called “Raabigh” after three days via Jeddah. From there, he رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه rode upon a camel to go to Madina-e-Munawwarah. During this journey, when he رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه reached “Beer-e-Sheikh” [بیرِ شیخ], then destination was nearby but very less time was left for Fajr Salah.

The camel owners decided to stop the camels at the destination. But by then, there was a risk that the time of Fajr would pass. Seeing this situation, A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stopped there with his companions and the caravan left.

He رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had a canvas bucket but did not have a rope, and the well was quite deep as well. Therefore, they tied it with their turbans and drew water out of the well. Then they performed Wudhu and offered Salah within its due time. Now, they were worried that due to being ill for so long, he رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had become very weak. How would he رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه walk for so many miles? When he رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه turned his face, he saw a stranger camel rider waiting. He رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه thanked Allah Almighty and rode upon it. (Malfuzaat-e-A'la Hazrat, pp. 217)

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                      صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہ, o devotees of Imam Ahmad Raza! This is the passion of Salah and worship of A’la Hazrat. Despite being ill for months, severe weakness and bearing the hardships of the journey, he رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه left the caravan but did not leave the most superior act of worship, i.e. Salah. We shall punctually offer Salah on every occasion, whether it is an occasion of happiness or sorrow. Moreover, those who do not know how to offer Salah shall not feel embarrassed at all in learning it. Those who know how to offer Salah but do not offer due to falling prey to the satanic whispers such as “I am a grave sinner. I am not worthy of presenting myself in the court of Allah Almighty.” or “Let me become pious first. Let me grow a beard first. Then I will start offering Salah”, such people should remove such satanic whispers straightaway and start offering Salah. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ due to its blessings, they will succeed in refraining from sins. Allah Almighty says in Part 21, Surah Al-‘Ankaboot, Ayah No. 45:
