A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه went to perform Hajj second time at the age of 52. After performing the Hajj rites he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه fell ill in such a way that he remained in bed for more than two months due to the illness. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه recovered to some extent, he got ready to visit the luminous Raudah and reached Rabigh after three days passing through Jeddah by a boat and then hired the conveyance of a camel to Madina-tul-Rasool. On the way, when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه reached Bair-e-Shaykh; his destination was near, but there was a little time for Fajr. The camel drivers decided to stop their camels at the destination, but until then the time of Fajr Salah had passed. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: Having examined this situation my companions and I got off the camels and the caravan left. We had a canvas bucket, but no rope and the well was deep. We took the water out by tying many ‘Imamahs together with the bucket and then performed Wudu and offered Salah بِحَمْدِ اللہ تَعَالٰی. Now I was worried as to how I would walk so many miles because I had become very weak due to being ill for such a long time. As I turned my face I saw a strange camel driver standing with his camel waiting for me. I thanked to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and mounted it. People asked him how he brought the camel there. He replied that he was urged by Shaykh Husain to leave no stone unturned in serving A’la Hadrat. When we travelled a bit, I found that my camel driver was standing with his camel. When he was asked he replied: When the camel drivers of the caravan did not stop I thought that it would hurt the Shaykh that’s why I untied a camel from the caravan and brought it back here. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: All these are the favours of my Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, otherwise there was a great difference between me, the chief of Rabigh, Shaykh Husain, who I did not know, and the camel drivers, who were short-tempered, and their unusual manners i.e., they respected me a lot.

Dear Islamic sisters! سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Have you noticed A’la Hadrat’s yearning for worship that he despite being ill for months and very weak and being carefree of every kind of troubles left the caravan, but did not miss Salah ‘اَفضَلُ العِبادات’ ‘the most superior worship’. Moreover, whenever he was able to stand, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would offer Salah by standing. If his body did not have the energy, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would perform Qiyam, Ruku’ and Sujood with the
