Grief over death

‘Allamah Qaari Muhammad Muslihuddin Siddeeqi Qaadiri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: I was privileged to visit the shrine of Sayyiduna Shah ‘Aalam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه with the author of Bahar-e-Shari’at, Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, Maulana Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. We went under both planks (it is famous that Du’as are answered there). When we completed our Du’as I humbly asked my spiritual guide, Sadr-ush-Shari’ah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه: Your highness [Huzoor]! What Du’a did you make? He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied: To be able to perform Hajj every year. I realized that the motive of his Du’a would be to perform Hajj until he was alive, but this Du’a was well answered; he intended to perform Hajj the very same year and went to Bombay from his province Madina-tul-‘Ulama Ghosi (district Azam Garh India) in order to board the ship for sacred Madinah. But he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه suffered pneumonia over there and before boarding the ship on 6^th September, 1948 (1327 AH, on the 2^nd night of Zul-Qa’da-til-Haraam) at 12:26 departed this life. اِنَّا لِلّٰہِ وَ اِنَّاۤ اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْن

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestow His Divine blessings on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake! Aameen
