In the summer of 1300 AH, when A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was 27 years and some months old, he had to constantly study some books with very small writing due to some research. Because of this continuous effort, his eyes were affected. One day, whilst he was engaged in his academic work, during the afternoon, he felt hot, and so he took a bath. As soon as he poured water over his head, it felt as if something descended from his head into his eye. 

Later, he had his eye examined by a proficient physician.  After a detailed examination, the physician said, “Your eye has become dry due to excessive study. You should not study any book for 15 days.” However, an individual like A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه from whom people across the world are asking for solutions to their question and requesting fatawa is being told by a doctor not to read any books for 15 days, but A’la Hazrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه cannot leave studying for even 15 minutes! Nonetheless, a hakim examined his eye and said, “There are signs of oedema. May Allah Almighty not make it so, but after 20 years due to cataract, the eyesight may be lost.”

Outwardly, this seemed a very worrying matter; books could not be left, writing had to continue, otherwise who would give the Ummah religious guidance? Allah Almighty forbid, if a problem developed with the eyesight, this too would be very painful.

اللہُ اَکْبَر! In times of difficulty, where is the attention of a true devotee of the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ? سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! There is only one place of mercy where servants turn for refuge in this world.

The imam of the devotees of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم took refuge with the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .  A hadith came to mind that whoever saw an afflicted person and recited this supplication:
