كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ وَ ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهَا تَرَكَتِ ابْنَهَا وَ قَدْ قَالَتْ بِالْمِلْحَفَةِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَيِّتاً فَقَالَ لَهَا لَعَلَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ فَقُومِي فَاذْهَبِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَ صَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ ادْعِي وَ قُولِي يَا مَنْ وَهَبَهُ لِي وَ لَمْ يَكُ شَيْئاً جَدِّدْ هِبَتَهُ لِي ثُمَّ حَرِّكِيهِ وَ لَا تُخْبِرِي بِذَلِكِ أَحَداً قَالَتْ فَفَعَلْتُ فَحَرَّكْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ بَكَى .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Jameel who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so a woman came over to him<sup>asws</sup> and she mentioned that she had neglected her son and she had said, ‘With a quilt upon his face, dead’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to her: ‘Perhaps he did not die. Therefore, arise and go to your house, wash and pray two Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> and supplicate, and say, ‘O the One Who Endowed him to me when there was nothing, Renew the Endowment to me’. Then move him, and do not inform anyone with that’. She said, ‘So I did it, and moved him, so there he was, crying’.
