Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

43-44

In the Holy Quran also, verses in accordance to this Hadis are present:

Allah Almighty says: Nor does he () speak of (his own) desire. It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired (53:3-4)

Allah Almighty says: and you (Muhammad) threw not when you () did throw, but Allah threw (8:17)

Allah Almighty says: Lo! Those who swear allegiance unto you (O Muhammad), swear allegiance only unto Allah. The Hand of Allah is above their hands (48:10)

Hence, the belief of this kind is proven as correct and valid in the light of the verses and Ahadees.

His word is the word of Allah Almighty,

No matter if is said by the tongue of the Salve of Allah,

He, who desires to sit in the Court of Allah Almighty,

He sits in the Majlis of the Aulia-Allah ,

They are Aulia (Friends) of Allah and Allah is their Aulia (the Protecting Friend),

There is allowed no parting in between them.

[Jalal ud Din Rumi]

[That is, those people who have attained Fanaa in the Essence of Allah Almighty, that is, they have linked with the Essence of Allah Almighty after completely Destroying their essence, at that time whatever they say, is the say of Allah no matter it is said by the slave.]

And the words of some Saint also match this:

Accepted Mardaan of God are not God,

But they are not even separate from God!

*

(Poet) Daagh has said this in other way:

Do not say man is God, man is not God,

But man is not separate from the Noor of God.

Regarding the feeling and perception of the smell of the shirt of Yusuf Alaihis-Salaam by Hazrat Yaqoob Alaihis-Salaam, this thing is also worth saying that he absolutely had no news of him. Had he, then why did he not went to the Kan'aan and brought him out of the well! Hazrat Yaqoob Alaihis-Salaam (Jacob) surely had so much knowledge about Hazrat Yusuf Alaihis-Salaam (Joseph) that he annulled the excuse and said

Said: Nay, but your minds have beguiled you into something (12:18)

[That is, wolves have not eaten Yusuf but you have enacted an Untrue statement]

And at second occasion, when he was sending his sons to Egypt for bringing gains, he advised them

Go, O my sons, and ascertain concerning Joseph and his brother, and despair not of the Spirit of Allah (12:87)

[That is, O sons! Go and find Yusuf and his brother Binyamin and do not be hopeless of the Mercy of Allah Almighty]

And Hazrat Yaqoob Alaihis-Salaam had also said that

It may be that Allah will bring them all unto me (12:83)

In spite of having the Ilm of the Unseen and the Inwardly Kashf , partially he remained in desperation and anxiety due to human infirmity and was partially afraid by the test of Allah for his Perseverance (with righteousness) (Sabar) and had been saying this

(My Course is) comely patience (12:83)

[That is, patience is a fine practice]

Otherwise, Hazrat Yaqoob Alaihis-Salaam had been talking concerning Yusuf Alaihis-Salaam that 'now he is there' and 'is doing that work' and his sons took it as his madness and melancholia, though his Kashf has been true.
