Let’s listen to 3 more Madani pearls in the light of Ahadees regarding the blessings in sustenance and economic progress:

Spiritual cures for the blessings in sustenance

1.         The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Whoever made Istighfar necessary upon him, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will remove every of his worry and bestow upon him comfort from each deprivation and will grant him sustenance from a place he would never imagine. (Ibn Majah, Hadees 3819)

It is stated in Malfuzaat A’la Hadrat: A blessed companion (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) came to the court of the Beloved Rasool (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) and humbly said: The world has turned its back on me. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Have you not memorized the Tasbih which is the Tasbih of angels, and sustenance is given by its blessings? The world will come to you, disgraced. As the time of Fajr starts, say: سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ وَبِحَمۡدِهٖ سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ وَبِحَمۡدِهٖ اَسۡتَغۡفِرُ اللّٰه hundred times.

After seven days, the same blessed companion رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ came again and humbly said, ‘Your Majesty! The world has come to me so abundantly that I am amazed how I pick it up and how I keep it [i.e. I have got so many worldly things that I find it difficult to look after all of them]. (Malfuzaat A’la Hadrat, pp. 128)

Sayyiduna Sahl Bin Sa’d رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated: A person complained about his poverty and indigence in the blessed court of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The Rasool of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘When you enter your home, say Salam to your family and if there is nobody at home, pay Salam on me and recite Surah Al-Ikhlas once.’ That man did so and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ blessed him with such an enormous wealth that he also served his neighbours and relatives.
