This book “The adventures of Hazrat Tamim Ansari R.A.”

Urdu edition which was published by Mohammed Habeeb Ullah
in Madras city. And this is a new book and which is published
by me in the year 2023 Urdu’ book’s translation into the
English/Hindi languages. Please note it is a biography book
about the holy companion of the holy last prophet of Allah.
This is a small book in which the biographies of holy saint is
added and in this book there are some great achievements of this
great holy saint of Chennai region, which is not yet known to
the general, persons and other persons are published in a very
interesting style so for this reason the readers will find great
interest and attention in this matter.
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts
reading this book’s first chapter and will not stop its reading till
they will reach its last chapter as in this book some interesting
events and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of
holy saint are added and this holy saint was passed away from
the world many centuries years ago.
Even though this is small book but due to its importance it is
so great due to coverage of many interesting events and positive
information in it so it is like an ocean of knowledge and
information of the holy saint and who was passed away from
the world upon doing his great endeavours and many hard tasks
for the preaching and propagation work of Islam in the foreign
lands so this book is small, one but it will present the ocean
of knowledge and information for the guidance of people
towards the right path of Islam. This book is edited and
formatted as per the great book ‘Muslim saints and Mystics‘
(Tadhkirtal al-Awliya by Farid al din Attar) which is very
famous in the Western world among the English knowing
 7

persons. So for this reason there will be some small differences

in it while comparing with the Urdu books and its literature.
The aim of this book is to present in the Western world where
there is great search and demand of the books of Sufism and
biographies of holy saints who lived and spent their entire lives
for the preaching and propagation of Islamic religion in all
corners of the world as per tradition and practice of Allah’s last
prophet.
To write about these great saint of the Chennai region is not
only it is difficult and but it is very hard task as he was not only
great pious personalities of his time in Chennai region but he
was also a great companion of the last prophet of Allah in the
Chennai area and due to presence of his personality after his
death and due to presence of his dead body and which was a
major cause for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
Chennai region many centuries ago, so in brief he was a great
Muslim saints in the region and who did many great endeavours
for the preaching and propagation of Islam in South India and
around it and there was no such personality during their time.

Name
His name is Tamim Ansari and his father’s name is Ahmed
Ansari and his mother’s name is Rabia and in this magazine
have mentioned many of his details of millions of characters
and conducts as well as his endeavours and miracles are
available in it. He was a famous companion of the last prophet
of Allah. He was a resident of Madina city in the country of the
Saudi Arabia.
The reporters of right sayings and informers of the
newspaper of the truth have been informed in this matter that
once Hazrat Umar bin Qattab was sitting in the grand of the
mosque of the prophet in Madina after the morning prayer of
Fajr along with his friends and companions and suddenly at that
time one woman in veil was arriving there and she was asked
about the Hazrat Umar bin Qattab and the people have pointed
towards him. That woman told him that “Oh the ruler of the
Muslims my husband is absconding since three and a half years
and his where about are not known and till now it is not known
the news about his life and death. So I am facing great problems
to bring up the children in this matter, so I request you to kindly
allow me to re-marry with some other person.” The caliph of
the last prophet, Allah has asked her “Who was his husband ?,
and how he was vanished away from Madina.?” That woman
told that “My husband’s name is Tamin Ansari and he was
vanished away from the house since three and half years
suddenly and she has been searching him since for three and
half years and but still she could not able to get his news and
where about in this matter.” The caliph of the prophet told her
that, “ She has not given permission in this matter till the four
 11

years will not be over and during this period your husband may
come back or there will be any news on this matter from any
side.” The woman began crying and wept very much and she
has requested, “ Oh caliph of the Muslims how she will maintain
and bring up the children of Tamim Ansari and she is poor and
helpless and she did not have any Dirham with her so how she
will pass the period of the four years.?” The caliph of the
Muslims told her that, “ You do not worry for the expenses of
the bringing up of the children as she will be given money from
the Baital Mall (public treasury) as per the requirement in this
matter. So go and take care of the children and in reality Allah
will solve all problems of the men.” In short, that woman was
returned back to her home in happy condition and she has spent
a period of four years in waiting of the husband in her house.
After the end of the four years she goes to see the caliph of the
prophet again and she said “ Oh caliph of the Muslims now four
years have been completed and now give her permission to re-
marry and he told her that she should complete further more four
months and come back and see him. At last this period was also
have been ended and during this period also his husband ‘s
where about and news were not found by her. So she went into
the presence of the caliph of the Muslims and she said “Oh
caliph of the last prophet that now she could not have patience in
this matter. And at that time some persons were present there.
The caliph told in the loud voice “ Is anybody is there who can
marry this woman.?” So one person among them was standing
and he said he can marry with her woman. At that time the
caliph of the prophet married that woman with the man there.
Then that woman and husband along with children were began
living in the happy condition.
 12

One day that man was performing Asar evening prayer and at
that time there was loud and cry was begun in the house. He
completed his prayer and was asked her wife about this matter
that whether there is good news and with whom she is fighting
in the house and who was entered into the house. The woman
has told that see there is standing one person in the naked
condition there and the young man stood and went near the
naked person and was asked him in the angry condition who are
you?, and why did he enter into his house without any
permission.? It seems that your ill luck has brought you here.?
So you should leave my house urgently otherwise there will be
bad consequences in this matter. Upon hearing this that naked
person entangle with the young man and fighting was started in
between both of them there in the house. The pious woman was
began loud and crying and she said “ Oh neighbors come on
soon someone is killing my husband. It may be the same Devil
who was taken away my first husband. Now he came there gain,
and while becoming the enemy of my second husband.”
The`neighbouring persons upon hearing loud and cry and they
run towards their house and entered into the house and with
much difficulty and problem they have separated fighting of the
two persons in the house. The neighboring persons was taken
away Tamim Ansari and have asked him to tell truly who are
you.? And which place he belongs.? And what is your name.?,.
And that naked person told them that “ He is Tamim Ansari and
he is the husband of this woman and all children are belong to
him. He was involved in many problems and due to the grace
and help of Allah, he was able come back again to
Madina.”Due to this problem long time was passed away and
night was started so the neighbours have advised both of them
to live in patience during the night and in the morning they
 13

should appear in the presence of the caliph of Muslims Hazrat

Umar Bin Qattab to represent their case for the settlement there
and tell him their whole story and get his kind order on this
matter and act upon it. In short the whole night was passed in the
fighting also with each other and for this reason nobody could
not sleep in this house for this problem.
In the morning all of them went into the kind presence of
Hazrat Umar bin Qattab in the grand mosque of the prophet in
Madina and have been telling him their stories there. Then
Hazrat Umar bin Qattab have asked that naked person “What is
your name and the place of his residence.?” That person told
him that “His name is Tamim Ansari and he is a resident of
Madina city. Whether you are forgetting your friend and this
woman is my wife and all these children belong to him and he is
their father.” The woman told Umar bin Qattab that “This man
is a lair and where is the man and where is the devil.
 14

Shrine of Hazrat Tamim Ansari R.A.

