Lesson one hundred forty :Microscopic animals

Imam Reza( A. S. )says:

انَّما قُلْنا «الَّطِيفُ» لِلْخَلْقِ اللَّطِيفِ ... وَ ما لا يَكادُ عُيُونُنا تَسْتَبِينَهُ لِدِمامَةِ خَلْقِها، لا تَراهُ عُيُونُنا وَ لاتَلْمُسُهُ ايْدِينا!

Translation

We call God All- Subtle due to creation of very fine and small animals' the animals which we can not see them for being too small, and our hand does not feel them..

Brief description

What you see above is a small part of a long tradition which Fat'h Ebne Yazid Gorgani has narrated from Imam Reza( A. S. ), in which it is described that these animals are so tiny that are never felt, and are scattered among the waves of seas and barks of trees, and deserts and plains'.

This tradition which is written about one thousand years ago has been left as a memorial of that Imam( A. S. )and has been issued hundreds of years before discovery of microscopic animals by Pasteur, and this is a clear scientific miracle.
