Reward of patience during the visit to Madinah

Dear Islamic brothers! During the blessed journey of Madinah, our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی used to consider the troubles and hardship as a means of privilege for them. A renowned commentator, a great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه enjoyed the privilege of going for Hajj in 1390 AH. In this regard, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, relating a faith-refreshing parable of the pilgrimage to Madinah Munawwarah: I slipped and fell over in Madinah Munawwarah, causing my right wrist bone to break; when the pain increased, I kissed the wrist and said: O the pain of Madinah! Stay in my heart as I have found you from the blessed court of the beloved.

تِرا دَرد میرا دَرماں تِرا غم مِری خوشی ہے     مجھے دَرد دینے والے تری بندہ پَروَرِی ہے

Mufti Sahib further stated: The pain had relieved that time but my wrist did not work properly. I had the X-ray of my wrist after 17 days from the Royal Hospital; the X-ray report revealed that the wrist bone broke into two pieces which had much gap in between but I did not go under any medical treatment, then the hand gradually started working. Upon this, a doctor of Madinah Munawwarah named Doctor Isma’eel said that it was a real miracle because the hand would not move from the medical point of view. I have still got that X-ray with me; the bone is still broken; I am writing Tafseer (commentary) with this broken hand; the only treatment I took of my broken hand was that I stood at the blessed and sacred Raudah and humbly requested that Your Highness! My hand is broken; O the one who joined the broken shin of ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Ateek (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ)! O the one who joined the broken arm of Mu’aaz Bin ‘Afra (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ)! Please join my broken hand. (Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, vol. 9, pp. 388)

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you observed the great Madani mindset of our pious predecessors that they would not only face the trials and tribulations with a cheerful appearance and a smiling face but would also consider these troubles a privilege for them as the abovementioned parable evidently illustrates that Mufti Sahib رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه suffered a severe wrist bone fracture but instead of crying and wailing he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه presumed the pain as a sign   of reward for him on behalf of the blessed court of the Rasool of Rahmah
