Asking help –imams 2
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah Al-Ansari: Allah’s Apostle said, “Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya, for I am Al-Qasim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allah’s blessings.” This narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the ! Prophet said so.”►Vol 8, Bk 73, N0 216: (Sahih Bukhari)
The Prophet (Saws) said to Sayyidna Ka’b (RA): Ask for something. Ka’b (ra) said: I ask for your companionship in Jannah. The Prophet said: Do you want something else? He replied: Just this, the Prophet (saw) then said: help me by doing more prostrations – Taken from Muslim (Mishqat ul Misabih, Volume No. 1 Page No. 156)
Sheikh Abdul Haqq Muhadith Dhelvi (rah) writes under this hadith:The meaning of Prophet (Saws) saying “ASK” and not restricting it to something specific proves that all things are in hands of Prophet (Saws) and he can grant anyone whatsoever he wishes through the grant of Allah, because the world and hereafter are his Sikhawat and the knowledge of Loh and Qalam is part of his Uloom, If you are in need of anything relating to world or hereafter then come to the Prophet (Saws) and get your need fulfilled. [Ash’at ul Lamaat, Sharah al Mishqaat, Volume No.2, Page No. 247]
Mullah Ali Qari (rah) says: The Prophet (Saws) saying to “ASK” refers to Allah giving him capability
to grant anything from the “TREASURES OF ALLAH” [Mirqat Sharh al
Mishqaat (2/615)]
Imam Ibn Sabih and others have mentioned it in qualities of Prophet (Saws) that Allah has granted the land of Jannah to
Prophet (Saws) so that he can grant whosoever he wishes [Mirqaat Sharh
al Mishqaat (2/615)]
Abdullah bin Ahmed bin Hanbal (rah) said that he heard his father (Imam Ahmed)
who said: I performed Hajj 5 times, thrice on foot and twice on ride or he said
thrice on ride and twice on foot, once when I was on foot I lost my way hence I started to exclaim
this: O Allah’s servants show me the way(يا عباد الله دلوني على الطريق), I kept on repeating this until I came back
on track. [Imam Baihaqi in Shu’ayb ul Iman, Volume 6, Page No 128, Hadith
No. 7697
Vol2, Bk 24, No 553: (Sahih Bukhari)-Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar
The Prophet said, “A man keeps on
asking others for something till he comes on the Day of Resurrection without
any piece of flesh on his face.” The Prophet added, “On the
Day of Resurrection, the Sun will come near (to, the people) to such an extent
that the sweat will reach up to the middle of the ears, so, when all the people
are in that state, they will ask Adam for help (استغاثو), and then Moses, and then Muhammad (p.b.u.h) The sub-narrator
added “Muhammad will intercede
with Allah to judge amongst the people. He will proceed on till he will hold
the ring of the door (of Paradise) and then Allah will exalt him to Maqam
Mahmud (the privilege of intercession, etc.). And all the people of the
gathering will send their praises to Allah.
Now remember people will
run towards Prophets for help, clearly word Istighatha has been used in this
hadith, this proves that had Istighatha been shirk then it could never be
allowed on day of judgment and all those Prophets would have rather told the
people to run towards Allah alone rather than next prophet!
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)
