For 60 years, Sheikh Ibn Sabet (rahmatullahi alaihe) used to visit to Masjid an-Nabi in Madinah al-Munawara. He would return to Makkah al-Mukarramah after the end of his visit. One year Sheikh Ibn Sabet (rahmatullahi alaihe) could not come to Madinah al-Munawara because of some difficulty.
One day while in a state of drowsiness in his house, Sheikh Ibne Sabet (rahmatullahi alaihe) was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “Ibn Sabet, I have come to meet you since you did not come to meet me.”
