حُقُوقُ العِباد! آہ! ہوگا مِرا کیا!                     کرم مجھ پہ کر دے کرم یا الٰہی!

بڑی کوششیں کی گُنہ چھوڑنے کی                        رہے آہ! ناکام ہم یا الٰہی!

مجھے سچی توبہ کی توفیق دیدے                     پئے تاجدارِ حرم یاالٰہی!

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Prediction of an Islamic saint

In the beginning, Sayyiduna Imam-e-A’zam Abu Hanifah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was a trader. One day he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه met Imam Sha’bi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه who                 asked Sayyiduna Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, ‘What do you do?’ Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied that he had a business in the market. Imam Sha’bi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘Why are you busy in the market? Keep approaching Islamic scholars!’
