Dream of a Mureed

Hazrat Shah Abu Syed Mujaddedi (rahmatullahi alaihe) took over the Khankah (convent) of Hazrat Shah Golam Ali (rahmatullahi alaihe) after his demise.

Once, a quarrel arose in the Khankah. During this time, one Mureed (disciple) of the Khankah had a dream. In the dream, the Mureed saw that there was an assembly at the august court of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). The Mureed further saw that the matter of the quarrel was being placed before the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). In the dream, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) ordered certain individuals to be expelled from the Khankah.

The Mureed became frightened in case the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) mentioned his name to be expelled from the Khankah. He woke up because of this fear.

The Mureed then proceeded to bring water for Hazrat Abu Syed (rahmatullahi alaihe) to prepare for the Tahajjud salaat (late night prayer). During this time, Hazrat Abu Syed (rahmatullahi alaihe) commented: “Why are you afraid? The Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) did not mention your name.” In the morning, Hazrat Abu Syed (rahmatullahi alaihe) expelled those individuals from the Khankah whose names were mentioned by the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in the dream.

Hazrat Abu Syed (rahmatullahi alaihe) was born in 1196 Hijri. He passed away in 1250 Hijri in a place called Tok. It was Saturday on a day of Eid. He was brought to Delhi to be buried beside his spiritual predecessors.
