Mysterious crippled man
Sayyidun Ab Qilba

_.

,
has related: In Syria, I came
across a man who was saying repeatedly, What a pity! I am
destined to Hell. I approached the man. Upon reaching him, I
was terribly surprised to see that both of his hands and his feet
had been severed; and he was blind. He was lying flat on his
front on the ground, repeating the same sentence over and
over again, What a pity! I am destined to Hell. I asked him, O
man! Why and for what reason are you saying so? When he
heard me, he replied, O person! Do not ask about me. I am
from those ill-fated people who had entered the home of Amr-
ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,
in order
to assassinate him. When I reached near (Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,
) with my sword, his respectable wife
.

_.

,

began to shout at me. Filled with anger, I slapped the
Honourable Lady
.

_.

,
. Seeing this, Amr-ul-Muminn
Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,
made the following
Du to put a curse upon me, May Allah

.
cut off both
your hands and both your feet, make you blind and throw you
into Hell. O person! As I saw the furious expression on the
face of Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

.
and heard his
cursing upon me, I began to tremble from head to toe and fled
from there in panic. Until now, I have suffered with three out of
the four parts of the curse that Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

.
put upon me. You can see that both of my hands and feet
have severed and I have become blind too. Alas! Now the
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

3
fourth part of his curse is yet to befall me i.e. being thrown to
Hell. (Ar-Riy-ul-Naara lil Muhibbi-tabari, vol. 3, pp. 41)
Do jahn main dushman-e-Umn all-o-khuwr ain
Bad marne ke ab-e-nr k aqdr ay
Sordid and wretched is Umns enemy
Of the torment on the Day of Judgment, he is worthy

Dear Islamic brothers! On the 18

of ul ajja-tul-arm, 35
th

year of the ijra, the companion of our Beloved and Blessed
Rasl

_.

.
,

,
, Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,

was ruthlessly martyred. He

_.

,
was the third Khalfa
(caliph) amongst those known as the Khulaf-ur-Rshidn
1
.

His patronymic (Kunya) is Ab Amr. He

_.

,
is also
known as un-Nran (i.e. Possessor of two Nrs), because the
Noble Prophet

_.

.
,

,
gave two of his honourable
daughters hands in marriage one after the other to the
Honourable Umn Al-Ghan

_.

He

_.

,
embraced Islam at the very advent [of Islam]. He

_.

,
is also known as ib-ul-ijratan (the one who
migrated twice) because firstly he migrated to absha (Ethiopia)
and then to Madna-tul-Munawwara.
Purchased Paradise twice
Amr-ul-Muminn Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghans rank is very
high indeed. In his life, he

_.

,
bought Paradise twice
from the Merciful Prophet

_.

.
,

,
. The first time, he

_.

,
purchased a well called Br-e-Rma from a Jew and
endowed it for the Muslims to drink from it. The second time
was during the Battle of Usrat. The event is narrated in Sunan
Al-Tirmi as follows:
Sayyidun Abd-ur-Ramn bin Khabbb

_.

,
has
narrated, I was present in the blessed court of the Noble
Prophet

_.

.
,

,
who was motivating [the aba

_|

, ,

] for the battle of Tabk. Sayyidun Umn bin

Affn

_.

,
stood up and said, Y Raslull

_.

, ,

,
! I take it upon myself to donate 100 camels along with
saddles and other related provisions. The Beloved and Blessed
Rasl

_.

.
,

,
then resumed his inspirational efforts.
Sayyidun Umn bin Affn

_.

,
stood up again and
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

5
said, Y Raslull

_.

.
,

,
! I bear the responsibility of
contributing 200 camels with all the provisions. The Most
Dignified Prophet

_.

.
,

,
then resumed his motivational
efforts once again. Amr-ul-Muminn Sayyidun Umn Al-
Ghan

,
stood up once again and said, Y Raslull

_.

.
,

,
! I take the responsibility of [donating] 300
camels with all the provisions.
The narrator has further reported: I saw that when Muaf
_.

,
heard this, he

_.

.
,

,
came down from his
refulgent pulpit and declared twice, From today, whatever Umn
(

_.
) does, he will not be held accountable. (Jmi Tirmi,
vol. 5, pp. 391, ad 3720)
Imm-al-Askhiy! Kar do a jaba sakhwat k!
Nikal jey amray dil se ub-be-daulat-e-fn
O our Chief in Generosity! Grant us spirit of generosity
Eliminate from our heart, the love of the things worldly

950 Camels and 50 Horses
Dear Islamic brothers! These days we see some people only
promise to donate when they see others spending in the path
of Allah

.
. However, when the time comes for delivering
the money as per commitment, they find it extremely difficult
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

6
to come through. Some do not even give the amount they
committed. May we be sacrificed on the generosity of the Holy
Prophets beloved, Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,
who gave more
than what he

_.

