*بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم*
Hazrat Owais Al-Qarni (may Allah have mercy on him) could not visit the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) but he was very sad to see him.
Hazrat Owais Al-Qarni (may Allah have mercy on him) |
** *
He had an old mother. The reason for their service was that you could not visit the Holy Prophet.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to point to Yemen and say: I smell my friend's fragrance from Yemen. He has an old and blind mother, whom Owais serves very well and cannot leave his old mother.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) addressing Hazrat Umar and Hazrat Ali (ra) said that a person will come in his time whose name will be Owais bin Amir There will be a white spot. When he came, you both asked him to pray for you.
Because Owais served his mother in such a way that whenever she raised her hand for prayer, Allah Almighty did not reject her prayer.** *
Hazrat Umar remained caliph for ten years and performed Hajj every year and searched for Hazrat Owais Al-Qarni but Owais was not found. Once Hazrat Umar gathered all the pilgrims in the field of Arafat and said that all the pilgrims should stand up, then he said that all sit down and only Yemenis should stand up. Then he said: All the people of Yemen should sit and only the people of Murad tribe should stand. Then he said: All the people of Murad should sit. He said: Do you know Owais? The man said yes I know this is my real nephew. You asked where is Owais? The man said he had gone to Arafat to graze camels.
So he took Hazrat Ali with him and ran towards Arafat. When you reached there, you saw that Hazrat Owais Al-Qarni was engaged in prayers. When Hazrat Owais finished the prayer, Hazrat Umar (RA) asked him,
Brother who are you Hazrat Owais Al-Qarni said that I am Abdullah. Hazrat Owais said who are you? Hazrat Ali (RA) said: This is Amir-ul-Momineen Umar bin Al-Khattab and I am Ali Ibn Abi Talib.** *
Hazrat Owais almost heard that he started trembling and said: I am sorry, I did not recognize you, I have come for Hajj for the first time. Hazrat Umar said: Are you Owais? He said yes I am Owais.
Hazrat Umar (RA) said: Raise your hand and pray for us. He started crying and said: Shall I pray? Logo and I are your servants and how can I pray for you people? Hazrat Umar (RA) said: Yes, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) has commanded that whenever Owais came, he should be asked to pray for him. Then Hazrat Owais Qarni prayed for both of you.
My mother is my paradise.
Or may Allah make us obedient to our parents, Amen
And those who have no parents, let no one reward their parents, Amen.
