Aulia visitation
Imam Ahmed (rah) was
asked about it and he (considered Talqeen) to be recommended by taking the
practise of (vast majority of Muslims) as Hujjah (i.e. Proof). In Muj’am al
Kabir at Tabrani there is a Hadith regarding this from Abu Amama in which it
states that Prophet (ﷺ) told to call out
the deceased with his and his mother’s name while adding dust in his grave by
standing on his head’s side because he hears us whereas we cannot hear him,
then upon calling him the second time, he sits straight, and upon third time
he will respond which you would not hear. You should then say: May Allah
have mercy upon you, take benefit from our address, then remind him of the
Tawhid and Risalah upon which he passed away i.e. to keep La Ilaha Il Allah
Muhammad ur Rasul Ullah in his mind and also that he was satisfied with the
Deen of Allah, Islam, Nabuwah of Muhammad (ﷺ) and guidance of Quran..Hearing this (Talqeen) the Munkir and Nakeer
move aside and say to themselves that they should return as there is no need to
stand near this person because he has been reminded of (all necessary)
things and Allah and his Apostle (saw) are enough as proof over him.
Said ibn Musayyab said, “The adhan and iqama were heard being recited
in the al-Hujrat an-Nabawiyya when the adhan could not be called and salat
could not be performed in Masjid an-Nabi,” on the day when the men of
Yazid tortured the people of al-Madinat al-munawwara -the ‘Harra’ event
that took place in 61 A.H. Ibn Taymiyya [d. 728 A.H. (1328)], too, quoted this
in his book Iqtida’ as-sirati ‘l-mustaqim.
Ibn al-Qayyim
al-Jawziyya quoted, in his book Kitab ar-ruh and on the authority of Ibn Abi
‘d-dunya, Sadaqat ibn Sulaiman al-Jafari as saying, “I was a man of bad
habits. I repented of them after my father’s death. I gave up my impetuosity.
Once I committed a fault. Thereupon, I dreamt of my father saying, ‘Oh my
son! I have been feeling comfortable in my grave with your beautiful deeds.
What you do is shown to us. Your deeds have been like those of the sulaha’. But
I felt very sad and ashamed of what you did recently. Do not make me feel
ashamed among the dead nearby.”
Ibn taimiyya was asked if the dead are aware of the living who visit them. Ibn
taimiyya replied : “There is no doubt that they are aware of the living that
visit them.” And Ibn Taymiyyah quoted the following Hadith in his support:
“The proof of dead awareness comes from two Sahih Books of Bukhari and Muslim
in which Rasool Allah(alayhi salaat wa salaam) said that when people have
buried a dead person and leave for home, the dead can hear the thumps of
sandaled feet of those who leave.”(Majma al-Fatawa by Ibn Taymiyyah, vol.
24, page 362 )
Imam Ibn Jawzi(RehmatuAllah aliye)—Ma`ruf al-Karkhi (d. 200H): “His
grave can be seen in Baghdad, and one seeks blessings with it. al-Hafiz Ibrahim
al-Harbi (d. 285H) — Imam Ahmad’s companion — used to say: Ma`ruf’s grave
is proven medicine”(2:214) Ibn al-Jawzi adds: “We ourselves go to
Ibrahim al-Harbi’s grave and seek blessings with it” (2:410)
al-hafiz al-Dhahabi also relates Ibrahim al-Harbi’s saying about Ma`ruf
al-Karkhi: “Ma`ruf’s grave is proven medicine.” Siyar a`lam
al-nubala’ (9:343).Ibn al-Jawzi writes in Muthir Al-Gharam Al-Sakin Ila Ashraf
Al-Amakin:
Imam Ghazzali (rah) said that whenever anyone is in some difficulty then he
should ask the people of tombs for help, who are of (sacred) souls but have
passed away (i.e. transferred into another dimension). There is no doubt in it
that any person visiting (their tombs) gets spiritual help plus benefit from
them and many times when their Waseela is presented in the court of Allah, the
difficulties are removed [Tafsir Ruh ul Ma’ani, Volume 30, Page No. 24]
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)
