Enes ibni Mâlik

Yes, the miracle of the trunk of the date palm tree is widespread, well known, and a genuine continuous miracle. A group of fifteen different chains of transmission from a distinguished group of the Companions brought this miracle, and the hundred imams of the Tabi'in (the generation after the Companions) transmitted this miracle through these chains to the following centuries. From that group of the Companions, the famous scholars of the Companions and the leaders of hadith narration, such as Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (the servant of the Prophet),1 Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (the servant of the Prophet),2 Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar,3 Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas,4 Sayyiduna Sa'd ibn Ubadah,5 Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri,6 Sayyiduna Ubay ibn Ka'b,7 Sayyiduna Buraydah,8 Sayyiduna Ummul-Mu'minin Ummu Salama,9 and other prominent scholars of the Companions and leaders of hadith narration, each one at the head of a chain of transmission, conveyed the same miracle to the community. Foremost among them are al-Bukhari and Muslim, authors of the authentic books, who transmitted this continuous great miracle through their chains to the following centuries.

THE SEVENTEENTH SIGN The greatest miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) after the Qur’an is his own self. That is, he possessed the highest moral virtues, and both friends and enemies agree that he was at the highest level in each of these virtues. Even the brave hero, Hazrat Ali, repeatedly said: “When the battle became terrifying, we would take refuge behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and find comfort.” And indeed, he was at an unparalleled and unattainable level in all noble virtues. We refer to this great miracle in the respected work of the scholar of the Maghreb, Judge Iyaz, called "Shifa-i Sharif." The truth is, that self and that great moral miracle have been beautifully explained and proven. Moreover, this great and confirmed by both friends and enemies, miracle of the Ahmadi (peace and blessings be upon him), is the supreme religion, which has no equal, past or future. We refer to the expression of one level of this great miracle to all thirty-three Say, thirty-three Letters, thirty-one Lem’s, and thirteen Shu’s that we have written. Also, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has a confirmed and certain great miracle, the splitting of the moon. Indeed, this splitting of the moon is a miracle that is reported through multiple chains of narration. It was reported through numerous chains from many of the esteemed Companions, such as Ibn Masud, Ibn Abbas, Ibn Umar, Imam Ali, Anas, and Hzayfa. In addition, the Qur’anic verse, “The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split,” has announced this great miracle to the world. The stubborn idolaters of Quraysh at that time did not deny the news given by this verse, but perhaps only said, “It is magic.” Thus, even the disbelievers acknowledged the splitting of the moon as a certainty. We refer to this great miracle, the splitting of the moon, to the treatise on the splitting of the moon appended to the Thirty-First Say that we have written.

FIRST EXAMPLE: First, Bukhari, Muslim, and the sahiha books report with a sahih narration from the noble Companion Anas: The noble Companion Anes says: We were about three hundred people in a place called Zevra, with the Honored Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him. He ordered us to perform wudu for the Asr prayer. But there was no water. He only ordered a small amount of water to be brought, which we brought. He immersed his blessed hands into it. I saw that water was flowing from his fingers like a spring. Then, all the three hundred men in our group came, and they all performed wudu and drank from it. 1 Thus, the noble Companion Anes is reporting this incident on behalf of the three hundred people. Is it possible that those three hundred people did not participate in this miracle in spirit, and yet did not object to it, even though they did not participate? SECOND EXAMPLE: First, Bukhari, Muslim, and the sahiha books report: The noble Companion Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari reports: We were fifteen hundred people at the event of Hudaybiyyah and we were thirsty. The Honored Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, took wudu from a leather container called a kırba, and then put his hand into it. I saw that water was flowing from his fingers like a spring. The fifteen hundred people drank and filled their containers from that kırba. Salim ibn Abi al-Huda asked Jabir: "How many people were there?" Jabir said: "Even if there had been a hundred thousand people, it would have been sufficient. But we were fifteen hundred (that is, one thousand and five hundred)." 2 Thus, the narrators of this clear miracle are about fifteen hundred people in spirit. Because in human nature, there is an instinctive tendency to recognize and reject falsehood. The Companions, who sacrificed their lives, wealth, fathers, mothers, tribes, and clans for sincerity and truth, and who were ready to sacrifice everything for sincerity and truth, could not possibly remain silent in the face of the noble hadith warning that "Whoever knowingly reports a lie about me, let him prepare a place in Hellfire." Since they remained silent, it means they accepted the report, participated in it in spirit, and affirmed it.

