O Allah, shower Your mercy upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your mercy upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam) and the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious.

The incident of Abu Imraan Waasity (Rahmatullahi Alaiahi) 

Abu Imraan Waasity (Rahmatullahi Alaiahi) narrates: “Once I was on a journey towards Madinah Tayyibah, when along the way I felt such extreme thirst that I feared for my life. Fearing that death was about to overtake me, I sat down under a thorn tree. Suddenly a rider appeared before me on a green horse, with green reins and a green saddle. In his hand was a green glass with a greenish drink. I drank three times from that glass and not a drop became less in it. He then asked me where I was going to. I replied that I was proceeding to Madinah Munawwarah to convey my salaam to Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and his two companions. He then replied: “When you have reached Madinah Munawwarah and you have greeted them, then convey my salaam as well to Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and his two companions. Tell them that Ridwaan has conveyed his salaams. (Ridwaan is the angel who is the gatekeeper of Paradise) (Fazaail Madinah)
