Mystic Incident When Imam Jafor Sadiq Radiallahu Anhu Was Taken To The Caliph.. Poem by Rhymer Rhymer

Once the caliph Mansur ordered is minister to bring Imam Ja'far Sadiq (May Allah shower His mercy on him)to him so that he could get him killed.The minister requested the king: It is not reasonable to kill a person who has secluded himself from the world. However, the king insisted that his order be carried out.The minister went to get the Imam. Here, Mansur told his slaves that his removing the crown from his head will be the signal for them to kill the Imam.When the minister returned with the Imam, the Imam's majesty and dignity affected the king so much that he himself stood up to receive the Imam.
The king made the imam seated on his throne and he himself respectfully sat in front of him and asked about his needs.The Imam said: "My most urgent need is that you shouldn't call me again as it disturbs my worship".Thus, Mansur promised this and saw off the Imam with utmost respect and reverence.Mansur was so affected by the Imam that for 3 days and 3 nights he remained unconscious and as per another narration, he missed 3 Salaat in this unconsciousness.

The slaves were surprised on seeing this.When they asked the king about his condition, he told them that along with the Imam a huge python had come whose jaws were so huge that it could swallow the whole dais of the king.He also told that the snake warned him that if the Imam was disrespected, it would swallow him along with his dais. Thus, the snake awed me and I asked the Imam for forgiveness.