So why she belongs to his wife. And how he will be her

husband for this reason. During the whole night he has annoyed
us and caused problem to all persons in our street. He is
becoming an enemy of my husband and want to kill him on this
matter.” That naked person told him, “ Oh, ruler of the Muslims
what happened to you that you are not recognizing him and he is
not hearing his story on this matter and you are hearing the talk
of the woman.” Then the ruler of the Muslim told him “What
`you are saying and I know very well and I am looking towards
him. Tamim Ansari in fact was his companion and his image is
there in my mind, but no sign of him is not found in you so
without investigation then how he can take any decision on this
matter. So prove your identity and submit any witnesses.” Upon
hearing this the naked person told that “His witness is Hazrat
Ali bin Ali Bin Taleb and he will recognize him surely. The
biggest reason of recognizing on this matter is that the prophet
of Allah was telling about my condition.You take me to him and
he will recognize me. Hazrat Umar stood immediately and along
with all other persons he was reaching in the presence of Hazrat
Ali bin Ali Taleb and he said Assalam Alaikum Ali and Hazrat
Ali replied his Salam and Hazrat Ali told him “Whether there
is everything good and why you have reached to see him in the
early morning with so many persons there.” Hazrat Umar bin
Qattab told him “He was brought into your presence this strange
creature.”Hazrat Ali upon looking the strange creature told him
“Are you not Tamim Ansari ?”, and that person told him “Yes, I
am Tamim Ansari your old friend. He was in his presence after a
period of seven and a half years. He was in the prison of the
Devil so for this reason he was upset and worried for his life.
 15

And for this reason he was reached to this condition and his
condition was changed so nobody is not recognizing me and
even nobody did not believe that I am a human being.” Hazrat
Ali told all of their friends to sit down and from him to hear his
story. This man came back here after seeing many strange things
as well great wonders of the world. It is happening that one day
prophet of Allah told that after me there will be rise many
strange things in the world. Among them there will be one story
of Tamim Ansari. Upon saying this Hazrat Ali bin Taleb asked
Tamim Ansari dear friend tell your story and what did happen
to you?, and what you seen the great wonders?, and which
places you have visited in your journey?.” He told “Oh, ruler of
the Muslims what I have seen the things in the wake up
condition which were not seen such things by any person in the
dream.” Hazrat Ali told him “To tell the whole story.” He began
his story as follows.’

“That one day I have done intercourse with my wife and after
its completion and I asked with my wife to bring soon water so
that he will have bathing as the prophet of Allah has said that
one who have done intercourse then he should have bathed soon
and become clean as this is a time of overwhelming of the
Satan. Usually an un-bathed person in this matter will involve
intricacy and problem and for this reason he will face difficulty
in this respect. My wife for the sake of the joke told at that time
“Oh Devil takes him away from there ” and upon saying this she
went to bring water. He was sleeping in the upper storey and
suddenly one Devil came there and took me towards the sky
and I have reached at the highest level and from where the earth
seen like a clod. Due to divine power of Allah one piece of the
cloud was touched with the neck of the Devil and due to this
 16

reason there was pressing on the neck of the Devil and for this
matter Devil began getting down while closing his eyes and he
was dipped in the big sea and at that time my condition was
such that due to fear I was stopped taking breath and I was
becoming helpless there and there was no hope for me that I will
be free from the claw of the Devil. He began taking me some
time in the light and sometime in the darkness and suddenly the
Devil freed me from his hold so I was becoming
unconsciousness and falling down to the earth. When I was
came back in consciouness and opened my eyes and I was
found myslef in the huge garden where there were many
thousand trees of fruits were there and there were available
water springs everywhere and there was a cold breeze was
moving in the garden and there was mild fragrance was found
every where and due to this reason there came life again in my
dead body and it was like that there was no more tiredness in me
and there was happiness and joy in my heart and there was
created light in my eyes and due to such reasons heavenly
atmosphere was found there. So I stood immediately and watch
here and there and but could not find anybody there. I have
desired which ever fruit and plucked and eaten there and in such
condition I went towards one side. At one place I was looking
suddenly at one creature and which did not belong to human
beings. Then I was able to know that these creatures belong to
Devils and surely they will kill me there. Then I told “ Oh Allah
you have now given safety from one cruel Devil and after that
other problem from another creature came there. So give me
salvation from this creature also. Due to fear of the Devils I was
hiding in the clump of the trees and was there for a period of two
days. Even though there was no trouble from them for me, but I
was shivering due to their fear and problems. On the third day
 17

two persons came there and said Salam to me and asked me

“Who are you?, and how you have reached there.?”. I have
replied them that “He is a human being and I do not know
which is this place.? And the black Devil brought him there.”
They told me that “They are in the fifth region of the world and
it is the countries of the devils.” They told me that “My house is
5,000 miles away from there.” Oh the rulers of the Muslims
when I heard this then there was the condition of the
unconsciousness which prevailed upon him. I think that if I will
be going out of this country and then my age will be very short
for this reason so I could not able to return back to my house in
Madina. There was no more hope with me to reach back into my
house in my country. When I became conscious then I was
going back in my previous place and sat there. In one night It
happens such that I was heard many kinds of the sounds in my
ears and there was very much loud and cry. Due to fear I was
climbing on a tree and after some time I was seen from there
that many horse riders while holding naked swords in their
hands were coming there and it was an army of the fairies.
When they reached there they attacked on the Devils in the night
upon them. The Devils also prepared for the counter attack with
holding the weapons in their hands and get ready for the fight
with the army of the fairies and battle was started there. Oh,
ruler of the Muslims there was severe fighting was among them,
which I was not seen before by my eyes. At last Muslim fairies
were able to successfully in the fight and infidel Devils were
killed. When the successful army was passed from me and there
I was seen that one fairy was riding on the horse and emerald
and rubies were fixed there in the saddles.In the bridle of the
horses there was fixed rubies and jewelries. The fairy who was
the rider of the horse was just like flying in the air. Suddenly
 18

