5-Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

shape up rather late, yet it will remain there a long time. If he is
a Walî but not a murshîd, the fayd and nisbat arising (in your
heart) will be acute and volatile. Those who are unaware of
these hâls will disbelieve the above-mentioned hadîth-i sherîf
and will call it Mawdû’. The savants of Usûl-i hadîth call a
hadîth-i sherîf Mawdû’ when it does not have the conditions
which they have put for a hadîth to be sahîh [1] . In other words,
they say, “It is not sahîh according to my ijtihâd.” They do not
say that it is not a hadîth-i sherîf.
When an exalted person who has attained the degree of
receiving fayd from the blessed soul of our Master, Rasûlullah
(sallallâhu ’alaihi wasallam), turns his attention towards him, no
matter where he himself is, the blessed soul of our Master,
Rasûlullah (sallallâhu ’alaihi wasallam) will give him fayd from
his blessed grave in Medina-i munawwara. By the same token,
any talented and capable person will get a similar benefit from
the souls of the Awliyâ. It is written in the fortieth page:
Shamsaddîn Ibn-ul Qayyim-i Jawziyya, a savant in Hanafî
Madhhab, says in his book Kitâb-ur rûh, “The human soul has
also other states different from those when it is in the body.
After a Believer dies, his soul stays in a grade called Rafîq-i
a’lâ, being still connected with the body at the same time. If
someone gives his salâm to the body in the grave, the soul in
the Rafîq-i a’lâ will acknowledge his salâm.” This statement of
Ibn-ul Qayyim’s would suffice for refuting lâ-madhhabî people.
For they call him Allâma in their book Fath-ul majîd and put
forward his articles as a documentary. Also, Imâm-i Suyûtî
writes like Ibn-ul Qayyim in his book Kitâb-ul munjalî. The fact
that a soul will hear and reply is written in the Arabic book
Minhât-ul wahbiyya fî-radd-il wahhâbiyya, whose third edition
has been published in Istanbul, and in its (Turkish and English)
translations, as well as in the book Kıyâmat ve Âhiret
(Resurrection and Hereafter), in its chapter captioned
Müslimâna Nasîhat (Advice for the Muslim) [2] . Scholars say
that the Awliyâ have some functional capacity after their death.
