HAZRAT BILAL
After Rasulullah ﷺ passed ahead, Hazrat Bilal radi allahu anhu was so sad that he decided he could not stay in Madina Sharif any longer. He took all his property and left for Syria.
After a year, Rasulullah ﷺ
appeared in his dream and said “Bilal, why did you leave me?” Hazrat Bilal radi allahu anhu woke up and immediately left in the middle of the night back to Madina Sharif.
When the people of Madina Sharif saw Hazrat Bilal, they became extremely happy. Everyone asked him to give the Azan many times to hear his beautiful voice, but he refused. He told them that he had already decided that he would not give the Azan again after the passing of Rasululah ﷺ.
Then the two beloved grandsons of Rasulullah ﷺ, Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain Alayhi salam came to him and asked him to give the Azan. Hazrat Bilal radi allahu anhu looked at their beautiful faces, and he had so much love for them that he could not refuse their request. They held Hazrat Bilal’s hand and took him to the Mimbar in Masjid e Nabawi.
When the people of Madina Sharif heard Hazrat Bilal Radi allahu anhu giving the Azan, they all came out crying as it reminded them of Rasulullah ﷺ. When Hazrat Bilal Radi allahu anhu said “Ash-hadu Anna Muhammad ur Rasulullah,” he could not continue any longer and he did not finish the Azan as the pain was too much.
O’Allah put the light of Your knowledge in our hearts, for the sake of Hazrat Ali Murtada the lion of Allah
Maarifath ke nur se hamaray dil ko mamoor kar, peshwa e deen Hazrat Ali Murtada Sher e Khuda ke wastey
O’Lord of all the worlds, give us sincere love for your Beloved, for the sake of Sayyidatina Fatima Az-Zahra (A.S)
Ishq de Mahboob ko hum ko ya Ilahul Alameen,
Syeda Masooma Hazrat Fatima (alayhi salam) ke Wastey.
Silsila-e-Aaliya, Khushhaliya.
