Sayed al Ja’eedi

Shaykh Abu Hasan al Kati says, a day before Sayed Ja’eedi passed away he was as fit as a
fiddle. There was no indication of illness on his body. Hadhrat Sayed Ja’eedi went out amongst the people saying, “I have come to bid you farewell for I am to embark on a journey”. In this manner Hadhrat busied himself for the remainder of the day meeting the rest of the people. Nobody had realised that by journey Hadhrat was referring to the eventual journey. The next day by the grace of Almighty Allah he passed away to his final abode. Only then did the masses come to understand that Hadhrat Sayed Ja’eedi had been referring to the journey of death. (Jame’ Karamaat ul Auliya

Habib Ibn Sahban stated, that Hujr bin Adi exclaimed, “What! A drop of water has prevented you from crossing over to the enemies”, by a drop Hujr was referring to the River Tigris. “It is merely the Tigris. No self has the power to die without the command of Allah. The time has already been ordained”. He then proceeded with his horse into the River Tigris. When he went in others followed with their horses. The enemies saw them and cried out “they are intoxicated jinn”, and all of them fled. (Hayatus Sahabah)
