By: Shaykh Mohammed Aslam
Shaykh Muhammad al-Habib would stay awake throughout the entire night and repeat the name of Allah over 20,000 in the dark. He did this even when he reached over the age of 90. One night, a thief entered the house and went into his room. The thief opened a cabinet and began to search it for wealth or jeweler – not realizing that the Shaykh was in the room.
The Shaykh softly called out to him and told him to take whatever he needed and wanted but simply requested him to leave his books. The Shaykh then called his wife and she brought in tea and they kindly gave it to the thief.
The Shaykh then made the man feel welcome, told him not to worry, reminded him he could take whatever he wanted if needed, spoke to him about Allah, informed him the doors of tawba were open for all people, and let him know that the Merciful forgives all people.
Then food was prepared for the thief and he ate comfortably. Overcome by the unbelievable kindness of the Shaykh, he suddenly broke down into tears, repented and changed his life.
These are the Friends of Allah and the inheritors of the Messenger ﷺ. May Allah allow us to follow their footsteps and imitate their ways.
