HomeArticlesThe Miracles in the Holy Shrine of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)
November 16, 2010 admin Articles, Beliefs, Imam Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.), Imamat 0
Numerous miracles have occurred near the holy grave in the sacred mausoleum of Ameerul Momineen Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.). Although enlisting all of them is a gigantic task, nevertheless we have attempted to bring a few of them over here for the benefit of readers.
(1) His (a.s.) miracle concerning Kamaaluddin Qummi:
It is narrated from Kamaaluddin Ibn Ghiyas Qummi in Irshadul Qulub:
I entered the Mausoleum of my Master (a.s.). I stood up after my prayer, ziyarat and entreaty. A nail of the shrine twisted in my coat and ripped it. Instantly, I spoke "I would want the recompense from you, My Master and none else."
A man of a non-Shia dispensation, standing near me remarked jokingly, "You will surely get a coat and cloak."
I travelled to Hilla, a small town in Iraq (with a predominantly Shia population) after the visitation. Kamaaluddin Ibn Qashm Nasiri had arranged for a cloak and coat to be taken to Baghdad. His servant approached me and said: The presence of Kamaaluddin Qummi is requested. He caught my hand, guided me to a room and covered (presented) me with the new cloak and coat. I came out of the room and moved towards Ibn Qashm, saluted him and began to pay him respect, when he looked towards me with disdain. Turning to his servant, he spoke: I had solicited for such and such person. The servant entreated, master I have brought the person you had called for, you can confirm this in the gathering present and he is the same Kamaaluddin Qummi. I interjected; O chief! It is not you who presented me this dress; rather, it is Ameerul Momineen (a.s.).
I narrated the entire incident on his request. On hearing it, he fell in prostration and said: All appreciation is for Allah, who has bestowed this honour through me.[1]
(2) The blind one of Tikrit:
Narrated from Shaikh Husain Ibn Abdul Karim Gharavi:
A blind man entered the holy shrine of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.), due to extreme age, his eyeballs had loosened in their sockets. After frequent supplications and numerous entreaties, he stood before the mausoleum and spoke in a not-too-polite-manner with Ameerul Momineen (a.s.). Many a times, I thought of reprimanding him for such a manner of speech, but changed my mind at the last moment. This continued for some time. One day, I heard a lot of commotion outside the shrine. I thought either some wheat had arrived from Baghdad or maybe somebody had been murdered. I came out to investigate and was told that the eyesight of a blind man had been restored. I thought to myself: I wish it's the same blind old man. I moved forward to the courtyard of the shrine and found that it was indeed the same man. I thanked God.
My revered father has added a sentence to this incident. He says: When the blind man spoke to Imam (a.s.), he spoke in a manner as if someone was actually sitting before him. One of his harsh statements was thus: I come and go from your presence while those who are not among your friends get cured.[2]
(3) A Christian
Ali Ibn Yahya Ibn Husain Tahhal Miqdadi has narrated from his father who has recounted from his father: A man of handsome countenance and beautiful attire came to me and said after presenting two Dinars, 'Take them and allow me inside the shrine, locking it up that I may occupy myself in prayer without interruption.' I took the money, accepted the request and went off to bed after locking him up. I saw Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) in my dream. Imam (a.s.) ordered:
Get up and remove him from my mausoleum. He is a Christian.
Ali Ibn Tahhal woke up. He tied the neck of the man in a rope and reprimanded: Get up and go. You are a Christian. Trying to cheat with the two dinars, are you?
He refuted: I am not a Christian.
I said: No, you are a Christian. For, Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) has come to me in a dream and has instructed that you are Christian and to be removed from here.