,
announced initially.
Commenting on the abovementioned ad, Hakmul Umma
Muft Amad Yr Khn

. .

. .

-.

_.

.
has stated, Bear in mind
that this was (only) his announcement but when the time of
delivering came, he

_.

,
gave 950 camels, 50 horses and
1000 Ashrafs (gold coins). Later on, he

_.

,
donated
another 10,000 Ashrafs.
Hakmul Umma Muft Amad Yr Khn

. .

. .

. .

_.

.
has
further stated, Note that he

_.

,
initially committed a 100,
then 200 and then 300 i.e. 600 camels in all. (Mirt-ul Manj,
vol. 8, pp. 395)
Mujay gar mil gay bar-e-sakh k aik b qara

If I get just one drop from the river of generosity
Worthless will be, for all the time to come, the reign and

It is Sunna to raise charitable donations for virtuous cause
Dear Islamic brothers! Some unwise people consider asking
donations for religious affairs a bad act and prevent others [from
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

7
doing so]. Remember! It is impermissible to prevent [someone]
from this righteous act unless justified by the Shara. On page
127 of Fatw Razawyya, Volume 23, replying to a religious
query, Imm Amad Raz Khn

~
has stated, To
collect donations from Muslims for virtuous cause is not a
Bida (innovation); instead, it is proven from the Sunna.
Those who prevent [others] from doing so are addressed in the
following Quranic verse:

One who excessively forbids the good, transgressor, sinner.
(Kanz-ul-mn [translation of Quran]) (Part 29, Al-Qalam, Verse 12)
Sayyidun Jarr

_.

,
has stated, Some people who were
barefoot, partly dressed, wearing just a piece of a blanket slit
from the middle slide over the neck, once came to the Beloved
Prophet

_.

.
,

,
. He

_.

.
,

,
looked at their
destitution and the colour of his refulgent face changed. He

_.

| ,

,
then ordered Sayyidun Bill

_.

,
to call
out An. After al, he

_.

.
,

,
delivered a sermon
in which, after the recitation of an ya, he

_.

| ,

,

said, Some of you should donate adaqa (charity) with their
Ashrafs, some with dinar, some with their clothes, some with a
small amount of their wheat and some with their dry dates. He

_.

, ,

.
said up to the extent, Even if it is half a date.
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

8
Listening to the Prophets announcement, one Anr

_.

,

brought a bag of dinars which was so heavy that his hand got
tired due to carrying it. Then, one after the other, people began
to bring adaqa and two piles of food and clothes were
stocked. I saw that Raslulls resplendent face was glittering
like pure gold because of happiness! And he

_.

.
,

,

said, Whoever originates a good path in Islam, for him there is
its reward (awb); and the reward of all those who follow that
path afterwards is for him (the originator of that path) without
any reduction in the reward of the people (acting upon that
path). (a Muslim, pp. 508, ad 1017)

Commendable compliance of the Sunna

Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

, .

.
was
an ardent follower of the Beloved Prophet

_.

.
,

,
. He
was, in fact, the embodiment of love of the Holy Prophet

_.

,
. Absolute submission to the Sunna manifests in his
words and deeds.
One day Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

, .

.
sat by the
entrance of the Masjid and asked for the meat of the limb of
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

9
goat and consumed it. He, then, offered Salah without redoing
the Wuu and explained that the Noble Prophet

_.

.
,

,

also consumed the same [whilst] sitting on the same place, and
did in the same way. (Musnad Imam Ahmed bin anbal, vol. 1, pp. 137,
ad 441)
Once Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

, .

.
smiled whilst
performing Wuu. The people asked the reason, to which he
replied, Once I saw that the Holy Prophet

_.

. ,

,

smiled having performed Wuu at this very place. (Musnad
Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal, vol. 1, pp. 130, Hadis 415)
Wuu kar k khanda huye Shah-e-Usman
Kaha kiyun tabassum bhala kar raha hun
Jawb-e-suwal-e-mukhatib diy
Kisi ki ada ko ada kar raha hun
Exceptional simplicity in having food
Sayyidun Shurhabil bin Muslim

_.

. ,

.
has reported,
Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

, .

