Miracle of the Saints 2

Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ma’roof

Munadi says that Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ma’roof was blessed with such a miracle that when he felt the necessity for ghusl (bath) but didn’t have water, a cloud would stand and pour rain over him so that he could complete his ghusl. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Hussain

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Hussain, student of Imam Shafi, once visited a butchers shop in order to purchase some meat. The butcher ignored the Shaykh and went away. As he did the butcher’s hand was paralysed and was no longer any use for cutting meat. Upon realisation he ran to the Shaykh as he remembered disregarding his custom, crying, “Oh Shaykh please do not hold me accountable for that which I have committed, I repent before the Almighty, please pray for me that my hand be returned to me.” Abu Abdullah prayed and the use of the butcher’s hand was restored.

When he would attend his Jumu’a prayer Muhammad Ibn Abdullah would draw a circle around his flock of sheep. Until he returned not one sheep would stray out of the circle nor would any animal be able to enter it to cause them harm. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)

Muhammad Ibn Ismail Maghribi

Muhammad Ibn Ismail Maghribi was Shaykh to Ibrahim Khwas. He stated I have never seen darkness i.e. the night shone brightly in his eyes, as did the day. Hence Muhammad would walk before his companions during the night directing them on which way to proceed so that they wouldn’t walk into anything. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)

Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Boolaqi

Once a lady with her child went towards the sea. There she encountered a boat of Ethiopian people; they snatched her child from her and left. The lady beside herself approached Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Boolaqi as he came out from his place of worship. She informed him how the Ethiopians in the boat had kidnapped her child and asked for his help

proceeded towards the sea and commanded the wind to stop blowing. By the will of Allah the wind stopped and the boat slowed down. Shaykh then called out to the travellers on the boat, “Hand this child back to its mother”. The travellers refused to do so and began sailing their boat on. He then ordered the boat to stop. The boat came to a standstill. Shaykh proceeded to walk across the water, reclaimed the child and returned him to his mother. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)

Abu Bakr Muhammad Maliki

Abu Bakr Muhammad Maliki once passed by a woman who was paralysed. She in a begging manner asked if he in the name of Allah had anything to give her. He replied that he had no material or worldly wealth that he might bestow upon her but asked her to forward her hand towards him. She had barely shuffled towards him when suddenly she stood up and began walking. She had been relieved of all paralysis. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)