He replied: Give me your hand. I bear witness Allah is One, there is no God except Allah, Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) is His Messenger and Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) is the caliph of Allah. By the Almighty, nobody knew me when I left Syria and nobody is familiar with me in Iraq.
He spent the rest of his life as a model Muslim.[3]
(4) A Century of Service in the sacred shrine of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)
It happened in 501 A.H. when inflation was at its peak in the holy city of Najaf. Even bread was beyond the reach of the common man. Forty days passed by. People had starting moving for the villages due to scarcity and poverty. The only (poor) person remaining was the caretaker of the sacred shrine of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.), Abul Baqaa Sawiqah who was aged a hundred and ten years and was weak of body. However, despite all the calamities, he was not ready to the leave the proximity of the shrine of Imam (a.s.). Nevertheless, his wife and daughters implored: the severity of destitution has become unbearable. You should travel to seek your fortune like the others. A solution might unravel itself to solve the tribulation. Abu Qasim decided to go. He came to the sacred shrine, completed his prayers and ziyarat and then came towards the head of the shrine and pleaded forgiveness: My Master! I have been serving you for a century and have never parted from you. But, destitution and poverty has made life difficult for me and my family. Even so, parting from you is hard. Nevertheless, with a heavy heart, I have come to bid goodbye and depart from this place.
Saying this, he left. Abul Baqaa had started the journey in a rented carriage with other passengers. Najaf was now in the distance. They stopped at a place for rest. Abul Baqaa too lied down to rest and immediately fell asleep. Imam Ali (a.s.) visited him in his dream and said:
'O Abul Baqaa, are you leaving me after such a long duration of service?'
Abul Baqaa got up crying. The people with him became concerned. 'Why are you weeping so bitterly?' they asked. He explained the dream to them and immediately returned to Najaf. The daughters complained on seeing him return but he explained the situation to them; went to Abu Abdillah Ibn Shahryaar Qummi for the keys to the mausoleum and resumed his duties.
Abul Baqaa narrates, 'Three days after this episode, a person entered the shrine carrying a heavy load on his back, akin to the one who travels to Makkah for pilgrimage. He extracted a dress from it, wore it and entered the sacred shrine. After the customary ziyarat and prayer, he gave me some money and instructed, 'Bring some food.' Abul Baqaa did as requested and brought some bread, milk and dates. He again asked for some chicken and bread which I brought for him.
Abul Baqaa then prayed his afternoon prayers and departed for his home. The traveller came along with him, and everyone shared the food. After the meal and the washing of hands, the man instructed Abul Baqaa, 'Bring some scales to weigh gold.'
Abul Baqaa, brought the scales along with big and small weights from a gold smith named Zaid Ibn Waqisah, including the weights required for grains. The visitor bunched all the weights into one end of the scale and piled the other end with gold from a bag. The deed done, he gathered the gold and gave it to the caretaker of the shrine. What remained went back to the sack. Now he changed back to the old dress. The caretaker enquired; O Master! What do I do with this? He replied, 'It is yours to keep. It has been given by the person who has called you back into his service. I was commanded to give according to the measure of weights that he brings. If you had brought more weights, I would have given more.'
Abul Baqaa fainted. The visitor had gone. The situation of Abul Baqaa changed. He married his daughters and the household prospered. And due to the miracle and the mercy of our Master (a.s.), the troubles of Abul Baqaa had been solved.

