Abu Khalid then departed, having restored the house to its [original] state and saved its people."
The Chapter of the Miracle of the Master Yahya ibn Umm al-Tawil al-Thamali (Peace be upon him)
[154] Abu ‘Ali al-Saffa narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Musa ibn Ja’far [Al-Rida], Mighty is His Might, tracing the report back to our Master Abu Ja’far [Al-Baqir], Mighty is His Might:
"A group of people asked him [the Imam] about a certain matter. Just then, Yahya ibn Umm al-Tawil al-Thamali (peace be upon him) passed by. The Imam said to him: 'Answer them, O Yahya.'
Yahya answered them, but they said: 'We desired the answer from you [the Imam].' He replied: 'The answer is that which Yahya has given you.'
They repeated their demand a third time. Thereupon, the Imam said: 'O boy, bring firewood!' He brought firewood and kindled a fire.
