Distinctive nearness

Sayyiduna Siddeeq-e-Akbar and Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam     رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا both were bestowed with especial and distinctive nearness to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in their worldly life as well as after the demise; therefore, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has stated:

Mahboob Rab-e-‘Arsh hay is sabz qubbay mayn
