Recite this thrice with Wuḍū (with Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī once before and after it), then blow on some water and drink it. Do this for 40 days. Women should not recite this in days of impurity. When they become pure, they should carry on from where they left off. Punctuality in Ṣalāĥ is absolutely vital.
Question: Did Sayyidunā ‘Abdullāĥ Bin Mubārak رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه experience unreal love as well?
Answer: Yes. However, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه learnt some lesson, repented and attained a high rank. The story of Sayyidunā ‘Abdullāĥ Bin Mubārak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه is as follows: He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was an ordinary young man. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه fell in love with a maid and this issue was prolonged. In a very hard winter, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه waited outside her house all night until the morning just to see her. After wasting his entire night he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was ashamed and realised, ‘I have spent the entire night waiting for a maid but achieved nothing; I wish I had spent it in worship.’ This feeling completely transformed him and a Madanī revolution occurred in his heart. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه repented sincerely, gave up loving the maid, developed Divine love and within a short time reached a high rank of sainthood. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ granted him a very high rank, as is shown in the following story:
Once his honourable mother رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْهَا searched for him and found him sleeping in a garden beneath a rose branch. A snake was next to him with a narcissus branch in its mouth, it was using the branch to swat flies away from his blessed body.
