How Fortunate Is The Spider!

Dear Islamic brothers! By the grace of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the Noble Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہِ وَسَلَّم and Siddiq Al-Akbar رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ were successful and prosperous whereas the disbelievers who were in search were unsuccessful and disappointed. The spider prevented the search into the cave by casting such a web over the mouth of the cave that the disbelievers could not even think about spying into the cave through it. They returned disappointed and the spider was fortunate enough to earn an everlasting honor.

This has been discussed by Sayyiduna Ibn-e-Naqib رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہ in ‘Mukashafa-tul-Qulub’ as follows, ‘Silkworms knit a beautiful type of silk that is unrivaled, but the spider is thousands of times greater in rank than them because it knit its web over the mouth of the cave of Saur for the protection of the Holy Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہِ وَسَلَّم,’
