Wasila-Quran Ahadith
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
Maryam place of worship used as
a means of approach by Zakriyyah (alaih salam)
Allah azza Wajjal Says:And her supervision
was given to Zakariyyā. Whenever Zakariyyā entered her place of worship, he
found with her (the latest and freshest) items of food. He asked, “O Maryam,
where do these things come to you from?” She said, “This (food) comes from Allah.”
Surely, Allah gives to whomsoever He wishes without measure. (3/37
In the next verse Allah has mentioned Zakariyyā’s prayer at this very
spot:At that very place Zakariyya prayed to his Lord. He requested, “My Master!
Give me from Yourself pure offspring. Surely You are the Hearer of prayer.”(3/38)
Qur’an itself has rectified the error and eliminated uncertainty by using the
word “hunalika (there)” When we reflect on the words of the
Qur’anic verse, we realize that it was Zakariyya’s routine that he woke up
in the later part of the night and prayed to his Lord. he chose
specifically the chamber in which Maryam lived. Thus the choice of that
particular spot is an act of intermediation and at the same time it is a confirmation
of the fact that a sacred spot can also serve as a source of intermediation.
Quranic method of using a blessed shirt which had touched a blessed body as
a means to cure.
Yusuf said, “Take my shirt and lay it on the face of my father (Ya‘qub),
he will regain his sight.” (12/93)
When the bearer of glad tidings arrived, he laid the shirt on the face of
Ya‘qūb and his sight returned immediately (12/96)
This Qur’anic verse clearly proves that intermediation through any object
associated with the prophets and the saints does not negate the Islamic concept
of divine unity. In this case the sender of the shirt is a prophet, the
one who is benefiting from this act of intermediation is
also a prophet .
……Asma said: …. This was Allah’s
Messenger’s cloak with ‘A’isha until she died, and when she died. I got
possession of it. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to wear that, and “WE
WASHED IT FOR THE SICK AND SOUGHT CURE THEREBY”►Book 024, Number 5149:
(Sahih Muslim)
The Hadith states: It was narrated from ‘Uthman bin Hunaif that a blind man
came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “Pray to Allah
to heal me.” He said: “If you
wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or if you wish, I
will supplicate for you.” He said: “Supplicate.” So he told
him to perform ablution and do it well, to pray two Rak’ah, and to say this
supplication: “Allahumma lnni as’aluka wa atawajjahu ilaika
bimuhammadin nabiyyir-rahma. Ya Muhammadu inni qad tawajjahtu bika ila rabbi fi
hajati hadhihi lituqda. Allahumma fashaffi’hu fiya (O Allah, I ask of You
and I turn my face towardsYou by virtue of the intercession of Muhammad the
Prophet of mercy. O Muhammad, I have turned to my Lord by virtue of your
intercession concerning this need of mine so that it may be met. O Allah, accept
his intercession concerning me)”.(Nasa’i, ‘Amal-ul-yawm wal-laylah
(p.417#658-659),Ahmad bin Hambal in his Musnad (4:138 #17246-17247) Ibn Kathīr,
al-Bidāyah wan-nihāyah (4:558)
….“O Allah, I appeal to You,
and submit to You through the mediation of Your merciful Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). O Muhammad, through your mediation I submit myself to
your Lord that He should give light to my eyes. O Allah, acknowledge his
intercession in my favour and accept my supplication also in my favour.” ‘Uthmān bin Hunayf says: I swear by Allah that we had
neither left the company nor had we carried on a long conversation that the man
entered (with his sight fully restored) and it seemed as if he had never been
blind.(Suyūtī, al-Khasā’is-ul-kubrā (2:201) Qastallānī, al-Mawāhib-ul-laduniyyah
(4:594)

Imam Tabrani has narrated an
incident that a person repeatedly visited Uthman bin Affan (ra) concerning
something he needed but Uthman paid no attention to him. The man went to Uthman
bin Hunaif (ra) and complained to him about the matter- [Note: this was
after the death of the Prophet and after the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Umar ] so
Uthman bin Hunaif said : “Go to the place of Wudu, then come to the Masjid,
perform two Rak’ats and then say : “O Allah!, I ask you and turn to you
through our Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad! I turn through
you to my lord, that He fulfil my need” and mention your need. Then come so
that I can go with you [to the caliph Uthman] So the man left and did as he had
been told, then went to the door of Uthman ibn Affan (Allah be pleased with
him), and the doorman came, took him by the hand, brought him to Uthman ibn
Affan, and seated him next to him on a cushion. ‘Uthman asked, “What do
you need?” and the man mentioned what he wanted, and Uthman accomplished
it for him …(till the end of hadith)