The tragedy of lost films (and what you can do)
This is kind of last minute, but I very quickly want to give as much support and gratitude as I can to the wonderful folks who are currently running the "For the Love of Film" blogathon, the Self-Styled Siren and Marilyn of Ferdy on Films. The blogathon is nearly over, and I've sadly been kept from posting anything by the stresses of 7th week, but I can't overemphasize how noble and important of a project this is. The purpose of "For the Love of Film" is to raise money for the National Film Preservation Foundation, whose raison d'etre is pretty much right there in its name. (I've dreamed of volunteering for the NFPF for years, but Minneapolis isn't exactly a Mecca of film preservation.)
Imagine that you're Burgess Meredith in the Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last." You're the last person on earth, and you've got all of mankind's collected work at your fingertips. Let's say your glasses didn't break. But what if the library started on fire? Would you do whatever it took to get a fire extinguisher or a hose, anything, to quench the flames? OK, this may be a strained analogy, but my point is that film preservation is essential to preserving our collective identity.
Film is such a young art, but already it's produced so many sublime and beautiful masterpieces, works which literally improve us as human beings and the world we live in. Yet tragically, this hasn't always been acknowledged: during the days of the Hollywood studio system, for example, before the public even knew of such a thing as "art cinema," filmmaking was regarded first and foremost as an industry. This is how Thomas Edison treated it, and this is how it was viewed by the men who controlled it over the following decades. At that historical moment, despite the fact that Hollywood was exporting countless great works of art, film just hadn't acquired the necessary approval from the broader artistic and intellectual communities.
Granted, I'm oversimplifying a little, but I'm trying to hastily spell out some of the reasons why film preservation is so very fundamental. Because it was this dominant attitude toward film as nothing but a transient form of entertainment that helped lead to the ongoing crisis we face as cinephiles. Our cultural heritage is literally decomposing. Imagine (yes, more hypotheticals) if you learned that a vault somewhere in Vienna contained thousands of pages of sheet music, with a few lost Mozart symphonies in there somewhere, and the paper was slowly rotting away, so that much of the music was already unreadable. Would you be a little concerned? I can't overstate the gravity of this situation.
Already, so much – far too much – has been lost. If you want to make me cry, force me to peruse a list of lost films; it's like gazing over a memorial to lost lives, experiences, sacrifices. Just think about Theda Bara, the beguiling, vampy sex symbol of early silent cinema. Her very image is intriguing, she's one of the first true movie stars, but out of her whole prolific career, only four feature films remain; barring an archival miracle, no one will ever see her legendary Cleopatra in its entirety. I want to see Cleopatra. I can't, because it hasn't been preserved. Donating to the NFPF at least ensures that future generations will be able to enjoy the films of other silent starlets.
I'll mention a few other tragic losses, cautionary tales about the fragility of film: consider Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1924), an expansive masterpiece of intense psychological realism. Of course, we'll never see the whole thing, because some janitor decided to throw away a huge amount of its running time. This is just a sample of how one person's brief carelessness can harm all of humanity; the NFPF works to overcome the effects of individual carelessness. (Luckily, janitors have redeemed themselves, since legend says that one recovered Dreyer's Passion of Joan of Arc in a Norwegian insane asylum.)
Another classic example of negligence depriving us of great filmmaking is Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons. A failure when first released, RKO's apathy toward it eventually led to about an hour of footage being irretrievably lost. As it is, Ambersons feels so potent, so full of the same layered storytelling that defined Citizen Kane, with great performances from Joseph Cotten, Tim Holt, and Agnes Moorhead – what could that extra hour have added? How would it have changed our perception of Welles' talent?
(It's worth noting that a couple months ago, I had a conversation with my advisor, a Cinema and Media Studies professor, in which he happened to mention, "I was in Madison recently and ran into David Bordwell, and we happened to talk about The Magnificent Ambersons…" to my quiet awe.)
It's so frustrating; it's as if James Joyce had, in his fit of rage, thrown the manuscript of Ulysses into the fireplace, and then Nora hadn't rushed to salvage it. Except in this case, it's all thanks to the studio's short-sightedness and penny-pinching. This also counts as a great lesson for anyone in any period of history: don't pretend to know what will or will not end up being historically important. Rash actions, based on hubris like that, has lost us so many would-be classics, ones t hat never lived to see the light of the present day.
I can't talk about lost films without touching on the holy grail, perhaps the most desired and most sorely missed film out there, and one to which I feel a personal connection: Tod Browning's London After Midnight (1927). How many times as a child was I entranced by photos of Lon Chaney, Sr. as the Man in the Beaver Hat; how many times did I contort my face in an attempt to mimic his? Sure, as with Greed, there's a reconstruction by Rick Schmidlin (whose work I admire), but it's just not the same. The reconstruction gives an outline of what London After Midnight may have been like. But I can never experience firsthand chills from seeing Chaney's pseudo-vampire in motion, the essence of cinema (La Jetée notwithstanding).
We're fighting a war. It's a war against time, fire, mold, decay, and apathy. It's a war against lack of funds and space. Think of these lost films as a few of the higher-profile casualties over the years, though rest assured, there are thousands and thousands more. If you want to learn more about some of the success stories of film preservation, and the endless tally of losses, look around at the lists on the Self-Styled Siren and Ferdy on Film. You can find out all about the technical reasons that films decay (an area where I'm pretty lost myself), as well as great film preservationists, porn preservation, and so much more. These collected posts are an amazing accomplishment, providing glances into areas of film history that are usually off limits to all but the most dedicated researchers. To everyone involved: thank you!
(Also, DONATE to the NFPF!)

Zalpuwa era un regne i una ciutat de la que es té constància des del segle XVII aC, que inicialment es creia situada vora el Llac de la Sal (Llac Tuz), i després, per un text trobat, es va situar més al nord, a la vora de la mar Negra.

D'aquest regne n'era sobirà després del 1800 aC Uhna, al que va succeir el seu fill Huzziyas o Khuzziya. Uhna va envair Nesa, i els habitants de Zalpuwa es van emportar el déu Sius, patró d'aquella cuitat. Quan regnava Huzziyas, Anitta, rei de Kussara, va ocupar la ciutat, va recuperar Sius i el va tornar a Nesa. Poc després Zalpuwa es va incorporar a l'Imperi hitita.

Probablement cal relacionar Zalpuwa amb la ciutat de Zalpa. Els kashka van ocupar i saquejar la ciutat de Zalpuwa en temps del rei Arnuwandas I.

Friends year by year more inly known.
All were foreign in their light.
And with snake and seraph talked.
And love without a name.
Weave roses for your mate.
The potent plain of D�mons spreads.
Is the D�mon's form and face.
And dips sometimes as low as to her eyes.
Leave no track on the heavenly snow.
And our shrinking sky extend.
Of the Genii be averted!
Draws men to their likeness still.
Of joyful and transparent mien.
Equals remote, and seeming opposites.
Love laughs, and on a lion rides.
His nectar smacks of wine.
In like sort his love doth fall.
Minions of the Morning Star.
Pitiless, will not be stayed.
And the dogs of Fate unties.
And the parent of remorse.

AOC is strongly vocalizing the fears she and her colleagues in Congress had -- that the insurrectionists came with deadly intentions. She told ABC on Sunday ... "We came close to half of the House nearly dying on Wednesday."

