AULIYA ALLAH KI FAZILAT

HADIS ABOUT AULIA ALLAH

Sayyedina Umar (Radi Allahu ta'ala Anhu) said:

I heard the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala Alayhi wa Sallam) saying

"Among Allhs servants there are some who are neither prophets nor martyrs but on the Day of
Judgement the prophets and the martyrs will envy their grades. The Companions asked: O
Messenger of Allh, tell us, who are those people? He replied: those are the people who love one
another on Allhs count. They are neither related to one another nor do they have any property to
exchange. I swear on Allh that they will have faces of light, they will be on pulpits of light. They
will not have any fear when others will be afraid, they will not have any grief when others will be
aggrieved. Then he recited the verse: Beware! No doubt, there is no fear for the friends of Allh
nor shall they be sad and sorrowful. "

[Qurn (Ynus, Jonah) 10:62.]

Ab Dwd, Sunan, b. of ijrah (wages) 3:288

HADIS ABOUT AULIA ALLAH:

Allah Most High says: "He who is hostile to a friend of Mine I declare war against him. My slave
approaches Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him, and
My slave keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him. And when I love him, I
am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he seizes,
and his foot with which he walks. If he asks me, I will surely give to him, and if he seeks refuge in
Me, I will surely protect him"

(Sahih Bukhari - Fath al-Bari, 11.340 41, hadith 6502)

HADIS ABOUT AULIA ALLAH:

Imam Abu Nu'aym al-Asbahani relates a Hadith in his Magnum Opus "Hilyat-ul-Awliya":

On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be well pleased with him, the Messenger of
Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

"Allah Almighty has created three hundred people, whose hearts are like that of Adam, and He
created forty people whose hearts are like Moses. He also created seven people whose hearts are
like that of Abraham, and he created five people with a heart like that of Gabriel, and three people
with a heart like that of Mika'il and only one person with a heart like that of Rafa'il (Raphael). When
such a person dies, Allah Almighty will replace him with one of the three. When one of such three
dies, Allah Almighty will replace him with one of the five. When one of the seven dies, Allah
Almighty will replace him with one of the forty, and when one of the forty dies, He will replace him
with one of the three hundred and when one of the three hundred elite dies, Allah Almighty will
replace him with someone He chooses from among the pious masses. Such a person will live
among the people, and through his prayers (dua), by Allah Almighty's permission, life and death,
rain and prosperity will come and calamity will be averted."
