Abdul Maajid Bin ‘Abdul Maalik, an aged scribe of Bab-ul-Madinah (Karachi), told a faith refreshing parable to some Islamic brothers. He said: I was only 13 at that time. My step-mother had become insane. She had to be kept in chains on the top floor of the house. She was given even long-term medical treatment but in vain. On someone’s advice, I and my father managed to take her from Pilibhit to Bareilly whilst still in chains. My mother continued to swear all the way. When she saw A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه, she shouted and said, ‘Who are you! And why have you come here!’ A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه told her very gently, ‘I have come for your betterment.’ My mother harshly said, ‘Will you do what I wish?’ He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه replied, ‘اِنْ شَـآءَ الـلّٰـهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ My mother said, ‘Make me behold Sayyiduna ‘Ali كَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجْـهَـهُ الْـكَـرِیْم.’
Hearing it, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه removed his blessed shawl from his blessed shoulders, covered his blessed face with it, and then uncovered his face. Now, instead of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه, Sayyiduna ‘Ali كَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجْـهَـهُ الْـكَـرِیْم with his luminous face was in front of us. My elderly mother was lost in beholding Sayyiduna ‘Ali كَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجْـهَـهُ الْـكَـرِیْم. I and my father also beheld Sayyiduna ‘Ali كَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجْـهَـهُ الْـكَـرِیْم in the state of wakefulness. Sayyiduna ‘Ali كَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجْـهَـهُ الْـكَـرِیْم then covered his blessed face with the shawl and then removed it, now A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه was present in front of us with his smiling face. Thereafter, giving some medicine in a small bottle, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه said, ‘These are two doses; give a single dose to the patient but do not give at all the second dose if not required.’
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ! My mother recovered from insanity with just a single dose of medicine and, since then, she did not suffer from any mental disorder during the rest of her life.
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْنْ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
Qismat mayn lakh paych haun, saw bal hazaar kaj
Yeh saari gutthi ik tayri seedhi nazar ki hay (Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish)
صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب! صَلَّی اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
The blessed penny
Once, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه was to go to harbour to welcome the Hujjaj (Hajj pilgrims). The hired transport got late. One of the devotees, Ghulam Nabi went to bring a horse-drawn cart without informing anyone. When he returned with the horse-cart, he saw that the booked vehicle had also arrived. He then gave a penny (i.e. a quarter of a rupee) to the cart owner and let him go. Nobody else was aware of it.
After four days, Ghulam Nabi came in the great court of A'la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه who gave him a penny. He asked, 'What is this penny for?' A'la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه replied, 'That day you gave a penny to that cart man.' Ghulam Nabi became astonished as he had not told anybody about it yet A'la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـallٰـهِ عَـلَـيْـه became aware of it. Seeing him in deep thought people said, 'Why are you losing this penny, take it as a sacred relic.' He then took the penny. As long as that sacred penny remained in his possession, he did not face financial problem.

Release from imprisonment...
An aged woman was a disciple of A'la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه. Her husband was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment and a penalty of five thousand rupees as a result of a murder case. She lodged an appeal in the court. She said that she visited the blessed court of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه daily since the day of lodging the appeal. A few days before the date of court’s decision, she came to A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه while observing proper veil and requested for help. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه advised her to recite ﴿حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَکِیْلُ﴾ abundantly. She left. Thereafter, she came to the court of A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه several times and he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه advised the same.
At last, the date of the court’s decision arrived. She came and requested, ‘Your honour! Today the decision will be made.’ He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه replied, ‘Keep reciting the same invocation.’ Listening to the same reply, she became slightly annoyed and began to return muttering, ‘When my Peer [i.e. spiritual guide] does not help, why would anybody else help!’ When A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه observed the situation, he called her back and said, ‘Take the Paan (betel leaf).’ She replied, ‘I am already chewing a Paan.’ A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه insisted but she was a little displeased. Then, giving the Paan to her with his own blessed hand, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَـيْـه said, ‘He has been released, now take and chew this Paan.’ Listening to it, she took the Paan happily and went home. When she reached near her home, her children came to her hurriedly saying, ‘Where were you, a person with a telegram is waiting for you.’
Receiving the telegram, she happily went home where she got the telegram read out and learnt that her husband had been released. (Hayat A’la Hadrat, vol. 3, pp. 202)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْنْ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
Tamanna hay farmaiye rauz-e-Mahshar
Yeh tayri riha`ee ki chitthi mili hay
