‎ ‎ ‎ بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Imam Yusuf ibn Isma’il an-Nabhani ( q.s. ) narrated, in Hujjatullahi ‘Ala al-‘Alamin fi Mu’jizati Sayyid al-Mursalin , that Shaykh Abu al-‘Abbas Ahmad ibn Nafis at-Tunisi ( q.s. ) stated, “During my stay in Madinat al-Munawwarah, I once experienced extreme hunger.  Presenting myself at the blessed tomb of the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w. ), I pleaded, ‘ Ya Rasulullah !  I am hungry.’   Suddenly, I fell asleep.  Someone awoke me and asked me to go with him. I agreed, so he took me to his house.  Serving me with dates, butter and wheat bread, he said, ‘Eat until you are satiated because my blessed ancestor, Sayyidina Muhammad ( s.a.w. ), has commanded me to be hospitable to you.  Come to me whenever you feel hunger in future.’”
