Book Name:Siddiq-e-Akbar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ ka ishq-e-Rasool

always looking for this opportunity: Let the Beloved ask for something! Everything will be brought to sacrifice at his feet (and would humbly say that):

 

کیا پیش کریں جاناں کیا چیز ہماری ہے

 

یہ دل بھی تمہارا ہے یہ جاں بھی تمہاری ہے

 

He was a true lover who never considered his possessions to be his own, but whatever he had, he would consider it to be the bestowal of the beloved. He instantly understood that the desire of the beloved was something else. Perhaps the beloved wants to say that: O my lover! I know your love; tell the world what is called love. Then he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ in a loving tone humbly said: ‘اَبْقَیْتُ لَھُمُ اللہَ وَرَسُوْ لَہٗ’ i.e. I have come to you with all the possessions of my home; for my family members, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are sufficient. Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was astonished to hear this and stated: I can never surpass Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. (Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 380, Hadees 3695)

 

In the meantime, the blessed companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ saw that the special messenger of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Sayyiduna Jibraeel Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام arrived at        the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, dressed in the same clothing as Sayyiduna Siddeeq-e-Akbar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked: O Jibraeel! What are you wearing? He humbly said:   Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Today, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has commanded all the angels to wear the same clothing as your true lover, Sayyiduna Siddeeq-e-Akbar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and besides this, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ sends Salam to him and asks if he is pleased or displeased with his Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ in this condition. Upon hearing this message of love, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ became extremely delighted and emotional and humbly said: Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! How could I be displeased with my Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Then he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ stated three times: I am pleased with my Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I am pleased with my Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I am pleased with my Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
