Some karaamaat of the awliyaa'
Ibn Taymiyah mentioned a number of these karaamaat apart from those which we have mentioned above. We will quote some examples here:
(Majmoo ` al-Fataawa Shaykh al-Islam, 11/276-281).
When Khubayb ibn 'Adiy was a prisoner at the hands of the mushrikeen (polytheists) in Makkah, Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala), provided grapes for him to eat, when there were no grapes in Makkah.
When Umm Ayman set out to migrate to Madeenah (hijrah), she had no food or water with her. She almost died of thirst. When the time for breaking the fast came, as she was fasting, she heard a sound above her head and looked up. There she saw a bucket suspended in the air. She drank from it until her thirst was quenched, and she never felt thirsty again in her life.
Whenever Al-Baraa' ibn `Aazib swore an oath beseeching Allah to do something, Allah would fulfil his oath. When the fighting became intense for the Muslims in jihad, they would say,
"O' Baraa', swear an oath beseeching your Lord."
He would say,
"O' Lord, I urge You, let us defeat them."
Then the enemy would be defeated. On the day of Al-Qaadisiyyah, he said,
"I beseech you, O' Lord, to grant us victory over them and let me be the first martyr."
They defeated them, and Al-Baraa' was killed as a martyr.
Khaalid ibn al-Waleed besieged some stronghold, and they said,
"We will not surrender until you drink poison."
He drank it, and it did not harm him.
When Az-Zubayrah was persecuted for her Islam for the sake of Allah, she refused to follow any religion but Islam. She lost her sight, and the mushrikeen said,
"Al-Laat and Al-Uzza have taken away her sight."
She said,
"No, by Allah,"
- then Allah restored her sight to her.
Al-Hasan al-Basri hid from Hajjaaj. The troops reached him six times and he prayed to Allah, and they did not see him. He prayed against one of the Khawaarij who would persecute him, and he fell dead. When Uways al-Qarni died, they found among his clothes shrouds which he did not have before, and they found a grave already dug for him, complete with lahd (niche), in a rock, where they buried him after shrouding him in those garments.
