Let’s listen to a few parables of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم helping the People from his Ummah after his apparent demise.
v
Sayyiduna Shaykh Ahmad Bin
Nafees عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ
الۡـقَـوِی has stated, ‘During my
stay in Madina-tul-Munawwarah, I once experienced extreme hunger. Presenting
myself at the blessed tomb of the Holy Prophet
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I pleaded, ‘Ya Rasoolallah
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I am hungry.’ Suddenly,
I fell asleep. Meanwhile, someone awoke me and asked me to go with him. I
agreed so he took me to his home. Serving me with dates, butter and wheat bread
he said, ‘Eat until you are satisfied because my blessed ancestor Sayyiduna Muhammad
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has commanded me to be
hospitable to you. Come to me whenever you feel hunger in future.’ (Hujjah-tul-Ilahi-‘alal-‘Alameen,
vol. 2, pp. 573)

مانگے سے جو مِلے کِسے فہم اس قدر کی ہے
v Sayyiduna Ahmad Bin Muhammad Sufi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said that I continued to wander in the jungles for three months until my skin became very thin and weak. Finally I reached Madinah Munawwarah and made my Salam in the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and Shaykhayn Karimayn (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and Sayyiduna Umar-e-Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) and then fell asleep. In a dream I had the privilege of the vision of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