the queen, fairy was looking at me and sopped her horse and she
asked me, “I believe that you a human being and who have
brought you there.” I stood immediately from the ground and
kissed the foot the Queen fairy on the horse. I have explained
her all details of events to her and began weeping there and told
her that since long period of time he has been away from his
household and do not have any power to reach back into my
house in my city. The queen fairy became very kind to me and
told me that I should not be sad in this matter and she was
instructed one fairy to arrange one horse for my riding. When
there was arrangement of the horse, then I was along with them
in the third region of the world, where there a residence of the
queen fairy was there. The throne of the queen fairy was shining
with the jewels of the rubies, emerald and rubies of Yemen and
she was sitting on the throne and large army was standing
before her while folding their hands. Due to the kindness and
favour the queen fairy was calling me there and she asked me to
sit on the royal throne.She asked my name and I told her my
name Tamim Ansair and she was asked about my country. I told
her that I belong to Madina, the city the prophet Mohammed
(peace be upon him). When she heard all details, then, she
becomes very happy and she asked me “Whether he had seen
the last prophet of Allah.?” I told her that “He was in the service
of the felicity of the last prophet for a long period of time.”
Upon hearing this she said “ Oh Allah, there is thousand thanks
to You that these eyes have seen pure prettiness of the prophet
and You have given her a chance to see such eyes. Upon saying
this she kissed my eyes and she has asked whether the last
prophet still living there in Madina city.?” I told her the prophet
left Madina city to meet his great friend in another world. Upon
hearing this queen fairy was sad in this matter and she was
 19

began weeping in loud voices for this reason, and along with her
all courtiers were also began weeping in the louder voices. After
sometime queen fairy told me, “Oh Tamim Ansari for me, you
are like my adopted son.I have seven sons with me and they are
unaware of the holy book of Allah. I have the desire with me
that you for the sake of god and for sake of mediation of the last
prophet of Allah teach my children the holy Quran and I will
fulfil your desire as per your fate in this matter and there will be
no excuse in this matter.” So I told her that “I have accepted her
offer.” So she was given orders to bring one horse and asked me
to ride on it and she was asked two fairies to accompany with
me and to take me to the residence of the children of the queen
fairy and he will be there along with them and teach my children
holy book of Quran there. And see that there will be no
complaint for his hospitality and try to please him and after
one week she will come there and visit my children and if there
will be some difficulty caused to him then I will give severe
punishment to both of you. “Oh the ruler of the Muslims the
speed of the horse is very fast so it is very hard and difficult to
describe its speed in this matter. Due to such speed and flight I
was becoming unconscious so I could not know where I was
going. At one place they get me down and then I opened my
eyes and I was gaining my consciousness there and I have
noticed that it was time of later afternoon Asar prayer so I have
done ablution and prayed there.At that time the children and
relatives of the queen fairy came to see me and they have paid
very much respect and honour for me and they presented many
kinds of valuable gifts to me. The children of the queen fairy
asked me “When did you depart from the place of our
mother.?” I told them that “ I left that place after praying Fajr
prayer and reached here at the time of Asar prayer.” They asked
 20

me “Do you know how much distance you have covered during
this journey.” I told him them that “I think that I have covered
more than 40 or 50 Farsang (one Farsang = one league=3 miles).
All of them laughed for this and they said “Dear sir, you have
covered journey of the one region of the earth and as per human
speed standard it is a journey of 1000 years. There are four
such regions are there upon this region in which human being
used to reside in the those regions.” So hearing all these details I
was surprised in this matter, there was so much strange thinking
came into my mind. With patience, I have started teaching of the
Quran to children of the queen fairy. After one week queen fairy
came there and she has called me in her palace and paid very
attention and favour for me and she has asked about the teaching
details of the Quran to her children there. I have informed her
about the details of the teaching of the holy Quran during this
period to the children of the queen fairy.In this way she used to
come there and check the teaching of the Quran on the children.
One day when the teaching of the Quran of the boys was over
and queen fairy was coming there and on that night I have seen a
dream and for this reason I was very upset and worried and due
to dream I began weeping there. Suddenly my weeping voice
reached to the palace of the queen fairy and at that time she has
called her caretakers and heralds and asked them to check
“Why, the man who belong to human beings is weeping and so
check on this matter why he is weeping and find out reason in
this matter whether somebody was given him trouble to him so
he is weeping in this matter. So inquire all matter in this matter
and bring that man before me.” Upon inquiring all details from
me they have taken me towards the palace of the queen, fairy,
they have informed the queen fairy that “Nobody among them
did not hurt him and given any trouble. The man is weeping by
 21

remembering his children and family members in his country.

Tonight he was seen in his dream his children and his
householders who were standing and visiting the mausoleum of
the holy last prophet of Allah in Madina city. Upon seeing them
the love of the father was increased and there was uncontrollable
an condition in this matter and he wants to embrace all of them,
but at that time his dream was over and he could not find them.
So for this reason due to the very much grief and sadness he
was begun weeping and crying in this matter.” Upon hearing
this queen fairy was become very kind to him and she told him
to inform her “What is his desire in this situation.” I told her that
“ I do not any desire and wish expect to see my children and my
family members in Madina city and also he wants to visit the
holy mausoleum of the prophet in Madina and so for this reason
he is eager in this matter.” As the queen fairy promised me to
send back to Madina city upon completion of the teaching of the
Holy Quran to her children. Now their Quran reading work was
already finished there. By chance my dream was caused for the
fulfillment of queen fair’s promise for sending back me to my
country.She immediately stood in the throne and due to her
kindness she asked me to hold her hand. So I caught her hand.
She has taken me and began flying in the air.”

“Oh, ruler of the Muslims while flying in the air we have

reached in the forest area and where one fort was there which
was locked. When queen fairy reached near the fort then lock
was opened automatically and it was falling on the earth. The
queen fairy was entered in the fort along with me. What I see
there in that fort there that many thousand rooms and verandahs
were available there.In every room there was imprison one devil
in it in the iron chains. The queen fairy was checked each and
 22

every room and asked with every devil his name. Due to fear of
the fairy queen all devils began shivering and could not able see
her face. At last the queen fairy reached in the room of the black
devil and she was inspecting his room. Oh, ruler of the Muslims,
it is very difficult to describe the greatness and the horror of the
devil and which is as follows.
1. Face was like a great tomb.
2. Mouth was like a cave
3. Height was like a great mountain
4. Eyes were like lawn of the river basin
5. Nails were nails of the elephant

He was imprisoned in thick iron chains and due to seeing of

the queen fairy and thinking that whether of killing by the
queen fairy he began shivering like a cane. The queen fairy told
him that if you agree for the faithfulness, then agree that next
time you will not disobey our order and always you will abide
and fulfil our orders faithfully and there will no room of any
complaint in this matter. Then in that case you will be freed
from the prison, otherwise take warning that you will be killed
here immediately. The Black Devil while folding his hand by
lowering his head he said that in fact he has made his mistake
so I request you to kindly forgive my mistake in this matter.I
will promise that always I will obey your orders and never
disobey your instructions.Upon hearing this talking queen fairy
told him that I bestow kindness upon your worst condition.
Well, I will free you on one condition that you have brought this
man from Madina and you have separated him from his family
members.Now you should only take him back to Madina and
upon sending him back to Madina bring me his acknowledge of
his reaching to his country. The Devil to release from the prison
 23

very soon he was agreed to take me back from there to Madina

city in happy condition and mode. The queen fairy was released
the Devil from the prison and she asked me to ride on his neck
and she has taken from his promise to take me to Madina within
a week.Oh the ruler of the Muslims at the time of departure from
there the queen fairy was taught me one supplication which is as
follows.
And she told me that “ There is no guarantee of the promises
of the Devils. They involve in the acts of breaking of the
promises and Satanic acts. I will teach a supplication in this
matter to help you against their misdeeds and atrocities so
remember it well. If Allah wills due to blessing of this prayer
there will be no calamities and dangers and you will be safe
and secure in this matter.”

Bismilla ar-Rahman Nirrahim

(In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful)

Ya dalil mutayarhin wa ya ghayas al-mustagsin wa ya mujib

dawat al-muztarin wa ya ilahi al-almin wa khair al-nasirin ba
haq eyaaka nabudi yaka nastinwa sallaa wa ala khair khalaqhe
Muhammadin wa elha ajmain berahamatik.Ya arrahma
alrahimin.

The queen fairy recited the above supplication upon me and

she said goodbye to me from there. And the devil was taken me
towards sky and and his great flight was started.Suddenly there
came an ill will as well as a bad idea in the heart of the devil so
for this reason he want to throw me towards down side.So I have
recited the queen fairy’s supplication and due to its blessing,
Allah was saved me from this problem and difficulty.Now the
 24

devil began angry with me and so for this reason he began trying
to give trouble to me and for this he began flying in the air and
some time he began diving in the rivers, but due to blessing of
the supplication there was no damage to me in this matter.Oh,
ruler of the Muslims one time that Satan was reached at such
higher height in the sky so I have heard the voices of the angles
from the sky. I heard it carefully and the angles were reciting
the following verse from the holy Quran.

Bismilla Arrhaman Nirrahmi (In the name of Allah the

most Beneficent and Merciful)

Wa safat safan wa zajirat zijran

That cursed one due to his bad habit he began flying higher in
height in the sky and the angles throw fireball at him and so he
was burnt down and becoming ashes and due to the blessing of
the prayer, I was falling down to the earth safely and securely
and I was in the condition of unconsciousness for a long period
of time. When I was becoming in the normal condition then I
was found that due to the kind grace of Allah, I was in the
condition of safe and secured. Oh, leader of the Muslims I
thought that I will be broken into pieces due to my great fall
from the sky to the earth and there will be no particle of the my
body will not be found there on the earth. But Allah kept me
safe and secure.In short, I was finding myself in the desolate
jungle and where there was not found any bird and animals.In all
four sides I have tried my best but could not find the way to
leave from that jungle area. Also, there was not found any
human beings and any persons. Also, there was not found any
grain for eating and to wear clothes there and as well there was
 25

no water available there. In the jungle there was prevailing

rustling of the winds so I was afraid in this matter due to fear
and danger into the huge jungle area. So for this reason I was
began weeping and crying there. I was weeping very much and
made loud and cry there in the wilderness of the jungle. So told
myself that oh Allah what I should do now there?, and where
should I go?, and in such grief and suffering I was seeing an
animal and his legs were like pearls and his beak were like
shining ruby and who was approached towards me and began
talking with me. And he said “ Oh Tamim you, do not worry in
this condition of grief and problem and do not lose hope and
trust on Allah.” I told him that “ I was weeping and crying due
to loneliness and helplessness.” Due to surprise, I was seeing
that animal and questioned him. “Oh cock who are you.? “ And
who was spoken like a human being or whether you belong to
group of the Jins.?,” He told me that “ He did not belong to the
category of the Jin or human begins, but he is an animal and he
has been deputed for this work from the prophet Ishaq (A.S.)
and my work is showing the way to the travelers and persons
who lost their way and for hungry passengers I will provide
water and food supply. You are a traveler. Who was lost the way
of the journey and you are hungry and thirsty. Now you stood
here and I was there in that jungle for a period of 40 days and
nights. I have eaten many kinds of food of grace there. After
forty days I told him that he wants to go from there and so he
should guide me and show the way for my journey. That animal
showed me the way and I was started towards the direction of
Qibla (direction in which the Muslim turn in prayer). By
walking on the way I was reached in the jungle. I was watching
two shapeless creatures who are proceeding towards me.When
both of them have reached to me, I found both are in the round
 26

shape, and they do not have eyes, ears and head as well as foot
and stomach and coming towards me by rolling down so for
this reason I was surprised so they told me that “Oh Tamim
Anrsari be comfortable you will reach surely to your house.” I
asked them “Who are you.? Do you belong category of Jins.?”
They have told me that “They belong to the category of the
devils. Allah created us so that on the day of judgement they
will separate the infidels from there the Muslims and take them
to the hell” I told them, “ Oh the persons of the devils he was
wandering here and there due to worry and problem in the desert
of the death. And I do not know where I am going and where is
my destination.? So help me and guide me towards my final
destination.” They told me that “ I should not leave the direction
Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer) and go
directly towards its direction. I said goodbye to them and went
towards the direction Qibla. There was passed a period the six
months in my walking journey and at the time of the hunger I
used to eat whatever available in the jungle area and whenever I
will tire then used to sit there into he jungle. But used to ride on
the tree and to watch the grace of Allah that no animals or tiger
and wild creatures did not kill me and given any harm or
damage me during my journey towards my home town Madina
city and any wolf did not take me away or any snake did not bite
me in the wilderness of the jungle area. But every wild animals
and dangerous reptiles used to see me and go fled from the spot.
By covering long distance by foot I was reached to a big
mountain on which one old pious person was busy in the prayer
there. So I reached near him and upon his finishing his prayer, I
said Salam to him and he replied to my Salam and he told me “
From where you have come and how you have come to this
place.? No human being did not reach this place by the way of
 27

