"Muhammad Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihe Wa Sallam."

It is written in a book entitled “Tatarkhania” that there was once a committee in Baghdad. The committee was called “Umra Committee.”

One of the goals of this committee was to help individuals in need of money through donation from the members. A Muslim once required 5000 in local currency. The committee decided to raise money through contribution from the members. During this time, a fire worshipper came up to the Muslim in need and gave him, in total secrecy, 5000 to pay off debts and another 5000 to start a business.

In the night, the fire worshipper was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “You have removed the difficulties of a Muslim. May Allah accept your endeavour.” At this, the individual asked: “May I know your identity?” The Beloved of Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied: “Muhammad Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihe Wa Sallam.” At this, the individual immediately accepted Islam at the blessed hand of the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). In the morning, the individual went to the central mosque and narrated this incident to everyone.

Tebrani (rahmatullahi alaihe) narrates that the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated that it is the duty of Muslims to show camaraderie, good will, and compassion towards each other and to live life as part of a body whereas if there is pain in one part of the body, then the pain is felt throughout the body.

Tebrani (rahmatullahi alaihe) states, after this narrating this Hadith, that he was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Tebrani (rahmatullahi alaihe) asked about the authenticity of this particular Hadith. At this, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) gestured with his blessed hand and stated: “Correct. Correct.”
