Shaykh Aḥmad رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه replied, “O noble one! How will I go? I do not have money for the journey, and my camel has perished too.” The person took Shaykh Aḥmad, proceeded to an encampment full of Egyptian ḥajj pilgrims, paid the required fare for a camel and instructed the rider, “Take Shaykh Aḥmad and his mother to Egypt.” The Egyptian ḥajj pilgrim he spoke to also showed profound respect for this person.

Shaykh Aḥmad رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه quickly readied his belongings and went with his mother to the encampment of Egyptian pilgrims. The person was still there awaiting them. Time for salah then began, so they both went to Masjid al-Nabawi. The person said, “O Aḥmad! Go and offer salah.” Shaykh Aḥmad رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه entered the masjid, offered salah and waited for the person to appear. Ultimately, he did not.

Shaykh Aḥmad رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه says, “I searched for him at length, but could not find him anywhere. In the end, I went to Shaykh Ṣafī al-Dīn رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and informed him of the entire incident. Hearing the description of that pious person, he explained, ‘That person, was none other than the dear uncle of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. He came to relieve you of your worry.’”^[1] 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The martyrs are alive

O devotees of Allah’s Messenger! Look at how Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ came to help and assist a worried individual, centuries after his apparent passing from this world. سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه
