A story ofRav Amram ben Diwanהרב עמרם בן דיוואן בן אפרים

Many remarkable stories are told of the yeshuos of those who were zoche to daven at the kever of Rav Amram in Morocco. Each year on Lag BaOmer, thousands of Jews travel to Wazan to visit the tzion of the tzaddik. It is told that incurable illnesses have been healed there, the blind have regained their sight, the mute have found their voices, the paralyzed have walked home on their own, and childless women have been blessed with children after davening there.

It is told that a French military sergeant had a son who remained paralyzed after a serious illness. A Jewish friend advised him to bring the boy to the tomb of Rav Amram in Wazan. At first the sergeant was skeptical and refused. Then he promised that if a miracle happened and his son was healed, he would build a road at his own expense, to make the tzaddik's tomb easier to reach. The miracle happened. As soon as the boy came near the kever of Rav Amram, he was healed. The grateful father kept his promise and built the road that leads to the tomb.

Another story is told of a couple in Monsey, New York, who had no child for fifteen years. They were advised to go and daven at the kever of Rav Amram. After the husband finished all of Tehillim there, he heard the sound of a baby crying, though nobody else nearby heard it. Nine months later the couple had a child.
