A Wali by the name of Sayyid Shah Muhammad Waris Rasool Numa (alaihimur
Rahma) in India had the name "Muhammad"
naturally in green colour on the palm of his right hand and scent of 'Ittar used
to come from his body. From a young age he used
to see the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in his dream and also helped
others to see. He was thus known as "Rasool
Numa".
In 555 A.H. (1160), a great Saint known as Sheikh Ahmed Rifaa'i
Awliyah-e-Kabeera (radi Allahu anhu) went to the
Roza-e-Anwar of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and said: "As Salaamu
alaika ya Jaddi", and the reply was,
"Wa alaikas Salaam Ya Waladi". Sheikh Ahmed Rifaa'i then made Du'a and the
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
extended his blessed hand from the grave and made Musaafa with him. He then
kissed the hand of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) and the blessed hand went back into the Roza-e-Anwar. Almost 99
000 people saw and heard of this,
amongst whom was Sheikh Abdul Qaadir Jilani (radi Allahu anhu).
In Larkana, Pakistan, two villagers were arguing about the status of the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) as also
being Haazir and Naazir, i.e. the Messenger of Allah being omnipresent and
omniscient, as well as the Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) having total authority. Haroon, belonging to the
Wahabi/Deobandi Sect, rejected this. To prove who is
correct, both decided to jump into a burning fire to demonstrate that the one
who is unharmed is true in what he says.
Thus, Mohammed Panah, a staunch Sunni Bareilwi, and the other person, Haroon,
both jumped into the fire. Mohammed
Panah did so whilst engaging himself in the recitation of Durood Shareef and
Salaat-o-Salaam and came out untouched, whilst
the other was severely burnt and had to be admitted to hospital with multiple
degree burns. Thousands of astonished people are
witnesses to this event. This incident happened on Wednesday, the 11th of
February 1998. (Daily Jura'at, Issue No. 96, 13
February 1998)
How did A'la Hazrat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Bareilwi (radi Allahu anhu)
become a Hafiz-ul-Quran? It has been stated
that in the time period from Wudhu till the time of Jamaat, Hadrat Allamah
Sadrush Shariat (radi Allahu anhu) would recite
one Sipara. Sayyiduna A'la Hadrat (radi Allahu anhu) would listen to it and,
thereafter, recite the same Sipara in the
Taraweeh Salaah. He continued this routine for 30 days, and by the end of the
month of Ramadaan, A'la Hadrat (radi allahu
anhu) became a complete Hafiz of the Holy Quran!
