THE BELOVED PROPHET LOVES HIM
For the sake of Bismillah, Allah Ta'ala made Shaykh 'Abdur Rahman Chohravi a Qutb, a great saint in Tariqa tu'l Qadiriyya. His amamah (prayer turban) was of Asma u'l Husna, his fingerprints were of Salawaat u'r Rasul and his lips and tongue were an unceasing chant of dua. The Holy Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam made him his very own, Shaykh 'Abdulqadir Jilani QaddasAllahu Sirrahu'l 'Azeez embraced him, and Nabi Nuh Alaihi'ssalaam lent him his Ark and taught him the verse:
Bismillahi majrayhaa wa mursaahaa
In the Name of Allah shall be its course and its anchoring (11:41).
He could see that on the Ark was written:
Laa Ilaha Illallah Muhammad u'r Rasulullah
None is to be worshipped but Allah. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
He boarded the Ark with Bismillah and at once inscribed Asma u'l Husna
on its sails, Salawaat u'r Rasul on its oars and dua on its masts. The
saints who were gathered at the riverbank all joined in the dua together
with thousands of angels. The anchor was drawn up after the recitation of Asma
u'l Husna which filled 14 pages. The fishes joined in the Salawaat
and Salaams and the birds chanted Allahu and Ahad, the blessed
Names of Allah most dear to the Shaykh. The river was smooth and swift flowing
and when it came to a gorge, the Shaykh was in full control, the only one who
understood such deep spiritual mysteries. As the Ark splashed into the sea, with
waves rising on both the sides, it formed the Name "Allah" in Arabic
and all aboard were drenched with river and sea water all together and the drenching
was Rahmah (Mercy) of Allah Ta'ala, each drop representing a thousand salawaat.
The sea would not be left out either and offered Hizb u'l Bahr of Imam
Abu'l Hasan Shazili Rahmatullahi 'alaih, the malaika (angels) hummed
the hamd, azkaar and awraad from Wird u'l Latif and the Ratib of
Mawlana al-Haddad, Naf'anAllahu Bih and the blood in the veins of the rowers
flowed with dua. Enough Asma-Allah, Salawaat and Dua
was recited to fill 1410 fullscap pages in 2 volumes of 15 chapters each. The
Ark came safely ashore with the following salaat:
Sallallahu 'alaihi wa 'alaa aalihi wa azwaajihi
Wa dhurriyyaatihi wa 'itratihi wa as'haabihi ajma'een.
Allah's blessings on him, his family, his wives,
his descendants, his offspring and his companions, all of them,
Rady Allahu 'Anhum.
