Sayyiduna Abul Khayr رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْہِ has said: When I reached Madinah, which is the holy city of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ, I had not eaten anything for five days. Saying Salam to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ and to his companions Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq and Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُمَا, I said humbly, ‘اَنَا ضَیْفُكَ یَا رَسُوْلَ الله’ i.e. Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ! I am your guest.’ Afterwards, I went near the blessed Mimber¹ and fell asleep. As I closed my eyes, the ‘eyes’ of my heart opened. In my dream, I was blessed with the privilege of beholding the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ who was accompanied by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq and Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم. Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَرَّمَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی وَجْهَهُ الْکَرِیْم said, ‘Get up! The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has arrived.’ I stood up and kissed the luminous forehead of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ in the dream. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ bestowed upon me a piece of bread. I ate half of it in the state of the dream and found the remaining half in my hand when I woke up.

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