Asking help-imams
Mullah ‘Ali Qari writes that our Beloved Prophet Muhammad, , said that: If you are in the jungle alone say, “O servants of Allah! Help me.” The servants of Allah are the angels, Muslims, jinn, or ‘abdal. This hadith is useful for travellers. [Al Hirzu al-Thamin, page 378, by Mullah ‘Ali Qari]

The Prophet Sulaiman(as) asked his companions who could bring the throne of the Queen of Sheba to his court. He who had knowledge of the Book said,’I will bring it to you  before your glance returns to you.’ 27/39 Hafidh Ibn Kathir writes concerning this verse that the man who brought the throne was called Asif bin Barkhiyah. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

There was a companion named Salamah bin Akwa, (ra), who was injured so severely on his shin that people began to fear that he would die a matyr. Salamah, (ra), states: “I went to the Messenger of Allah,
, and told him about my wound, whereupon he proceeded to blow on it three times and I was cured instantly.” [Mishkat, chapter on Virtues of Sayyid al-Mursalin]

Ibn Kathir writes:”During the khilafah of ‘Umar, (ra), there appeared a fire in the desert. ‘Umar, (ra), asked Tamim al-Dari, (ra), to assist him. They approached the area of the fire and Tamim al-Dari, (ra), began to gather the fire with his hands and started shoving the fire into a hole in the ground. This was a karamah of Tamim al-Dari, (ra).” [Tarikh Ibn Kathir, Vol. 6, chapter on Miracles, and Sirat un-Nabi, Ibn Kathir, chapter on Mu’jizat]

Elsewhere, Ibn Kathir writes: During the khilafah of ‘Umar, (ra), the governor of Egypt wrote to ‘Umar, (ra), asking for help as the river Nile had failed to flood. ‘Umar, (ra), wrote a letter in return and addressed the river itself. This was then placed in the Nile, and no sooner as this was done, the Nile’s water began to flood. [Tarikh Ibn Kathir, volumes 1 and 8, chapter on Rivers and chapter on Khilafah of ‘Umar, (ra).]

Muhammad bin ‘Abd al-Wahhab writes : When Ibrahim(as), was thrown into the fire, Jibreel peace be upon him, offered his help to free him. If seeking help from other than Allah is shirk, then why did Jibril offer his assistance to Ibrahim? The answer is that the help which was being offered, was within his capability given by Allah, most High, and therefore not shirk. [Kitab Kasfh al Shubhat, page 23]
