Allama Quazi Muhammed Sulaiman Monsurpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) wrote the book Rahmatullil Aalamin. The words Rahmatullil Aalamin means “Mercy for all the Worlds.” The words have been used in the Holy Qu’ran to refer to the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
After the completion of his book, Quazi Sulaiman Monsurpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) went to Madinah al-Munawara. One day, he was coming out after having finished his prayers at the Masjid an-Nabi. The Imam of the Masjid an-Nabi was with Quazi Sulaiman Monsurpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) at this time. The two were speaking as they were coming out of the mosque. When they reached the outside gate of the Masjid an-Nabi, the Imam bent forward and straightened the shoes of Quazi Sulaiman Monsurpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe). At this, Quazi Sulaiman Monsurpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) rushed to the Imam to hold his hand. He then asked: “What are you doing? Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala’a has given you such an elevated position.”
Hearing this, the Imam became tearful and went on to say: “You may not know by whose command I have carried out this task. At night, I was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) commanded: “Muhammed Sulaiman is my guest. Honour him in all respects.”
