Hadith Qudsi and The Rank of The Crown of The Saints
Dear Islamic brothers! We listened to the Hadith Qudsī in which Allah Almighty states: كُنْتُ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ “I become his ears through which he listens”. Their ears appear outwardly the same as ours, but the ears of a saint are blessed with special power from Allah Almighty. A saint does not hear through mere sound waves like we do, rather he hears through the special power bestowed upon him by Allah Almighty.
Marvel of Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī’s hearing
It is mentioned in Tafrīḥ al-Khāṭir:
During the lifetime of Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه, there was a female disciple of the Shaykh who once went towards a cave in a mountain for a particular need. There, a transgressor seized her. She called out: اَلْغِیَاثُ یَا غَوْثَ اَعْظَم! اَلْغِیَاثُ یَا غَوْثَ الثَّقَلَیْن !اَلْغِیَاثُ یَا شَیخ مُحْیَّ الدِین ! اَلْغِیَاثُ یَا سَیَّدِیْ عبدَ القادِر “Help! O great helper! Help! O helper of jinn and mankind. Help! O Shaykh Muḥy al-Dīn! Help! O my master ꜤAbd al-Qādir!”
At that time Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was performing ablution in his seminary. Even at such a great distance, he still heard her pleas and came to her aid by throwing his sandal in the direction of that cave. Through the power of Allah Almighty, the sandal reached that evil man, striking him on the head and killing him.[1]
سُبْحٰنَ اللہ This is the rank of the saints; through the power bestowed upon them by Allah Almighty, they hear from afar as they hear from nearby.