THE SIXTH POINTED SIGN According to a definite and authentic narration, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded Hazrat Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her): 1 "You are the first of my household to join me," meaning, "From my household, you will die before anyone else and will be united with me." Exactly as he had announced, this happened six months later. He also commanded Abu Zer: 2 "You will be expelled from here, live alone, and die alone," meaning he would be exiled from Medina, live alone, and die alone in a desert. As he had foretold, this happened twenty years later. While getting up from sleep in the house of Umm Haram, the aunt of Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet smiled and said: 3 "I saw my community fighting at sea, like kings on thrones." Umm Haram prayed: "Pray to Allah so that I may be with them." The Prophet said: "You will be with them." Forty years later, she went to the conquest of Cyprus with her husband Ubayd ibn Samit and died there. Her tomb became a place of visitation, exactly as he had foretold. Also, according to a definite and authentic narration, the Prophet said: 4 "A liar and a tyrant will emerge from the tribe of Thaqif." Meaning, "One from the tribe of Thaqif will claim prophethood and another will appear as a cruel tyrant." He foretold the famous Mu'tar, who claimed prophethood, and Hajjaj the Tyrant, who killed a hundred thousand people.

NINTH SIGN One of the miraculous signs of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is that the trees obeyed his command like human beings and moved from their places to come to him. This miraculous sign of the tree is comparable in terms of authenticity to the miraculous flowing of water from his blessed fingers. It has multiple chains of transmission and has reached us through many different routes. Indeed, the tree coming to the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) upon his command can be considered as a well-known and widely transmitted miracle. Because the prominent and trustworthy Companions, such as Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Ibn Abbas, Hazrat Ibn Masud, Hazrat Ibn Umar, Hazrat Ya'le bin Murra, Hazrat Jabir, Hazrat Anas bin Malik, Hazrat Buraidah, Hazrat Usamah bin Zaid, and Hazrat Gaylani bin Salama, each individually and with certainty, have reported the same miraculous event of the tree. The hundred imams of the Tabi'in have transmitted this miracle from each of the aforementioned Companions, through separate chains of narration, almost in the form of overlapping transmissions. Thus, this miraculous event of the tree is considered an absolute and unquestionable miracle, free from any doubt. Now, we will mention a few authentic examples of the occurrence of this great miracle, even though it has occurred many times. FIRST EXAMPLE: The great scholars Imam Ibn Majah, Darimi, and Imam Bayhaqi, through authentic narration, report from Hazrat Anas bin Malik, Hazrat Ali, and also from Hazrat Umar, that three Companions said: The Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was grieved due to the denial of the disbelievers. He said: "O Lord, show me a sign, and let me not care about anyone who denies me after that." In the narration of Anas, Hazrat Jibril was present. There was a tree by the side of a valley. With the command of Hazrat Jibril, the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) called the tree, and it came to him. Then he said, "Go," and it went back and returned to its place.

THE ELEVENTH SIGN Just as the Tenth Sign indicated the Prophetic miracle in the tribe of trees, the Eleventh Sign will also indicate the Prophetic miracle in the tribe of stones and mountains. Indeed, we shall mention seven or eight examples from these numerous examples: FIRST EXAMPLE: The learned scholar of the Maghreb, the noble Judge Iyaz, in his book Shifa, with a high-level narration and authentic transmission from important imams such as the compiler of Bukhari, reports: Hazrat Ibn Masud, the servant of the Prophetic, said: "We were eating food in the presence of the Noble Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we heard the food reciting praises of Allah."1 SECOND EXAMPLE: With authentic narration, from Anas and Abu Zarr, the authentic books report: Hazrat Anas (the servant of the Prophetic) said: "We were in the presence of the Noble Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He took small stones in his hand and began to recite praises of Allah in his blessed hand. Then he placed them in the hand of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, and they recited praises again."2 Abu Zarr al-Gifari, in his narration, said: "Then he placed them in the hand of Hazrat Umar, and they recited praises again. Then he took them, placed them on the ground, and they fell silent. Then he took them again, placed them in the hand of Hazrat Osman, and they began to recite praises again. Then Hazrat Anas and Abu Zarr said: 'He placed them in our hands, and they fell silent.'"3

