Analysis of the Poem
For had it not been for him this world would not have come out of non
existence. (Chapter 3/10)
1) This is an extreme exaggeration in the description of the Prophet Muhammad (sallah allahu alieh wasalam). We love the Prophet Muhammad (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) but this love has a limit we cannot go beyond or below. For example, because of our love of the Prophet we cannot say he is the son of Allah, as the Christians went into an extreme in loving their prophet. If we did this, we would be just like the Christians.
In this line Al-Busairi said the universe was not created except for the purpose of the Prophet Muhammad (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) .
Allah said "And I have not created human and jinn but to worship me." (Althariyat:56)

Ibn Taymiyyah:
Explaining the hadiths Allah says,
" Had it not being for you Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم,) I would have never created the universe ,
Ibn Taymiyyah said in Majmu 11:95 giving explanation of wordings of this hadith ,
ويمكن أن يفسر بوجه صحيح كقوله. (سخر لكم ما في السماوات وما في الأرض) وقوله: (وسخر لكم الفلك لتجري في البحر بأمره وسخر لكم الأنهار وسخر لكم الشمس والقمر دائبين وسخر لكم الليل والنهار وآتاكم من كل ما سألتموه وإن تعدوا نعمة الله لا تحصوها) وأمثال ذلك من الآيات التي يبين فيها أنه خلق المخلوقات لبني آدم ومعلوم أن لله فيها حكما عظيمة غير ذلك [ص: 97 ] وأعظم من ذلك ولكن يبين لبني آدم ما فيها من المنفعة وما أسبغ عليهم من النعمة. فإذا قيل: فعل كذا لكذا لم يقتض أن لا يكون فيه حكمة أخرى. وكذلك قول القائل: لولا كذا ما خلق كذا لا يقتضي أن لا يكون فيه حكم أخرى عظيمة بل يقتضي إذا كان أفضل صالحي بني آدم محمد وكانت خلقته غاية مطلوبة وحكمة بالغة مقصودة [أعظم] من غيره صار تمام الخلق ونهاية الكمال حصل بمحمد صلى اله عليه وسلم. والله خلق السموات والأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام وكان آخر الخلق يوم الجمعة وفيه خلق آدم وهو آخر ما خلق خلق يوم الجمعة بعد العصر في آخر يوم الجمعة. وسيد ولد آدم هو محمد صلى اله عليه وسلم – آدم فمن دونه تحت لوائه – قال صلى اله عليه وسلم (إني عند الله لمكتوب خاتم النبيين وإن آدم لمنجدل في طينته) أي كتبت نبوتي وأظهرت لما خلق آدم قبل نفخ الروح فيه كما يكتب الله رزق العبد وأجله وعمله وشقي أو سعيد إذا خلق الجنين قبل نفخ الروح فيه. فإذا كان الإنسان هو خاتم المخلوقات وآخرها [ص: 98 ] وهو الجامع لما فيها وفاضله هو فاضل المخلوقات مطلقا ومحمد إنسان هذا العين، وقطب هذه الرحى وأقسام هذا الجمع كان كأنها غاية الغايات في المخلوقات فما ينكر أن يقال: إنه لأجله خلقت جميعها وإنه لولاه لما خلقت فإذا فسر هذا الكلام ونحوه بما يدل عليه الكتاب والسنة قبل ذلك,]
Explaining the hadiths Allah says " Had it not being for you Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم), I would have never created the universe , IBN Taymiyyah said in Majmu 11:95 giving explanation of wordings of this hadith , “And it is possible to interpret [it] with a sound meaning, like His statement ([Allah ] has made what is in the heavens and what is in the earth subservient to you), and His statement (And [He] has made the ships subservient to you, that they might run their course in the sea by His command, and He has made the rivers subservient to you. And He has made subservient to you the sun and the moon pursuing their courses, and He has made subservient to you the night and the day. And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you count Allah ’s favors, you will not be able to number them) as well as other such verses that make it clear that [Allah ] created all of creation for the sake of the children of Adam. , It is well known that Allah has a great authority over it besides [what we have mentioned about] it and a vastly greater [one], but He [has stated this to] let the children of Adam know what is in it for their benefit, and how perfect are His blessings upon them. “…Since the best of the righteous ones from the children of Adam {A} is Muhammad {S}, creating him was a desirable end of deep-seated purposeful wisdom, more so than for anyone else , and hence the completion of creation and the fulfilment of perfection was attained with Muhammad…
“…The best of the children of Adam is Muhammad {S} – Adam and his children being under his banner.
He {S} said: “Truly, I was written as the Seal of the Prophets with Allah , when Adam was being kneaded in his clay”, that is, my prophethood was decreed and manifested when Adam was created before the breathing of the Spirit into him, just as Allah decrees the sustenance, lifespan, deeds and misery or happiness of the person, when He creates the embryo [but] before the breathing of the spirit in it.
“Since man is the seal and last of all creation, and its microcosm, and since the best of man is thus the best of all creation absolutely,
then Muhammad – being the light of the eye, the axis of the mill, and the distributor to the collective – is as it were the ultimate purpose from amongst all the purposes of creation. Thus it cannot be rejected if it is said “Due to him all of this was created”, or that “Were it not for him, all this would not have been created”. So if this statement and others like it are thus explained according to what the Book and the Sunna indicate, it is acceptable.

