Forgiveness for the visitor of blessed shrine

on page 308 of the 413 page book ‘Uyoon-ul Hikayaat’ (part 2) published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of dawat-e-Islami, Imam ‘Abdur Rahman Bin ‘Ali Jawzi رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ has narrated: sayyiduna Muhammad Bin Harb Hilaali رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ has stated: once I was present near the blessed shrine of the Beloved Rasool (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) when a Bedouin came and pleaded: “O Rasoolallah (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ)! The truthful book revealed to you by Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ also contains:

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآءُوكَ فَٱسْتَغْفَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابًۭا رَّحِيمًۭا

And if when they do injustice to their own souls (by committing sins), then O Beloved, they should come to your august court, and then seek forgiveness from Allah, and the Messenger intercedes for them, so they would definitely find Allah The Greatest Acceptor of repentance, The Most Merciful.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 5, Surah An-Nisa, Ayah 64)

O my Beloved Rasool (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ)! Repenting to Allah َّ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ for my sins, I am present in your court. I beg you to intercede for me in the divine court.” saying this, the devotee of Rasool started weeping and reciting these couplets:

يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دُفِنَ بِالْقَاعِ أَعْظُمُهُ

فَطَابَ مِنْ طِيبِهِنَّ الْقَاعُ وَالْأَكَمُ

نَفْسِي الْفِدَاءُ لِقَبْرٍ أَنْتَ سَاكِنُهُ

فِيهِ الْعَفَافُ وَفِيهِ الْجُودُ وَالْكَرَمُ

1. O the best of the creatures whose blessed body has been laid to rest in this ground! The beauty and sanctity of your blessed body has made the ground and the mounds fragrant.

2. May my life be sacrificed for this blessed grave in which the Beloved Rasool rests! It has a great treasure of modesty, generosity, forgiveness (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) and benevolence!

That devotee of Rasool continued to recite the couplets. He then left, seeking forgiveness for his sins with tearful eyes. Sayyiduna Muhammad Bin Harb Hilaali رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ stated: When I went to sleep, I was privileged to behold the Blessed Rasool (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) in my dream. He (صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said to me:

إِلْحَقِ الرَّجُلَ فَبَشِّرْهُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَىٰ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَهُ بِشَفَاعَتِي

i.e. Meet that Bedouin and give him the good news that allah َّ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ has forgiven him by virtue of my intercession. 

(‘Uyoon-ul-Hikayaat, pp. 378; summarized) 

May Allah َّ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!

Sar-ga-zisht-e-gham kahoon kis say tayray hotay huway

Kis kay dar per jaoon tayra aastanah chhor ker

Bakhshwana mujh say ‘aasi ka rawa hoga kisay!

Kis kay daman mayn chhupoon daman tumhara chhor ker

(Zauq-e-Na’at)
