[Pickthal 47:19] .
[Pickthal 47:19] ..So know (O Muhammad) that there is no Allah save Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy sin and for believing men and believing women. [Pickthal 60:12] then accept their allegiance and ask Allah to forgive them. [Pickthal 63:5-6] And when it is said unto them: Come! The messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you! They [the hypocrites] avert their faces and thou seest them turning away, disdainful.
Whether thou ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them is all one for them; Allah will not forgive them. Hundreds of Ahadith Show that Sahaba asked Allah through Wasilah of Rasool Allah (saww) Let me quote some of the Ahadith from our previous Chapter 3. Sahih Muslim, 1st Chapter of book of Clothing: Abd Allah, the freed slave of Asma' the daughter of Abu Bakr, the maternal uncle of the son of Ata', said: .
She (Asma bint Abu Bakr) said: "Here is the cloak (jubba) of Allah's Messenger," and she brought out to me that cloak made of Persian cloth with a hem of (silk) brocade, and its sleeves bordered with (silk) brocade, and said: "This was Allah's Messenger's cloak with A'isha until she died, then I got possession of it.
The Apostle of Allah used to wear it, and we washed it for the sick so that they could seek cure thereby." Allah is indeed closer to us than our jugular vein, but why then these 2 ladies sought health from Juba of Rasool Allah (saww), instead of asking Allah Directly? Did these 2 ladies thought that Allah is (Naudobillah) deaf that He could not hear their prayers Directly? Need we to comment any more? Here one more Hadith from Umm-ul-Momineen Umm Salama.
Bukhari narrates in his Sahih in the Book of Clothing, under the chapter entitled "What is mentioned about gray hair: Uthman bin Abd Allah ibn Mawhab said, "My people sent me with a bowl of water to Umm Salama." Isra'il approximated three fingers indicating the small size of the container in which there was some hair of the Prophet.
Uthman added, "If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Umm Salama (and she would dip the Prophet's hair into it and it would be drunk). I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet) and saw a few reddish hairs in it." Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 784. No comments from our side anymore.
Please see all the Ahadith in our previous chapter, which show that Sahaba Karam asked Allah (swt) through the Wasila of Rasool Allah (saww).