Hadith
The Prophet of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: “Allah said: When Adam made the mistake, he asked: O Allah! I ask you for the sake of Muhammad to forgive me. Allah said: O Adam! How do you recognise Muhammad when I have not yet created him? Adam said: O Allah! When you created me and blew into me the spirit, I lifted my head and saw written on the ‘Arsh ‘La ilaaha illallah Muhammadur rasoolullah’. So, I got to know that you would only join your name with him who is most beloved to you. Allah said: O Adam! You have spoken the truth. Indeed Muhammad is more beloved to me than anything and when you asked me for his sake, I pardoned you. If Muhammad was not in existence, I would not have created you” (Also from Imam Subki in Shifa as-Siqam and Shihab in Naseem)
Now checking authenticity of this hadith according to classical scholars
It was transmitted through many chains and was cited by Bayhaqi (in Dala'il al-nubuwwa)
Abu Nu`aym (in Dala'il al-nubuwwa),
al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak (2:615),
al-Tabarani in his Saghir (2:82, 207) with another chain containing sub-narrators unknown to Haythami as he stated in Majma` al-zawa'id (8:253),
and Ibn `Asakir on the authority of `Umar ibn al-Khattab, and most of these narrations were copied in Qastallani's al-Mawahib al-laduniyya (and al-Zarqani's Commentary 2:62).
Although Ibn Taymiyyah declared it weak but accepted the meaning.Ibn Taymiyyah Issue is discussed in detail here
This hadith is declared sound by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak (2:651), . However, when he mentions this hadith he says: "Its chain is sound, and it is the first hadith of Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam which I mention in this book";
al-Hakim also declares sound another version through Ibn `Abbas.
Classical scholar’s
al-Bulqini declares this hadith sound in his Fatawa.
al-Subki confirms al-Hakim's authentication (in Shifa' al-siqam fi ziyarat khayr al-anam p. 134-135) although Ibn Taymiyya's rejection and criticism of this hadith was known to him and he rejects ibn taymiyyah jirrah as well as saying that Ibn Taymiyya's extreme weakening of Ibn Zayd is exaggerated.
The hadith is also included by Qadi `Iyad among the "sound and famous narrations" in al-Shifa, and he says that Abu Muhammad al-Makki and Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi mention it; Qadi `Iyad says: "It is said that this hadith explains the verse: 'And Adam received words from his Lord and He relented towards him' (2:37)";
he continues to cite another very similar version through al-Ajurri (d. 360), about whom al-Qari said: "al-Halabi said: This seems to be the imam and guide Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn `Abd Allah al-Baghdadi, the compiler of the books al-Shari`a devoted to the Sunna, al-Arba`un, and others.'" This is confirmed by Ibn Taymiyya in his Qa`ida fi al-tawassul: "It is related by Shaykh Abu Bakr al-Ajurri, in his book al-Shari`a."
Ibn al-Jawzi also considers it sound (sahih) as he cites it in the first chapter of al-Wafa bi ahwal al-mustafa, in the introduction of which he says: "(In this book) I do not mix the sound hadith with the false," although he knew of `Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd's weakness as a narrator; he also mentions the version of Maysarat al-Fajr whereby the Prophet says: "When satan deceived Adam and Eve, they repented and sought intercession to Allah with my name"; Ibn al-Jawzi also says in the chapter concerning the Prophet's superiority over the other Prophets in the same book: "Part of the exposition of his superiority to other Prophets is the fact that Adam asked his Lord through the sanctity (hurmat) of Muhammad that He relent towards him, as we have already mentioned."
Imam Suyuti cites it in his Qur'anic commentary al-Durr al-manthur (2:37) and in al-Khasa'is al-kubra (1:12) and in al-Riyad al-aniqa fi sharh asma' khayr al-khaliqa (p. 49), where he says that Bayhaqi considers it sound; this is due to the fact that Bayhaqi said in the introduction to the Dala'il that he only included sound narrations in his book,
Others who mentioned it are:►Ibn Kathir mentions it after Bayhaqi in al-Bidayat wa al-Nihaya (1:75, 1:180).
► al-Haythami in Majma` al-zawa'id (8:253 #28870)
So meaning is true alhamduliallah, even hadith is sound according to majority of classical scholars, So what people of bidah today have to say is not important for us

