Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Second Fascicle

information about the karâmât of Awliyâ in the book, Sell-ulhisâm-il-Hindî
li-nusrat-i sayyidinâ Khâlid-i Naqshibandî. [1] Please
read the book! You will learn many facts in answer to the
Wahhâbîs.” Tafsîr-i Mazharî states in the explanation of this âyati
kerîma: “Allâhu ta’âlâ lets His Awliyâ know without any means
as well. He revealed Sâriya to Hadrat ’Umar ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ
’anhumâ’. He states that He told Hadrat Mûsâ’s mother to put
her son into the sea and intimated to her that He would send him
back and make him a Prophet. He states that He informed the
Hawârîs (Apostles) by means of something similar to Wahy, and
that He said to Hadrat Maryam (Jesus’ blessed mother): ‘Shake
the date log. There shall be fresh dates. Eat them!’ These people
were not Prophets. They were Walîs.” This is discoursed in detail
in the book entitled Usûl-ul-erbe’a fî terdîd-il wahhâbiyya, in
Persian. The book was reproduced by Hakîkat Kitâbevi in 1395
A.H. [1975]. A short passage from the book has been translated
into English. Please see the sixty-second page of the eighteenth
(2007) edition of The Sunnî Path, which is available from Hakîkat
Kitâbevi in Istanbul.
It is written in the hundred and twenty-sixth page of the
second volume of the book Hadîqa: “It is permissible to invoke
Allâhu ta’âlâ through Rasûlullah, through the As-hâb-i-kirâm, or
through the Tâbi’în even after their death. To pray through them
means to ask for their shafâ’at. The savants of the Ahl as-sunnat
stated that this was permissible. But a group of Mu’tazila denied
it. The admission of the invocation of the one who asks for
shafâ’at is the karâmat of the intercessor. That is, it is the latter’s
karâmat after death. Holders of bid’at, heretics, did not believe
this. Imâm-i Manâwî answers these ignorant people in his
commentary to Jâmi’us-saghîr. Imâm-i Subkî stated: “To invoke
through Rasûlullah means to ask for his shafâ’at (intercession),
which is something beautiful. None of the earlier and later Islamic
scholars said anything against doing so. Only Ibni Taymiyya
rejected it. Thus he dissented from the right way. He made up a
bid’at which had been said by none of the savants preceeding him.
Because of this bid’at of his, he became the topic of Muslims’
indignant remonstrations.” Ibni ’Abdussalâm explains detailedly
that it is permissible to ask for something from Allâhu ta’âlâ by
saying, “For Rasûlullah’s sake.” Also, it is communicated by
[1] Written by Ibni ’Âbidîn Sayyid Muhammad bin Amîn bin ’Umar bin
’Abd-ul-’Azîz ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ ’alaih’.
