"I will take your hand to take you to Jannat"

Ibn Muafeq (rahmatullahi alaihe) narrates that he performed the Hajj several times on behalf of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).

Ibn Muafeq (rahmatullahi alaihe) once saw the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) addressed Ibn Muafeq (rahmatullahi alaihe) and stated: “Oh Muafeq! Have you performed the Hajj on my behalf?” Ibn Muafeq replied: “Yes.”

The Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) then asked: “Have you said labbaik on my behalf?” Ibn Muafeq replied: “Yes, Hujoor.”

The Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) then stated: “I will give you the returns on the day of Qiyamah. That day, I will take your hand to take you to Jannat when others will be busy with their Book of deeds.”
