Labaik Allah Hummah Labaik, Labbaik La Shareeka Laka Labaik, Innal Hamda Wal Ni’amata Laka Wal Mulk, La Shareeka Lak!!!

I pray that you are all in the best state of health and Imaan, Ameen!

A Saint relates that once, having made intention of performing Hajj, he left for Baghdad Shareef from where he was to proceed to Hijaz. In Baghdad Shareef, he arrived at the house of Hazrat Abu Hazim Makki Rahmatullahi 'alayh where he found Hazrat Abu Hazim Makki Rahmatullahi 'alayh fast asleep. When he Rahmatullahi 'alayh awoke from his Rahmatullahi 'alayh sleep, he Rahmatullahi 'alayh came over to the Saint and told him, "I had the good fortune of seeing Rasoolallah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam in my dream just now, and He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam asked me to convey a message to you.''

"What is the message?" asked the Saint.

"He asked me to inform you that it would be better for you if you called off your journey to Hijaz for purpose of making Hajj, and spend time looking after your ageing mother and keep her happy at all times. This would enable you to perform your Hajj in the future with Allah's Pleasure."

The Saint, upon hearing this, returned home without performing Hajj.

Fi Aminillah
