The return of shroud

At the time of her death, a pious lady in the city of Basra made a will to her son to shroud her in the clothes which she used to wear whilst worshiping in the holy month of Rajab. After her demise, her son buried her, shrouding in some other piece of cloth. When he returned home from the graveyard he was astonished to witness that the cloth in which he had shrouded his mother was at home.After anxiously searching for the clothes which she had instructed him to shroud her with, he found that those clothes had disappeared from their place. Suddenly, a voice was heard from the unknown, 'Take back your shroud. We have shrouded her (in the clothes which she had willed); we don't leave the people who observe fast in the Rajab to be stricken with grief in their graves'.

May Allahعزوجل  have mercy on them and may He forgive us without holding accountable for their sake.

Aamzing angel

The Prophet of mankind, the peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and kind(peace and blessings be upon him) has stated, "Undoubtedly, Allah has stationed an agel at my grave who has been granted the power of hearing the voice of every creature.Hence,whoever, until the day of judgement recites Salat upon me, he [i.e the angel] presents that person's name along with his father's name to me. The angel says "The so-and-so of the so-and-so has recited Salt upon you.
{majmauzzawaid, p:251, vol,10 hadith:17291}



سبحان اللہ عزوجل! how fortunate indeed is the person who recites Salat-Alan-nabi as his name along with his father's name is presented in the court of beloved and blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I would like to draw your attention to a noteworthy and faith-refreshing word of wisdom regarding this hadith.

The angel stattioned at the glorious grave of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon his soul) has granted such enormous hearing power that he can simultaneously hear the low voice of  Salat recitation of millions of muslims around the globe and he has also been granted Ilm-ul-ghayb as he is aware of the name of the reciter and that of the reciter's father. If this is the amazing state of hearing faculty and the Ilm-ul-Ghayb of the angel who is just a servant of the court of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); what will be the degree of powers and Ilm-ul-Ghayb of the noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon his soul) himself! Why would then he(peace and blessings be upon him) not recognize his devotees, listen to their pleas and help them, with the permission of Allah almighrty.
