Imam Shafi (rahmatuAllah alihe) on intercession of Prophet (ﷺ) after his life-“The family of the Prophet, they are my means/intermediaries (wasîlatî) in this life and the afterlife,through them, I hope to be given my records in my right hand on the Day of Judgement.” ►Imâm Shâfi`î, Dîwân (Lebanon, Beirut: Dârul-Fikr, 2005), 162, #34

Abu Bakr al-Minqari said: I was with (al-hafiz) al-Tabarani and Abu al-Shaykh in the Prophet’s Mosque, in some difficulty. We became very hungry. That day and the next we didn’t eat. When it was time for `isha,I CAME TO THE PROPHET’S GRAVE AND I SAID: “O Messenger of Allah, we are hungry, we are hungry” (ya rasullAllah al-ju` al-ju`)! Then I left. Abu al-Shaykh said to me: Sit. Either there will be food for us, or death. I slept and Abu al-Shaykh slept. al-Tabarani stayed awake, researching something. Then an `Alawi (a descendant of `Ali) came knocking at the door with two boys, each one carrying a palm-leaf basket filled with food. We sat up and ate. We thought that the children would take back the remainder but they left everything behind. When we finished, the `Alawi said: O people, did you complain to the Prophet? I saw him in my sleep and he ordered me to bring something to you. [Al-Hafiz Ibn Jawzi, Kitab al Wafa, Page 818]

The tomb of Abū Ayyūb al-Ansārī-He was one of the great Companions. He took part in the battle of Constantinople. Near the enemy border he fell ill. As the illness grew worse, he dictated his will as follows:When I die, take my dead body with you, when you line up against the enemy, bury me in your feet.►Ibn ‘Abd-ul-Barr, al-Istiab fī ma‘rifat-il-ashāb (1:404-5)

And Abū Ayyūb’s grave lies near the ramparts of the fort and everybody knows it… When people pray for rain there, it starts raining.►Ibn ‘Abd-ul-Barr, al-Istiab fī ma‘rifat-il-ashāb (1:405)

Imam Shafi-..….I derive blessing from the person of Imam Abū Hanīfah and I visit his grave everyday. When I face a problem, I offer two optional cycles of prayer and visit his grave and (while standing) I pray to Allah to solve my problem. And I have not even left the place that my problem is solved. (Tārīkh Baghdād (1:123),Ibn Hajar Haythamī, al-Khayrāt-ul-hisān fī manāqib-il-imām al-a‘zam Abū Hanīfah (p.94),Ibn ‘Ābidīn Shāmī in Radd-ul-muhtār ‘alā Durr-il-mukhtār (1:41))

 Imam Malik- Once caliph Abū Ja‘far Mansūr visited Medina and he asked Imam Mālik: “While supplicating, should I turn my face to the prayer niche [and turn my back to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ)] or should I turn my face to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) (and turn my back to the prayer niche)?” On this interrogation, Imam Mālik replied: “(O caliph!) Why do you turn your face from the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), as he is the source of mediation for you and for your ancestor Adam ((as)) on the Day of Judgement? Rather you should (pray and supplicate by) turning towards the Prophet (ﷺ) and seek his intercession so that he intercedes for you before Allah on the Day of Judgement. Allah has declared:”We sent not an apostle, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah.s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful”(4/64) (Qādī ‘Iyād in his ash-Shifā (2:596),Subkī in Shifā’-us-siqām fī ziyārat khayr-il-anām , Qastallānī in al-Mawāhib-ul-laduniyyah)

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)