This goes back to some major misguidance which is present in Sufi belief. Alhalaj said, "The Prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) has brightness before the universe was created, and from it every (piece of) knowledge and every thing was derived, he even supplied the previous messengers."

We sent you not but as a mercy for all the worlds." (Holy Qur'an, 21:107)
people should know that when Quran says that Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) is mercy for all worlds than Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) is the greatest Mercy even for Past and present Prophets [aleh islam] . Why do we see the literalists rejection Quran now ?
Sahih Bukhari Book 1: 5
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostle was the most generous of all the people, and he used to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach him the Qur'an. Allah's Apostle was the most generous person, even more generous than the strong uncontrollable wind
Hadith
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: Lo I found myself in the presence of my Lord, the Blessed and the Glorious, in the best form. He said: Muhammad! I said: At Thy service, my Lord. He said: What these highest angels contend about? I said: I do not know. He repeated it thrice. He said: I don’t know, Then I saw Him put his palms between my shoulder blades till I felt the coldness of his fingers between the two sides of my chest. THEN EVERYTHING WAS ILLUMINATED TO ME AND I RECOGNIZED EVERYTHING!
[Transmitted by Imam Tirmidhi who said: This is a hasan sahih hadith and I asked Muhammad ibn Isma'il about this hadith and he said: It is a Hassan Sahih hadith. (Sunnan Tirimdhi, Volume No. 5, Page No. 368-369, Tafsir Surah S'ad, Hadith No. 3235)
Read the article: Necessity of Loving Prophet
So when it comes to creations Prophet (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) has the most knowledge after the creator which is proved from Quran and authentic hadiths.
So he claims that loving Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam] is wrong even if Muslims don't take Him [salehalawaalihi wasalam] as God as Christians did
Narated By Anas : The Prophet said "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind."
Reference►Sahih Bukhari Volume 001, Book 002, Hadith Number 014
How Sahabas [ra] loved the Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam]
Narrated Ibn Sirrn:
I said to 'Ablda, "I have some of the hair of the Prophet which I got from Anas or from his family." 'Abida replied. "No doubt if I had a single hair of that it would have been dearer to me than the whole world and whatever is in it."
Reference► Volume 1, Book 4, Number 171: Sahih Bukhari
So didn't Sahabas [ra] know how to love Him [salehalawaalihi wasalam] and bidatis like Ahmed Jibrael are telling us new theories.

