Awliya Allah

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ ) as saying: “When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased).” {Muslim}

In reference to the Abdaals, Imam At-Tabarani (Radi Allahu ta’ala Anhu) quotes a Hadith Shareef in which the Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ) declares, “There will always exist 40 persons on the Earth, each of whom is blessed like Hadrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). It rains because of their barakah. Allah appoints another when one of them dies.”

In another Hadith Shareef, Abu Naeem (Radi Allahu ta’ala Anhu) reports that the Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ) said, “There always exist 40 persons among my ummah. Their hearts are like that of Hadrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Allah Ta’aala redeems His human servants from disasters for their sake. They are called Abdaal. They do not attain to that degree by performing salaah, fasting, or giving zakaah.” Ibn Mas’ud (Radi Allahu ta’ala Anhu) asked, “Ya RasoolAllah (ﷺ ), by what means do they attain that degree?” “They attain it by being generous, and by advising muslims,” said the Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ). Do remember that although all the Awliya Allah are equal as far as Wilayah is concerned, they differ as far as status is concerned.

Imam Bukhari (rahmatullah alaihi) narrates that the Most Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ) said that Allah Ta’ala says, “My servant comes nearer to me by nafl worships upto this that I begin to love him and when I love him I become his ear by which he listens and I become his eyes by which he sees. (Saheeh al-Bukhari)

Imam Muslim in his Saheeh and other scholars in their books narrate that the Most Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ) says :”When Allah Almighty loves a person so, he calls Jabrail (alaihi as-salaam) and says that ” O Jabrail I love my so and so servant, and you also love him. Hence Jabrail (alaihis salaam) also loves him. Then Jabrail (alaihis salaam) announces in the skies that Allah Ta’ala loves his servant than all of the dwellers of skies love him. Then he is made beloved amongst the dwellers of the earth”.

Imam Abu Nuaim in Hilya and Imam Ibne Asakir narrate from Abdullah ibne Masood (Radi Allahu ta’ala anhu ) that the Most Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ) says ;”Undoubtedly there are 300 Awliya (friend) of Allah within his creature and there hearts are the heart of Adam (alaihis salaam) and the hearts of 40 are like the heart of Musa (alaihis salaam) and the hearts of the seven are like the heart of Ibraheem (alaihis salaam) and the heart of the five are like the heart of Jabrail (alaihis salaam) and the hearts of the three are like the heart of Mikail (alaihis salaam) and the heart of one is like the heart of Israfeel (alaihis salaam). When that one (whose heart is like the heart of Israfeel) dies the one amonge of three made his representative and when some one dies among these three the one among five is made his representative and when some one dies from five the one among the seven is made his representative and when some one dies from seven the one among the forty is made his representative and when some one dies from the forty the one among the three hundred is made his representative and when some one dies from the three hundred the one among the general creature is made his representative. These are the 356 Awliya due to them the life, death, raining and the growing of the plant is happened “.

Imam Bukhari (rahmatullah alaih) narrates from Anas (Radi Allahu ta’ala anhu) that Usaid ibne Hudair and Ibad ibne Bishr were talking with the Most Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ) about their works. This happened in a dark night then both of them came out from that place to turn. Each of them have a small stick in his hand.At once the stick of one among them brightened and both of them walked in that light.when they separated from each other because of the separation of the way the stick of other one also brightened. So each of them walked in the light of his own stick upto he reached his house. [Mishkat Shareef Page 544]

It has been narrated in ‘Sharhus Sunnah’ from Ibne Munkadir that the slave of the Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ), Hadrat Safina lost his companion in Rome or he was arrested. He escaped and was searching for his friends; at of a sudden he saw a lion in front of him, so he said, ” O Abul Harith (Lion) I am the slave of the Beloved Prophet (ﷺ ) and I have faced such and such problem. Listening to this the lion came near him and stood by him. Whenever the lion heard a voice he went to that place and stood, again and again, he just used to walk up to Hadrat Safina (Radi Allahu ta’ala anhu) until he reached his companion. [Mishkat Shareef Page 545]

Imam Baihaqi Radi Allah anhu narrates from Ibne Umar in ‘Dalailun Nabuwah’ that Hadrat Umar Radi Allah Ta’ala anhu sent a compaign and made a person their chief who was called Saria. When Umar Radi Allah Ta’ala anhu was delivering a lecture he suddenly cried with a loud voice ” O Saria keep the mountain. ‘ After few days a messenger came from campaign and said that ”O Ameer al-Mumineen we faced our enemy. They attacked us and compelled us to run away. All of a sudden we listened to a cry that kept saying that ”O Saria keep the mountain”. We touched our backs with the mountain, so Allah Almighty made them run away”. There are many other narrations which prove this karamat of Awliya, but it is enough for those who have some common sense. [Mishkat Shareef Page 546]
