Sayyiduna Shaykh Šabit Bunani قُدِّ سَ سِرُّہُ النُّورَانِی used to complete the recitation of the Holy Quran once every day. He رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَا لٰی عَلَیْہ would always observe fast during the day and offer supererogatory Salah throughout the night. He would always offer 2 Rak’at of Nafl alah in every Masjid he passed by (this Salah is known as Ta iyya-tul-Masjid). Revealing the blessings bestowed upon him, he says, ‘I have completed the recitation of the entire Holy Quran and I have wept in the court of my Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ next to each and every pillar of the Jami’ Masjid.’ He رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَا لٰی عَلَیْہ had exceptional love for alah and for the recitation of the Holy Quran, and the extent of the blessings upon him is coveted. Consequently, after his passing away, during the burial suddenly a brick slipped and fell into the grave. When some people leaned in to pick up the brick they were amazed to see that the Shaykh رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَا لٰی عَلَیْہ was standing in his grave and offering his alah! When his family members were asked about that, his respected daughter said: My honourable father رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَا لٰی عَلَیْہ would make the following supplication every day, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ ! If you grant anybody the blessing of offering alah in his grave after death, then privilege me too [with such a blessing].’ It is reported that whenever people would pass close by the blessed tomb of the Shaykh رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَا لٰی عَلَیْہ , they would hear the utterance of the recitation of the Holy Quran coming from inside the blessed grave.

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us for his sake!
اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَ مِیْن ﷺ