.

would feed the people with lavish food, and he himself would
go home and remain contented with vinegar and olive only.
(Az-Zud lil Imam Ahmed, pp. 155, ad 684)
Never touched genital organ with right hand
Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Usman al-Ghani

_.

, .

.
has
said, The hand by which I committed Baia (spiritual bond)
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

10
in the blessed hands of the Most Noble Prophet

_.

.
,

,
,
I have never touched my genital organ with that (i.e. right
hand) thereafter. (Az-zuhd lil Imam Ahmed, pp. 155, ad 684)
Sayyidun Usman al-Ghani

_.

, .

.
has said, I swear by
Allah

.
! I never committed fornication during the pre-Islamic
era of ignorance nor have I committed it after embracing Islam.
(Ibn Majah, vol. 1, pp. 99)
Strange level of modesty even in privacy
Sayyidun Hasan Basr

_.

, .

.
has mentioned explaining
the extreme modesty of Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Usman
al-Ghani

_.

, .

.
, If he

_.

, .

.
had been in some room
with the door properly shut, even then he would not put off his
clothes for taking the bath nor would he straighten his back
out of modesty. (Hilyat-ul-Auliya, vol. 1, pp. 94, ad 159)
He would always observe fasts
Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Usman al-Ghani

_.

, .

.
would
always observe Nafl (supererogatory) Fasts. Having taken rest
during the initial part of the night, he would stand vigil (for
worship) for the rest of the night. (Muannaf Ibn Ab Shayba, vol. 2, pp. 173)
He would never bother his servant
He

_.

, .

.
was humble to the extent that whenever he would
wake up for Salah of Tahajjud at night, he would himself arrange
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

11
water for [performing] Wuu if no one was awake. He would
never disturb anyones sleep for his personal cause.
Therefore, whenever Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Usman al-
Ghani

_.

, .

.
would get up for offering the Salah of Tahajjud
at night, he would himself arrange water for performing the
Wuu. When it was asked, Why do you bother yourself; let your
servant do it for you, he replied, No, the night is theirs; it is for
their rest. (Ibn-e-Asakir, vol. 39, pp. 236)
He carried a pile of wood
Once Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Usman al-Ghani

_.

| .

.

was coming from his orchard carrying a pile of wood over his
head, even though many of his servants were present and available.
Someone said, Why did you not let your servant carry this pile?
He said, I could have done so, but I am putting my Nafs into trial
whether it can carry it or dislike carrying it. (Al-Luma, pp. 177)
I had twisted your ear
Sayyiduna Usman al-Ghani

_.

, .

.
said to one of his servants,
I had once twisted your ear, so you avenge me for that. (Ar-riad-
un-Nadara, vol. 3, pp. 45)
Tears would well up upon seeing graves
Despite the fact that Amr-ul-Muminn, the Compiler of the
Holy Quran, Sayyidun Usman bin Affan

_.

, .

.
was
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

12
undoubtedly destined to Paradise, yet he would remain unable to
control the tears upon seeing graves. It is mentioned on page 139
of the book, Allah Wlon ki Btayn [the 695-page publication of
Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-
Islami], Whenever Amr-ul-Muminn, Sayyidun Usman al-
Ghani

_.

, .

.
would stand nearby some grave, he would
weep so much that his beard would get drenched with tears.
(Tirmi, vol. 4, pp. 138, ad 2315)
...so I shall prefer to turn to ashes
Sayyidun Usman al-Ghani

_.

| .

.
has stated, If I am made
to stand between Hell and Paradise, and I do not know which
way I will be commanded to move towards, then I would
prefer to turn to ashes before I am commanded to go towards
one of the paths. (Az-zuhd lil Imam Ahmed, pp. 155, ad 686)
Despite the fact that he was undoubtedly destined to Paradise,
yet he said so out of the fear of Allah

.
. His saying is
expressing the fear of the hidden plan of Allah

.
lest I be
given order to move towards Hell instead of Paradise!
Therefore, he expressed a fervent wish to turn to ashes due to
the fear of the torment of Hell.
Kash aisa ho jata khak ban k Taybah ki
Mustafa k qadmaun sai main lipat gaya hota

Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

13
Worrying about the Hereafter produces Nur (light) in
the heart
Sayyidun Usman al-Ghani

_.

, .

.
has said, Worrying about
worldliness brings darkness in the heart, whereas (worrying)
about the Hereafter produces Nur (light) in the heart. (Al-
munabbihat, pp. 4)
Compassion towards Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,

Dear Islamic brothers! How kind was Mustafa
,

_.

