"Extend help without delay so that they can observe the Eid."

Hazrat Abul Hassan Tamimi (rahmatullahi alaihe) narrates that he was once going through a period of extreme financial hardship. On the eve of Eid, his financial situation took a turn for the worse. Hazrat Abul Hassan Tamimi (rahmatullahi alaihe) did not have any money to buy food and new clothes for the children.

During the night, Hazrat Abul Hassan Tamimi (rahmatullahi alaihe) heard a knock on his front door. He found that Ibn Abi Omar was waiting at the door for him. Ibn Abi Omar informed Hazrat Abul Hassan Tamimi (rahmatullahi alaihe) that a few moments ago he 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: “Abul Hassan Tamimi and his family are in extreme financial hardship. Extend help without delay so that they can observe the Eid.”

Upon awakening, Ibn Abi Omar purchased some new clothes for Hazrat Abul Hassan Tamimi (rahmatullahi alaihe) and his family.

In this manner, arrangements were made for Hazrat Abul Hassan Tamimi (rahmatullahi alaihe) and his family to celebrate the Eid.
