Here is the miraculous and blessed miracle of Hazrat Abu Hurayra, a distinguished and devoted student and disciple of the sacred school and tekke of Suffa, under the guidance of the Prophet of the universe, the honored Fahr-i Âlem Aleyhissalâtü Vesselâm, who prayed for the increase of the power of memory, and who reported the occurrence of a gathering of thousands of people, such as the event of Tabuk, which must be as certain and strong as the words of an army.
SIXTEENTH EXAMPLE: First, Bukhari, and the books of Sahih narrate with certain transmission that:
Hazrat Abu Hurayra was hungry. He went with the Resul-i Ekrem Aleyhissalâtü Vesselâm to the place of rest. They saw that a glass of milk had been brought as a gift there. The Resul-i Ekrem Aleyhissalâtü Vesselâm ordered: "Call the people of Suffa." I thought in my heart: "I could drink all of this milk; I am more in need." But because of the command of the Prophet, I gathered them and brought them. They were very hungry. He ordered: "Give them to drink." I gave them the milk from that glass one by one. Each drank until satisfied, and then I gave it to the next. In this way, every member of Suffa drank from that pure milk until they were all satisfied. Then he ordered:
1 بَقِيتُ اَناَ وَاَنْتَ فاَشْرَبْ I drank. As I drank, he kept saying, "Drink." Until I said, "I will give you to the Almighty Zât-ı Zülcelâle, who sent you with truth, for there is no more left for me to drink." Then he took it, said Bismillah, praised, and drank the remainder. May there be ten thousand blessings!
Here is this pure and clear milk, a clear and evident miracle of blessing, which the honored Hazrat Bukhari, who memorized five hundred thousand hadiths, and the narrations of the Six Books of Sahih, as certain as seeing with the eyes, and the distinguished, faithful, and memorizing student of the sacred school of Ahmediye (a.s.m.), Hazrat Abu Hurayra, who witnessed all the people of Suffa in spirit and represented almost all of them, if someone does not consider this report as certain to the degree of tawatur, then either their heart is corrupt or their mind is nonexistent.

1 In His name - and indeed, nothing exists but praises Him.
2 Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
Dear, sincere, devoted, and curious brother Re'fet Bey; There is no need for clarification of the points in the Twelfth Letter that require explanation for now. The main purpose is sufficient to dispel the misunderstanding regarding the verse. And this point is sufficiently clear to everyone. Everyone has their share in every letter; but it is not necessary for everyone to know everything. How did you find the two letters on the Sunnah and the unity of the body? Naturally, your discerning eye has appreciated them.
This time, your question has two aspects: One is the aspect of the secret of the family of Abi (the family of the Prophet), which is that secret. I am not the one who is entitled to that secret to answer it. Or, indeed, the revelation of each secret cannot be written. Because the truth of Muhammadan is veiled and appears in the family of Abi. The second is the obvious aspect, which is obvious. In short: In Sahih Muslim, it is reported from the Rightly Guided Wife Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
The Prophet went out one morning wearing a black woolen garment. Then Hasan ibn Ali came and he took him in, then Hussein came and he took him in with him, then Fatima came and he took her in, then Ali came and he took him in. Then he said: "Indeed, Allah intends to remove all uncleanness from you, O people of the household, and to purify you thoroughly."
Indeed, like this noble hadith, there are many hadiths in the Six Authentic Books with similar meanings that indicate the family of Abi. A person, for the removal of calamities, made such a statement for seeking intercession (istishfa') and supplication (istishfa'):
With these five, I will extinguish the fire of the devastating plague:
The Chosen One, the Chosen One, their sons, and Fatima.
Do not be upset, for now this is enough. I send greetings and prayers separately to each of those mentioned by name in your letter.
5 The Everlasting is the Everlasting.
Your brother,
Said Nursi
I have sent the seven signs of the Thirteenth Letter written about the secret of Euz. Please check them, and if there is any deficiency, not explanation, please inform me.

Two hundred years after the Hijra, the task of preserving the hadiths was taken upon the shoulders of the Six Books (Kütüb-ü Sitte-i makbule), especially by Bukhari and Muslim. Thousands of rigorous scholars, like Ibn Jawzi, emerged and distinguished the authentic hadiths from those mixed by some liars, thoughtless, or careless people.
Later, with the confirmation of the people of knowledge, great scholars and experts like Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, who embodied the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) seventy times and were in a state of spiritual presence with him, distinguished the gems of authentic hadiths from other sayings and subjects. Thus, these events and miracles have come down to us strong, reliable, repeated, and numerous, perhaps from countless hands, firmly preserved.
1. Praise be to Allah, this is the grace of my Lord.
Therefore, it should not occur to anyone to say, "How can we know these events that have come from a long distance until now, that they are pure and uncorrupted?"
THE FIRST EXAMPLE OF ABSOLUTE MIRACLES CONCERNING BLESSINGS: First, Bukhari and Muslim, in agreement, report in the Six Books of Sahih:
During the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the noble lady Hazrat Zainab, his aunt Ummu Suleym, the mother of Anas, fried some dates with oil, put them into a pot, and sent them to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Anas. The Prophet ordered Anas: "Call so-and-so. Also, invite whoever you meet." Anas invited everyone he met. About three hundred Companions came and filled the suffe and the blessed room.
The Prophet ordered: "Gather in groups of ten." Then, he blessed the small amount of food with his blessed hands, prayed, and said, "Eat." All three hundred men ate and became full. The Prophet then ordered Anas: "Lift the pot." Anas said: "I don't know whether the food was abundant when I placed the pot or when I lifted it; I couldn't tell the difference."
