Worship of Hadhrat Ghouse Azam

Hadhrat Shaykh Abu Sa’ood (May Allah Ta’ala shower His mercy on him) says that hadhrat Ghouse A’adham (May Allah Ta’ala be well pleased with him) said: I have not left even a single method of worship,which I did not take up for my Nafs and in which I was not regular.

 For a long time, I spent my life in uninhabited and deserted areas and put my Nafs through various kinds of worhsip and hardships.  For 25 years, I wandered alone in the jungles of Iraq.  Thus, for one year, I lived on grass and the like and did not drink water at all.  Then for another year, I drank water as well.  Then for another year, I lived only on water and did not eat anything and then another year, I neither ate nor drank nor slept.

Hadhrat Shaykh Abu Bakr Tameemi (May Allah Ta’ala shower His mercy on him) says that Hadhrat Ghouse Ul A’adham (May Allah Ta’ala be well pleased with him) said: When Baghdad came in the grips of a famine, I was very hardpressed and for a number of days, I did not eat anything.

Once when hunger was its peak, I went to the banks of Dajla (possibly river Euphrates), that I may get some leaves of some vegetable or grass, etc. to eat and subsist.  When I went there, wherever I saw already men were there and I did not consider it correct to compete and overtake them.  I returned to the city.  Here also, I could not get anything.  At last, forced by hunger, I went to the Masjid of Sauq Ar Raihaniyyeen (a famous market) of Baghdad and sat there.  (Qalaaid Ul Jawahar)

 

Fajr Salaat with the Wudhu of Isha for 40 years

Hadhrat Ablu Fatah Haravi (May Allah Ta’ala shower His mercy on him) says: I lived at the feet of hadhrat Ghouse Ul A’adham for 40 years and in this period, I always saw him offering Salaat Ul Fajr with the Wudhu of Salaat Ul Isha.  (Bahjatul Asrar, Qalaaid Ul Jawahar, Akhbaar Ul Akhyaar, Jame’ Karamaat Ul Auliya, Nafhatul Uns, Tabaqat Kubra)

Even a mountain would have shattered!

It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Shaykh Abu Abdullah Najjar (May Allah Ta’ala shower His mercy on him) that Hadhrat Ghouse A’adham (May Allah Ta’ala be well pleased with him) said: I have bore many difficulties and hardships.  If these had descended on any mountain, that mountain would have been shattered.
