Amara bin Zayd said: I saw Imam Javad, peace be upon him, and I said to him: O son of God’s Messenger! What is the sign of Imam? Hazrat said: When he does that, he immediately put his hand on a big stone and his fingerprints were revealed on it, and I saw him stretch and stretch the iron without using fire, and the stone using his ring ,stamped.[1] .
And also mentioned in the text:
Ibrahim bin Saad said: I saw Imam Jawad, peace be upon him, while he had long hair and it was black like a crow’s feather, he ran his hand over it and it turned red, then he rubbed the back of his hand over it and his hair turned white.
Once again he ran his palm over it, it returned to its original state and turned black, then he said to me: O Ibn Saad! The Imam’s signs are like this, I said: I saw your honorable father put his blessed hand on the ground and turn it into dirhams and dinars!
The Holy Prophet said: There are groups in your area who think that the Imam is in financial need, so the Holy Prophet turned the soil into gold to make them understand that the treasures of the earth are in the possession of the Imam (peace be upon him).[2]