This just shows lack of knowledge of Ahmed Jibrael who some immature muslims follow blindly , This shows he not only accuses Sahabas [ra] of shirk and extremism but also lacks proper knowledge of How Sahabas [ra] used to love Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam]
Sahabas (ra) Love with the Coolness of His Hands
Jabir b. Samura reported: I prayed along with Allah's Messenger (SAW) the first prayer. He then went to his family and I also went along with him when he met some children (on the way). He began to pat the cheeks of each one of them. He also patted my cheek and I experienced a coolness or a fragrance of his hand as if it had been brought out from the scent bag of a perfumer. (Muslim Book 30, No. 5758)
Love with the Softness of His Body
Anas reported: I never smelt ambergris or musk as fragrant as the fragrance of the body of Allah's Messenger (SAW) and I never touched brocade or silk and found it as soft as the body of Allah's Messenger (SAW). (Muslim Book 30, No. 5759)
Sahabas [ra] Love with the Shoes which he wore
Hazrat Abdur Rehman (RA) said: I saw Allah's Apostle wearing non-hairy shoes… So I love to wear similar shoes. (Bukhari Vol. 1, Book 4, No. 167)
His Hair is Dearer to Sahabas [ra] than the Whole World
Narated By Ibn Sirrn : I said to 'Ablda, "I have some of the hair of the Prophet which I got from Anas or from his family." 'Abida replied. "No doubt if I had a single hair of that it would have been dearer to me than the whole world and whatever is in it." (Bukhari Vol. 1, Book 4, No. 171 / Bahaqi)
Sahabas [ra] Cure through Water which touched His Hair
Narrated IsraiI: Uthman bin 'Abdullah bin Mauhab said, "My people sent me with a bowl of water to Um Salama." Isra'il approximated three fingers ('indicating the small size of the container in which there was some hair of the Prophet.
'Uthman added, "If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Um Salama. I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet) and saw a few red hairs in it" (Bukhari Vol. 7, Book 72, No. 784)
Sahabas [ra] Distributing His Hair in People
Anas b. Malik (RA) reported: Allah's Messenger (SAW) turned (the right side) of his head towards the barber, and i.e. shaved it. He then called Abu Talha al-Ansari and gave it to him. He then turned his left side and asked him (the barber) to shave. And he (the barber) shaved and gave it to Abu Talha and told him to distribute it amongst the people. (Muslim (repeated 4 times e.g. Book 7, No. 2994) / Tirmizi / Nisai / Abu Daood / others)
Narrated Sahih al-Bukhari, as well as many other authentic books of hadith, and is as follows:
Urwa came to the Prophet (PBUH) and when he returned to his people (the Kuffar of Makkah) he said to them, "O people! By Allah, I have been to the kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An-Najashi (as an ambassador), yet I have never seen any of them respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is respected by his companions. By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them who would rub it on his face and skin ; if he ordered them, they would carry out his order immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water ; and when they spoke, they would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect." (Sahih al-Bukhari Vol. 3, Book 50, No. 891 / Ahmad Ibn Hanbal / Tabarani / Ibn Hibban / Ba'haqi)
This shows extreme love of Sahabas (Ra) for our beloved Prophet (salehalawaalihi wasalama) from Sahih hadiths , Where Sahabas (ra) also doing shirk ?
----------------------
Quote wahabi/salafi:
“I take an oath (of truth) by the moon that was split, it bears.
A connection with his heart (which shows) the truth of my oath. (Chapter 5/7-8)
6) Here the author gives an oath by the moon. As we know, giving an oath by other than Allah is minor shirk. The Prophet (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) said, "Whomever gives an oath by other than Allah has committed Shirk or kufer."
Ibn Abdel Albar said, "It is not permissible to give an oath by other than Allah in any manner or form, and it is united upon by scholars."

This again shows lack of knowledge of jibrael Ahmed
Oath are of different kinds► Oath given in the name of Allah [swt]► Oath given to the state, My Army soldiers,► Oath of allegiance [a sunnah] given to a religious caliph or scholar► Oaths given by students and doctors upon entering a college or graduating ,► Oaths given by presidents /PMs before they start a job
So Ahmed Jibrael again has put all the oaths in same category and declared every other oath as shirk in his ignorance.Without doubt this is the khawariji trait he is following
Sahih Muslim Book 20 Hadith 4562
It has been reported on the authority of Nafi, that 'Abdullah b. Umar paid a visit to Abdullah b. Muti' in the days (when atrocities were perpetrated on the People Of Medina) at Harra in the time of Yazid b. Mu'awiya. Ibn Muti' said: Place a pillow for Abu 'Abd al-Rahman (family name of 'Abdullah b. 'Umar). But the latter said: I have not come to sit with you. I have come to you to tell you a tradition I heard from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). I heard him say: One who withdraws his band from obedience will find no argument (in his defence) when he stands before Allah on the Day of Judgment, and one who dies without having bound himself by an oath of allegiance will die the death of one belonging to the days of Jahillyya.
So what about this oath of allegiance which is a sunnah [taking Bait/bayah] This just shows intellectual level of Ahmed Jibrael

Quote wahabi/salafi:
“I did not ask for the wealth of the two worlds from his hand.
But I received a great gift the best hand that was ever kissed. (Chapter 5/19-20)
7) The author says he would like to achieve the richness of both worlds in this life and the hereafter from the Prophet Muhammad (sallah allahu alieh wasalam) .
However, Allah says:
"Whatever grant you have is from Allah." (Nahl:53)
"See from Allah your rizk and worship him." (AlAnkaboot: 17)
"And say who gives you rizk from the sky and earth." (Younis:31)
Finally, as a warning to us with regards to this matter, Allah says, "Say: (O Muhammad to those polytheists, pagans, etc.) "Call upon those whom you assert (to be associate gods) besides Allah, they possess not even the weight of an atom (or a small ant), either in the heavens or on the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor there is for Him any supporter from among them.”

