5.1.4 - Visiting the Prophet peace be upon him (Madinah, 601/1205)

The journey began northward with Medina, then Baghdad, heading to Mosul. In Tarjuman al-Ashwaq, Shaykh Muhyiddin mentioned his great love to Taybah, another name for Madinah, saying:

Amongst all the countries of God, after Taybah, Mecca, and al-Aqsa (al-Quds), my love goes to the city of Baghdad.

[Tarjuman: p. ???]

The in the Grand Diwan he says:

O the favored mosque amongst the mosques, therein the preferred Rawda as the best scene.

And the goodness of a town is Taybah, wherein the mausoleum of Mustafa Ahmad.

May Allah bless him, our master, without whom we did not succeed nor convert.

Allah connected his commemoration with Him, in every day, that you may be guided after he consideration.

Ten hidden times and another ten when announced in the call for prayers.

These are twenty coupled with the best commemoration till the end date.

[Diwan: p. 52]

Therefore, there is no doubt that Shaykh Muhyiddin was visiting Madinah on his various trips to and from Mecca, to visit the tomb of the Messenger of Allah Muhammad, peace be upon him, as he said in Chapter 552 on knowing the sate of the pole whose contemplation was the verse: (When they were unjust to themselves, if they come unto thee asking Allah for forgiveness, and the Messenger asked forgiveness for them, then they shall find Allah Repenting and Forgiving) [Quran, 4:54], in this chapter he says that the person with this contemplation according to this verse will find the Real manifested in the Mohammedan image, either in sleep or in awakening, and then if he finds the Prophet peace be upon him asking forgiveness for him, then he shall find Allah Merciful and Repenting, as mentioned in the verse.

The Shaykh then adds that he had once wronged himself, thus he came to the grave of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he found the matter according to what he had mentioned, and Allah honored his need and then he departed, and that was in the year 601/1204 [The Meccan Revelations: c. 4, p. 193].
