The Tawaswswul of Hajar (r.a.)
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
One of the points of evidence, permitting the seeking of help, is what Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn Isma’il al-Bukhari (r.a.) related, in a sound hadits, from Sayyidina ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (r.a.), that the Prophet (s.a.w.) mentioned in the story of Hajar (r.a.), the mother of Isma’il, (a.s.), when thirst overtook her son and her, she began to run in search for water. Then she heard a voice, yet saw no one, and she said, “If there be help with you, then help us.” If seeking aid of other than Allah (s.w.t.) was shirk, then why did she seek aid? Why did the Prophet (s.a.w.) mention it to his companions, and not reject it? And why did the companions after him transmit it, and the narrators of ahadits mention it?
