Story of Lakarhara and Ni’yaz of Hazrath Ali (a.s)

BISMI ALLAH HIR RAHMA NIR RAHEEM

This event is of an Arab wood-cutter who lived a very simple life with his family in a hut. Daily he used to go to the forest with an axe, which was very far off from his place. He used to cut wood and sell in the bazaar and with the small earning he used to feed his family.

Once he could not cut wood sufficiently in time because of his blunt edged axe. Finally when he did cut the required quantity, it was late. He was very much perplexed for he knew that by the time he reaches the market, no one would be there to buy the wood. And if the wood was not sold, he would have no money to feed the family.

He could think no way in feeding the hungry children for the next 24 hours. While he was pondering over the mater he heard trotting of a horse on which a masked rider was approaching towards him. After the salutations the rider enquired of the wood cutter as to what he was doing there since it was getting dark to which the wood-cutter explained the situation.

On hearing the wood-cutter misery, the masked rider gave him five coins and instructed him to buy there with Sugar, Grapes, Flower–petals and Agarbatti for the Fatheha of Hazrath Ali (a.s). He assured that Inshallah on his executing the instructions, he would be relieved of the misery and afflictions.

No sooner the wood-cutter accepted the coins, the masked rider vanished mysteriously and the wood-cutter was further astonished that instead of being him in the forest, he was at home with his family. He could not believe what has happened but when he opened his palm he found five coins. He mentioned the whole incident to his wife and then went out to buy necessary things for the Fatheha. The couple then with all sincerity offered Fatheha of Hazrath Ali (a.s). The wood cutter then left to Bazaar. He could witness the benefits derived on offering Fateha because he received a little more than the usual for the wood.

Next day he left for the wood little early. He came across a dry tree which he selected for cutting. He was in high spirits that day. He was confident that Ali would henceforth help him and Allah shall remove from him his poverty and misery. So he picked up the axe and taking the name of Ali he used his all strength and stuck the tree. On a second strike the tree fell off on the ground. By the Grace of Allah, he happened to see a treasure-trove at the bottom of the tree. With a great hesitancy, he picked up just two silver coins and the rest he buried at the same spot. He left for the Bazaar without the wood and brought provisions for the house and returned home to narrate the whole incident to his wife. Both of them decided that due to favours of Allah, it would be more befitting that hence forth they should remain more busy in remembrance of Allah and Fateha Ceremony should be carried out regularly. Thereafter, the couple devoted much more time in prayers. They also decided to move from the village to the forest. In the forest they built small houses for poor families as-well-as for themselves. They also made arrangement for a “Sabeel” and rest house for the travelers and passers by.

One occasion, The King with his army was in that part of jungle for hunting. Finding some hutments in the forest he sent aides to bring water for him. The attendants came to the hut and found a beautiful Sabeel with cold neat water within a beautiful garden. The wood cutter provided them with drinking cup and a leather bottle for water. On their return to the King with water they related to him what they had seen. They said that there was a resting place there with gardens and even a small Mosque. After quenching thirst, the king enquired as to where they found the beautiful drinking cup from? Then he ordered that the wood cutter be presented before him. The men informed the King that the wood-cutter was performing prayers and that it was getting quite late and the man could be presented later before the King at the Palace. So they all returned back to the Kingdom.

On reaching the Palace, the King narrated to the Queen the Jungle hutments. On hearing the episode, the queen desired to interview the couple to question them certain things. The next day the family of the wood cutter was presented before the king. The family was given state-guest status as was requested to stay in the Kingdom for few days.

During the stay in the palace, once the wood-cutter’s wife was with the queen. The queen before going into Hammam, requested the wood-cutters wife to keep a watch over her precious necklace. No sooner the queen entered the Hammam, the necklace on the dressing table disappeared before the eyes of the wood-cutters wife. When the queen returned after the bath, not finding the necklace enquired of her, who explained as to how the necklace has disappeared before her eyes mysteriously. The queen informed the king, who on suspicion imprisoned the family for stealing the necklace.

Thus the wood-cutter’s family was in prison for quite some time. During the prison term, the wood-cutter had a vision of a masked man enquiring of him whether he was regularly remembering Allah and performing Fateha of Hazrath Ali (a.s). The wood-cutter replied that they had forgotten about it. He reminded them unless they do so; he would remain afflicted with the miseries. The wood-cutter said that he did not have any money on him. The masked man said that there was some money underneath, the pillow; he found two coins lying there. He saw a women passing by, whom he called and requested to bring him a few things for the Fatheha, but she refused saying that she was busy with her son’s wedding arrangements. After some time an old woman passed by, whom he pleaded. Although she was on her way to call Hakim for his son who was sick she agreed to fetch the things for the Fatheha. After some time she returned she returned and she also listen the prayers for Hazrath Ali (a.s). After which she left with a portion of Fateha sweets and some water. When she reached home she was surprised that her son had survived where as the other woman who had refused to fetch Fatheha sweets, was in distress.

In a separate incident, the queen was sitting at the dressing table and suddenly she found the necklace appearing on the dressing table mysteriously. For a moment she could not believe her eyes but when she touched and saw, she remembered that the wood-cutter wife must have spoken truth about the disappearance of the necklace in the same manner. She reported the matter to the king, who immediately had the couple before them and asked them to forgive him. They explained to him that it was because they had forgotten to remember Allah regularly and to perform Fatheha for the Swab of Hazrath Ali (a.s) that they were engulfed with the misery. On hearing this king also vowed that he shall also regularly remember Allah and perform Fatheha on Thursday Nights for Hazrath Ali (a.s)

AYAT AL KURSI

اللّهُ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاء وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ {255}

[Yusufali 2:255] Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).

لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىَ لاَ انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَاللّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ {256}

[Yusufali 2:256] Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

اللّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّوُرِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ أُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ {257}

[Yusufali 2:257] Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).

لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ (6}
