Ashabe Khaf Ka Waqiya

Book Name:Ashabe Khaf Ka Waqiya

Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم made the Sahabah great source of giving guidance. It is by virtue of this Nisbat that Sadaat-e-Kiraam are Afzal and A’la. It was by virtue of the Nisbat that the dust of the hooves of the horse of Sayyiduna Jibra`eel became the cause of life. It was the Sadaqah of the Nisbat with Ambiya that Bani Israel would defeat the enemies by the blessing of Taboot-e-Sakeenah.

It was the blessing of the Nisbat that due to the blessed Qamees that touched the blessed body of Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام, Sayyiduna Yaqoob’s vision was restored. It is the blessing of this Nisbat only, that specific countries, cities, areas, streets, towns, months, days, dates, nations, places and personalities, even the commonly used everyday items become respectable and reverent.

Highlighting the importance of Nisbat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi             رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: Safa and Marwah are the mountains on which Sayyidatuna Haajirah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا climbed up and down 7 times in search of water. By the blessing of the steps of the pious bondwoman, these both mountains have become the sign of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and it has become mandatory for Hajis to climb up and down these mountains 7 times until the Judgement Day, following the same act of that pious bondwoman. By virtue of being touched by the pious saints’ feet, it has become the sign of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Maqaam-e-Ibraheem is the stone on which Sayyiduna Ibraheem Khaleelullah عَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام stood and constructed Ka’bah Mu’azzamah. By the blessing of Sayyiduna Ibraheem Khaleelullah عَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام, that stone also has become the sign of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and its reverence has become so compulsory that it has become Sunnah to offer the Nafl of Tawaf standing in front of it. That is, one should bow his head in front of it (in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ) in Sajdah. If by virtue of the steps of saints, Safa and Marwah and Maqaam-e-Ibraheem have become the sign of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and become reverential, the graves of Ambiya and pious saints in which these personages are resting till the Judgement day, certainly are the signs of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and their reverence is compulsory.

The Muslims of previous age built a Masjid there at the entrance of the cave of Ashab-e-Kahf where Ashab-e-Kahf are resting, and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ did not get displeased with this act. It has been learnt that reverence becomes necessary
