In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
âOâ Allah shower Thy blessings on our Master Muhammad ï·ș in such a measure that earns Thy pleasure and shower Thy blessings on our Master Muhammad ï·ș exceeding that measure which has earned Thy pleasure and shower Thy blessings upon our Master Muhammad ï·ș for ever and ever â.
Sayyiduna Mughira ibn Shuâba was one of the great Imams of the companions, an elite.
Sayyiduna Mughira is one of the five people who buried the Prophet ï·ș, Although he is not related to the Prophet ï·ș he lived in the same house and was regarded as family.
He is from the 5 whom: washed, shrouded and buried the Messenger of Allah, ï·ș
In his words;
âI am the last person to touch the body of the Messenger of Allah.â
We would get people who after hearing such a statement would start shouting âSHIRK! BIDAH! KUFR! What do you mean to touch someonesâ body?â
As expected, this incident would cause an uproar to the unorthodox, who would deem such an act as extremely unwarranted veneration.
Look at the understanding and Manhaj of the Sahaaba;
Sayyiduna Mughira was boasting about touching the beautiful body of RasulAllah ï·ș.
Sayyiduna Mughira;
âWhen the Prophet ï·ș was buried, I just threw my ring down into the grave.â
âOops, my ring!â he cried, as though it was an accident.
So He then descends into the grave of the Prophet ï·ș and he begins to touch the Messenger of Allah, ï·ș.
He takes his ring and climbs back out.
SubhanAllah, what an intelligent man he was.
An intelligent man he was out of his desperation to be the last one honoured to touch the Messenger of God ï·ș.
May Allah increase our love for The Prophet ï·ș and those who loved the Prophet ï·ș, Ameen.
