4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ الْكُنَاسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ خَرَجَ الْحَسَنُ بن علي (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) فِي بَعْضِ عُمَرِهِ وَمَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ الزُّبَيْرِ كَانَ يَقُولُ بِإِمَامَتِهِ فَنَزَلُوا فِي مَنْهَلٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمَنَاهِلِ تَحْتَ نَخْلٍ يَابِسٍ قَدْ يَبِسَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ فَفُرِشَ لِلْحَسَنِ تَحْتَ نَخْلَةٍ وَفُرِشَ لِلزُّبَيْرِيِّ بِحِذَاهُ تَحْتَ نَخْلَةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ لَوْ كَانَ فِي هَذَا النَّخْلِ رُطَبٌ لاكَلْنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَسَنُ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَشْتَهِي الرُّطَبَ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَدَعَا بِكَلامٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ فَاخْضَرَّتِ النَّخْلَةُ ثُمَّ صَارَتْ إِلَى حَالِهَا فَأَوْرَقَتْ وَحَمَلَتْ رُطَباً فَقَالَ الْجَمَّالُ الَّذِي اكْتَرَوْا مِنْهُ سِحْرٌ وَالله قَالَ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَيْلَكَ لَيْسَ بِسِحْرٍ وَلَكِنْ دَعْوَةُ ابْنِ نَبِيٍّ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ قَالَ فَصَعِدُوا إِلَى النَّخْلَةِ فَصَرَمُوا مَا كَانَ فِيهِ فَكَفَاهُمْ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya and Ahmad ibn Muhammad have narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from al-Qasim al-Nahdi from Isma‘il ibn Mihran from al-Kunasi from Abu ‘Abdallah who has said the following: “Once al-Hassan went outside the town with a man from the children of al-Zubayr who believed al-Hassan to be the Imam. They stopped for rest on one of the oasis under a palm tree that had dried up due to lack of water. A furnishing was spread for Imam al-Hassan under that tree and for al-Zubayri the furnishings were arranged under a tree just next to it. The narrator has said that al-Zubayri looked up the tree and said, 'I wish the tree had fruits so we could eat from them.' Al-Hassan asked, 'Do you wish to have dates?' He said, 'Yes, I do wish to have dates.' He (al-Hassan raised his hands to the sky and spoke certain words that I did not understand. The tree turned green, then it returned to its normal condition, and its leaves grew and it became loaded with dates. The man from they had hired camels begun to say, 'It, by Allah, is magic!' Al-Hassan said, 'Woe is you. It is not magic but it is a prayer of the son of a prophet that is answered.' They climbed the tree and picked the dates that were there and it provided enough for their needs.”
