Dream brings food for three Muhaddith

Renowned Muhaddith (scholar of Hadith) Muhammad Ibn Nasr Maruzi (rahmatullahi alaihe), Muhammad Ibn Jarir (rahmatullahi alaihe) and Muhammad Ibn Monhar (rahmatullahi alaihe) were once in a house in Egypt compiling Hadith Shareef.

They faced extreme difficulties with their work because of the lack of food. One of the Muhaddith was entrusted with the responsibility to arrange food. This individual offered salaat and prayed to the Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala'a to remove their wants.

During this time, the Amir of Egypt was taking a nap. The Amir was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “The three Muhaddith do not have any food.”

Upon awakening, the Amir located the three Muhaddith. Afterwards, the Amir sent one thousand gold coins to the three Muhaddith.
