“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)
A Hadith (ra)states, “Hadrat Ziraa (ra)who was present in the delegation of Abdul-Qais, narrates. “When we arrived at Madina, we hastily descended from our rides and began to kiss the hands and feet of the Holy Prophetﷺ ” Mishkaat, Baabul-Musaafaha wal-Muanaqa, Section 2
Hadrat Safwaan ibn AsaaI (ra)states, ”They kissed the hands and feet of Sayyiduna Rasoolullahﷺ – Mishkaat, Baabul-Kabaair wa AlaamaatinNifaaq
In another Hadith, “Sayyidah Aisha (ra)ا states, ‘The Noble Messengerﷺ kissed Uthman ibn Ma’zoon (ra)when he passed away,” – Mishkaat, Baabu Maa Yuqaal inda man Hadarahul-Maut
Qaadhi Ayaadh (ra)states, “Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar (ra)used to place his hand and mouth upon (i.e. he used to kiss) the mimbar from which the Holy Prophetﷺ used to deliver the khutba – Shifaa Sharif
Hadrat Asma bint Abu Baler (ra)had the Jubba Sharif of the Holy Prophetﷺ in her possession. Whenever a person fell ill in Medina, she used to wash it and give the water to the sick person to drink. – Mishkaat, Kitabut-Libaas
Once, the Holy Prophetﷺ went to the home of Hadrat Kabsha (ra)and drank water by placing his blessed mouth on the leather water-bag (mashkeeza) of his host. Hadrat Kabsha (ra)cut out this piece and kept it for blessings. – Mishkaat, kitabul-Atimaa, Baabul-Ashribaa
Also, a group of people once came to the Prophetﷺ and accepted Islam on his blessed hands. They then submitted, “Ya RasoolAllah ﷺ There is a temple of Jews (Biaa) in the area where we come from. We wish to bring it down and build a Musjid there,” The Messengerﷺ took a dish with water and gargled (kulli) in it. He then said, “Break down the temple, sprinkle this water over the earth and then build the Musjid.” – Mishkaat, Kitaabus-Salah, Baabul-Masaajid, Section 2
Abdullah. the freed slave of Asma’ (the daughter of Abu
Bakr). the maternal uncle of the son of ‘Ata, reported: Asma’ sent me to
‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar saying: The news has reached me that you prohibit the use
of three things: the striped robe. saddle cloth made of red silk. and the
fasting in the holy month of Rajab. ‘Abdullah said to me: So far as what you
say about fasting in the month of Rajab, how about one who observes continuous
fasting? -and so far as what you say about the striped garment, I heard Umar
bin Khatab say that he had heard from Allah’s Messenger ﷺ: He who wears silk garment has no share for him
(in the Hereafter), and I am afraid it may not be that striped garment; and so
far as the red saddle cloth is concerned that is the saddle cloth of Abdullah
and it is red. I went back to Asma’ and informed her. whereupon she said: Here
is the cloak of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ. and
she brought out to me that cloak made of Persian cloth with a hem of brocade,
and its sleeves bordered with brocade and 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)”.
►Ibn Majah transmitted it in his Sunan, book of Iqamat al-salat wa
al-sunnat (establishing prayer and its sunnahs)[Page 197, Hadith No#1385)
Similarly, another tradition narrated by Imam Hākim is
present in different words. In this tradition, ‘Uthmān bin Hunayf says that he
was present in the Prophet’s company. A blind person called on the Prophet (ﷺ ) and complained about the loss of his
eyesight. He added: ‘O Messenger of Allah, there is no one to guide me and I am
in great trouble.’ On hearing his complaint, the Prophet (ﷺ ) said:Bring an earthen pot for ablution, then
perform the ablution and offer two cycles of optional prayer. Then say: “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.
►Nasā’ī, ‘Amal-ul-yawm wal-laylah (p.418#660)
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)
