after performing Hajj, I said as-salaam alaikum at the grave of
Rasoolullah and behold, I heard a voice in reply from the inside of
the room wherein he is buried saying ‘Walaikum as-salaam.’” 235
2. In Medina, there lived a woman from the Hashimi family,
whose servants used to ill-treat her. She went with her complaints
to Rasoolullah, where she poured out her heart. From the grave
was heard his reply: “Do you not prefer to follow my excellent
example. Have patience as I patiently persevered.” She said:
“After hearing that voice all my grief disappeared and all the
servants who used to annoy me passed away.” 236
3. “Sayyed Ahmad Rifa’ee visited Medina and standing in front of
the grave of Rasoolullah recited few couplets asking Allah’s
Messenger to bring forth his hand. Indeed, was the hand of
Rasoolullah stretched from the grave and in the presence of an
estimated 90 thousand visitors did Ahmad kiss it. 237
