An Account of the Na’layn
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Imam Shihab ad-Din Abu al-‘Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Qasthalani ( r.a. ) said that Imam Abu al-Yaman ibn ‘Asakir ( r.a. ) wrote a volume on the image of the Prophet’s ( s.a.w. ) sandal, and so did Imam Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Haj al-‘Abdari ( r.a. ). He related the account of a pious shaykh , Shaykh Abu Ja’far Ahmad ibn `Abd al-Majid ( q.s. ): “I cut the pattern of this sandal for one of my students. He came to me one day and said: ‘I saw a wonder yesterday from the blessing of this sandal. My wife was suffering from a pain which almost took her life. I placed the sandal on the spot of her pain and said, ‘O Allah, Show me the Blessing of the owner of this sandal. Allah Cured her on the spot.’”
