Ninth: The scholars of my community are like the prophets of the Children of Israel, and the great saints of the House of Abraham (peace be upon them) are found in the House of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), including the great saints and Ali (r.a.), Hasan (r.a.), Hussein (r.a.), the twelve Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt, Gaws al-Azam (may peace be upon him), Ahmed ar-Rufai (may peace be upon him), Ahmed al-Bedawi (may peace be upon him), Ibrahim al-Dessouki (may peace be upon him), Abu al-Hasan ash-Shazili and others, who, in agreement, with a firm belief, through their knowledge and observation, and through the miraculous guidance and miracles they displayed in the community, affirm their faith and testimony in the prophethood, truthfulness, and loyalty to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Tenth: After the prophets, the most honored and noble group, the companions, who were mostly unlettered and from the desert tribes, in a short time, with the light of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), governed justly from east to west, defeating great empires and becoming masters, teachers, diplomats, and just judges for advanced, learned, and civilized nations, thus transforming that era into an age of prosperity. These companions, after thoroughly examining and observing with their own eyes the many miracles of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), completely abandoned their old enmities, their ancestral professions, and the traditions of their ancestors, and many of them (such as Khalid ibn al-Walid and Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl) renounced the religious affiliations of their fathers, their tribes and clans, and with total devotion and selflessness, entered Islam with full certainty. Their faith and unwavering, complete testimony in the loyalty and prophethood of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a most steadfast and absolute testimony.

With authentic and categorical narration, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, one of the ten promised paradise, informs us: "In the Battle of Uhud, we saw two white-robed figures on both sides of the Noble Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, as if they were guards. We understood that both were angels, and we recognized them as Jibril and Mikail."1 Could such a Muslim hero say "We saw," and yet it be possible that he did not see?
Abu Sufyan ibn Harb ibn Abdulmuttalib (the cousin of the Prophet), with authentic narration, reports: "In the Battle of Badr, we saw white-robed, horse-riding figures between the sky and the earth."2
Hazrat Hamza requested from the Noble Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying, "I want to see Jibril." The angel was shown to him. He could not bear it, lost consciousness, and fell to the ground.3
There are many such incidents of seeing angels. All these sightings indicate and prove that the angels are like moths to the lamp of the Prophethood of the Noble Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.
As for jinn, meeting and seeing them is not only common among the Companions, but even among the common people of the community. Most authentically and reliably, the hadith scholars tell us that Ibn Mas'ud said: "In the valley of Nahl, during the night when the jinn gathered, I saw jinn and compared them to the tall tribe of Sudan called Zut. They resembled them."4
It is well known and the hadith scholars have recorded and accepted the incident of Hazrat Khalid ibn al-Walid, who, when destroying the idol Uzza, saw a jinn come out of the idol in the form of a black woman. Hazrat Khalid cut her into two pieces with a sword. The Noble Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, decreed regarding this incident: "The people used to worship this idol Uzza. They will no longer worship it."5

SIXTH EXAMPLE: We will mention several certain incidents that emerged from the prayers and touch of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which are numerous miracles.
First: He gave some of his hair to Hazrat Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) and prayed for his victory. Hazrat Khalid kept those hairs in his helmet. Because of the blessing of that hair and the prayer, he never entered a battle without emerging victorious.
Second: Salman al-Farisi was once a slave of the Jews. His master asked for many things in exchange for his freedom. They said, “You will be freed by planting three hundred date palms and paying forty dinars of gold after they bear fruit.” Salman came to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and explained his situation. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, personally planted three hundred saplings around Medina. Only one was planted by someone else. That year, all the saplings planted by the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, bore fruit. Only the one planted by another did not bear fruit. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, removed it, replanted it, and it bore fruit.
He then took a small amount of gold the size of an egg, anointed it with his saliva, prayed over it, and gave it to Salman. He said, “Go and give this to the Jews.” Salman went and gave them the forty dinars from that small amount of gold. The small amount of gold remained intact as it was before. This incident is one of the most important miraculous events in the blessed life of Hazrat Salman al-Farisi; it has been reported by reliable and accepted scholars.
Third: A female companion named Umm Malik used to give oil to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a small leather container called an "ukka." One time, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed for her and gave her the ukka, commanding her: “Do not empty it or squeeze it.” Umm Malik took the ukka. Whenever her children asked for oil, they would always find oil in it due to the blessing of the Prophet’s prayer. This continued for a long time. Eventually, they squeezed it, and the blessing ceased.

FIFTH EXAMPLE: The terrible acceptance of bad wishes for specific people is evident. There are many examples of this. We mention three definite examples as samples.
First: It was wished for Utba bin Abi Lahab as follows:
"O Allah, send a dog upon him from your dogs." That is, "O Lord, send a dog upon him." Later, when Utba was going on a journey, a lion came and searched for him in the caravan and tore him apart. This incident is well known; the Imams of Hadith have narrated and verified it.
Second: It was Muhalhim ibn Jasham, who had killed Amir ibn Azwad with treachery. However, Amir had been appointed by the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as a commander for jihad and war, and had been sent with a group. Muhalhim was with him. When the news of this treachery reached the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he became angry and said, "O Allah, do not forgive Muhalhim." Seven days later, Muhalhim died. When they placed him in the grave, the grave threw him out. They placed him several times, but the ground did not accept him. Eventually, they were forced to build a strong wall between two stones, and he was buried in that manner.
Third: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a man eating with his left hand. He commanded him, "Eat with your right hand." The man said, "I cannot do it with my right hand." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "You will not be able to do it." After that, the man was never able to raise his right hand again.

Second: The Najd region, which had turned to apostasy under the fitna of Musaylimah al-Kazzab, was subdued by the sword of Khalid ibn al-Walid during the caliphate of the Rightly Guided Caliph Abu Bakr (r.a.). This led to the Najd people developing a deep-seated resentment and hostility towards the Rightly Guided Caliphs and thus, the Ahl al-Sunna and the Muslim community.
Even though they are entirely Muslim, they still do not forget the blows their ancestors once suffered. Just as the people of Iran, whose state was destroyed and whose pride was shattered by the just strike of Caliph Umar (r.a.), the Shiites, under the pretense of love for the Ahl al-Bayt, have always been hostile towards Caliph Umar (r.a.) and Caliph Abu Bakr (r.a.), and thus, the Ahl al-Sunna and the Muslim community, seizing every opportunity to attack them.
Third principle: Prominent figures of the Wahhabis, such as the great imam and brilliant scholar Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Kayyim al-Jawziyyah, have excessively attacked great saints like Al-Muhyiddin al-Arabi (k.s.). They claim to defend the superiority of Caliph Abu Bakr (r.a.) over Caliph Ali (r.a.) in the context of the Ahl al-Sunna faith, and in doing so, they greatly devalue the worth of Caliph Ali (r.a.). They belittle his extraordinary virtues and deny and declare as non-Muslims many great saints like Al-Muhyiddin al-Arabi (k.s.).
Moreover, since the Wahhabis consider themselves followers of the Hanbali school of Ahmed ibn Hanbal, and since the Honorable Ahmed ibn Hanbal was a great scholar who memorized and transmitted a million hadiths, was the leader of the strict Hanbali school, and was an expert and virtuous figure in the matter of the people of the Qur'an, they misuse the name of religion by adopting the Hanbali school, which is somewhat Zahirite and individualistic and opposed to the Alevis, to destroy the tombs of some saints and consider themselves justified in doing so. However, if they have any right to do so, they often add ten times more.
