Blessed hand emerged from the luminous grave

After performing Hajj, Sayyiduna Shaykh Sayyid Ahmad Kabeer Rifa’ee رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ left for Madinah Munawwarah. When he reached the sacred shrine of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ he recited two Arabic couplets whose translation is as follows:

When I was far away from your blessed court, I used to send my soul as my representative; it used to kiss your blessed court.

Now I am physically present in your court; please reveal and stretch your blessed hand so that my lips may have the privilege of kissing it.

As soon as he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ finished the couplets, the blessed hand emerged from the sacred grave and he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ kissed it affectionately.

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