A Scholar’s Tawaswswul at the Maqam of a Wali
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Shihab ad-Din Abu al-Fadhl Ahmad
ibn ‘Ali ibn Hajr al-‘Asqalani (r.a.)
wrote, in Tahdzib at-Tahdzib, that Imam
Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah al-Hakim an-Nishaburi (r.a.) said that he heard Shaykh Abu ‘Ali
Hasan ibn ‘Ali ad-Daqqaq (r.a.) say,
“I was in extreme depression, then I saw Prophet (s.a.w.) in my dream. He
said, ‘Go to grave of Yahya ibn Yahya, recite istighfar, and ask
for help through his intercession. Your
problem will be solved.’ I did that and
my problem was solved in the morning.” Here,
Imam ibn Hajr al-‘Asqalani (r.a.)
showed that visiting the tombs of the awliya’
and seeking their intercession is a meritorious and approved act.