As a X2 switch, they are connected in series acting as a form or double reclocking or daisy chaining.
There is a diagram i came accross on Sotms site on using 2 swiches connected via fibre which is recommended for improved sonic results.
Hard to believe that reclocking is the main benefit. My renderer already has 10psec of jitter with no audiophile switch.
I plan to add it after the router. I already have one non-audiophile switch on the router.
We will see this afternoon.
A highly properly modded switch i find, may be comparable to a base Sotm switch, but once a 10m reference comes into the picture with your favouritebaudiophile clock cable, it then leaves any modded switch in the dust.
I'll make sure to have the internal clock upgrade. Have you tried this?
I have not come across anyone doing so, it takes real estate to incorporate and akin to a heart transplant type surgery on the router, possibly you would be the first to be able to perform such on your router?
I don't believe I have the motivation to do this. Kamal wants some of my products, so I will probably horse-trade with him. I also make pretty good stuff he may sell on his website.
When people are confused why I'm skeptical about streaming and don't have the foggiest what to do, and what all these boxes do...I point them to threads like this and say I don't even know the things that I don't know about computer audio.
Donald Rumsfeld's known unknowns and unknown unknowns come to mind.
Why can't we just plug an ethernet cable from the router out of the wall into ONE black box server and a USB cable into a dac? Why does it have to be as difficult as this thread?
Or am I as usual missing something obvious?
It can be as simple as you just described. I've set up plenty of systems that way.
By the same token, I don't "get" your fetish with footers. But that doesn't make me go on forums complaining "why do we need third-party footers with $XYZ products"? The short answer is: we don't. Same as you don't need the fancy switch with clock input. But if you want to venture, the option is there.
says the guy that spent $400 on a TT level.
Not me Keith. Get yr facts right.
After Kamal and I did some critical listening with the SOtM switch (with internal clock upgrade) after my modded router I have decided to keep the SOtM switch. A definite improvement. I experimented with my EMO isolator and short WW Platinum Ethernet cable and found an improvement if I used short cable to isolator to longer Platinum cable, all between the router and the SOtM switch. I use only the SOtM Ethernet cable with filter to my Ethernet DAC. This sounded best.
I suspect that if the OP used a short cable to EMO EN-70e isolator to a longer cable between the two switches he is using, this might improve things even more.
It's still not quite as good as my USB when using Amarra as the playback app, but it's much closer if I use Linn Kinsky/Minimserver/BubbleUPnP combo on my Mac Mini. My version of Amarra is an older one, not the latest because I like it better.
Next step is to mod the clock inside the SOtM switch to see if that improves things more. I suspect that the differences now may be between Kinsky/minimserver/BubbleUPnP and Amarra.
We can. It's very doable. A reasonable streamer, a modest DAC and Roon is a huge and doable step towards enjoyable, unlimited music exploration. Once it grabs you, you may not surface again for a few months.
I have a cisco 2960cx and 3560cg switch if you would like to try them to compare with the SOTM.
They would not be very common in home networks as they are usually purchased by companies.
They are very well built switches, so the test might be interesting.
Sorry, I was assuming that you had the SOTM switches and was looking for a cisco switches to compare.
Sure Kingsrule, but I'm not likely to be the only one.
[QUOTE="spiritofmusic, post: 566528, member: 4334"
There are many one box plug and play solutions. The Room Nucleus is a good starter, plug and play. It boots up in 15 seconds as well! Ethernet cable in, USB out. Account at Room, Tidal or Qobuz. LPS if you want. Job done. Total 2K.
Small footprint, support from the big boys Room. What is not to like?
I ripped all my CDs 3 years ago. I do still buy CDs if I can't find the download. Interestingly CD is 16 bit 44.1, and many files on Qobuz are 24 bit, which in my system sounds better, no question. Tidal seems to have gone for MQA / 96K 16 bit files for some of there music. I think Qobuz as as good, possibly better on 24 bit 44.1 to my ears.
Short answer, get a turnkey router, and then the only task it to select some music!
I also create play lists, so have a selection of tracks into my own mix albums, Roon lets you do that really easily. And of course the Room interface is superb IMO. It displays detailed information on the album, many with the lyrics. And you also have the nice link feature, you can dig around for other material that that artist may have done with other artists, so a bit like looking round the biggest record store you can imagine, while you listen to your music, while sat in your favourite chair. Again, what is not to like?
Tried that. The modded, Grounded DC-common Router sounded a LOT better, particularly powered from a fast LPS.
Then I tried the SOtM switch connected to the modded router. Even better, more live sounding. More blackness between instruments, better imaging.
Then I tried SOtM Ethernet cable with filter. Even better.
If you are not using a SOtM tx-USBUltra (with internal clock upgrade and LPS) in your USB cable, you are missing out on a lot. Makes an even bigger difference than all of the Ethernet stuff. This is the thing that makes USB top-tier, even direct from a computer.
I don't understand the reasoning behind using something like the SOtM tx-USBUltra. What exactly does it do? Secondly, how does this differ from some of the more popular ethernet filters such as EMO systems EN-70 HD, which has been highly recommended?
I don't understand the reasoning behind using something like the SOtM tx-USBUltra. What exactly does it do?
It reclocks the USB signal to reduce jitter.
Secondly, how does this differ from some of the more popular ethernet filters such as EMO systems EN-70 HD, which has been highly recommended?
Totally different thing. The EMO isolators (not filters) reduce capacitively coupled noise on Ethernet.
The USBUtra reduces jitter on USB cables.
BTW, I have tried the EMO EN-70hd and I liked the EN-70e a LOT better.
This is all fascinating. But is there a real world prices switch / router that beats the standard Cisco stuff, and is build for audio? I have 200 meg optical into my house, and the entry box has ethernet ports out, so thinking I could fit an audio switch before the house wifi / ethernet router. And power it off a nice LPS, then ethernet to my music server.
Any recommendations? I am looking at 2K max for this box.

