flesh to the Moslems to consume. So, favor and aid of the master, Abalfazl (a.s.) is not restricted to the Moslems. Rather, he also helps the nonMoslems. 18) Healing of Jewish physician Mr. Nurollah Mortazaei Toyserkani, resident of Qom sacred city, on 21.12.1998 wrote: A Jewish Dr. Mirza Ebrahim had a clinic in Toyserkan city. At night of martyrdom of Hazrat Abalfazl (a.s.) in 1956, he is afflicted with a severe bellyache so that he is not treated in spite of treatments and medications used. Rather, his painis rapidly increased. He had a Moslem servant. He says to him: Do something for me, otherwise I will die soon! The servant replies: You are a physician and the patients come to you for treatment, and you prescribe for them. Whatcan I do for you while you can not do anything for yourself?! The servant says: Suddenly, it occurred to my mind to go to Baghvar mosque where mourning ceremonies for HazratAbalfazl Abbas (a.s.) was in process, and bring a cup of boiled water and some pieces of sugar to give to the physician, haply he is healed. The servant says: I went to Baghavar mosque and dissolved some pieces of sugar in the boiled water and brought and gave to the physician to drink. Gradually, he was feeling better and recovered. The physician asked me: What did you give me todrink that was so impressive like a stamp on a paper, and relieved me from the pain?!I replied: I brought some boiled water and pieces of sugar from the mourning ceremonies of Qamar Bani HashemHazrat Abbas (a.s.) in Baghavar mosque, and gave it to you. The physician asked: Who has been Abalfazl?I said: He is the brother of Imam Hossein (a.s.), master of martyrs. Imam Hossein (a.s.) with 72 of his companions were martyred in Karbala for defending Islam, and their women and children were captivated after the martyrdom of men.Hazrat Abbas (a.s.) too was one of the 72 people who was martyred beside Alqameh stream, and his two hands were cut. By lapse of 14 centuries from that time, we Moslems mourn in Moharram to commemorate them every year. The physician said: Now, I too vow to give 3 kg sugar and 1 kg tea for Hazrat Abbas (a.s.). The Jewish physician immediately gives money to the servant to buy sugar and tea and take to Baghavar mosque. Theservant too takes sugar and tea to the mosque. The pantry man says to the servant: I can not accept theses, because he is a Jew, unless an Islamic judge authorizes me. The servant goes to Ayatollah Ta’allohi who had departed to there by order of Hazrat Ayatollah
