Sayyiduna Abu ‘Imran Musa Bin Muhammad Banzarti رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ has stated: During my stay in Madinah, I once humbly visited the sacred shrine of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ. Faced with financial problems, I beseeched: ‘یَاحَبِیْبِیْ یَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ! اَنَا فِیْ ضِیَافَةِ اللهِ وَ ضِیَافَتِكَ’ Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ! I am a guest of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and yours.’ Then, while sitting in wait for Salat-ul-Asr, I fell asleep. In the state of dream, I saw that the blessed Hujrah opened and three holy individuals came out of it. I wanted to stand up in order to say Salam to the Greatest Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ, but the person sitting next to me said, ‘Sit down. The Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ is going to bestow the gift of ‘Salam’ upon Hajj performers and ‘food’ upon those who have no provisions.’ I said, ‘I am also one of them.’
When the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ came, Hajj performers were blessed with his Salam. I was also privileged to shake hands with him and to kiss his blessed hand. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ then placed something like halvah i.e. a type dessert on to my palm which I immediately put into my mouth. When I woke up, I was still chewing it and feeling its taste. After I left, I came across a person who arranged for a conveyance for me without any fare. The same person also appointed a servant who served me until I reached Makkah.

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