.

towards the Compiler of the Holy Quran, Sayyidun Umn Ibn
Affn

,
! Here is a parable in this context. Sayyidun
Abdull bin Salm

_.

,
has stated: When the rebels had
laid siege to the sanctified house of Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,
,
even a single drop of water was not allowed to supply his blessed
home. Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

_.

,
would feel restless
due to severe thirst.
He

_.

,
was observing fast during the day and I went to see
him. He

,
looked at me and said, O! Abdull bin Salm
(
.

_
), I beheld the Noble Prophet
,

_.

.

through
this skylight. The Most Merciful Prophet
,

_.

.
said in
a very sympathetic manner, O Umn (

_.

.
)! These
people have made you restless by thirst blocking the water? I
respectfully replied, Yes. So, the Noble Prophet
,

_.

.

immediately lowered a bucket towards me that was filled with
water. I quenched my thirst. I can still feel the soothing effect of
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

14
that water between both of my breasts and both of my
shoulders.
The Prophet of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the
Most Generous and Kind

_.

.
,

,
then said, O Umn
(

_.

,
)! If you wish, Ill help you against these people; or if
you like you may come to me and break your fast in my
company. I respectfully replied, Y Raslull
,

_.

.
;
breaking my fast in your graceful court is dearer to me.
Sayyidun Abdull bin Salm

_.

,
stated that he

_.

.
returned that day and Sayyidun Umn

_.

,
was
martyred on that same day by the rebels. (Kitb-ul-Manmt, vol. 3,
pp. 74, ad 109)
Shaykh Jall-ud-Dn Suy

. .

. .

...|

,
.

..
|
has narrated that
Shaykh Ibn Bsh (died in 655 A.H.) deduced that this event
(of the sighting of the Noble Prophet

.
,

_.

.
) was not

did not. When they reached near Yemen, they camped at a

When that disrespectful person started performing Wu, his
toes began to transform, then his feet began to resemble those
of a monkey. Then [his legs up to the] knees changed into
those of a monkey; hence, his whole body became like that of a
monkey. Then, his companions bound that monkey-like
insolent person to the saddle of the camel and resumed their
journey.
At sunset, they reached a forest where some monkeys were
gathered, when he saw them, he became restless and broke away to
join them. Then all the monkeys came near both of his
companions, they feared them but the monkeys did not harm
them and that monkey-like person sat beside his companions and
started shedding tears. After an hour when all monkeys went away
from that place, he too left with them. (Shwhid-un-Nubuwwah, p. 203)

Molten lead into the eyes
Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

was a man with spiritual insight, hence he

_.

discovered
by his miraculous vision the sin of that man which was
committed by his eyes, and called his eyes fornicator. Indeed,
to see a Na-Maram woman i.e. a woman with whom marriage
is not arm forever, is a grave violation unless allowed by the
Shara.
It is reported, He who looks lustfully at the beauty of any
woman; molten lead will be poured into his eyes on the Day of
Judgment. (idya, vol. 4, pp. 368)
Fornication by various organs
The Prophet of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the

has stated: Fornication by eyes is to see
arm things. Fornication by ears is to listen to arm and
profane things. Fornication by tongue is to speak arm and
foul conversation, fornication by hands is to touch a Na-
Maram woman, and fornication by foot is to step forward
towards evil things. (Ashiat-ul-Lamt, vol. 1, pp. 100)

Eyes will be filled with fire
It is very important to refrain from casting sinful gazes. By
Allah

Whoever fills his eyes with arm sight; his eyes will be filled
with fire on the Day of Judgment. (Mukshafa-tul-Qulb, p. 10)
An applicator of fire
Here is an incident to reflect upon, for those who watch
movies and television shows, and cast lustful gazes on Na-
Maram women and young attractive boys. Listen! Shaykh Ibn
Jauz

_.