Двое Фоскари () — опера Джузеппе Верди в трёх действиях, на итальянское либретто Франческо Мария Пьяве, основанное на исторической пьесе Джорджа Байрона.

Верди обратил внимание на пьесу Байрона в начале 1843 года, но когда он предложил этот сюжет театру Ла Фениче в Венеции, пьесу отвергли за несоответствующее политическое содержание. Сюжет пьесы содержит критику Венецианской республики, что было совершенно неприемлемым для именитых семей Венеции, управлявших республикой, в том числе и для самой семьи Фоскари. В то же самое время театр Арджентина в Риме отказался от предложенной Верди оперы на сюжет Лоренцино Медичи. Взамен композитор предложил театру оперу «Двое Фоскари», которая и была впервые представлена зрителю 3 ноября 1844 года.

История постановок

XIX век
С момента первого представления к 1860 году опера выдержала по меньшей мере 22 постановки в разных городах Италии, включая Флоренцию, Болонью, Кремону, Милан, Неаполь и Модену. В 1946 году оперу увидели в Лиссабоне, а в 1950 и 1951 годах — в Палермо и Турине.

Первое представление оперы в Великобритании состоялось в Театре Её Величества в Лондоне 10 апреля 1847 года. В США опера впервые показана в Бостоне 10 мая 1847 года. Париж увидел постановку в декабре 1846 года в Театре итальянской комедии

XX век и наше время
В наши дни «Двое Фоскари» периодически ставится на оперных сценах. В 1988 году оперу показал театр «Ла Скала» с Ренато Брузоном (эта постановка издана на DVD). В неаполитанском театре Сан-Карло оперу ставили в 2000 году, и она также записана на DVD. Лондонская Королевская опера показала оперу в июне 1995 года, с Владимиром Черновым и  в главных партиях.  во Флориде в марте 2008 года включила оперу в свой «Вердиевский цикл». В сезоне 2008/2009 годов оперу показывали Ла Скала и Ассоциация любителей оперы Бильбао в Испании.

Обычным явлением стали концертные исполнения оперы.  показывал оперу трижды: в октябре 1981 года с Ренато Брузоном в главной партии, в апреле 1992 года с Владимиром Черновым в партии Дожа, и в декабре 2007 года с Паоло Гаванелли в этой партии.

 представила новую постановку «Двое Фоскари» в сентябре 2012 года. В первом представлении этой постановки баритональную партию Франческо Фоскари исполнил генеральный директор этой компании Пласидо Доминго, дирижировал музыкальный руководитель компании . В составе исполнителей были тенор  в партии Якопо Фоскари и сопрано Марина Поплавская в партии Лукреции. Для режиссёра  эта работа стала дебютом в Опере Лос-Анджелес.

В международной базе данных  на период 2011—2014 годы представлены двенадцать постановок оперы (три из них — концертные) в двенадцати городах.

Действующие лица

Краткое содержание
Действие происходит в Венеции в 1457 году.

I действие
Идет политическая борьба, итогом которой становится арест молодого сына венецианского дожа Франческо Фоскари — Якопо, обвиненного Советом Десяти в измене родине. Зал дворца дожей. Сенаторы восхваляют могущество Совета Десяти, высшего карательного органа республики. Входит Якопо. Он славит родную Венецию и проклинает жестокость сенаторов. Перед тем как начнется суд, сенаторы советуют Якопо во всем признаться.

Дворец Фоскари. Жена Якопо Лукреция возмущена несправедливостью решений Совета и собирается искать защиты у старого дожа. Подруги отговаривают её, ведь по законам Венеции даже дож не может влиять на решение совета. Лукреция возносит свои молитвы к небу. Вошедшая подруга Лукреции Пизана сообщает ей, что сенаторы приговорили невиновного Якопо, уже находившегося ранее в ссылке, к новому изгнанию. Женщина возмущена этим оскорблением и решает обратиться за помощью к тестю.

Зал суда. Основные политические противники Фоскари — член Совета Десяти Лоредано и сенатор Барбариго — беседуют между собой. Одной из важных улик против юноши считают его письмо миланскому герцогу Сфорца, чье могущество, как полагает суд, Якопо хотел использовать против Венеции в своих интересах. Сенаторы славят справедливость венецианского правосудия.

