The mention of the saints – A panacea for diseases
Muhaddith-e-Deccan Abul Hasanaat Hadhrat Syed
Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi Mujaddidi Qadri (May Allah
shower His mercy on him) writes about the blessings
gained from the mention of the miracles, the incidents
and anecdotes of the saints:
Translation: The way abundance of Dhikr and profuse
recitation of the Holy Quran is necessary for the seeker
(Salik), in the same way it is necessary to keep going
through the incidents of the saints! People asked
Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi (May Allah shower His mercy
on him) as to what is the benefit to the seeker from the
incidents and traditions of the saints. He replied: By
the mention of the friends of Almighty Allah, the heart
of the seeker is strengthened and by the blessings of
the mention of the saints, the mercy of Allah descends.
Hadhrat Abu ‘Ali Daqqaq (May Allah shower His mercy
on him) says: There are 2 benefits on listening to the
incidents and anecdotes of the men of Allah. One, that
if the seeker desires (the pleasure and approval) of
Almighty Allah, his (or her) zeal and strength is further
increased. Secondly, if a person is proud, then his (or
her) pride is lessened and essentially wiped out. He
sees his blameworthy attributes as blameworthy and
he is also made aware of the sightlessness of his inward
aspect as well. (Mawaaiz-e-Hasana, Vol. 1, Pg. No. 132)
