Hadhrat A’la Bin Hazrami

Hadhrat Abu Huraira stated: “When the Holy Prophet (SAW) sent Hadhrat A’la bin Hazrami to Bahrain. I too followed him. I observed three things from him I don’t know which of the three was the most strangest.

Firstly when we reached the seashore, he told us to take Allah’s name and enter. Accordingly we took Allah’s name and entered the sea. We crossed it in a manner that the soles of our camel’s hooves were not wet.

Secondly we returned and walked with him through a jungle, we had no water. We complained of thirst. He said two rakaaats namaz

and then prayed to Allah. Suddenly a cloud the size of a shield appeared and rained upon us. We drank from this water and watered our camels.

Lastly when he passed away, we buried him in sand. After the burial we had walked on a distance when talking amongst ourselves we feared that wild beasts of prey might come across his body. When we returned we found the grave was no longer there.

Another tradition has the addition that when the Kisra Ibn Muk’aber saw us, he said “By God we will not face them” therefore he boarded his boat and headed for Persia. (Hayatus Sahabah)

Orwatul A’ana, slave of Bani Sa’d stated that Abu Raihana embarked on a voyage. He was from amongst the companions of Nabi (SAW) and was a tailor by profession. One day his needle fell into the sea. So he said: “Oh Lord. I beg of you that you return my needle to me as I am in great need of it”. Hence the needle appeared at the surface of the sea and he picked it up.
