the worshipper’s demise, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ brought the woman back to life and she told them everything that had happened from beginning till end. When the cloth was removed from his hand, everyone saw that it was burnt just as the woman said. Then she died again. When the people heard the amazing truth, they respectfully lowered their heads and all grieved and mourned the painful demise of this fortunate worshipper. When his grave was dug, fragrance of musk and ambergris emanated from it. When the two corpses were brought a voice from the sky said, ‘اِصۡبِرُوۡا حَتّٰي تُصَلِّي عَلَيۡهِمَا الۡمَلٰٓئِكَةُ’ Wait until the angels have performed their funeral prayer. After the burial, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ made jasmine grow on the fortunate worshipper’s grave. On his blessed tomb, people saw tombstone with the following inscription on it:
‘بِسۡـمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡـمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ From Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) to His servant and friend; I gathered My angels, Jibrāīl (عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام) delivered a sermon and I married him (My friend) to fifty thousand brides in Jannat-ul-Firdaus. Such are the favours that I bestow upon those who obey Me and are close to Me. (Baḥr-ud-Dumū’, pp. 169)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم
Did you see how dangerous the mischief of women is! The cursed devil does not refrain from attacking the beloved bondmen of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ via women, but if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ helps someone then he cannot be deceived by the wretched devil. This story could make someone wonder, ‘Why was such a great saint falsely accused of such a filthy and indecent act and of murdering a Muslim; and why was he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه cruelly sawn into pieces?’