His face was respected, for that incident became known through a poem by Abdülmuttalib.1 After the death of the Prophet, the Noble Companion Omar, using the Noble Abbas as a means, said: "O Lord, he is the uncle of Your beloved. Show respect to his face by sending rain." Rain came.2 Also, Imam Bukhari and Muslim report that a request for rain was made. The Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, and the rain came so heavily that they had to say, "O please pray, let it stop." He prayed, and it suddenly stopped.3 SECOND EXAMPLE: It is well known that the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), while the Companions and those who had accepted Islam had not yet reached forty and were still worshiping in secret, prayed: "O Allah, honor Islam through Omar ibn al-Khattab or through Amr ibn al-Harith."4 A day or two later, the Noble Omar ibn al-Khattab accepted Islam and became the means for the declaration and honor of Islam, and he received the noble title of "Faruk."5 THIRD EXAMPLE: Some of the select Companions prayed for various purposes. Their prayers were accepted in such a brilliant manner that this miraculous acceptance of prayer reached the level of a miracle. Indeed, Imam Bukhari and Muslim report that Ibn Abbas prayed: "O Allah, make him a scholar in religion and teach him interpretation."6 This prayer was so accepted that Ibn Abbas earned the noble title of "translator of the Quran" and the noble rank of "habir al-umma," meaning "the learned of the nation."7 Even when he was very young, the Noble Omar would include him in the gatherings of scholars and the senior Companions.8

SECOND BRANCH: The recognition of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) by the dead, jinn, and angels. There are many incidents of this kind. As an example, we will first cite a few examples from the dead, reported by well-known and reputable imams. However, the recognition by jinn and angels is a recurring phenomenon; their examples are not one, but many. Examples of the dead speaking: The first example is as follows: Hasan al-Basri, a prominent leader among the scholars of the Zahir and Batin schools during the time of the Tabi'in and a devoted and faithful student of Imam Ali, reports: A man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and wept bitterly. He said, "I had a little daughter. She died near this nearby stream, and I threw her body there." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) felt compassion for him and said, "Come, let us go there." They went. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) called the dead girl, saying, "O so-and-so!" Immediately, the dead girl responded, "Labbaik wa sa'dayk." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, "Do you wish to return once more to your father and mother?" She replied, "No, I have found something better than them." The second example: Some important imams, such as Imam al-Bayhaqi and Imam Ibn Adi, report from the narration of Anas ibn Malik that Anas said: An elderly woman had a single son, who suddenly passed away. The pious woman was greatly distressed. She said, "O Lord! For Your pleasure, I migrated and came here to embrace the covenant and service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Please grant me the favor of reviving my only child, who was my sole source of comfort in life, in honor of that Prophet." Anas said: That dead man stood up and ate with us. This verse from Imam al-Busiri's Qasida al-Burdah refers to this extraordinary incident: لَوْنَاسَبَتْ قَدْرَهُ اٰيَاتُهُ عِظَمًا - اَحْيَى اسْمُهُ حِينَ يُدْعٰى دَارِسَ الرِّمَمِ Meaning, "If the signs had shown his greatness and acceptance according to his station, not only the newly deceased, but perhaps even the decayed bones would have been brought back to life by his name."

But this miracle of food and the miracle of water is more of a kindness than a miracle; perhaps more of a favor than a kindness; perhaps more of a divine banquet, according to need, than a favor. Therefore, it is a proof of prophethood and a miracle; but the main point is, just as the Lord provided a single grain to feed a thousand batman of dates to an army that had gone hungry, so too does the Almighty provide a single sa' of food to feed a thousand people from the hidden treasure. And to a thirsty army of fighters, He causes water to flow from the fingers of the supreme commander, like water of Kawthar, and makes them drink. This is the secret reason why each example of the miracle of food and the miracle of water does not reach the degree of Hanin al-Ciz'. However, the types and varieties of those two miracles, in their entirety, are continuous and numerous, like Hanin al-Ciz'. Also, not everyone sees the blessing of the food and the water flowing from the fingers; only the results are seen. But everyone hears the weeping of the pole. Therefore, it spread widely. If someone were to say: "The Companions have preserved and transmitted with utmost care every word and action of the Messenger of Mercy, may peace and blessings be upon him. Why then do these great miracles come only in ten or twenty ways? They should have come in a hundred ways. Also, why does the narration of Hazrat Anas, Jabir, and Abu Huraira come so much more than that of Hazrat Abu Bakr and Umar?" The answer is: The answer to the first question has already been mentioned in the Third Basis of the Fourth Sign. The answer to the second question is: Just as a person who needs a medicine goes to a doctor, and for geometry goes to an engineer, and takes it from the engineer; for a legal matter, one consults a mufti, and so on... Similarly, among the Companions, a group of the learned scholars of the Companions were assigned, as it were, to teach the Prophetic hadiths to future generations, and they worked hard on it with all their strength. Yes, Hazrat Abu Huraira devoted his entire life to memorizing hadiths. Hazrat Umar was busy with the political world and the great caliphate. Therefore, for teaching hadiths to the ummah, he relied on people like Abu Huraira, Anas, and Jabir, who were trustworthy, reliable, loyal, and verified Companions, and thus narrated less from them. And since a Siddiq, Saduq, Sadik, and Musaddak Companion is well-known,
