Hazrat Hanzalah Ibn Hizyam r.a

Hanzalah Ibn Hizyam

Hanzalah Ibn Hizyam reported; with my father Hizyam, I went to Nabi (SAW). My father said “Oh Messenger of Allah! I have had many bearded sons and there are others also beside them”. Indicating towards me he said, “this one is my youngest” Nabi (SAW) seated me near himself and passing his hand over my head said, “May Allah most High bestow plentitude upon you.”

The narrator Zayyal says, “I saw Hadhrat Hanzalah, if men had swelling on their faces or a goat had swelling at its udders they were brought before him. He would place his own hand where Nabi (SAW) had passed his, say Bismillah and pass his hand over the swollen area. In this way the swelling would disappear. (Hayatus Sahabah) ‘
