Remember! Making claims of having love towards the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not sufficient at all for pursuing the pleasure of the most Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, rather, it entails the great respect and reverence of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم as well, otherwise showing any kind of contempt towards them may displease the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

‘Allamah Yusuf Bin Isma’eel Nabhaani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه quotes a narration of Abu ‘Ali Qahtaan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه: In my dream, I found myself in the Jaami’ Masjid Sharqiyah, I saw the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم accompanied by two men, I did not know them; I humbly said Salam in the court of Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم but he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not respond; I humbly said, ‘O Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! I send Durood upon you in such and such quantity and you have not replied to my Salam?’ The Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘You do send Durood upon me but you show contempt towards my blessed companions.’ I humbly said, ‘O Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I seek forgiveness on your blessed hand, I would not do this again.’ The most Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then responded to my Salaam: ‘وَعَلَيۡكَ السَّلَامُ وَرَحۡمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهٗ’.

بَہرِ صِدّیق و عُمَر عُثماں علی                کیجئے رَحمت اے نانائے حُسین

سب صَحابہ کا وَسیلہ سیِّدا               کیجئے رَحمت اے نانائے حُسین