the road on the earth and every year one boat used to reach this
place by way of the sea. When people get down from the boat
then he used to see the human beings at that time.” I told him “
Oh old pious person I came to this place with the kind help and
grace of Allah, I do not know from which place I was coming
there and I do not know where he is going.?. But I want to go
back to my country.” That old pious person by holding my hand
get down from that big mountain and he was taken, me towards
one direction and where he introduced me to one gentleman
there and to whom he has explained all details of the whole story
which belong to me. I told him further that “I was traveling by
foot journey since long period of time and I do not know where I
am going.?” That young man given me the good news that I
will reach back to my home surely and he will take back to me
to my home city of Madina. Even he will make me a king of the
area so you promised that whatever I will say you should obey
and follow such instructions.” I told him that “ I promised and
obey all his instructions in this matter.” That young man has
taken my hand in his hand and he shakes it and he told me to
stay here and he was vanished from there. After an elapse of
some time he has brought a tray with full of many kinds of
dishes and sweets and he put the tray before me and I was
eating full of my stomach. When I have eaten many kinds rich
food items, then he was asked me whether still you obey your
promise? I said “Yes.” He said well and he was vanished from
there. The next day he was also brought such kinds of many
high quality food items and sweets in the tray for me. When I
was eating many kinds of the rich food items, then he asked me
whether I was firm on my promised and I told him, “Yes”.
Upon hearing this he was given me one pellet in my hand and he
told that keep it safely. He said “He will put himself in the fire
 28

and he will burn in it. Then you put this pellet on the ashes, then
I will become alive again and I will take you back to his home in
your country and I will give you the seven climes kingdom to
you. I have lots of thanks to him in this matter. In his hand there
was rope also which he was given to me. Then he told me “Oh
my friend hold my two feet.” Oh Ali, I have caught his two feet
and he was taken, me and began flying in the air. In short time
we both were reached on a mountain and its length and breath is
very difficult and not able to describe its details.That person was
a magician and who sat me on the mountain and he was
vanished away from there. He came there after some time and
he asked me that “Whether I was firm on my promise.” I asked
him which is this mountain.? He said this is the mountain of Qaf
(Caucasus). Upon hearing I was becoming unconscious of
thinking how I will reach back to the country.? When I was
becoming well then I asked him that, “ You have promised that
you will take me back to my home town and what you did that
you have brought me on the mountain of Qaf and so why you
have not fulfilled your promise.?” He told me that “I should not
worry in this matter. I will surely take you to the home. So do
not object in this matter why he has taken him on the mountain
Qaf. I will give you a kingdom of the seven climes to you. So
you should firm on your promise and hold my two feet firmly.”
Upon his saying I caught his two feet firmly. Then he began
flying in the air. For many days and nights he was continued
flying in the air. At last he reached at a cave. I have seen that
there was one door in the cave on it is written Islamic creed in
large plain
 29

handwriting and he went near the cave’s door and changed his
shape. He asked for me to be firm on the promise. I told him that
“I was firm on my promise. But I do not know who are you and
to which places he is taking. I do not know what you will do for
him,?” But he did not reply in this matter. He went forward and
strike the rope on the lock of the door and by touching of the
rope so for this reason it was opened at once. He took me inside.
I have seen in the cave there many rooms are available it. In
every room there is one devil is available there. When they saw
us they began angrily and they began to try to kill both of us.
The rope with which lock of the cave opened was shown to them
so for this reason they put down their weapons and stood by
lowering their necks and followed his obedience and submission
to him. By leaving them as I have proceeded further and have
reached a great building was there which in lavish style and its
description is beyond my ability. In that building there was one
throne, which was laying there and on it there was sleeping one
pious young man in the finest dress and he is putting one hand
on his chest and other hand on his stomach. In his hand there
was one ring in which there were four gems which were
shining brightly. On the four sides of the throne there is one
python, which was sitting there. I was surprised and asked by
him, “Who is sleeping on the throne and all wild animals and
birds, python was guarding and taking care of him there.? He
said “ Oh Tamim Ansari, he is prophet Suleiman (A.S.) under
his control and authority were all wild animals and birds,
python during his life period and they all also will be remain
 30

under his control and authority after his death. The rope which
I was given to you and which belongs to the magic and with its
power of magic it have kept all things under my control and
authority and I have reached up to here. If I will get the ring,
then all things will come under his control and authority.” That
person was thinking like that then at that time one angle came
down from the sky and hit him by his hand on that person’s
neck and for this hit his neck was cut and he was falling down
on the ground and blood discharge was started there. Upon
seeing this I stood away from there so that the angel may not
kill me. When I have seen him then find in his look the love and
affection, and there is no look of and anger and rage, so for this
reason with the feelings of the fear and worry. I have reached
near him and I have asked him “Oh Darwesh for the god sake
tell me and explain me the details of this person to whom you
have killed.?” That person did not take me with him into my
house in Madina and also did not explain me his details and his
condition. It is also not known why he brought me this place.
What is this miracle.?” He told me that “ This person who was
more powerful than the devils and fairies. During his life period
he did not become obedient of the prophet Suleiman (A.S.) and
also he did not present in his service and he did come there to
steal the ring of the prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) and for this reason
he was killed. So it was not good of your living with that
cursed one and so you throw pellet and the rope now and in
these things there is magic in it and all these things are not
useful for you. The Muslim person should be away from all
these things. I am an angel and as per the command of Allah I
came down from the sky. This is prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) who is
sleeping on the throne. All these things are kept for his safety
and security.” I told him that “God bless I am a person who lost
 31

the way and away from the home at a distance of many millions
of miles so show me the way to where I should proceed.” He
told me to wear the ring which is there in the hand of that cursed
devil and thrown pellet and a rope and I have gone away on the
way which was shown to me by the angel. By walking a journey
of long distance I was reached to a fort and was entered into it.
What I have seen there that one most beautiful woman who was
sitting there and I have never seen in my life, such a beautiful
and graceful woman before and who was sitting on the throne.
When she looked at me then she was standing and get down
from the throne and he said Salam to me and she told to me “
Are you Taimim Ansari.” I told her, “Yes, the devil who was
taking you here and now where he was,?”. I replied her that “He
was killed near the throne of the prophet Sulaiman (A.S.)” and
then she said that “I think before that he will be killed when he
will reach at that place. I have advised very much in this matter,
but he should go to the palace of the prophet Sulieman (A.S.),
but he did not understand my advice and he was killed for this
reason. At last I have read in her book that in such and such
month and on such and such date at such and such time one
person in such shape and such and such name who will arrive
there and he will among the companions of the last prophet
Mohammed (peace be upon him) and from him there will be
guidance to me and I will accept the faith of Islam. Now recite
me Islamic read La Ilha-Ilah Mohammed Rasool Allah.” She
was reciting the Islamic creed and was become Muslim there. I
told her “Oh woman it seems that you belongs to a category of
the human beings.” She told me “Yes, no doubt.” Upon hearing
I was becoming happy very much in this matter as after a period
of long time I have seen a human being there. Then I asked her
“How did she came there.?” She said that “Her father was king
 32

