Sugar Cane & Diabetes!

One of the respected elders narrates: "For so long, I was suffering from diabetes and sometimes weakness would take me over". I went to the shrine of Imam Ali ibn Musa Reza (as) and did tawassul for my disease. One of the servants of the shrine guided me to Sheikh Hassan Ali Nakhodaki (ra).

I complained about my disease. Sheikh Hassan Ali Nakhodaki (ra) gave me a piece of sugar cane and said "most diseases go away with forgetfulness". I ate the sugar cane and within three days, I completely forgot if I had diabetes. I went back to Sheikh and expressed my condition, Sheikh said never to disclose this to anyone. Unfortunately, I disclosed the secret to some people after 10 years, and all of sudden my condition of diabetes re-emerged.
