Samandari Gumbad | Oceanic Dome
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ sent a revelation to Sayyidunā Sulaymān عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام ordering him to go to the seashore and observe an act of His omnipotence. Sayyidunā Sulaymān عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام went there along with his companions but did not notice anything. Therefore, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام ordered a jinn to dive into the ocean and bring information from the inside. The jinn dived into the ocean. After he came out, he said, ‘I could not reach the seabed; nor could I see anything.’ He عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام gave the order to another more powerful jinn who dived twofold deeper than the first jinn but could not also dig up any information. Then he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام gave the order to his minister Āṣif Bin Barkhiyā رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه.
Very shortly, Āṣif Bin Barkhiyā رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه produced a grand camphoric, four-door, white coloured oceanic dome in the blessed court of Sayyidunā Sulaymān عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام. One of its doors was made of pearls; the other was of rubies, the third was of diamonds and the fourth one was made of emeralds. Despite all of its four doors being open, there was not a single drop of water in the oceanic dome. Inside it was a handsome young man, dressed up in neat and clean clothes, busy offering Ṣalāĥ. After he completed his Ṣalāĥ, Sayyidunā Sulaymān عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام said Salām to him and enquired about the secret of the oceanic dome. He humbly replied: O Prophet of Allah (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام)! My father was disabled and my mother was visually-impaired [i.e. blind]. I served them for seventy years, اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ. My mother prayed for me at the time of her death, ‘O Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ)!
