Maulaana
Ashraf Ali Thanvi narrates from Maulvi Nidhaam ud-Deen Karaanwi, and he
narrates from Maulvi Abdullah Haraaqi that a very trustworthy person Walaaiti
said that: One of my Friends, who had given allegiance (Bayt) to Baqiyyat
us-Salaf Hujjat ul-Khalaf Qaduwwat us-Saalikeen Zubdat ul-Arifeen Shaikh ul-Kul
fil Kul Hadhrat Maulaana Haaji Imdaadullaah Saahib Chishti Saabri Thaanvi
al-Makki rahimahullah, went to Khana Ka’bah for Hajj. He departed on a ship
from Mumbai (India). The ship, on its way, got struck, and it was very close
that it would drown in the sea, or it might demolish into pieces with another
strike. When he saw that there is no other way except dying, he thought of his
Peer and said what else would be the best time of Imdaad than this. Allaah
Ta’aala is the absolute Hearer and Observer of all things. Immediately, their
Ship got out of the water and all the people were saved.
This incidence
occurred here and on the other day “the Patron of the mankind” [Imdaadullaah]
told his servant to massage his back as it hurts very terribly. As the servant
lifted his shirt while massaging, he saw that his back is awfully wounded and
the skin is peeled away from most of the places.
“Hadhrat what’s
the matter, why is your back wounded?” asked the servant. “Nothing”, replied
Peer Sahab [Imdaadullah]. He asked again, but he remained silent. “Hadhrat, I
think your skin got abraded from somewhere, whereas you did not even go
anywhere”, asked the servant again for the third time. Hadhrat replies: “A ship
was about to drown, in which one of your Brothers in Deen and Silsilah was also
present; his cry for help made me upset, so I lifted the ship while giving it
the support of my back, I went ahead [with the ship] and the people were saved,
this is how my back might have been wounded and this is why I feel pain, but do
not mention this to anyone.”
[Karamaat-e-Imdaadiyaah
Pg 36]
I am sure titanic regrets not having a silsilah on board
