Saved From Torment Of The Grave

Once an upset young man came to Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم and exclaimed, ‘Your Honour! Last night, I saw my late father in a dream and he told me, ‘Son! I am being tormented in the grave; go present yourself in the court of Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم and ask him to pray for me.’ Upon hearing, Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم asked the young man, ‘Did your father ever walk past my Madrasaĥ?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم became quiet and the young man returned home. The following day the young man happily returned and said, ‘O friend of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I saw my late father again in my dream, he was wearing a green gown and was very happy, he told me, ‘With the prayer of Sayyīdunā Sheikh Abdul Qādir Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه the torment of the grave has been terminated and I have also been granted this green gown. My dear son! Remain in servitude to Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم.’ Hearing that, Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم said, ‘My Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ has promised me that the torment of a Muslim who walked past my Madrasaĥ will be reduced.’ (Baĥjat-ul-Asrār, pp. 194)
