ABOUT MIRACLES GRANTED TO ‘EESA (JESUS) (PEACE BE UPON HIM)
One of the manifestations of ‘Eesa uniqueness is that he was created through a Divine word from a female without male as He created our mother Hawwa (Eve) from a male without a female and our father Adam from neither male nor female.
Another of his characteristics is that he is alive and has not died. He is still physically alive in the nearest heaven, and he shall descend to the Earth before the Day of Resurrection upon the white eastern minaret at Damascus. When he descends, he will fill the Earth with justice and fairness as it has been filled with injustice and wrong. He will judge by the laws of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him).
Prophet ‘Eesa (Peace be upon him) was blessed with many miracles of which was restoring life to the dead. Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) also has similar miracles and more for he was blessed with giving life to the inanimate things; and this is a greater miracle than restoring life to dead humans. The Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) did speak with a poisoned goat meat. And this is far more astounding miracle than restoring life to dead humans.
It is authentically reported from Anas who narrated: “We entered upon a man from among the Ansar who was indisposed. We were still with him when he breathed his last. We then spread his garment and covered him while his aged mother sat near his head. One of us looked at her and said, ‘O Woman, bear this affliction of yours with patience and hope for the reward of your patience from Allah.’ The woman said, ‘What happened? Is my son dead?’ We replied in the affirmative. She said, ‘Are you telling the truth?’ We said, ‘Yes.’ She then spread her hands up unto Allah and said, ‘O Allah, You surely know that I embraced Islam and migrated to Your Messenger in order that You may help me during times of hardship and ease. Do not inflict on me this calamity today.’ She hardly finished her entreatment to Allah that her son removed the garment from his face and sat down. We did not leave him until after we had a meal with him.”
Another story
There is a story of Zaid Ibn Kharijah who spoke after he had died and testified in support of the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman that they were truthful. The story is popular and narrated with many chains of narrations.
Al-Bukhari recorded in his work At-Tareekh Al-Kabeer: “Zaid Ibn Kharijah Al-Khazraji Al-Ansari participated in the Battle of Badr. He died during the reign of Uthman. He was the one who spoke after death.”
Our Shaikh said: One of the miracles of ‘Eesa is that he healed the insane. Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) also did the same.
Ya‘la Ibn Murrah narrated that a woman brought a young son of hers who was mentally deranged and that he had never seen anyone’s mental derangement more severe than the boy’s. The woman said, “O Messenger of Allah, this son of mine is afflicted as you can see and, as a result, we also are troubled. Every day, we see in him what hurts us.” Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Bring him to me.” The woman raised the boy up to him and put him between the Prophet and the waist of the animal he was riding. The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) opened the boy’s mouth and spit into it and then said, ‘In the Name of Allah, I am a servant of Allah! Go out, O enemy of Allah!’ He then gave the boy back to her. The boy was healed instantly and his family never experienced any trouble from him again.”
Ibn Abbas narrated that a woman brought her son to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, he is mentally deranged and his derangement often occurs whenever we want to eat thereby spoiling for us the pleasure of eating.” The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped on his chest and supplicated for him. The boy then vomited forcefully that something like a black puppy came out of his mouth and moved away.”
Ibn Abbas also narrated: A woman from the Ansar came to Allah’s Messenger(Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was in Makkah and said, “O Messenger of Allah, this vicious one has overwhelmed me.” He said, “Be patient upon the situation you are in and (as a reward for that) you will come on the Day of Resurrection free from sins and reckoning.” The woman said, “By the One Who has sent you with the Truth, I shall be patient until I will meet Allah. But I fear that this vicious one might strip me naked.” The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) then supplicated for her. And whenever he feared that he would come to her, the cover of Ka‘bah would appear to her and she would hold on it and say, “Go away!” and he would go away from her.
As for Prophet ‘Eesa’s healing the blind and making them see, Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) restored an eye of Qatadah Ibn Nu‘man to its socket after it was gorged out and it fell on his cheek.
One of Qatadah’s grandsons, Asim Ibn Umar Ibn Qatadah entered upon Umar Ibn Abdul-Azeez and said, in a poetic passage the meaning of which goes thus:
I am the son of the one whose eye fell on his cheek;
And the eye was restored perfectly by the hand of the selected Prophet.
The eye then returned as it used to be;
How excellent the eye is and how excellent the cheek is!
