Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Muhammad Sahib Murbath
Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Muhammad Sahib Murbath had a servant in Africa; he had gone on a long journey. During his separation from his family they were informed that he had died. Upset and worried the family approached the saint who for a short while lowered his head upon hearing the news, then said, “He is not dead”. The family again said, “But we have been informed of his death”. Muhammad replied, “I have been and had a look in Paradise and did not find him residing there, and my disciples do not enter hell”. After this news came of the servant being alive and later he returned to his family.
On a separate occasion he gave the news that Baghdad would be flooded. Hence the River Dajla rose to terrifying heights and the water entered the city. The homes of the governors, khalifa, the treasury and 330 houses were destroyed, and much of the population were also crushed or drowned. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)
Saleh Abid Ibn Abil Hasan
Shaykh Saleh Abid Ibn Abil Hasan says that one year I set out for Hajj with my parents. When we reached the land of Arabia the caravan was moving one night but fatigue overcame me. I moved to one side and thought I would rest for a short while then resume the journey and meet the caravan. I fell asleep and was oblivious to everything until the sun rose and I awoke. I didn’t understand how to go forward. I was worried for myself then the worry of my parents overcame me, as I knew that apart from me there was nobody with them to see to their needs. All these thoughts clouded my mind and I began to cry. I was still crying when I heard a voice questioning, “Are you not of the companions of Abu Bakr Ibn Quawam?” I said, “Yes I am”. He told me to pray to Allah; your prayer will be answered. I began praying as he had ordered me to do so. By Allah I had not completed my prayer when I realised a man stood beside me. He said to me, “Do not be worried” and placed his hand upon my arm. He walked with me for a short while and then said, “This is the camel belonging to your mother and father”. I instantly recognised their voices as they were crying for me. I comforted them and related my whole incident to them. Once in one of Shaykhs gatherings a Soldier entered and said “Hadhrat, I had a mule carrying
5000 dirham, but it has been taken away from me. People have sent me to you for help”.
The Shaykh asked the man to sit down and said, “By Allah I have made the whole earth tight on the man who is responsible for the disappearance of your mule apart from the door of this house. He will find nowhere to go apart from the door of this house; you will find him coming this way anytime now. When he arrives and sits down I will signal to you, for you to stand and take your mule and belongings”. A witness to the incident says when I heard this statement of the Shaykh I thought I also will not move from this place until I see this man arrive. So we sat in anticipation, suddenly the man appeared and the Shaykh signalled to the man to collect his belongings. When he got up to retrieve his possessions the witness says we also rose from our seats, and lo and behold we found the mule and money at the door where their owner collected them.
