17 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ الرَّوَّاسِيِّ [الْعَنْبَرِيِّ] قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (ع) أَ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي فِي ظَهْرِ دَارِكَ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ذَاكَ مَسْجِدٌ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ النَّاسُ [النِّسَاءُ] فَقَالَ لِي يَا مَالِكُ ذَاكَ مَسْجِدٌ مَا أَتَاهُ مَكْرُوبٌ قَطُّ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ إِلَّا فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ- وَ أَعْطَاهُ حَاجَتَهُ فَقَالَ مَالِكٌ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَتَيْتُهُ وَ لَا صَلَّيْتُ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةٌ أَصَابَنِي أَمْرٌ اغْتَمَمْتُ مِنْهُ فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (ع) وَ قُمْتُ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ انْتَعَلْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ وَ خَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا عَلَى بَابِي مِصْبَاحٌ فَمَرَّ قُدَّامِي وَ مَرَرْتُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ انْتَعَلْتُ وَ انْصَرَفْتُ- فَمَرَّ قُدَّامِي حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْبَابِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ دَخَلْتُ ذَهَبَ فَمَا خَرَجْتُ لَيْلَةً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا وَجَدْتُ الْمِصْبَاحَ عَلَى بَابِي وَ قَضَى اللَّهُ حَاجَتِي
17. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Isā, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Ijlān, from Mālik ibn Ďumrah Al-Rawāsi (Al-‘Anbari), who said: The Commander of the Believers asked me, “Do you go and establish prayers in the mosque that is behind your house?” I replied, “O Commander of the Believers! Only women go to that mosque.” The Commander of the Believers
said, “O Mālik! No anguished person goes to this mosque, prays in it, and supplicates to Allāh without Allāh relieving him of his grief and granting him his request.” Mālik added: I swear to Allāh that I did not go to that mosque nor did I pray in it until one night when I was extremely grieved over a matter. Suddenly, I remembered the words of the Commander of the Believers
. I got up in the middle of the night and performed WUĎŪ`. When I left the house, I found a lamp outside the door of my house. The lamp started moving (on its own) and I followed it until I arrived at the mosque. The lamp stopped in front of me so I prayed there. After I finished (praying), the lamp started moving in front of me until I arrived at my home but it disappeared as soon as I entered my home. After this night, every time I would leave my house, I would find this lamp leading my way and Allāh granted my request.
