Asking help-imams
Muhammad bin ‘Abd al-Wahhab writes:”One night, the Prophet of
Allah, ﷺ, was in his house and
was heard to proclaim ‘I am here!’
three times and ‘You have been granted help’ also three times. Umm
al-Mu’minin, Maymunah(ra), asked the Beloved Prophet, ﷺ, whom he had been
talking to since there was no one present. He, ﷺ, replied, ‘I was talking to a person called Rajiz from
the tribe of Bani Ka’ab. He asked for help from me against the Quraysh.’ Umm
al-Mu’minin, Maymunah (ra), said that when she finished reading the fajr prayer
the next morning, she heard Rajiz calling out the following in the streets of
Madina: “Ya Rasul Allah! Help us
and call the servants of Allah to help us.” [Mukhtasar Sirat ar-
Rasul, chapter on the Conquest of Makka]
Ibn Kathir writes: ‘Umar, (ra), whilst delivering a Friday sermon in Madinah
called out and said, ‘Ya Sariah! The
mountain.’ That very moment, Sariah, (ra), was in a place in Persia called
Nahawand, engaged in a battle with the enemy. What ‘Umar, (ra), meant by
his call was: O Sariah! Seek protection
behind the mountain. Sariah, (ra), heard this and was subsequently saved.
When the people heard these words during the Friday they were surprised. After winning the battle, Sariah came to
Madinah. He told about how they had been under attack by the enemy. Suddenly
they had heard ‘Umar’s voice and hid behind the mountain and were saved.
[Tarikh Ibn Kathir, chapter on the Khilafah of ‘Umar]
Bilal bin Harith asked the Prophet, ﷺ, for help during the famine in Madina during the khilafah of ‘Umar,
(ra). The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, gave water to ‘Uthman, (ra), from a window when he was being
surrounded by his enemies and, furthermore, even comforted him by giving the
news that he would be martyred and would be breaking his fast with him in
paradise the next day. The Prophet, ﷺ, gave advice to Imam Hussayn, (ra), regarding the battle of
Karbala -when he was departing for Kufa and then later, on the night before his
death. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, gave news that they would meet the next day in Paradise. [Tarikh
Ibn Kathir, chapter on Khilafa of ‘Umar; chapter on Death of ‘Uthman, and the
chapter on Karbala]
