Ge Ibn Kathir on Tawassul" Many have stated this tradition. One of them is Aba Mansitr Sabbagh who writes in his book al- ‘Hikayat ul-Masbburab that, according to‘Utbi, once he was sitting beside the beloved Prophet's & blessed resting place when a bedouin came and he said, “Peace be on you, O Allah's Messenger #. I have heard that Allah says: ((O beloved!) And if they had come to you, when they had wronged, their souls, and asked forgiveness of Allah, and the Messenger also had asked forgiveness for them, they (on the basis of this means and intercession) would have surely found Allah the Granter of repentance, extremely Merciful. I have come to you, asking forgiveness for my sins and I make you as my intermediary before my Lord and I have come to you for this purpose.” Then he recited, these verses: 0, the most exalted among the buried people who improved the worth of the plains and the hillocks! ‘May I sacrifice my life for this grave which is made radiant by you, (the Prophet 8) the one who is (an embodiment) of mercy and forgiveness. ‘Then the bedouin went away and I fell asleep. In my dream I saw the Prophet 2. He # said to me: © "Ushi, the bedouin is right, go and give him the good news that Allah has forgiven his sins.
