Once, Aala Ḥazrat (Rehmatullahi Ta’ala Alayh) was invited to a religious gathering in some area of Bareilly Shareef. The devotees arranged a palanquin for comfortable travelling. Aala Ḥazrat (Rehmatullahi Ta’ala Alayh)got onto the palanquin. Four laborers picked it up on their shoulders and started to walk. After they had moved just a few steps, Aala Ḥazrat (Rehmatullahi Ta’ala Alayh) called out: “Stop the palanquin.”
The palanquin stopped.
He (Rehmatullahi Ta’ala Alayh) got off immediately and asked the laborers humbly: “Tell me
truthfully which one of you is a Sayyid? I feel the fragrance of the Exalted
Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him).”
Stepping forward, one of
the laborers said, “I am a Sayyed.”
No sooner had he
completed his sentence, than the Great
Mujaddid (Revivalist of
Islam) of the era, Aala Ḥazrat (Rehmatullahi Ta’ala Alayh) took off his Holy
Turban and put it at the feet of the Sayyed. Then, He (Rehmatullahi Ta’ala
Alayh) implored whilst tears trickling from his eyes, “Honorable prince!
Forgive this mistake of mine. I have unintentionally made this blunder. Oh how
dreadful! I took ride on the shoulders of the prince whose blessed slippers are
the majestic crown of my head.
If, on the Day of Judgment,
the Exalted Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him) asked me, “O Ahmad Raza!
Were the delicate shoulders of my son for bearing the burden of your palanquin?”
then what reply would I give and such a great insult it would be to my claim of
adoration for the Exalted Prophet (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him) .
After obtaining verbal
forgiveness from the prince several times,
Aala Ḥazrat (Rehmatullahi
Ta’ala Alayh) expressed his last desire saying, “Dear prince! The only way to
compensate for what I have done unknowingly is that now you sit in the
palanquin and I would carry it on my shoulders.”
Upon hearing this,
people’s eyes welled up in tears and some of them even screamed emotionally.
Despite his repeated
refusal, the laboring prince had to get on the palanquin. What a heart-rending scene it was! The Grand
Imam of the Ahl-e-Sunnah sacrificed
the glory of his divinely knowledge and worldwide fame at the feet of an
unknown laborer (prince) for the sake of pleasure of the Exalted Prophet (Peace
and Blessings be Upon Him)
SUBHANALLAH
May Allah (Subhanahu
Wa Ta’ala) have mercy on him and may he forgive us for his sake.
Aameen, Allahumma Aameen
