقَ إِلَى هَاهُنَا فَجِئْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ التُّرْكِيُّ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِ هَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ مَا صَحَّ لِي بِهِ يَقِينِي وَقَدْ آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ لا أُفَارِقَ هَذَا الْمَشْهَدَ مَا بَقِيتُ. وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَوَّلاً وَآخِراً وَظَاهِراً وَبَاطِناً وَالصَّلاةُ وَالسَّلامُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ وَحَبِيبِهِ مُحَمَّد الْمُصْطَفَى وَآلِهِ وَعِتْرَتِهِ مَصَابِيحِ الدُّجَى وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً.

Abul Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Al-Husayn al-Hakim - may God be pleased with him - narrated that he had heard the ruler of MarvRood, Aba Ali Aamir ibn Abdullah al-Biwardi, who was one of the tradition narrators say, “I went to visit the Shrine of Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) in Toos. Then I saw a Turkish man enter the Shrine and stand up at the position of the Imam’s head. He cried and prayed in Turkish, and said, ‘O my Lord! If my son is alive, please bring us together. However, if he has died, please let me know.’ I knew Turkish. Then I asked him, ‘What is the matter?’ He said, ‘I had a son who was with me in the Battle of IsshaqAbad. I lost him there and have had no news of him. His mother cries for him day and night. I have come here to pray to God the Highest to solve this problem, since I have heard that prayers said in this Shrine get fulfilled.’ Then I felt sorry for him. I took his hands and took him out of the Shrine to act as his host that day. Once we left the mosque, we ran into a tall, young man who had just started to grow a mustache and was wearing patched clothes. When the Turkish man saw him, he jumped towards him, hugged him and cried. They both recognized each other. This was just the son for whom he was praying in Ar-Ridha’’s (a.s.) tomb to God the Highest to be united with, or be informed of his whereabouts. I (Abul Abbas Ahmad) asked the son, ‘How did you get here?” The son said, ‘After the Battle of IsshaqAbad, I ended up in Tabaristan. A man from Daylam Abad took me to his house and raised me. Now that I have grown up, I have set out to find my parents about whose whereabouts I had no information. I was accompanying a group of people, since I did not know the way until I reached here.’ Then the Turkish man said, ‘I saw what has made my belief in this Shrine certain due to this tomb. Now I promise myself not to part with it for as long as I live.’”
