A Fiew Storeis From The lives of Pious.. |
|---|
1. Abdul Waahid (Rahmatullah alaih) says,"One day I was so much overpowered by sleep that I went to bed before finishing my Zikir for the night. I saw in my dream a most beautiful girl dressed in green silk.All parts of her body and even her shoes were engaged in Zikir. She said to me 'Aspire to posses me; I love you." And then she recitied a few couplets depicting the eagerness of a lover. When I woke up from the dream, I vowed not to sleep any more during the night. It is reported that for full 40 years he never slept at night, and said Ishaa and Fajar salaats with same wudhu.
2.Mazhar Sa'di (Rahmatullah aliah), the famous pious man, kept weeping for 60 years in love and eagerness for Alalh. One night he saw in a dream a few damsels by the side of pearl trees with gold branches, on the bank of the brook brimming with fluid musk, pure and fragrant. The girls were hymning the glory of Allah. He asked their identity. In reply they recited two couplets, which meant, "We have been created by the Sustainer of mankind and Lord of Muhammad (sallallaho alaihe wasallam) for thsoe people who keep standing before Allah all night long and hymning in supplication to Him."
3. An eminent shaikh says: "One night i was in deep sleep and could not get up for Tahajjud. I saw in my dream a girl of such beauty as i had never seen in my life.She was emitting such fragrance as i had never smelt before.She handed over to me a piece of paper on which were written 3 couplets, which meant,"You were so enamoured of deep sleep that you have become unmindful of the high balconies of pradise, where you have to abide for ever with no fear of death. Wake up ! It is better to recite the Qu'ran in Tahajjud than to sleep." Since then, whenever I feel sleepy, these couplets come to my mind and the sleep goes away."
