Imam Ahmad Raza Khan (radiAllahu 'anhu) was walking
barefoot in Madinah Sharif when he
stepped on a thorn. He sat down due to
the pain, removed the thorn from his
foot and placed it into his pocket saying:
''O thorn of Madinah's desert
What are you doing at my feet?
Come here my beloved
Your abode is in my heart!''
Once Mawlana Jami radiAllahu'anhu
came to Arabia for Hajj, drenched in love
of Mustafa swallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
The governor of Makka met him,kissed
his hands and feet and made him sit on
his throne. Then the governor humbly said, Mawlana i cant let you go to
Madinah Shareef, please return to your
country Iran.
Mawlana was astonished, and asked the
governor why??
The governor replied, In dream i saw Rasulullah swallallahu 'alayhi wassallam
and he ordered me that dont let Jami
come to Madinah Shareef because if he
comes and make Salaam to my grave, he
is such a great lover of mine that i will
have to break the law of shari'at to come out of the grave to reply his Salaam , but
tell Jami to return to his country and give
him the good news that he will see me
in dream everyday until he departs from
this world.
Then Mawlana Jami radiAllahu'anhu returns to his country and everyday he
would meet Rasulullah swallallahu
'alayhi wa sallam in his dream
Imam Malik radiAllahu'anhu (founder of
Maliki Madhhab) never walked in Madina
Shareef wearing sandals, he would walk
bare-footed, and he never rode horse in
Madina Shareef, because this is the city of
his Master (swallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam)
In a Ghazwa (of battle), Rasulullah
swallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam ordered all
Sahabas to bring something to contribute
for this battle. A Sahabi had nothing, but
he didn't want to be left behind as well.
He brought his baby who was still little and milk-suckling, and presented it to
Rasulullah swallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
He asked why he brought this baby. The
Sahabi answered, i had nothing to
contribute for this battle, please accept
this baby, when arrows are shot at you put this baby in front so that you are not
hurt Ya Rasulallah
Once, Rasulullah swallallahu 'alayhi wa
sallam 's shirt's buttons at top were
opened because it was summer. A Sahabi
saw him and went away, after which
that Sahabi never saw him again. Then
whole life that Sahabi left his shirt's button open, whether summer or winter.
He says, i saw my Master only once and
his shirt was like this
There was a Sahabi who saw Rasulullah
swallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam only once
in his life. When he saw him, Rasulullah
swallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam was
covered in a black sheet. That Sahabi saw
him and went away after which he never saw him. Then, that Sahabi
covered himself with black sheet his
whole life, he says he saw his Master
only once and he was covered like this
Allama Iqbal rahmatullahi'alay says,
"Tu Ghani az do aalam man faqeer
[You are the Lord of both world I am a beggar]
Roz e Mehshar Uzre haey pazeer
[On Judgement Day, accept my faults and forgive me]
Gar tumeebini hisaabam na guzeer
[but if You must necessarily take my accounts]
Az Nigaahe Mustafa pinhan bageer
[do take my accounts hidden from the eyes of Mustafa-i dont want to be ashamed of my sins being taken out in front of him]
Thousands of people in India when heard this poem they cried so much that people feared that the people would die out of crying so much
