Join The Beloved With His Beloved...

Before his passing, Sayyiduna Siddiq Al-Akbar (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu) had made the following will: ‘Take my body in front of the enlightened tomb of the Embodiment of Noor, the Comforter of the Souls, the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and then, after humbly saying, "AsSalamu Alayka Ya RasoolAllah" say, ‘Ya RasoolAllah! Abu Bakr is present in your eminent court.’ If the door opens, take the body inside; otherwise bury the body in Jannat al-Baqi’.’

Thus, as Imam Raazi (May Allah shower His mercy on him) relates:

According to the will, the body was placed in front of the enlightened tomb and it was said ‘AsSalamu Alayka Ya Rasool Allah... Abu Bakr is present.’ As soon as this had been said, the lock of the door opened themselves and a voice was heard saying:

‘Join the beloved with his beloved, Verily! the beloved is longing for his beloved.’
