Sayyiduna Abu ‘Abdullah Bin Muhammad Azdee Andalusi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ has said that Romans imprisoned the son of a devotee of Rasool in Andalus, i.e. Spain. The devotee departed for Madinah Munawwarah with the intention of pleading with the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ. On the way, he met some of his acquaintances¹ and shared his problem with them. They suggested that one could plead with the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ even while staying at his home. Visiting the blessed shrine in person is not a condition for the fulfilment of this purpose. But the devotee continued his journey. Eventually, he reached Madinah and was privileged to visit the blessed court of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ. After he said Salam, he expressed his wish. He was showered with blessings. At night, he saw the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ in his dream.
The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ said, ‘Go back to your city. Your wish has been fulfilled.’ When he returned to his country, he was greatly delighted to see his son who had really come back. When asked how he managed to return, his son replied, ‘One night, many prisoners including me were suddenly released from captivity in Rome!’ His father, the devotee of Rasool, made calculation and found out that it was the same night when he had heard the good news in the dream.

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