Answers to his Prayers
(Mu’jizaat al-Mustafa by Khayr ad-Deen Waa'ili, Pp. 61).
"I used to call my mother to Islam when she was a mushrikah. I called her one day, and she said something about the Messenger of Allah that I did not like to hear. I came to the Messenger of Allah weeping.
I said,
'O' Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah.'
He said,
'O' Allah, guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah.'
I went out, feeling optimistic because of the prayer of the Prophet . When I reached my house, I found the door closed.
I heard my mother's footsteps and she said,
'Stay where you are!'
Then I heard the sound of water. She washed herself then got dressed and put on her khimaar (head covering).
She then opened the door and said,
'O' Abu Hurayrah, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.'
I went back to the Messenger of Allah, weeping with joy. He praised Allah and uttered very good words."
