Hazrat
Ma'ruf al-Karkhi (ra) in Baghdad:
Hasan al-Basri (Arabic:···
······) (Abu Sa'id
al-Hasan ibn Abi-l-Hasan Yasar al-Basri), (642 - 728 or
737), was a well-known Arab theologian and scholar of Islam
who was born at Medina.
Life
& Works
His
father was a freedman of Zayd ibn Thabit, one of the Ansar
(Helpers of the Prophet), his mother a client of Umm Salama,
a wife of the Prophet Muhammad (d.632). Tradition says that
Umm Salama often nursed Hasan in his infancy. He was thus
one of the Tabi'een (i.e. of the generation that succeeded
the Sahabah). He became a teacher of Basra (Iraq) and founded
a madrasa (school) there. Among his many pupils were Amr
Ibn Ubayd (d.761) and Wasil ibn Ata (d.749), the founder
of the Mu'tazilites.
He
himself was a great supporter of orthodoxy and the most
important representative of asceticism in the time of its
first development. According to him, fear is the basis of
morality, and sadness the characteristic of his religion.
Life is only a pilgrimage, and comfort must be denied to
subdue the passions. Al-Basri is also held in high regard
by the Sufis, for his asceticism and subtle directions relating
to the science of practical religion (ilm-i mu'amalat).[1]
Many
writers testify to the purity of his life and to his excelling
in the virtues of Muhammad's own companions. He was "as
if he were in the other world." In politics, too, he
adhered to the earliest principles of Islam, being strictly
opposed to the inherited caliphate of the Umayyads (r.661-750)
and a believer in the election of the caliph. However, despite
his critical position concerning the Umayyads, he did not
approve of rebellion against tyrannical rule. His sermons
contain some of the earliest and best examples of Arabic
linguistic prose style.
He was married to a woman of Ahl al-Kitab

family. She was the fourth daughter of his family and therefore

kidnapped and sold as slave. However when she grew up, her
master discovered her piousness and freed her out of his
fear for God.

Sultanul
Arifeen Hazrath Syedna Ahmed Kabir Rifayee Razi Allahu Taala
Anhu
His full name was Abdul Abbas Mohiuddin Syed Ahmed Kabir
Rifayee (Razi Allahu Taala anhu). One of his forefather's
name was 'Rifaah' and so he became very popular with the
name of Rifayee. Having born as 15th descendant of Hazrath
Syedna Imam Hussain Razi Allahu Taala anhu, he was called
'Hussaini'. He belonged to the 'Shaafayee' Maslak. Even
before his birth itself Huzur Akram Sallallahu Alaih Wasallam
prophesied about him to his maternal uncle Hazrath Baz'as'hab
Mansoor Bataahi (R.A.). He asked him to name the boy Ahmed.
He said that he would be the leader of saints (Auliya Allah)
and advised him to send the boy to Shaik Ali Qadiri Wasthi
(R.A.) for education and training.
Hazrath
Ahmed Kabir Rifayee (R.A.) was born on 15th Rajab 512 Hijri
(1117 A.D.) (I.e. Thursday) at Hassan, a village in Iraq.
He learnt the Holy Qur'an by heart under the guidance of
Hazrath Shaik Adbus Samee Al Hasbuni (R.A.). Later he completed
his Islamic studies under the guidance of Hazrath Shaik
Ali Qadiri (R.A.).
He
was blessed with the knowledge of mystic powers by Hazrath
Shaik Baz'as'hab Bathaai. It is learnt that even in his
childhood he never took milk during the days of Ramzan.
He strictly followed Qur'an. So, he became popular as an
Islamic scholar and man of high morals quite early in life.
Once
his uncle asked him to fetch some leaves. He went for them
but returned with empty hands. He said to his uncle, "I
found the leaves immersed themselves in invocation (Zikr)
of Allah Taala, hence I did not separate them from the tree.
In
555 Hijri (1159 A.D.), he went on a pilgrimage to Hajj and
visited Madina shareef for paying his obeisance (homage)
to his great grand father. He went near the Rauza-e-Aqdas
(Holy shrine) of Hazrath Mohammad Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam
and paid salam "Assalam alaikum ya Jaddi" (my
great grand father). In reply he heard from the Holy shrine
"Waalaikum assalam ya waldi" (my son). All the
people who were present there also heard the holy words.
He further said " I always sent my soul on my behalf
to kiss the Holy Land of Madina shareef, as I live away
from you. Now I have come in person to kiss you. Kindly
stretch your hands so that I can kiss them and get your
merciful blessings". Then the holy hand of Hazrath
Mohammad (S.A.W.) stretched forward out of the holy grave.
He kissed the holy hand with great devotion and reverence.
Nearly 90 thousand devotees witnessed the incident. There
were Hazrath Shaik Abdul Qadir al Jeelani (R.T.A.), Hazrath
Shaik Hayath (R.T.A.) and Hazrath Shaik Aadi Ashami (R.J.A.)
among them.
Hazrath
Syed Ahmed Kabir Rifayee (R.A.) showed a number of miracles.
He used to bring a dead body to life by the grace of Allah.
He believes that the miracles of saints (Auliya Allah) are
the miracle of the Prophet (S.A.W.).
Now
some disciples of Rifayee order (tariqa) still perform some
miracles. They pierce knives and long needless into their
bodies by invoking the holy name of syed Ahmed Kabir Rifayee.
They do not feel any pain or damage. This is nothing but
Rifayee Zarbath.
