👈 Hazrat Safinah's Guide Became a Lion __!!

☜ Hazrat Muhammad bin Munkadir narrates that once Hazrat Safinah lost his way from the army in the Roman territory, or was captured by the enemy. Then he escaped from the enemy's custody and started searching for his army. Meanwhile, he encountered a dangerous lion. Seeing it, he did not panic even a bit, but addressed it by its kunyah (honorific byname) and said: "O Abu al-Harith! I am the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and I have lost my way." Upon hearing this, the lion came and stood by his side, wagging its tail (which is a sign of an animal becoming submissive and obedient). Then, if the sound of any fearsome beast came from any direction, the lion would rush towards that sound to ward it off and then come back. In this manner, that lion kept walking side by side with Hazrat Safinah (like a protective guide), until Hazrat Safinah reached his army and the lion went back.

☜ A Fish Gave a Pearl by the Supplication of Hazrat Dhul-Nun al-Misri

☜ Hazrat Dhul-Nun al-Misri, who was among the high-ranking saints of Allah, was once traveling on a boat for the pilgrimage of Hajj, in which all kinds of people—rich and poor, traders and merchants—were aboard. Coincidentally, a merchant lost a valuable pearl. He started searching everyone on the boat. A person was on board the boat in a ragged and poor condition, and suspicion fell upon him. Seeing this, the dervish in a worn-out state began weeping and crying out in the court of the Almighty: "O Lord of Honor! Honor and disgrace are in Your hands."

☜ Consequently, his prayer was accepted and suddenly thousands of fish came swimming to the surface of the water, each carrying a priceless pearl in its mouth. This dervish took one pearl from among them, gave it to the merchant, and without any fear or danger, stepped off the boat into the water at that very moment. From that time on, his name became famous as "Dhul-Nun" (The One of the Fish).
