3. A’la Hazrat and acting upon Ahadith

Dear Islamic brothers, ponder! What great expertise our master A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه had in the science of Hadith! What passion he had in reading, memorising, recording and conveying Ahadith to others. May Allah Almighty grant us all the blessings of A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Let us hear about A’la Hazrat’s approach to acting upon the prophetic Ahadith.

Tawaf of the Ka’bah in the rain

When my master A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه arrived in al-Makkah al-Mukarramah for his second Hajj pilgrimage, he fell very ill. He was affected by illness for many days. In the final days of Muharram al-Haraam, his health improved. When he came out from the bathroom, he saw rain clouds in the sky and hurried to the noble Haram. On his arrival at the blessed Masjid al-Haram, it had begun to rain. A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states, “I remembered the hadith, ‘The one who performs tawaf in the rain swims in the mercy of Allah Almighty.’”

Just remembering the blessed statement of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم made his heart leap in joy. In order to attain the virtue mentioned in the noble Hadith, A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه went immediately to the al-Hajar al-Aswad, kissed it and began to perform tawaf in the rain.
