It is quoted in ‘Al-Qaul-ul-Badi’ that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr
Shibli Baghdadi ( has said: I dreamt about my late
neighbour and asked him,i.e. how did Allah
treat you?’ He replied: I faced immense hardships. I was even
unable to answer the questions of Munkar Nakeer1. I thought
in my heart that perhaps I have not died in the state of Iman!
Meanwhile I heard a voice, ‘You are being punished for using
your tongue unnecessarily in the world.’
Then the angels of torment advanced towards me but
meanwhile, an extremely handsome personality wearing sweet
perfume appeared between me and the torment. He made me
remember the answers to the questions of Munkar Nakeer and
I replied accordingly. The torment was withdrawn
from me. I humbly asked that revered personality, ‘May
Allah ! " # have mercy on you. Who are you?’ He replied,
‘I have been created by virtue of your act of sending Salat-
‘Alan-Nabi abundantly and I have been assigned to help you in
every hardship.’ (Al-Qaul-ul-Badi’, pp. 260)

If an angel can help us in the grave by virtue of
sending Salat-‘Alan-Nabi abundantly, then the Master of all angels
can certainly help and bless us! Someone has rightly pleaded.
