The status of saints and their miracles in light of the Holy Quran and the Hadith

 Miracle of Hadhrat Imam Zain Ul A’abideen

Imam Muhammad bin ‘Ali Sabban (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has related a Tradition in As’aaf Ur Raghibeen:

Translation: When ‘Abdul Malik bin Marwaan put Imam Zain Ul A’abideen (May Allah be well pleased with him) in shackles, Imam Zuhri (May Allah shower His mercy on him) came to bid him farewell and tearfully said:  I wish I was in your place.  On this, the Imam said:  Do you think these things hurt me?  If I were wish to it so these things would never happen but that they remind me of Allah Most High.  Then the Imam took his hands out of the shackles and again put them back in.  (As’aaf Ur Raghibeen Fi Seeratil Mustafa Wa Fadhaaili Ahli Baitit Tahireen, Pg. No. 239)
