The Miracles of Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with them)

 Proof of the miracles of the saints from Hadith

 

The Hadith mention in detail the miracles of the saints of the nations of previous Prophets and the miracles of the Companions (May Allah be well pleased with them), so much so that a separate book can be written on this.  Here, as proof, a single Hadith is being mentioned:

 

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be well pleased with him), he said that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:  Allah Most High said:  Whoever bears enmity with my Wali (Lit. friend), I declare war against him.  My slave comes closer to me with no act more beloved to me than the Obligatory acts of worship (Faraaidh), which I have assigned to him and my slave keeps coming closer to me with Supererogatory acts of worship (Nafl), so much so that I start loving him.  When I make him my beloved, then I become his ears with whom he hears, I become his eyes with which he sees, I become his hand with which he holds and I become his legs with which he walks.  If he asks me for something, I verily grant it. If he asks me for protection, I surely grant it.  If I want to do something, I don’t hesitate as I wait before taking the soul of a believer when he does not desire it and I don’t like hurting him.  (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 6502)

 

This Hadith shows the greatness of the saints and pious folk and is a proof for the veracity of their miracles.  When the power of Allah works in their hearing, seeing, listening and moving, they can hear from near and far; they can see what is near and what is far; they have extraordinary power in their hands and feet.

 

For this reason, the saints, with their extraordinary hearing, hear those things which others are not able to hear; they see that which others cannot; they have such power of help and succor in their hands which others don’t; they walk in such a manner that they can cover many leagues with one step of theirs.

 

The Hadith describe in detail the miracles of the saints of the previous nations and of the Companions (May Allah be well pleased with them).  The scholars of the Ummah have composed great works on the veracity of the miracles and in their description.  In this regard, the noteworthy among them are:

 

Hilyatul Auliya and Tabaqaatul Auliya by Imam Abu Nu’aim Ahmed bin ‘Abdullah Asfahaani (Dec. 430 Hijri)

 

Risala Qushairiyya by Imam Abul Qasim ‘Abdul Kareem bin Hawazin Qushairi (Dec. 465 Hijri)
