Spiritual Pilgrimage of Huzur Mufti e Azam

Released on the blessed occasion of the Urs of Huzur Mufti e Azam, 14th Muharram 1435 AH. May Allah accept these humble efforts through his blessed Wasila

Narrated by Mufti Shareef ul Haq, alayhir rahmah:

Once a resident of Bareilly returned from Hajj and began to question people regarding when Mufti e Azam left for Hajj, and whether he has returned yet or not? The people informed him that Hazrat did not perform Hajj this year. They also told him that Hazrat lead the Eid prayer and we all prayed behind him. In confusion, the pilgrim asked “What are you all talking about? I saw Hazrat performing Tawaf (circumambulation around the Holy Ka’baa), I saw him in Masjid-e-Haram, Mina, Arafat and I even met him in all these places. I also saw him praying Salah in Masjid-e-Nabawi and even presenting his Salam in the court of the Prophet (endless peace and salutations be upon him).

Hearing this, everyone became shocked. However, they still continued to remark that it must surely be a misconception, for Hazrat did not leave to perform Hajj this year. The pilgrim reiterated, “It was not a misconception; I swear that I met him there, I kissed his blessed hands, talked to him and without doubt saw him presenting his Salam in the Masjid-e-Nabawi. The people told him once again that Hazrat did not perform Hajj this year. The pilgrim himself told me (Mufti Shareeful Haq) and I also heard this from many others.

When this pilgrim presented his self in the court of Mufti e Azam, Hazrat looked at him in happiness and smiled. The pilgrim sat and continued to look at Hazrat. Hazrat directed his attention towards the pilgrim and asked him regarding his journey to the two holy sanctuaries. Hazrat, in a calm and kind manner, said to the pilgrim that “not everything is supposed to be told to everyone: remember that”. Subsequently, the pilgrim became a disciple of Hazrat.
