"Tell Hakem to arrange water for the Muslims."

Renowned Muhaddith (scholar of Hadith) Abu Abdullah Hakem (rahmatullahi alaihe) had a scar on his face. He took all available treatments without any success. One year passed by without any visible improvement of the scar.

Abu Abdullah Hakem (rahmatullahi alaihe) once asked his spiritual mentor Abu Osman Sabuni (rahmatullahi alaihe) to pray for him. It was the day of Jumu’ah. Abu Osman Sabuni (rahmatullahi alaihe) prayed for a long time and every one present said ameen in unison.

Next Friday, a woman gave a letter. It was stated in the letter that the woman prayed in earnest for Hakem (rahmatullahi alaihe). At night, the woman was blessed with the auspicious 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: “Tell Hakem to arrange water for the Muslims.”

After this, Hakem (rahmatullahi alaihe) made the arrangement to provide water free of cost in front of his residence.

Within one week of this arrangement, the facial scar of Abu Abdullah Hakem (rahmatullahi alaihe) was completely healed. In addition to this, his face became much more good-looking than before.
