TASARRUF AND IKHTIYAR(authority)

Tasarruf with the word “Kun” (be)

Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra) narrates that Hakam bin Abil ‘Aas would sit near Rasulullah ﷺand when Rasulullah ﷺtalked, he would imitate him in a mocking manner. Rasulullah ﷺsaid to him, “Become like this”. Hence, till the day he died, his face was disfigured. al-Khasa’is al-Kubra, vol.2, p.79

Imam Bayhaqi narrates from ibn ‘Umar (ra)ma that one day Rasulullah ﷺwas giving a khutba. A man was sitting behind Rasulullah ﷺand was mockingly imitating him. Rasulullah ﷺsaid to him, “Become like this”. The man then fainted and fell down. His relatives then carried him home and his health was the same until two months later when he finally recovered. After his recovery, his face was the same as when he used to mock Rasulullah ﷺ. al-Khasa’is al-Kubra, vol.2, p.79

Imam ‘Allama Sha’rani writes:“Rasulullah ﷺused the word “Kun” in the battle of Tabuk for two reasons: Firstly to show that it is allowed to do so and, secondly, to show that he had permission to perform miracles. Rasulullah ﷺsaid, “Become Abu Dhar”, so that person became Abu Dhar and he said to a branch from a date tree, “Become a sword”, so it became exactly that.” al-Yawaqit wa al-Jawahir, vol.1, p.147

‘Allama Sha’rani continues:Sayyidina Shaykh ‘Abdul Qadir RA says: “Takween will become yours and you will receive guidance that will be as apparent as the midday sun and this guidance will be from the Kalam of Allah which is more beautiful than anything. You will receive Ilham that will be free from any interference (talbis) and so pure that the whispers of Shaytan and the evil thoughts of the nafs will not affect it”.Allah has stated in some of his revelations: “Oh son of Adam! I am Allah, there is no other deity but Me. I say to something, “Be”, and it is. You must obey Me and if you do, I will grant you this power that you will say to something, “Be”, and it will follow your command. Allah has bestowed this authority on many of His Prophets and chosen people”. al-Yawaqit wa al-Jawahir, vol.1, p.147

‘Allama Sayyid Mahmud Alusi writes: Shaykh al-Akbar said:“Asif bin Barkhiya did tasarruf with the throne of Bilqis. He made it disappear from its location and appear before Sulaiman ‘alaihis salam and nobody realised this apart from Him who knows everything. The time that it disappeared [from Bilqis] was exactly the same time as it appeared [before Sulaiman]. Everything happened in one moment of time. In chronological terms, Asif only performed one action because the accomplished people gain a state where their speech is granted immediate action by the announcement of “Kun” by Allah”. Ruh al-Ma’ani, vol.19, p.185

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
