Privilege Granted by Allah In The Grave Too!

Bannani (R.A) is famous in explaining Hadith which where stored in his memory. When, in supplicating process before Allah , he used to weep excessively. People could see the salty marks of tears on his cheeks after the prayer was over.  Some one of his fellowmen/followers saw this and could not resist themselves to utter the words of Warning saying, that, Bannani (R.A) may loose his eyesight if weeping and crying is continued for a long time. Bannani (R.A) replied what is the use of these eyes if they are not tearful in supplication . One of his prominent prayer was “O, Allah !. please give me permission to offer my salaat even after death when I am in the new house of soil(Grave). If you grant permission to any one of thy slaves, then, my life, full of steadfastness and degree of devotion and belief incorporated with your  mercy and my Istaghfaar may be meaningful to me.

On his death, the people who attended the burial narrated ”By Allah!”  we, who were  present for the burial of Bannani (R.A) , saw that when his body was rested in the grave, The brick of side fell down and we could see through the created pit. To the surprise of all of us with great amazement, we saw Bannani (R.A) was offering salaat. We reacted to see the wonderful, almost impossible scence and remarked - -- look!  what is happening?  Bannani (R.A) adviced us to observe silence and  be tightlipped.

With the great surprise, we left the place, and went to daughter of Bannani (R.A)  and wanted to know “what extraordinary special practices your father had been observing? “  She wondered and asked what made you people ask this question. On this we explained the incident--- what they saw in the grave .Taking deep sigh, she revealed--- my father had  constantly offered late midnight salaat for fifty long years used to terminate it each day after offering morning prayer only. Before Allah , while supplicating he used to ask for the favour to permit him to offer salaat in the grave  too till the dooms day.

Almighty, pleased with him, of his devotion, granted the permission. for the asked privilege.

 REMEMBER – :

IT IS SAID, THAT, THE HEART IS FULL OF RUINS IF IT IS DEVOID OF FEAR  OF ALLAH. THE FACE OF DEVOTEE, GETTING WET WITH DROP OF TEAR OUT OF FEAR OF ALLAH , IS SAFE FROM ENTRANCE IN TO THE FIRE OF HELL.  WHEN A DEVOTEE SHIVERS, OUT OF FEAR , HIS SINS FALL  AWAY,  LIKE DRY LEAVES FALLING FROM ATREE. ONE SALTY DROP OF TEAR, AFTER SALAAT ,  IS EFFICIENT TO CANCELL THE ENORMUS SINS MAY BE EQUIVALENT TO THE SURF OF OCEANS.
