Sayyiduna Imam Abu Bakr Bin Muqri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ has stated that once he and his two companions Sayyiduna Imam Tabarani and Sayyiduna Abush-Shaykh رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی were present in Madinah Munawwarah. They had not eaten anything for two days and were extremely hungry. At the time of ‘Isha, Sayyiduna Imam Abu Bakr Bin Muqri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ came to the sacred grave of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ and humbly said: ‘یَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ! اَلْجُوْع’ O Rasool of Allah, hunger!
He did not say anything else and returned home. He goes on to say that thereafter, he and Abush-Shaykh went to sleep, whereas Tabarani began to wait for someone. Soon, there was a knock at the door. When they opened the door, they found an ‘Alawi noble person accompanied by two servants with trays of food in their hands. That person said, ‘Perhaps you have requested the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ for food. He further explained, I had a dream in which I beheld the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ who commanded me to provide you with food.’ He then ate food with us, gave us the remaining food and left.

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy upon him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
