The Miracles of the Nabi Pakﷺ – part 28

His Du’â’ for ‘Abdur-Rahmân bin ‘Auf:

When ‘Abdur-Rahmân bin ‘Auf came to alMadinah, the Prophet joined he and Sa’d Ibn ArRabî’ as brothers. Anas, the noble companion narrates what happened: “…. Sa’d said to ‘AbdurRahmân: “O brother, I am the richest of all the Ansâr, so I want to divide my wealth (between us). And I have two wives, so choose the one you like better and I’ll divorce her, and when she finishes her prescribed period (i.e. ‘Iddah), then marry her”. ‘Abdur-Rahmân then said: “May Allah bless your family and your property for you. Where is the market?” So, they showed him the Qainuqâ’ market. (He went there and) returned with a profit in the form of dried yogurt and butter. He continued going (to the market) till one day he came, bearing the traces of yellow scent. The Prophet asked: “What is this (scent)?” He replied : “I got married.” The Prophet asked: “How much dowry did you give her?” He replied: “I gave her a date-stone weight of gold or a golden date-stone.” The Prophet said to him: “Make a Walîmah (wedding meal), even with one sheep. then
for him when he met him and said: “May Allâh bestow His Blessing on you. Make a Walîmah (wedding meal), even with one sheep”⁹.

The Du’a’ of the Prophet was answered, as his buying and selling was blessed and successful, and he was very fortunate in his trade, so that he once said: “If I lift up a stone, I find silver and gold under it. “}

His Du’a’ for Abû ‘Aqîl:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrates on the authority of Abû ‘Aqîl, who said that: “His grandfather, ‘Abdullâh bin Hishâm used to take him from the market or to the market (the narrator is in doubt) and used to buy grain and when Ibn Az-Zubair and Ibn ‘Umar met him, they would say to him: “Let us be your partners (in trading) as the Prophet invoked Allâh’s blessing upon you.” He would then take them as partners and he would sometimes gain a whole load carried by an animal, which he would send home. “70

His Du’a’ is answered concerning the spread of Islâm in Persia, Syria and Yemen:

Abû Dawûd at-Tiâlisî narrated on the authority of Zaid Ibn Thâbit who said: “The Prophet looked towards Yemen and said: “O Allâh! Make their hearts turn to us (i.e. to embrace Islâm).” And then looked towards Syria and said: “O Allâh! Make their hearts turn to us.” And then he looked towards Iraq and said: “”O Allah! Make their hearts turn to us, and give blessings in our Sâ’ and our Mudd (measures symbolizing food)”. And so it happened, as the people of Yemen embraced Islâm before those of Syria, and the latter promised to continue on the right path and support Islâm till the Day of Judgment.
