Sayyidunā Shaykh Šābit Bunānī قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـنُّـوۡرَانِی used to complete the recitation of the Holy Quran once
every day. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would always observe
fast during the day and offer supererogatory Ṣalāĥ throughout
the night. He would always offer 2 Rak’āt of Nafl Ṣalāĥ in every Masjid he
passed by (this Ṣalāĥ is known as Taḥiyya-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 Jāmi’ Masjid.’
He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی
عَلَيْه had exceptional love
for Ṣalāĥ 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 رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was standing in his grave
and offering his Ṣalāĥ! When his family members were asked about that, his
respected daughter said: My honourable father رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would
make the following supplication every day, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ!
If you grant anybody the blessing of offering Ṣalāĥ 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 رَحْمَةُ
اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, they would hear the utterance of the
recitation of the Holy Quran coming from inside the blessed grave. (Ḥilya-tul-Awliyā, vol. 2, pp. 362-366)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and
forgive us for his sake!
