As it is reported by ‘Amr bin Shu‘ayb that his grandfather says: we were present in the company of the holy Prophet (ﷺ ) when messengers from Hawāzin tribe came and said, “O Muhammad! We belong to the same origin and tribe, and the trouble we are facing is not hidden from you, therefore, have mercy on us.” The holy Prophet (ﷺ ) replied, “Opt one of the two choices; either take away your property and wealth or have your women freed.” They opted for their women and children. Then the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ ) added: as far as my share and the share of ‘Abd-ul-Muttalib and his children (in the spoils) is concerned, I have already given it to you. But when I have performed the noon prayer, you should all stand up and say:Through the means of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ ) we seek help for our women and children from believers (or Muslims). (Nasā’ī, Sunan, b. of hibah (gifts) 6:262-3)

..Anyone who prays like us and makes our qiblah as his qiblah and eats our slaughtered meat, so he is a Muslim for whom Allāh and His Messenger (ﷺ ) are both responsible. So do not break Allāh’s responsibility.(bukhari)

….Undoubtedly, there are some of Allāh’s angels on the earth who are in addition to the guardian angels. They note down each leaf that falls down from a tree. If anyone of you is being tortured in the jungle, you should cry, ‘O servants of Allāh, help me.’ Haythamī in Majma‘-uz-zawā’id (10:132)

the Prophet (ﷺ ) has urged the believers to help one another:Anyone who is busy in fulfilling the need of his brother, Allāh Himself fulfils his need. Bukhārī bk. of mazālim (oppressions) ch.4 (2:863#2310),

And Allāh is busy in helping His creature as long as he is busy helping his brother. Tirmidhī bk.of hudūd, ch.3 (4:34#1425)

If anyone of you goes out with his brother to help him, it is better than the two months’ seclusion in my mosque. “Tabarānī in al-Mu‘jam-ul-awsat (8:160#7322)

Allāh has created a class of creatures for the fulfilment of people’s needs so that people turn to them for (the fulfilment of) their needs. These creatures are immune to Allāh’s punishment. Haythamī narrated it in Majma‘-uz-zawā’id (8:192);

….When you lose your means of transport in a jungle, you should call: ‘O creatures of Allāh! Help me, recover my transport! O creatures of Allāh! Help me, recover my transport!’ There are many of Allāh’s creatures on this earth. They will help you recover it. Tabarānī narrated it in al-Mu‘jam-ul-kabīr (10:217#10518)

Ibn Kathīr comments on the Qur’ānic verse:(In this Qur’ānic verse) Allāh is exhorting the sinners and evildoers that when they commit sins and errors they should call on the Messenger of Allāh(ﷺ ) and ask forgiveness from Allāh. They should also request the Messenger of Allāh(ﷺ ) to pray for them. When they do so, Allāh will turn to them and show mercy to them and He will forgive them. That is why He used the words la-wajadullāha tawwāb-ar-rahīmā (they (on the basis of this means and intercession) would have surely found Allāh the Granter of repentance, extremely Merciful). Many have stated this tradition. One of them is Abū Mansūr as-Sabbāgh who writes the famous narration in his book that, according to ‘Utbī, once he was sitting beside the Prophet’s grave when a bedouin came and he said: ‘Peace be on you, O Allāh’s Messenger! I have heard that Allāh says, “(O beloved!) And if they had come to you, when they had wronged their souls, and asked forgiveness of Allāh, and the Messenger also had asked forgiveness for them, they (on the basis of this means and intercession) would have surely found Allāh the Granter of repentance, extremely Merciful.” I have come to you, asking forgiveness for my sins and I make you as intercessor before my Lord and I have come to you for this purpose.’ Then he recited these verses: ‘O, the most exalted among the buried people who improved the worth of the plains and the hillocks! May I sacrifice my life for this grave which is made radiant by you, (the Prophet,) the one who is (an embodiment of) mercy and forgiveness.’ Then the bedouin went away and I fell asleep. In my dream I saw the Holy Prophet (ﷺ ). He said to me: ‘O ‘Utbī, the bedouin is right, go and give him the good news that Allāh has forgiven his sins.’ Ibn Kathīr, Tafsīr-ul-Qur’ān al-‘azīm (1:519-20).

Your deeds are presented to me. If they are good, I express my gratitude to Allāh, and if the deeds are not good, then I pray to Allāh for your forgiveness. (Ibn Kathīr in al-Bidāyah wan-nihāyah (4:257). Bazzār in his Musnad)

And these (infidels) ask you questions about the soul. Tell them that the soul is by the command of my Lord.17/85

Narrating another tradition, Ibn-ul-Qayyim writes:“‘Ibād bin ‘Ibād called on Ibrāhīm bin Sālih and at that time Ibrāhīm bin Sālih was the ruler of Palestine. ‘Ibād bin ‘Ibād said to him: give me some advice. Ibrāhīm bin Sālih said: What should I advise you? May God make you a pious man! I have received the news that the deeds of the living are presented to their dead relatives. Now you just reflect on your deeds which are presented to the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ ).After relating this, Ibrāhīm bin Sālih cried so bitterly that his beard became wet.” Ibn-ul-Qayyim, Kitāb-ur-rūh (p.13).

Ibn Taymiyyah has related a story in the perspective of this tradition that Ibn Abī Dunyā has narrated a tradition in his book Mujābī ad-du‘ā’ that a person came over to see ‘Abd-ul-Malik bin Sa‘īd bin Abjar. ‘Abd-ul-Malik pressed his belly and told him that he was suffering from an incurable disease. The man asked him: ‘what is it?’ ‘Abd-ul-Malik replied that it was a kind of ulcer that grows inside the belly and ultimately kills the man. It is said that the patient turned round and then he said:Allāh! Allāh! Allāh is my Lord. I regard no one as His rival or partner. O Allāh! I beseech You and submit myself to You through the mediation of Your Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ ), the merciful Prophet. O Muhammad! Through your means I submit myself to your and my Lord that He should take mercy on me in my state of illness.It is said that ‘Abd-ul-Malik pressed his belly again and said: ‘you are cured, you are no longer suffering from any disease.’

Ibn Taymiyyah after recording the whole incident in his book, comments:I say that this and other forms of supplication have been taken over from our predecessors. Ibn Taymiyyah, Qā‘idah jalīlah fit-tawassul wal-wasīlah (p.91).

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)
