JAZZALLAHU ANNA MUHAMMADAM MA HUWA AHLAHU
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Hazrat Khwaja Aminuddin Bu Hubaira Basri (Radi Allahu Anhu) was a leading Saint of his era.
For a period of thirty years, he remained in seclusion and engrossed in the remembrance of Allah. After 30 years, he supplicated to Allah with the following words, “O Allah! This poor Hubaira is in search of You; Guide me on the right path that will satisfy and bring comfort to my heart.”
A voice then said to him, “O Hubaira, leave your seclusion and go meet my friend, Huzaifa Mir’Ashi. Become his loyal servant, and learn the path of the durwesh from him, so that via his intercession, you may reach my closeness.”
When he heard this, he immediately left his seclusion and humbled himself in the service of Hazrat Khwaja Sadiduddin Huzaifa Mir’Ashi (Radi Allahu Anhu). A divine voice then said to him, “O Hubaira! Because you have joined the service of Huzaifa Mir’Ashi, We have accepted you, and made you a Friend of Ours.”
Hearing this, his heart became very pleased. Hazrat Khwaja Huzaifa Mir’Ashi, through his spiritual insight, immediately recognized Hazrat Khwaja Hubaira Basri (Radi Allahu Anhu) to be a pious person who had strived in Allah’s path by performing strenuous Mujaheda, and that he was sent to him for guidance by Allah.
Hazrat Khwaja Huzaifa Mir’Ashi (Radi Allahu Anhu) showed him a lot of love and affection and said to him, “O Hubaira! You have strived for 30 years and have become spiritually elevated, but you could not have reached the station of witnessing Allah’s Glory (Musha’ida). The reason for this is that you undertook this (spiritual strivings) on your own accord, and not under the guidance of a spiritual Master. One cannot reach this position (Musha’ida) out of one’s own accord, therefore it is necessary to be attached and under the guidance of a spiritual Master.”
These words had an effect on the heart of Hazrat Khwaja Hubaira Basri (Radi Allahu Anhu), and he immediately became the mureed of Hazrat Khwaja Sadiduddin Huzaifa Mir’Ashi (Radi Allahu Anhu).
Hazrat Khwaja Huzaifa Mir’Ashi (Radi Allahu Anhu) taught Hazrat Khwaja Hubaira Basri (Radi Allahu Anhu) some prayers (Wazaa’if) by which he reached Allah’s divine proximity within a week!
