How the Sahaba & Scholars pay tribute to the Prophet Pbuh & Awliya Allah
Some people have a BIG Issue with graves and they keep on propping their false propoganda in contempt of realities. Here lets see in light of hadith how not only visiting graves is allowed but how far this exercise goes ...Good Luck !:)
(1) It is in Hadith -"It is related from Malik al-Dar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) , `Umar's (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) treasurer, that the people suffered a drought during the successorship of `Umar, (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) whereupon a man came to the grave of the Prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), ask for rain for your Community, for verily they have but perished," after which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) appeared to him in a dream and told him: "Go to `Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) and give him my greeting, then tell him that they will be watered. Tell him: You must be clever (cautious), you must be clever (cautious)!" The man went and told `Umar (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ). The latter said: "O my Lord, I spare no effort except in what escapes my power!"
The above Hadith has been mentioned by Imam Bukhari in his book Taarikh al-Kabir - Biography of Malik al-dar. It is also is narrated by Bayhaqi. Ibn Taymiyyah wrote this Hadith in Sirat al Mustaqim - page 373. Ibn Kathir cites it in al-Bidaya wa al-nihaya and says: isnaduhu sahih. Ibn Abi Shayba cites it in his Musannaf with a sound (sahih) chain as confirmed by Ibn Hajar who says: rawa Ibn Abi Shayba bi isnadin sahih and cites the hadith in Fath al-Bari. He identifies Malik al-Dar as `Umar's (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) treasurer (khazin `umar) and says that the man who visited and saw the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) in his dream is identified as the Companion Bilal ibn al-Harith (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ), and he counts this Hadith among the reasons for Bukhari's naming of the chapter "The people's request to their leader for rain if they suffer drought."
The narrators of the above Hadith are: (1) Abu Mu‘awiya, (2) Imam A‘mash, (3) Abu Salih Abd al Rahman bin Sa’eed, (4) Malik bin Ayyad al-Dar. All of them are considered as authentic and famous narrators of Ahadith whose narrations were taken by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, and others.
2) It is in Hadith - Narrated by Ibn Majah, Ahmad, at-Tabarani, as-Subki and Ibn Asakir that : Mu`adh Ibn Jabal (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) and Bilal (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) came to the Grave of the Prophet(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and sat weeping and Bilal (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) rubbed his face against the Grave of Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). (Ibn Majah 2:1320, Ahmad, al-Tabarani, al-Subki, and Ibn Asakir).
(3) Imam Malik was asked the following question by the Caliph Abu Ja`far al- Mansur:
"Shall I face the Qibla with my back towards the grave of the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)when making du`a (after salams)?" He replied: "How could you turn your face away from him (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)when he is the means (wasila) of your and your father Adam's forgiveness to Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی)on the Day of Resurrection? Nay, face him and ask for his intercession (Istashfi bihi) so that Allah (سبحانہ و تعا لی) will grant it to you as He said: وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا- (Meaning - If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful). ( An-Nisa - 64).
The above is narrated by al-Qadi `Iyad in al-Shifa (2:92-93). Subki in Shifa' al-siqam. Qastallani in al-Mawahib al-laduniyya. Ibn Jama`a in Hidayat al-salik. Haytami in al-Jawhar al-munazzam and Tuhfat al-zuwwar and others. <=== Remember Folks this is what IMAM MALIK RA has said...not some joker from this century !..Imam Malik Ra is an UNDISPUTED SCHOLAR of the Ahle SUNNAH who milllions of people follow and when he says something the muslim world listens to it. Hear him out please !
