عَنْهُ عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَاضْطَرَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَوَحَاهَا بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا اسْكُنِي مَا لَكِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا وَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَأَجَابَتْنِي وَ لَكِنْ لَيْسَتْ بِتِلْكَ.
366. From him, from Salih, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ibn Muskaan, from Abu Bakr Al-Hazramy, from Tameem Bin Haatim who said: We were with Amir-ul-Momineen (asws), so the earth became restless (tremor). So he (asws) gestured with his (asws) hand, then said to it: ‘Calm down! What is the matter with you?’ Then he (asws) turned towards us and said: ‘But, had it been that (quake) which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said, it would have answered me (asws), but it is not that one’.