Let us see what Sahih Bukhari says ,
What authority Allah [swt] gave to the Prophet [salehalawalihi wasalam]
Bukhari Book 8 Hadith 216
Bukhari Book 8 Hadith 216
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari: Allah's Apostle said, "Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya (1), for I am Al-Qasim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allah's blessings." This narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the ! Prophet said so.
Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir: One day the Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud and then went up the pulpit and said, "I will pave the way for you as your predecessor and will be a witness on you. By Allah! I see my Fount (Kauthar) just now and I have been given the keys of all the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that you will worship others along with Allah after my death, but I am afraid that you will fight with one another for the worldly things.
Ahmed jibrael then quoted , Allah says, "Say: (O Muhammad to those polytheists, pagans, etc.) "Call upon those whom you assert (to be associate gods) besides Allah, they possess not even the weight of an atom (or a small ant), either in the heavens or on the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor there is for Him any supporter from among them.

So this person has quoted verses of idols for our beloeved Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam ] Naoozbila , This is enough to see how much knowledge and faith this individual has.
Now concerning the hand of Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam] as mentioned in the verse , let us see authentic hadiths on the issue
Hadith one
When Qatâda ibn al-Nu'mân was wounded in the eye by an arrow on the day of Uhud, his eyeball was dislodged and hung on his cheek. His companions wanted to cut it off, but decided to consult the Prophet first. He said, "No!" then ordered Qatâda brought to him, pushed his eyeball back into place with his hand, blowing some of his spittle on it then said, "O Allah, give him beauty!" It became Qatâda's best eye and when the other eye suffered from infection, that one never did.
► Bayhaqi in Dala'il 3/252 , al-Hakim, Mustadrak, 3:334
Hadith two
Abayd ibn Hammâl suffered from an illness that ate at his face. The Prophet passed his hand over his face and it disappeared without leaving a trace
► Abu Nu'aym, Dala'il 1:172, Bayhaqi, and ibn Sa'd.
Hadith three
'Abdallah ibn 'Atîk went to Khaybar to kill the infamous Jew, Abû Râfi', in the latter's house. As he was leaving the house he fell and broke his ankle. He bandaged it and hobbled to his companions, then they rode back together to Madina. The Prophet said, "Stretch your leg!" He passed his hand over the broken bones and they mended there and then.
►Bukhari 4:1483
Hadith four
Abû Zayd al-Ansârî said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, passed his hand over my head, saying, 'O Allah, make him fair looking and preserve the fairness!'" He lived until he was well over a hundred years old without any grey hairs appearing in his beard. His face remained smooth until he died
►Ahmad 5:77, 5:340, Bayhaqi in Dala'il 6:210.
Hadith Five
Anas recounted another similar incident thus, "Once when the Prophet of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, and his Companions were at al-Zawrâ', and al-Zawrâ' is in Madina near the market and the mosque, he called for a cup partly filled with water, put his hand in it and water started gushing from between his fingers so that all his Companions made their ablutions." "How many were they, O Abû Hamza?" he was asked. "They were about three hundred," he replied [Muslim 4: 1783 ]
So even Sahabas (ra) used to get Barkat [blesssing ] from hands of our beloeved Prophet [salehalawaalihi wasalam] as mentioned above, So how is this verse shirk ? This reveals one more ignorance and blind following of Ahmed Jibrael
--------------------------------
Quote wahabi/salafi:
“Allah says, "And invoke not besides Allah, any that will neither profit you, nor hurt you, but if (in case) you did so, you shall certainly be one of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers). " (Younis:106)”

