Ask The Imam Question and Answer

453 Someone had told me that Hazret Pir Nasirudeen Nasir’s grandad I think it was Pir Mehr Ali Shah (R.A), that along time ago they had gone to a house and then some people didn’t believe in Pir Saab and asked them to read Janaza of their son who they said was dead but he really was't.

Pir Saab before reading the janaza asked permission from the household to proceed. They asked them 3 times, are you sure you want me to read the Janaza and they replied yes all 3 times. and when they read the Janaza the mother jumped up and said "hahahaha" he’s not dead and she tried waking him up but he didn’t get up.

The mother then started crying and asked Pir Mehr Ali Shah (R.A) to bring him back to life and Pir Mehr Ali Shah (R.A) said " you made a fool of me so on judgment day everybody will rise but this child will not. Is the above event true or false?
On Tuesday the 3rd of April 07, Hazrat Pir Syed Naseerudin Naseer Golrawi Damat Barkatuhum Aliya came to Sheffield and the above question was put to them.

Pir Sahib explained that the real event took place in Kaler Syedaan near the current Golra shareef. The incident is of Hazrat Pir Syed Ajji Sahib (R.A) the Father of Hazrat Pir Syed Mehr Ali Shah (R.A).

The real incident is as follows; the inhabitant of the area did not believe in the Karamaat (strengths) of pious people of Allah Azawajal (Auliya e Kiraam) and hence wanted to make a joke of Syed Ajji (R.A), they asked a person to lay down and pretend that he is dead, and agreed that they will ask Pir Syed Ajji (R.A) to read his funeral prayer (Namaz e Janaza).

Once Pir sahib starts the prayer someone will make a sound and the person pretending to be dead will get up and they will expose Pir Sahib and make a joke. Pir Syed Ajji (R.A) Sahib passed by, as per plan the people surrounded him and asked him to do the prayer of their dead.

He (R.A) arrived and asked the Wali (guardian - mother) permission to read Janaza three times finally looking to the sky. The prayer started and as per plan someone made a sound so the person pretending to be dead to get up but he did not; the prayer finished, a noise erupted and all women started to cry.

People gathered before Pir Sahib and said this person was not dead he was pretending just to test you, Pir Sahib said make dua that on day of resurrection when everyone else will be getting up that he gets up even then (the person never got up).