of such and such kingdom and her mother was queen of that
country. She was most beautiful and graceful woman that like
her there was no personality of such beautiful woman was not
found in the whole world. When she was in the stomach of her
mother then that devil who took you towards the throne of the
prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) and who was killed there and who was
becoming a lover of my mother and by deceive and fraud, he
was taken, my mother from the palace and he brought here and
my mother told him that be careful that I am pregnant so do not
touch me. Till she will not deliver baby he should not come
near to her. So for this reason that devil was away from any act
of mischief. To see the kind help of Allah, with which He helps
his pious personalities from the grip and prison of the cruel
things. When the time of delivering of the baby came I was
delivered then at that time my mother queen was praying to
Allah that, “She is one of his slave women and who in nothing
now and You are the protector and owner of the respect and
honour. Now this devil wants to intercourse with me and expect
You there is nobody is there who can protect and secure my
respect and honour. I seek your help and custody as well
protection and refuge in this matter, so take me towards You
from the world so that she will be safe and secure from the
maltreatment of this devil.” The supplication was accepted in the
court of Allah and she was dying there suddenly and in this way
she was left this mortal with respect and honour due to kind
grace and mercy of Allah. The devil made loud and cry and then
he was become silent and but he was becoming kind and
favourable to me. He was taken great care and attention to my
bright up there and his favour and attention towards me was
such that due to his affection for me than all devils and fairies
who were faithful to him were also becoming faithful to me.
 33

One good looking person used to come there in the palace and
taught me education and training there. Since long time she has
a desire to see the human being belongs to Islamic religion so
that on his hand, she can accept the religion of the last prophet
Allah. So for reasons Allah has sent you to her. And Allah
awarded me the wealth of Islamic religion. Now you have to
take a rest here for some days as you are my Islamic brother and
your Islamic sister is there in this place. So you teach me matters
of Islamic religions. I stayed there for some days and was given
the information and the rules and regulation of the Islamic
religion to her there. One day I was remembering my family
members and I have a desire to see them. So suddenly stood
there and have intended to proceed from there. I have asked
permission from that Islamic sister. In the beginning she was
insisting me not to leave from there. But she was seeing me in
the condition of worry and upset then she told me to stay a
while so that she can call one devil and who will take you
towards your city Madina. So you do not have worry in this
respect. Even though your home is very far away from here,
which at a distance of travel of 2040 years, but he will take you
back to your home town sure.Upon hearing such a long distance
of my home town and so for this reason I was very much
worried and for this reason there was the condition of
unconsciousness which prevailed upon me. At that time she was
called one devil there and she told him that “He is my Islamic
brother and he is a resident of Madina city and she wishes that
you take him to his home city.” The Devil told that “Yes and he
will take back him to his home very soon.” She asked him in
“How many days he can take him swiftly to him there.” The
devil told her “Within 3 days time.” When I heard this then
there was relief and relax condition which prevailed upon me.
 34

Then she asked me to ride on the neck of the devil and then she
said goodbye to me there and at that time she was instructed me
to recite the supplication which was taught by queen fairy so
that due to the blessing of the supplication you should be safe
and secure from every danger, on your journey, go I have
surrendered to you in the custody of Allah.” That Devil took me
to the sky and want to kill me there it means he want to throw
me from the sky. So I began reciting the supplication of queen
fairy. Due to its blessing he could not do any harm to me and he
was fallen in the river and I was falling and standing on the
mountain. Then that devil came to me. So I asked him that,
“Why he is trying to kill me there.” Then he told me that except
this there is no way before him. On that way there are many
dangers are there. I asked him “What is there,?” He told me that
“On that way there is a heavy body devil reside there and who
is my enemy and when he will find both of us there, then he
will kill us together there.” I told him “What remedies in this
matter.” He told “Except breaking agreement, there is no excuse
in this matter. You give me your ring to me so that due to its
blessing I can defeat that great devil and take you back safely to
your home.”Oh, ruler of the Muslims and oh Ali and I have
given that ring from my finger. The devil puts the finger ring in
his mouth and left away from there. So I was surprised in this
matter that what to do and where to go in this hard situation.?
After waiting for some time there in helpless condition I
proceed towards in one direction. Upon passing some distance I
have seen one throne of jewels on which a great black horrible
devil like an elephant and who was keeping his trunk was
sitting there. Upon seeing me he want to kill me. I thought it was
better to be killed because I was finding difficulties and
problems in each and every step. So it is now good and be free
 35

to die instead of facing such a large number of problems and

difficulties. Due to thinking of this, I was falling down from the
mountain to the earth. Upon falling I was becoming unconscious
there. I was sure that my body will be broken into piece after a
fall from the huge mountain. When I was becoming in conscious
condition then I was found myself in good condition. I was
regretting that there was no death caused to me. Then I started
my journey towards one direction. Except everywhere there was
jungle and no human being habitations were not found there.
Everywhere wild, cruel animals and like tigers and wolves
were there and due to kind grace and help of Allah, no wild
animals and snakes did not do harm and any injury to me. I
used to wander in the jungles and when there will be prevail,
conditions of hunger, then used to eat grass and where ever I
will find green grass then used to sleep there. During the night
eat grass in the jungle and take the rest of the night and used to
go from the jungle towards further travel on my journey on the
feet. One day I reached under a huge tree and which I could not
see before in my whole life and in its shade there can stay
10,000 soldiers and as I was so tired and got good places of rest.
So I was sleeping there. After some time due to hunger, I was
standing there and began searching something here and there so
that to stop the fire of hunger. When I look at the upper part of
the tree, then what I was seen that one heavy body person was
imprisoned there in thick chains, and he was sitting there and
when I saw him then I was afraid for this reason and suddenly
lowering down my look and began thinking what big problem
will prevail there.? That heavy body person called me, “Oh
Tamim Ansari you have suffered very much difficulty and now
do not worry and you will reach back to your home soon and
your wish will be fulfilled. Due to consolation and comfort and
 36