Quran states:
Your helper(wali) can be only Allah; and His messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poordue, and bow down (in prayer). (Quran 5:55)
Let us see what authentic hadiths say and what Sahaba [ra] did
Hadith says
A blind man came to the Prophet and said: "Invoke Allah for me that he help me." He replied: "If you wish I will delay this, and it would be better for you, and if you wish I will invoke Allah the Exalted (for you)."He said: "Then invoke him."
The Prophet said to him:] إِدهَّب فَتَوَدَّأ، وَسَلِّ رَك`َتَين ثُمَّ قُل
"Go and make an ablution, pray two rak`at, then say:
"O Allah, I am asking you (as'aluka) and turning to you (atawajjahu ilayka) with your Prophet Muhammad (بِنَبِيِّكَ مُهَمَّد), the Prophet of mercy; O Muhammad (ya Muhammad), I am turning with you to my Lord regarding my present need / I am asking my Lord with your intercession concerning the return of my sight(ِنِّ أَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ إلى رَبِّ فِ هَجَتِ هَدهِه
another version has: إِنِّ أَستَشفِ`ُ بِكَ `َلَ رَبِّ فِ رَدِّ بَسَرِ)
so that He will fulfill my need; O Allah, allow him to intercede (with you) for me (اللَهُمَّ شَفِّ`هُ فِيَّ)."

What Sahabas [ra] did
Quoted by Bukhari
Abu Nu’aym related to us who said that Sufyan related to us from Abu Ishaq from Abdar Rahman ibn Sa’d, who said:
Ibn Umar had numbness in his leg, whereupon a man said to him:
“Remember the most beloved of people to you”, so he said: “Ya Muhammad”
Imam al-Bukhari in Adab al-Mufrad (Hadith No. 964):
This hadith is discussed in Details here
Another hadith
A Sahabi (radhitallah anho) and 2nd Caliph Hadrat Umar (radhitallah anho) benefiting from intercession of Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم),
أخبرنا أبو نصر بن قتادة، وأبو بكر الفارسي قالا: حدثنا أبو عمر بن مطر، حدثنا إبراهيم بن علي الذهلي، حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، حدثنا أبو معاوية، عن الأعمش، عن أبي صالح، عن مالك قال: أصاب الناس قحط في زمن عمر بن الخطاب، فجاء رجل إلى قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم. فقال: يا رسول الله استسق الله لأمتك فإنهم قد هلكوا. فأتاه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في المنام فقال: إيت عمر، فأقرئه مني السلام، وأخبرهم أنه مسقون، وقل له عليك بالكيس الكيس. فأتى الرجل فأخبر عمر، فقال: يا رب ما آلوا إلا ما عجزت عنه.
During the reign of Hazrat Umar (رضى الله عنه) a draught badly threatened the ummah. A person went to Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)’s grave and sought for help Saying Ya Rasool Allah [O Prophet] . The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) came into his dream, gave him "basharat" (glad tiding) of rain, and also asked him to warn Hazrat Umar (رضى الله عنه) about the coming threats. Hazrat Umar (رضى الله عنه), when listened his dream wept and assured that he would remain careful as much as possible.

Then he said
Quote:
“13) Here he is saying that this life and the life after is from the generosity of the Prophet Muhammad (sallah allahu alieh wasalam). Therefore, this life and the hereafter belong to the Prophet Muhammad (sallah allahu alieh wasalam). Yet Allah attributes both this life and the life after to himQuran says But any of you that is devout in the service of Allah and His Messenger… (033:031)”

Hadrat ABu baker [ra] said
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle sat on the pulpit and said, "Allah has given one of His Slaves the choice of receiving the splendor and luxury of the worldly life whatever he likes or to accept the good (of the Hereafter) which is with Allah. So he has chosen that good which is with Allah." On that Abu Bakr wept and said, "Our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you."

Millions of Muslims past and present

Who all included it as required reading in the Islamic curriculum.
[Cf. al-Suyuti, Husn al-Muhadara (Cairo 1293 ed. 1:260) and al-Sakhawi, in A.J. Arberry, Sakhawiana: A Study Based on the Chester Beatty Ms. Arab. 773 (London: Emery Walker Ltd., 1951, p. 5-9).]
Refutation of Shirk in "His Knowledge Encompasses that of The Preserved Tablet and The Pen"
The verse in the Burda, which the Salafis accuse of being shirk, that states:
- “wa min `uloomika `ilma al-lawhi wa 'l-qalam”
It seems that according to many of the reliable commentaries that this means the Prophet (PBUH) had *all* the knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen.
Shaykh al Islam Ibn Hajar Haytami states:
“[…] And the sense in which knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen is part of some of his sciences, upon him blessings and peace, is that on the night of Isra', Allah Most High showed him everything that is in the Preserved Tablet and added to that other types of knowledge, such as the secrets which pertain to His Essence and Attributes, may He be exalted.” (al -Umdah fi Sharh al-Burda)
Similarly, Mulla `Ali Qari states in his commentary:
“[…] It was also said that Allah Most High showed him, upon him blessings and peace, what the Pen had written in the Preserved Tablet, which is the knowledge of the first and the last, and this is the preponderant explanation (wa-huwa al-az.har) […] the science of the Tablet and the Pen are only a few lines (sut.ur) among the lines of his knowledge and a mere river from the seas of his knowledge….” (al-Zubdah fi Sharh al-Burda)
Also, the great Shafi`i and Ash`ari Shaykh al Azhar, Imam Bajuri, said in his commentary:
“'Wa-min' (and from) in his saying 'wa-min `ulumika' is for tab`eed also [...] meaning the informations Allah Most High showed him, for He, Most High, showed him the sciences of the first and the last…” (Sharh al-Burda)
Shaykh Zadah said in his commentary:
“It may be that Allah Most High showed him, upon him blessings and peace, all that is in the Tablet, and increased him on top of that also, because the Tablet and the Pen are created, so what is in them has a limit, and it is possible for the limited to encompass the limited.” (Hashiyat al-Burdah)

