Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. [Al-Ahzab (33:56)]

Sheikh Muhammed Sakheri

Sheikh Muhammed Sakheri once came to the august court of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and stated: “Oh Rasool Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)! I am your guest. Either you feed me well or I will break the chandeliers of your court.”

Precisely at this moment, an individual called Sheikh Muhammed Sakheri and gave him dates and other delicious food to eat. Sheikh Muhammed Sakheri ate to his heart’s content and satisfied his hunger.

Afterwards, the individual asked Sheikh Muhammed Sakheri: “What did you say at the Rouza-e-Rasool Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)? The Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) came here and was smiling. He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) narrated what you have said.” At this, Sheikh Muhammed Sakheri asked the individual: “How do you know all this?”

The individual stated: “I was sleeping. I was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “I have a guest who has a very high temper. Take him to your residence and feed him well. And tell him to change his place as this is not the place for desires.”
