travel for Hajj this year.” With the utmost respect, I said, “O my master! I do not have enough money to travel.” In reply, he explained, “Dig such-and-such part of your home; your grandfather’s armour is there.” After saying this, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم departed.

Upon awakening, I was extremely happy, and after offering Fajr salah, I began to dig in the exact place specified to me by the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. I came across valuable armour there. It was so dazzlingly clean; it looked as though nobody had ever used it. I sold this armour for 4000 dinars, and I thanked Allah Almighty after doing so. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه Through the merciful gaze of the beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the means to perform Hajj fell into place themselves.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers, look at the endless generosity of the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He helped his true devotee and alleviated him of his difficulties in the most beautiful of manners. Not only this, but he granted his devotee the permission to visit Madinah al-Munawwarah, appeared in his dreams, and gifted him travel expenses for Hajj.

This incident also highlights the knowledge of the unseen possessed by the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, which was bestowed upon him by Allah Almighty. Not only did he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم inform his devotee precisely where the armour was buried, but also told him whom it belonged to!

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