SHAYKH WAHBA AL-ZUHAYLI’S
RESPONSE TO THE IGNORANT
RESPONSE TO THE IGNORANT
The poem states:
“[O most generous of creation,] who but you can I turn to When the Universal Cataclysm occurs?…”
Shaykh al-Zuhayli explains:
“The first line contains faith and affirmation of the Prophet’s intercession (pbuh). His intercession is two types: the greater intercession for all of the creation in being relieved of the terrors of the standing and going forward to their accounts and the second intercession for the disobedient among the Muslims.”
The poem states:
“From your largess flows the good of this world and its counterpart in the next, And from your knowledge is knowledge of the Tablet and the Pen…”
Shaykh al-Zuhayli explains:
“The second line does not imply independent creation and bringing into existence, rather, it means that that the bounty of the this world and the next is through faith in the message of the greatest Messenger (pbuh). As for what is meant by knowledge here, it refers to the knowledge that Allah taught him via revelation only, and not peering into the matters of the unseen that were not learned through the revelation.”
The poem states:
“By the pre-eminance of the one whose house is in the Pure Land, And whose name is an oath among the greatest of oaths”
Shaykh al-Zuhayli explains:
“The meaning of the third line is that Allah swore an oath by the Prophet when He said: “And by your life, they are blind in their drunkenness.”
After warning from this [incorrect] understanding, I warn from the confusion of the confused and taking advantage of the foolish ones who do not understand al-Busiri’s intent or that of others. We are the most keen of people in having sound doctrine; the ill understanding of the ignorant will not harm us the least.”

Discussing Wahhabi Objections to Qasida al-Burdah
-------------------------------
Debate between a Wahabi/salafi and Sunni... the sunni was given a week to find proofs from the qur'an and sunna for elevation of the status of the prophet (s), and the salafi was given a week to prove otherwise.
After a week, the sunni simply said "my proof of his error is that he spent a week lowering the status of the beloved - how can such a person love the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and spend time looking to lower his status"
----------------------------------
Sayyidi Abul Husain Hamdooni Shadhili writes in his Qasida Daaliyah that:
“The dear Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) is the essence of the universe and is the reason for all creation. Had he not have been, then nothing would have come into existence”.
Imam Sharaf ad-Din Abu Abdullah Muhammad Busiri writes in his Qasida Burda that:
“If it was not for Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) then the world would not exist”.
Imam Shaykh Ibrahim Baijuri writes in the commentary of Imam Busiri’s poem:
“If Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) had remained non-existent, then the universe would not have come to be. Allah said to Adam: If Muhammad had not existed, I would not have created you. Adam is the father of all men and whatever is in the Earth has been created for man. So when Adam was created due to the existence of Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), then it is obvious that the whole world was created due to him. Hence, Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) is the cause and the reason for all existence.
‘Allama Khalid Azhari, commenting on the Burda, says:
“It is because of Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) that the world was bought from non-existence to existence”.
Imam Mulla Ali Qari writes:
“If it were not for the blessing and the generosity of Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), then the whole world would not have existed and apart from Allah, nothing would exist.
‘Allama Abul Ayash Abdul Ali Lakhnawi writes in his ‘Fawatih al-Rahmoot Sharh Musallam al-Thuboot’ that:
“If Rasoolallah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) were not in existence, then the blessings of Allah would not have blessed the creation”.
