Unparalleled Devotee

The servant of Madīnaĥ [the author, Amīr-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat] once requested a iddīqī scholar to show him the sign on his toe. He said, ‘My father made it prominent by scratching it, but now it is concealed again.’

Muftī Amad Yār Khān Na’īmī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated on page 359 of ‘Mirā-tul-Manājī’, ‘Some āliīn (pious people) have been heard to say that either snakes do not bite those who are from the offspring of Shaykh iddīqī [Sayyidunā Muhammad Ibn-e- Abū Bakr, the son of Sayyidunā Abū Bakr who was a aābī] or if they do bite, the poison has no effect. This is due to the blessed saliva of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم which he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم applied on the toe of iddīq Al-Akbar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ in the cave of Šaūr after he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ had been bitten by the snake.

In addition to this, there is a black mole on the toe of these descendants, and if the mother and father are both from the offspring of Shaykh iddīqī then there will be a mole on the large toes of both feet. I have seen these moles on the toes of many iddīqīs. In short, these are extremely astonishing marvels (i.e. snakes not biting iddīqīs, the poison not affecting them if a snake does bite, and the presence of moles on their toes until today; all of these are the astonishing miracles of the blessed saliva of Rasūlullāĥ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم).’

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الْحَبِیۡب                       صَلَّى الـلّٰـہُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
