The Blessings of sacred presence of Beloved Mustafa

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used to graze the goats along with his foster brother. One day the foster brother of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم humbly said to his mother: O honourable mother! When my Hijazi (from Hijaz) brother puts his blessed steps into any dry valley, it restores its greenery and fertility. When he gets at well to make the goats drink water, water itself comes up to the brim. When he sleeps, the beasts approach him and kiss his feet and whenever he sleeps in the sun-shine, cloud makes shade upon him during the heat of sun. Listening to this, Sayyidah Halimah Sa’diyah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا said: O my son! Take care of your brother. (Ar-Raud-ur-Faaiq, pp. 303)

تِری صُورت تِری سیرت زمانے سے نرالی ہے

تِری ہر ہر ادا پیارے دلیلِ بے مثالی ہے

بشر ہو یا مَلَک جو ہے تِرے در کا سوالی ہے

تری سرکار والا ہے ترا دربار عالی ہے

Blessings in the home of Abu Taalib

When ‘Abu Taalib’, the uncle of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم took the responsibility of raising the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, loads of blessings and bounties begin to shower on his home. Abu Taalib said: Before the arrival of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, when my children would eat, they would not satiate but since the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم joined them, all children would become satiated. So, I would not serve food to my children until the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would come; similarly, when it is the time of drinking milk, I would start from the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم thereafter my children would drink milk, and if any of my sons would drink milk at first, he would himself finish the whole bowl. Seeing this, Abu Taalib
