Seeing this, Imam Ali an-Naqi (as) cast a wrathful glance on the pillow on which there was a picture of a lion and upon which this Indian magician was reclining and resting; he slapped on the pillow and addressed the lion, "What are you looking at, eat up this magician"! As if the lion was waiting for a command from the Imam (as) that it immediately pounced upon the magician and within a matter of seconds, it ate and gobbled him up and then went back to its original shape of a picture!! All the people gathered there were completely spellbound and a deathly silence prevailed. The Imam (as) got up to go when Mutawakkil came begging for the magician to be restored back to life.
The Imam (as) turned around and said, "You shall never get him back, you tried to impose an enemy of Allah upon Allah's friends"; saying this the Imam (as) left." [This has been taken from the book Mukhtar al-Kharaij wal Jaraih, p.210.]
Imam Naqi was challenged by Mutawakill and his men every now and the, from the topic of his Imamate, to his clothing and repute... Imam Naqi gave this magician, whom was sent by Mutawakil, such a death, that some books say people fainted. This is the power of Imam Ali Al-Hadi An-Naqi (as)!
