Wait in the court of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

On 25^th Safar-ul-Muzaffar (1340 A.H.), a Syrian scholar dreamed in Bayt-ul-Muqaddas that Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن was present in the grand court of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; the Holy Prophet’s Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم and Awliya were also present and there was utter silence. It seemed as if they were waiting for someone. The Syrian scholar humbly asked the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘Ya Rasoolallah
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! May my parents be sacrificed on you! Who is being awaited?’ The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘We are waiting for Ahmad Raza.’ The scholar asked, ‘Who is Ahmad Raza?’ The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘He is a native of Bareilly in India.’ When the saint awoke, he immediately journeyed from Syria to Bareilly Sharif to meet A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, but to his dismay, he learnt that A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had passed away on the same day (i.e. 25^th Safar, 1340 A.H.) when he dreamt of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم waiting for ‘Ahmad Raza.’
