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 EXAMPLE: When the Prophet visited the house of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Abu Ayyub said:
"I have prepared a meal for two people sufficient for the Prophet of Mercy (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr al-Siddiq." He ordered him:
1. "Invite thirty of the most honorable of the Ansar." Thirty men came, ate, and then he ordered: 2. "Invite sixty more." Sixty more were invited, came, and ate. Then he ordered: 3. "Invite seventy more." Seventy more were invited, came, and ate. There was still food left in the pots. All those who came witnessed this miracle and embraced Islam and took the oath of allegiance. One hundred and eighty men ate from that meal for two people.4
THIRD EXAMPLE: According to multiple narrations from Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab, Abu Hurayra, Salim ibn al-Akwa, and Abu Amr al-Ansari, among others:
An army was stationed in a fortress and ran out of food. They turned to the Prophet of Mercy (peace and blessings be upon him) for help. He ordered: "Collect the remaining provisions left in your bags." Everyone brought a small piece of dates. The most anyone could bring was four handfuls. They placed them on a mat.
Salim said: "I estimated the total amount, and it was barely enough for a single goat." Then the Prophet of Mercy (peace and blessings be upon him) recited a prayer for blessings and ordered: "Bring your vessels." Everyone rushed and came. Not a single vessel in that army was left empty; all were filled, and there was still an excess.
A companion reported: "From the nature of that blessing, I understood that if the people of the earth had come, it would have been sufficient for them as well."5

EIGHTH RESHA: Friend! You know that it is very difficult to give up even a small habit, like smoking. Indeed, even a great judge, with great determination, would encounter great difficulties in eliminating a virtue practiced by a small people. However, this luminous being, with a small force, in a short time, removed many customs and many stubborn, obstinate peoples, and filled their places with noble and virtuous morals and customs.
Yes, the condition of Hazrat Omar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) before and after Islam is a good example of this matter. Likewise, there are thousands of miracles from his fundamental deeds. We call the deeds of that being miracles. Now, suppose hundreds of philosophers of this time had gone to that wild island at that time and worked for a very long time to reform those wild people, could they achieve as much in fifty years as that guided being achieved in one year? Heaven forbid!
NINTH RESHA: Friend! A sane man cannot lie in a controversial matter, because he fears that his lie will be exposed and he will be disgraced. Likewise, a person cannot lie in a careless, indifferent manner. Likewise, he cannot speak freely and passionately, even if it is an ordinary matter, a small person in a small community, and a small duty. Can a person entrusted with a great duty, in a very important matter, with great honor and dignity, in a very large community, and in the face of very fierce enemies, lie and speak against the truth in a claim he makes?

THIRTEENTH EXAMPLE: The reliable imams such as Abu Dawood, Ahmed ibn Hanbal, and Imam Beyhaki, transmit through multiple routes from Al-Dukeyn al-Ahmasi ibn Said al-Muzayni, who was in conversation with six brothers and was one of the Companions, and from Numayn ibn Mukarrin al-Ahmasiyy al-Muzayni and from Jarir, that from Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab:
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded Hazrat Umar: "Give provisions and supplies for four hundred riders who have come from the tribe of Ahmas." Hazrat Umar said: "O Messenger of Allah, the available supplies are only a few. Each portion is as much as a settled camel calf." The command was given: "Go and give." He went and gave them from half a load of dates, which was sufficient for the four hundred riders. And he said: It remained in its original state as if it had not been diminished at all.
Indeed, this miraculous event of abundance occurred in relation to four hundred people and especially in relation to Hazrat Umar. These reports are behind them. Their silence is an affirmation; do not dismiss them as only one or two isolated reports. Such events, even if they are isolated reports, give the conviction of a spiritual consensus.
FOURTEENTH EXAMPLE: First, Al-Bukhari and Muslim, in their authentic books, report that:
Hazrat Jabir's father passed away. He had a large debt, was heavily indebted, and the creditors were Jews. Jabir gave his father's actual property to the guremaya (creditors), but they refused to accept it. Indeed, the fruits from his orchard would not be sufficient to pay off the debt in several years. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded: "Pluck the fruits of the orchard and harvest them." They did so. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, walked through the harvest and prayed.