talking of the heavy body person and so for this reason my fear
was over and hope was created for me. With much fear and
horror, I asked him, “Oh, the gentleman who you are? And why
you sit here,? And why you have imprisoned in the chains.?’ But
that man did not disclose me his name and other details in this
matter and he told only that “By order of the Allah, he was
imprisoned there, Oh Tamim Ansari I want to know some
details from you whether still the prophet Mohammed is living
or not.?” I told him that “He already left this mortal world.” He
asked me “Whether people are involved in adultery” and I told
him “Yes.” “Whether the people are involved in the acts of
gambling” and I told him “Yes”. He asked me “Whether people
are involved in acts of giving false witness.” I told him, “Yes.”
He asked “Whether people used to drink wine.?” I told him
“Yes.” In this way he asked many questions from me. After
this he was forced with a great strength so for this reason his
thick chains were broken and he was freed from that place. Then
he made a slogan due to this reason there was a great uproar in
the jungle areas and there came earthquake in the earth and the
mountains. In every place of the earth was broken there and its
dams were becoming slower. At that time one angle came from
the sky with a heavy, thick bough and hit him on head and he
said to him, “Oh cursed person still that time did not come for
which you are awaiting there. How you become free from the
chains?” and that person did not say anything to the angel of the
sky and he was standing there silently. That angel put the
heavy chain to that person again and fixed by him with the tree.
When I have seen such dealing so I become surprised for this
reason said to myself “Oh Allah what is the matter in this
respect.?” Then that angel told me, “Oh Tamim Ansari what
happened to you that you have talked with this cursed person.” I
 37

told him, “Oh pious person may Allah bestow grace upon you
and so inform me who are you.”?, and who is this person who
was imprisoned in the chains.?” He told me that “He was an
angel from the sky sent by Allah. This cursed person is antichrist
and who will come into the world at the time, day of judgment
and he will deceive all the mankind and misled all of them. The
prophet Mohammed (peace be upon) was described all his
details in his holy sayings and he was mentioned the some signs
before his coming into the world. The cursed one is asking with
you details in connection of the those signs.Oh Tamim Ansari
this is that the antichrist and I if would not come there, then he
would kill you immediately here in this jungle place and he will
not leave you alive. When I come to know this condition and
then return to my problem of wandering in the jungle and told
him that from such and such time he is wandering in the jungles
in surprised and worry condition and he is covering long
distance of travelling in the jungle by foot and in the mountain
area. For god sake, you guide me and show me the way so that I
can reach back to my home. That angle was ready to help and he
was accompanied by me and was showing me the way and he
told me “To go on the way of the Qibla and do not see here and
there. If you leave this direction then you will lose your way.”
Upon saying this the angle was vanished from there. As per the
guidance of the angle I was following the way as per shown by
the angel. In the day time I used to travel and eat grass and drink
water there and in the night time I used to sleep by eating grass
and water in the jungle areas. In this way long period of time
was passed away. One day by walking on feet what I was seen
that there is a big fort is there and its parapet are touching with
sky. I said in my heart that whatever there will be problems and
difficulties came there in the way, but he should visit the whole
 38

area of the fort and should come to know the details of secret of
the big fort there. By thinking this I was entered in the fort by
walking very fast. What I see there is one table of sandal is
available there on which l saw emerald and costly pearls and
jewels are fixed on it. On one side there is a spread dining cloth
and on it there was available many kinds of rich food items and
water jugs with full of the water were also there. Oh the ruler of
the Muslims as I was very hunger so I have eaten plenty of the
food items and drank cold and cleaned water there. When I have
eaten then I was looking towards the rooms in the fort, which
are full of wealth, of gold and silver and jewelry and with its
there was very much shining was there. When I entered in the
room, then I found many people were killed there and were
lying and there were also many swords were there. When I
looked this bloodshed and killing them, I was surprised on this
killing and bloodshed. In the heart I said oh Allah what is the
reason of it, where ever I will go and in such places I used to
found surprised and wonderful things. It is matter of thanks of
Allah that he is safe and secure from any problem and
difficulty. And me Allah is taking in His custody. When I was
thinking this then I have seen four horse riders there who were
holding their swords in their hands and they were standing at the
doors. I was surprised to see them.In my heart told now it is
difficult to go away safely from there. They may kill him there.
But I said in my heart that one day I should will be dying and if
there will be death in such place then nobody will save him
there. So with courage I proceed towards those horse riders and
said to them Assalam Alaikum. They replied my Salam and
with kindness and favour they told me, “ Oh Taimim Ansari you
have suffered many hardships and problems in the journey. So
you should not lose your heart. If Allah wills, then you will
 39

reach back to your home town successfully. Upon hearing this I

was very much happy and there were no limits of my joy in this
matter. I told him, “There may be mercy of Allah on all of you
and please inform me who are you and how you have
recognized me without knowing me and who are persons killed
here and who killed them and for god sake tell me such
information and all details.”? They told me that “They are
angels of Allah and by the order of Allah, they are posted there
as security guards of the treasure in this place. These are persons
who belong to the companions of the last prophet and who are
killed on the way of Allah. This blood flows from such time and
it will be flowing till the day of the judgement. The food which
you have eaten and which will be available into the trays and
which will not decrease or increase there and whoever sent by
Allah will eat this food items here.” Then I told them, “Up to
what time and for how many years he will be wandering in the
jungle and mountains.? Whether he will be going back to his
country of origin.” So for this reason he is facing many
problems and difficulties in this matter. For god sake, show me
the way of Madina. So they were kind to me in my worse
condition. One among them was accompanied with me as guide
and he was with me for some distance of the journey and upon
showing me he went back to his place. I proceed on the way
which was shown by the angel of Allah. On the way there was
one garden and in which I was entered into the garden. What I
see there that one pious person was busy in the prayer under a
tree. I reached near him and when he was finished his prayer,
then I said Salam to him. He was replying my Salam and he told
me “Are you that person whom people are searching you in
Madina city and your name is Tamim Ansari.” I told him “Yes,
he is the same person who has lost the way of the journey and
 40

