Remembering the Most Beloved

‎ بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn Isma’il al-Bukhari (r.a.), in Adab al-Mufrad, wrote that Imam Abu Nu’aym Ahmad ibn ‘Abdullah al-Aswbahani (r.a.) related to us that Shaykh Sufyan (r.a.) related from Shaykh Abu Ishaq Ka’b ibn Mati’ al-Himyari al-Ahbar (r.a.) from Shaykh Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn Sa’d (r.a.), who said Sayyidina ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (r.a.) had numbness in his leg, whereupon a man said to him, “Remember the most beloved of people to you.” 

So, he said “Ya Muhammad,” and it was cured.  Mulla Nur ad-Din Abu al-Hasan ‘Ali ibn Sulthan Muhammad al-Hirawi al-Qari (r.a.) wrote, in Sharh ash-Shifa’ that Sayyidina ibn ‘Umar (r.a.) expressed his love in the form of istighatsa’, seeking help.
