قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللہُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّم : اِنَّ النَّظْرَةَ سَهْمٌ مِنْ سِهَامِ إِبْلِيْسَ مَسْمُوْم مَنْ تَرَكَهَا مَخَافَتِي اَبْدَلْتُهُ اِيْمَانًا يَجِدُ حَلَاوَتَهُ فِي قَلْبِه

(Whilst conveying Allah’s message,) The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Sinful gaze is indeed a poison-soaked arrow from the arrows of Satan. Whosoever abandons it out of fear of Me, I will grant him such faith, the sweetness of which he will feel in his heart.”^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه What a beautiful good deed this is. Through its blessings, we will avoid misusing our eyes and looking at haram. We will also gain the glad tidings mentioned in the hadith, regarding sweetness of faith in our hearts. We ought to act upon this pious deed and also travel with other devotees of Allah’s Messenger in Madani qafilahs.

Cure in the soil of the grave

The accomplished scholar Samhūdi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه writes, “The soil of Sayyidunā Ḥamzah’s grave contains cure. It has long been the practice of the pious to take soil from his resting place and use it as medicine.”^[2]

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه The Amir of Ahl al-Sunnah, Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ applies the blessed soil from the shrine of Sayyidunā  Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ to his eyes.

May Allah grant us love and respect for the honourable Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ.

اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم
