The Pilgrim’s Guidance Center and Missing Persons Headquarters once related, “Many amazing stories happen here. I’ll tell you one of them. Last year or the year before that, a woman came to Karbala. She came to the Pilgrim’s Guidance Center and said, ‘I’ve lost my infant child. It has been a few days I’ve lost him and I can’t tolerate it.’ ‘How did you lose your child?’
‘He was in his grandmother’s embrace, who was in a wheelchair. We were walking toward Karbala. A young man came and asked if he could help. He helped us until we came to a crowd and I lost them. He was stronger, so he walked faster. No matter how much I searched, I wasn’t able to find them.’ We said, ‘Give us your mother’s number.’ She said, ‘She doesn’t have a phone.’ We said, ‘What’s your mother’s name, we’ll page her.’ She said, ‘My mother is deaf and mute.’
We were thinking that how could we find this child among 10 million people in Karbala. We would take the woman to search around the shrine in the mornings. Then we would bring her back to rest some. Then we would search again. She couldn’t tolerate it; she was a mother who had lost her two-month old, nursing infant.
One place I saw a woman sitting facing the shrine and feeding a baby. I told myself, ‘I wish it was her baby in this woman’s embrace.’ Suddenly, I saw a wheelchair behind her. I called the mother and asked her, ‘Is that your mother's wheelchair?’ I didn’t even think about the baby. I thought some Arab woman is feeding her baby. The mother came to check the wheelchair. Suddenly, she saw the baby and screamed, ‘This is my baby!’ She went to the baby. The Arab woman gave the child to her kindly.
We brought a translator and asked her, ‘Why is this baby in your embrace?’ She said, ‘A few nights ago, I saw Aba al-Fazl al-Abbas in a dream. He told me, “I have a two-month old guest this year. Since you nurse a child and this child needs milk, go next to the shrine and you will find him there. They’ll be your guests for three days till his mother comes.” So, my husband and I came here searching and saying, “O Aba al-Fazl, where is your two-month old guest?!" Suddenly, I saw a young man with a woman who had a child who was perishing in her embrace. I went to talk to her, but she was deaf and mute. I asked if the baby wants milk. “Yes,” she said. I fed the baby. I took them to my house in the evenings and took care of them. In the mornings, I would bring them to the shrine to find his mother, and then you came.’”
O Aba al-Fazl al-Abbas, we are lost too! Find us too.