Покои Дожа. Несчастный отец страдает от несправедливого приговора, но ничем не может помочь своему сыну, попавшему в беду. Появляется Лукреция. Женщина в отчаянии обрушивает свой гнев на Совет Десяти. Старый дож просит уважать высшую судебную власть. Лукреция обвиняет тестя в жестокости, ведь тот хорошо знает, кто осудил его сына. Знает старый дож и то, что письмо Якопо, написанное им в изгнании, не содержало ничего крамольного. Оно было продиктовано одним желанием — снова увидеть родную Венецию. Однако в соответствии с законом текст письма считается преступным, и Франческо не в силах спасти сына; он не может повлиять на решение суда. Появившиеся на глазах старика слезы оставляют Лукреции надежду на то, что дож поддержит её, если это будет возможно.

II действие
Якопо один. Его мучают тяжёлые предчувствия, ожидание скорой смерти. Юноше приснился сон, ему мерещится палач. Несчастный с трудом узнает Лукрецию, пришедшую в подземелье. Женщина пытается ободрить отчаявшегося супруга, обещая, что последует за ним в изгнание. Доносится безмятежная песня гондольеров. Фоскари не хочет покидать родную Венецию. Муж и жена надеются, что судьба воздаст сполна их обидчикам. Появляется старый дож. Якопо счастлив, хоть недолго он может побыть с близкими людьми. Франческо с болью в сердце признается, что ничем не может помочь сыну. Вошедший Лоредано передаёт волю Совета Десяти, которую сейчас объявит Якопо суд: он должен отплыть на Крит, без предоставления права возвращения на родину. Оба Фоскари и Лукреция в отчаянии. Лоредано издевается над Франческо, который по венецианским законам не может вмешаться в решение суда.

Зал Совета Десяти. Сенаторы вновь восхваляют могущество и справедливость венецианского суда. Франческо пытается заступиться за сына, но тщетно. Вошедший Якопо полностью беззащитен. Ему объявлен приговор. Появляется Лукреция с детьми. С грустью смотрит молодой Фоскари на малышей, он должен в кратчайший срок покинуть Венецию и следовать на Крит.

III действие
Лоредано и Барбариго наблюдают за тем, как веселится народ на соревновании гондольеров. Лоредано отмечает, что людям все равно — будет ли дожем Фоскари или ставленник их партии, Малипьеро. Он призывает собравшихся на площади людей веселей и активней участвовать в празднике.

Якопо следует в сопровождении начальника полиции. Юноша хочет умереть, ведь изгнание — медленная смерть. Лукреция просит его подумать о детях, о ней, об отце. Якопо надеется, что дети узнают о несправедливости и поверят в его невиновность. Пусть они прославят фамилии Кантарини и Фоскари. Муж и жена прощаются, Фоскари следует в сторону галеры. Лоредано торжествует: осуществление мести, которого он ждал столько лет, произошло. Ведь советник уверен, что Якопо повинен в смерти его родственника Донато.

Покои Дожа, старый Фоскари безутешен. Ему уже пришлось пережить смерть троих детей, и вот теперь судьба отбирает у него последнего сына. Отец глубоко страдает от собственного бессилия. Вбегает сенатор Барбариго. Он показывает Франческо письмо, в котором некий гражданин Эриццио, умирая, признался в убийстве Донато. Значит, на Якопо нет этой вины. Однако старик не успевает порадоваться. Лукреция со слезами сообщает, что Якопо упал замертво, отравленный врагами, в тот момент, когда вступал на борт галеры. Слуга дожа докладывает о прибытии Совета Десяти. Сенаторы просят Франческо добровольно сдать полномочия, ведь он стар, а его сын — преступник. Старый дож отказывается, тогда Лоредано срывает с него корону и мантию. Колокола собора Святого Марка возвещают об избрании нового дожа Малипьеро. Потрясённый Фоскари умирает с именем Якопо на устах. Лоредано достает блокнот и напротив фамилии Фоскари пишет: «Отплачено!»
