Ism al-Azam (Miraculous Words)

Then the Imam (as) said, “Allah has taught two Ism al-Azam (Miraculous Words) to Prophet ‘Isa (as), which caused the miracles credited to him. Allah taught four Ism al-Azam to Prophet Musa (as), eight to Prophet Ibrahim (as), fifteen to Prophet Nooh (as) and twentyfive to prophet Adam (as). There are 73 Ism al-Azam in all, and our Prophet (S) has been informed of 72. There is one Ism al-Azam, about which Allah has not imparted the knowledge to anyone!”
Imam ‘Ali Naqi (as) narrates that Allah has 73 Ism al-Azam out of which only one was known to Asif bin Barqiah through which he was able to fetch the Throne of Bilqis in the time taken to wink the eyes. We, the Ahl-ul-Bayt have the knowledge of 72 Ism al-Azam! There is one Ism al-Azam of which, none other than Allah has the knowledge. Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (as) said that the staff of Prophet Musa (as) was with prophet Adam (as), then it came down to Prophet Shoeb (as) and then to prophet Musa (as). The staff is now in our possession. It is still fresh and green, as if, it has just been separated from the tree. If talked to, the staff gives replies. This staff will reach the Last Imam Mahdi (as), from hand to hand. The Last Imam Mahdi (as) will throw the staff towards his enemies and it would turn into a serpent and swallow them.”
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) says, “The Tablets of Musa (as) and his Staff are with us. We are the inheritors of the Prophets (S).”
Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (as) says, “When the Last Imam Mahdi (as) will appear in Mecca, it will be ordered that no person should carry any eatables with him. The Imam (as) will have one Tablet of Musa (as) on his camel’s back. With the help of this tablet food and other necessary things will become available, whenever required.”
