Once the river Euphrates burst its banks and the entire farms and orchards surrounding it began to flood. They people went to Sayyiduna Ali Razi ALLAH Taala Anhu and asked him to make dua. He immediately stood up and wore the Jubbah of the beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. He then tied the turban of the beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam and covered himself with the shawl of the beloved Prophet Sayyedina Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. He saddled his horse and rode towards the River Euphrates. A huge group of people followed him by foot.

Hazrat Imam Hassan Razi ALLAH Taala Anhu and Imam Hussain Razi ALLAH Taala Anhu were also amongst those who followed him. He stopped on the bridge beside the river and pointed to the river with his Aasa. The swelling river dropped in depth. He did this three times and the depth of the water decreased thrice. The people then called out to him and said that the situation could now be controlled, so he stopped.
