"Come join me for the salaat."

Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kazem Kolondor Olovi Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) was the greatest successor to Hazrat Shah Baset Ali (rahmatullahi alaihe).

Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) once missed the Jumu’a prayer when he was eight or nine years old. Because of this, Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) went through extreme mental agony.

Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) fell asleep with this agony. He was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) saw that there was a congregation at the august court of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and preparations were underway for salaat. In the dream, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) asked Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe): “Have you offered salaat?” Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) replied: “No.” The Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “Then come join me for the salaat.”

In the dream, Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) wanted to stand in the rear row. However, Hazrat Ali (radi Allah unhu) pulled Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi (rahmatullahi alaihe) towards him. Hazrat Shah Muhammad Kakurovi thus (rahmatullahi alaihe) stood beside Hazrat Ali (radi Allah unhu).