,
has stated: To see the beauty of a woman is
one of the arrows of Ibls among his many arrows loaded with
poison. Whosoever does not protect his eyes from [the sight
of] a Na-Maram; an applicator made of fire will be applied to
his eyes on the Day of Judgment. (Baru-dummu', p. 171)

Definition of Karma (Marvel)
Dear Islamic brothers! It is now clear that Amir-ul-Muminn
Sayyidun Umn Al-Ghan

was a man by virtue of
whom Karma (marvel) would manifest; which is why he

warned that person about his lustful gaze.
Let us understand what Karma is. We will also see the
definitions of Ir, Manat, Istidrj and Inat. These terms
are defined on page 58 of the book, Bar-e-Sharat, Volume 1
published by Maktaba-tul-Madna.
Ir is the occurrence of a wonder atypical to norms through
a Prophet before [the declaration of] his Prophethood. If a
similar atypical wonder occurs through a Wal, then it is called
Karma. It is called Manat if exhibited by a believer. If such
wonder happens in favour of a Kfir (unbeliever) or an open
sinner, then it is termed as Istidrj and if it is against him, then
it is known as Inat.

small swelled lumps in his head that caused him severe
migraine headache. Whenever pain struck, the affected side of
his face turned blue and he tossed about his head restlessly so
much so that it would become unbearable to see him in pain.
One night he had severe pain. We gave him his medicine and
put him to sleep. He was ecstatic the next morning. He told that
he had been blessed by Allah

Son, you will feel trouble no more. The narrator has said that
the Islamic brother was healed completely.
After the journey, he got [his condition] examined again and the
doctor astonishingly said, Brother, it is a miracle that the lumps
in your head have vanished. Upon this, he sentimentally
mentioned the details of the Madan Qfila and the blessed
dream. This had a profound impact on the doctor. Twelve
people, including doctors of that hospital made an intention to
travel in Madan Qfila for 12 days. Some of the doctors also
made an intention to adorn their face with the beard, the symbol
of love of the Beloved Prophet

14 Madan pearls regarding handshake
1. It is a Sunna for two Muslims who greet each other to do
handshake using both the hands.
2. Make Salam before handshake.
3. Also make Salam when you depart and handshake is also
permissible.
4. The Most Dignified Prophet

_.

has stated,
When two Muslims shake the hands while greeting with
each other and ask about each others well-being, then Allah

.
sends down hundred blessings between both of them,
out of which, ninety nine blessings are [descended] for the
one who greets more cheerfully and asks about the well-
being of his brother more courteously. (Al Mujam-ul-Awsat, vol.
5, pp. 380, ad 7672)
5. Recite alt-Alan-Nabi during the handshake, the sins of
the future and the past will be forgiven before the hands
separate,

_ |

.` ...

.
.
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

6. If possible recite the following supplication also during the
handshake having recited alt-Alan-Nabi:

i.e. May Allah

.

forgive me and you!
7. The supplication that two Muslims make during the
handshake will be answered

| |

.` ...

.
and they will be
blessed with forgiveness before the hands separate,

| |

.` ...

.
.
8. To shake the hands with each other eliminates the enmity.
9. To make Salam, to do handshake and to look at a Muslim
brother out of affection are acts of Sawb (reward). It is
mentioned in a ad, Any Muslim who looks at his
Muslim brother out of affection, and he has no envy for
him, then the past sins of both of them will be forgiven
before his sight is over. (Bahar-e-Sharat, vol. 3, pp. 472)
10. One can shake the hands no matter how many times he
meets [with the other].
11. Nowadays, some people do handshake using one hand only, or
by just touching the fingers; all this is contrary to the Sunna.
12. It is a Makru to kiss ones own hand after the handshake.
(Al Mujam-ul-Awsa, vol. 6, pp. 131, ad 8251) (Islamic brothers
should abstain from kissing their own palms after the
handshake.) However, if one kisses his hand for the sake of
getting blessings after handshake with some saintly person,
then it is not Makru. Ala Harat

_.

,
has stated: If
one shakes hands with some person and kisses his own
Marvels of Umn Al-Ghan

31
hand after the handshake for the sake of the blessings, then
it is not prohibited provided that the concerned person is
amongst those dignitaries, from whom the blessings are
expected. (Jad-dul-Mumtr, saying 4551)
13. If handshake with an Amrad (an attractive lad) or with any
person breeds lust, then it is not permissible to shake the
hands with him. If the sight also breeds lust, then looking at
him is also sin. (Bahar-e-Shari at, vol. 3, pp. 471)
14. The proper Sunna method of hand shaking is that there
should be no hindrance of handkerchief etc. in between;
both hands should be bare and palm of one should make
contact with that of the other. (Dur-re-Mukhtr, vol. 2, pp. 98)
In order to learn thousands of Sunna, go through the books: (1)
Bahar-e-Sharat, the 312-page publication, and (2) Sunnatayn
aur Aadab, the 120-page publication, published by Maktaba-tul-
Madinah. One of the effective ways of learning the Sunnan is to
travel in the Sunna-inspiring Madan Qfilas with devotees of
Raslallah