he is away from his home country in the jungle and mountain

areas.” He told him “To proceed further then you will find one
old pious person ahead and explain him all your details to him.”
So I proceeded further. After journeying of many days I was
finding a grand garden and thought in his heart that the old pious
person will be available there and whose signs were shown by a
pious person in the previous destination. So without any fear I
was entered into the garden freely. What I see there that inside
of the garden that there was found many kinds of the trees of
fruits were there and one pious person was there who was
praying under a tree. I said Salam to him and he was replying
my Salam and he said same phrases which were told by the
previous pious person in the previous garden. I told him the
whole story of my journey on the feet. Then he consoled me and
he said to me, “ Do not worry and upset with this matter as your
days of the worry and problems are over and if Allah wills he
will be returned back to his home town as soon as possible. But
do one work that the mountain which is seen before and upon
your reach there and on which you will find the graces of Allah
on that mountain. So for this reason as per order of that pious
person I went on the mountain very soon. Where I find that
there is a garden which is 1000 times very bigger than the
previous garden and in which there were large numbers of the
fruit trees were there and all were full of the fruits on the trees.
There was no such tree was there in which there will no fruits on
it. There were also many thousand trees were available there on
which there were available many kinds of the scented flowers
were there on the trees and flowers and fragrance were full in
the large garden area and many thousand lovely and beautiful
birds were chirping in the garden in melodious voices and there
was one canal in the garden. This was a very good place of
 41

atmosphere. I have not seen and not heard by any such a grand
and beautiful garden in my whole journey and in my whole life
period. Oh the rulers of the Muslims I have visited well that
grand and beautiful garden and I have plucked very much fruits
from the trees and eaten too much fruit. I have not eaten such
best and better fruits in my whole life period. When I was thirsty
then I was search water here and there and after some time I
found one beautiful water reservoir there. I have reached there
and find its water clear and cleaned well with like a pearl as I
was thirsty so I drank very much water there. I have seen one
old woman who was sitting at the corner of the water reservoir
and who was wearing full of riches and jewels and her hairs
were in the curling style there and hanging at two sides of her
head. There was one Miswak (tooth brush) in her hand and in
the other hand she was having a big rosary. When she looked
towards me then I said Salam to her. But she did not reply my
Salam. And she was shown picked her beads and shown it to me
and she meant in this matter that she is engaged in reciting of
something there. So she could not able to reply me in this
matter. But at that time I could able understand the secret in this
matter and I asked her, “Oh woman who are you? And why she
is sitting there.?” And she is not talking and not giving reply to
my Salam to her. At that time from the corner of the garden
there was heard a horrible voice in which it was heard “Oh
Tamim Ansari what you are doing.? Go immediately from this
place.? Whether you do not fear of Us.?” Upon hearing this
voice I was afraid in this matter and somehow I left from there
and went to see the previous pious person. That person told me
“Have you seen the divine power of Allah there.?” I said “Yes.”
After some time I have asked by that old person that “Who was
that person who have sent to me to see you here. And the
 42

woman who was seen by me in the garden and who was in her
pretty and fine dress and who was she.? And whose horrible
sound was that.?.” He said that “He is prophet Ilyas (A.S.) and
I am prophet Khizer (A.S.) and that woman is the world and the
horrible sound belongs to Yajuj and Majuj (Arabic: ‫أجوج‬g‫أجوج وم‬g‫ي‬
Yaʾjūj wa-Maʾjūj), and it was good that you have come here. So
you have rest of some days here and stay with me as you have
suffered many hardships during long period of journey by the
feet so for this reason you are tired in this matter.” I told him, “
Oh Khaja god bless you and there will be mercy of Allah upon
you. It was my luck that which brought me in your kind
presence and under employment. Now on you there is
dependence on my life. By sake of kindness and favour tell me
how far my country is away from here and when I will go back
to my home from here?.” He told me “ Your home is away from
here for a journey period of 200 years.” I told him “Oh Khaja it
is sad that he is age will not be sufficient for covering the return
journey to my home town and so keeping of the hope of return
journey now seems to me useless and with fruitless.Khaja Sahib
told me “Oh Tamim do not disappoint in this matter and have
trust on Allah and Allah have divine power so he can take you
back to your home town within a second.” At that time one
piece of cloud came there and thundering was started. Khaja
Sahib asked him to come near. He came near to him and said
Salam to him. Khaja Sahib asked the cloud, “Where you are
going.?” The cloud told him that “Such and place he will go and
fall down there and will cause rain as per the order given to
him. Is any work is there which is required by him to be
attended by me there.?” Khaja Sahib told him “To go to such
and place as per the order.” Upon seeing this I was satisfied very
much in this matter. I stayed with Khaja Sahib. After three days
 43

other cloud was appeared in the sky and it also said Salam to
him and he said Salam to him and asked him “Where you
going.?”. The cloud told him that “He is going Madina city as
per the order given to him. Has any work been?.” Khaja Sahib
said “Yes, there is one work that this person who belongs Ansari
tribe in Madina city and his name is Tamim Ansari and he is a
resident of Madina and he was taken by Black Devil in the 5 th
region of the earth. By grace and favour of Allah, he was freed
from the claw of that devil. After facing many thousand
difficulties and many thousand problems he was reached here. I
have kept him here so that any cloud which will go to Madina
and take him along with him. As you are going to Madina so
taken him on your shoulder and take him to his house there. The
cloud came soon down as per instruction of Khaja Sahib and
who took me on his shoulder. Khaja Sahib said goodbye to me
and asked the cloud to leave from there. The cloud was covering
the journey of 200 years in one part of the day and it was
reached to Madina and falling there and rain was started. Oh,
ruler of the Muslims these are events which are passed on him.
After such hardships and difficulties and problems he was
reaching back to Madina city. When he was entered into his
house this event was happening there. It seems that everybody is
becoming his enemy.”

When the ruler of the Muslims was heard, his whole story,
then on the witness of the Hazrat Ali bin Taleb (R.A.) so he was
given back the women to Hazrat Tamim Ansari and with whom
her second marriage was done was giving up and she was
separated from him. He was given advice to both of them and
sent back to their home.

After some days Hazrat Tamim Ansari left Madina for the
preaching of Islamic propagation mission work and while
visiting many places he was reached to Karachi port city and he
was staying there and he was dying there. He has his testament
that on his death to put his body in the coffin and put that coffin
in the sea water. Where the coffin reaches to the shore there
then he should be buried. When the coffin was reached on the
shore of the (Sadat Bandar) Kovalam Sharif by flow on the sea
water. The fishermen tried many thousand tricks to catch the
coffin, but they could not able to catch it. When this news

Muhammed Saadatullah Khan, so he himself came there at the
Kovalam seaport and he paid his attention towards the coffin,
then at that time coffin came near the ruler of the Kovalam.
When it was opened in which it was found the dead body of the
one pious person and the shroud was found in the coffin. It was
seen that the pious was dying just now. As per testament it was
known that pious person’s name is Hazrat Tamim of Madina and
he belongs to the companions of the last prophet of Allah. At
that time the year was 75 Hegira year. About 400 years, this
coffin was flowing in the sea water and from red sea, Arabian

to Bay of Bengal. The above said ruler of the Kovalam was
