Miracle of the Saints 8

Muhammad Ibn Abdur Rahman Saqaf

Muhammad Ibn Abdur Rahman Saqaf was once invited for a meal by a woman. Saqaf ate very little of the food placed before him then vomited what he had eaten as well. He then remarked referring to the food, “This is stolen!” The woman consented she had stolen it out of her husbands possessions. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)

Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Mola Dawaila

Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Mola Dawaila had a daughter. She once fell off a camel on a place where the ground was extremely rough. At the time Mola Dawaila was in the town. His companions noticed him catching something tightly. They questioned him with regards to this. He explained my daughter Uloowiya has just fallen from a camel I held on to her to prevent her touching the ground. Later it was ascertained that although the young girl had fallen she had not injured herself at all Later the young girl would say, “When I fell I lost consciousness. In this state I saw my father take me into his lap and place me gently onto the ground”. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)

Muhammad Ibn Ali Yusuf Al Ashkal Al Yemeni

Muhammad Ibn Ali Yusuf Al Ashkal Al Yemeni was a great saint. Abu Bakr Klash says I once said to him I would like to witness some of your miracles. At my request Muhammad Ibn Ali raised his index finger and the one adjoining it. One finger shone with fire and the other had water surging from it. He said, “Oh Abu Bakr have you seen?” I said, “Yes!” He closed both of his fingers. (Jame’ Karamaatul Auliya)

Abu Ishaq Al Ajri

Ibrahim Al Ajri relates a Jew came to Abu Ishaq Al Ajri asking for some money, which was owedto him for bamboo. While they were together they struck up a conversation. The Jew said “Show me something through which I may recognise the superiority of Islam over my religion, if I am convinced then I may embrace Islam.” Abu Ishaq asked, “Will you really become a Muslim?” The Jew answered in the affirmative. Abu Ishaq asked for the Jew to give him his cloak. He took his cloak and wrapped it inside his own then threw it into a burning oven. Some time later he took it out. The outer cloak belonging to Abu Ishaq was completely as it was before it had been placed in the oven but the cloak belonging to the Jew although it had been wrapped inside Abu Ishaq’s was burnt black. On seeing this the Jew embraced Islam.
