أحب الله من أحب حسينا

 

While he was asleep in the Noble Sanctuary, Sheikh Shaarawy saw our Master the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream, where the Beloved placed his blessed hand on the Sheikh’s head, saying to him: “Do not be sad, Shaarawy, for we have a door in Egypt, which is Al-Hussein.” The Sheikh woke up from his dream, happy and joyful. The Sheikh visited our Master Al-Hussein, and while leaving the Noble Sanctuary, he saw a building being built overlooking the Husseini shrine. Sheikh Shaarawy reserved two apartments in it, one of which he allocated for feeding the poor and the other as a residence for himself, to be close to the grandson of the Beloved, peace and blessings be upon him.

Sheikh Muhammad Al-Ahmadi Al-Zawahiri, the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, may God have mercy on him, was determined to visit the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, at least once a year. When his bones weakened, his skin became thin, and his eyesight weakened, he insisted on going to visit the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, as was his habit. Sleep overcame him in the courtyard of the Mosque of our Master the Messenger of God. The Beloved came to him in a dream, saying: “O Ahmadi, do not tire yourself, for you have Al-Hussein with you; needs are met.” This is the account of Dr. Al-Saeed Muhammad, the Al-Azhar scholar. Al-Sharif and the Imam of the Mosque of Mawlana al-Hussein in his book about Mawlana al-Hussein. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, spoke the truth when he said: “Hussein is from me and I am from Hussein.

Whoever loves Hussein loves God.” The Prince of Poets, Ahmed Shawqi, fell seriously ill in his last days and was surprised by his servant informing him that His Eminence Sheikh Muhammad al-Ahmadi al-Zawahiri, the Sheikh of al-Azhar Mosque, wanted to meet him. Shawqi stood up and ran to meet the Grand Imam. When he met him and welcomed him, he asked him about the reason for honoring him with the visit. The Sheikh of al-Azhar replied: “I came to you on the orders of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him. He visited me last night and ordered me to come to you and inform you that he is waiting for you!” A few days later, Shawqi passed away. Since his death, His Eminence Sheikh Muhammad Metwally al-Shaarawy has only mentioned him and said: “Do not say Shawqi, ‘may God have mercy on him,’ but say Shawqi, ‘may God be pleased with him.’ By God, no poet has praised the Prophet as much as Shawqi did: ‘Abu al-Zahra,’ has…” I have exceeded my limit in praising you, yet I have a kinship.

I praised the owners, so I increased in value. And when I praised you, I crossed the clouds.
Sheikh al-Islam Dr. Abdel Halim Mahmoud, Sheikh of al-Azhar, entered to visit Sayyiduna al-Husayn, as was his custom before heading to the Sheikhdom of al-Azhar. His guard and companion were surprised when he removed his turban and leaned on the threshold of the shrine of Sayyiduna al-Husayn to kiss it. The people were amazed at his action. When they asked him about it, he said, may God be pleased with him, “By God, I did not kiss the threshold until I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, standing on it.”

If the lover of visiting Sayyiduna al-Husayn knew the lights and secrets that adorn him, he would never leave the shrine of Sayyiduna al-Husayn for a moment. This is what Sheikh al-Azhar, Sheikh Saleh al-Ja’fari, may God be pleased with him, said.

Sheikh al-Shaarawy sat in the mosque of Mawlana al-Husayn to begin his reflections on the Holy Quran. Suddenly, he stood up and began pacing, saying, “I will not be able to speak,” and burst into tears. They persisted in asking him about The reason? Surprisingly, someone in whose presence I could not interpret the Quran, peace and blessings be upon him, was present. Imam Al-Shaarawy, may God be pleased with him, was blessed with the gift of constantly seeing the Chosen One, peace and blessings be upon him and his family.

في غفوة له بالروضة الشريفة يرى الشيخ الشعراوى سيدنا رسول الله ﷺ فى المنام حيث يضع الحبيب يده الشريفة على رأس الشيخ قائلا له : «لا تحزن يا شعراوى فإن لنا بابًا بمصر هو الحسين».. ليستيقظ الشيخ من رؤياه فرحا مسرورا و زار الشيخ مولانا الحسين وأثناء خروجه من المقام الشريف رأى عمارة تبنى مطلة على المشهد الحسينى، فحجز الشيخ الشعراوى بها شقتين خصص إحداهن لإطعام الطعام والأخرى اتخذها سكنا له ليجاور سبط الحبيب ﷺ
كان الشيخ محمد الأحمدي الظواهري شيخ الأزهر” رحمه الله” مصرا” على زيارة رسول الله ﷺ على الأقل مرة كل عام ولما وهن عظمه ورق جلده وضعف بصره أصر على الذهاب لزيارة رسول الله ﷺ كعادته و غلبه النوم في رحاب مسجد سيدنا رسول الله فجاءه الحبيب في المنام قائلا : يا أحمدي (لا تتعب نفسك فعندك الحسين عنده تقضي الحاجات) هذه روايةالدكتور السعيد محمد “عالم الأزهر الشريف” وامام مسجد مولانا الحسين في كتابه عن مولانا الحسين . وصدق رسول اللهﷺ فى قوله
(حسين مني وانا من حسين أحب الله من أحب حسينا)
مرض أمير الشعراء أحمـد شوقي مرضاً شديداً فى أيامه اﻷخيرة،و فوجئ بخادمه يخبره أن فضيلة الشيخ محمد اﻷحمدي الظواهري شيخ الجامع اﻷزهر يريد لقاءه فهب شوقى واقفاً وهرول للقاء اﻹمام اﻷكبر فلما قابله ورحب به سأله عن سبب تشريفه بالزياره فكان جواب شيخ اﻷزهر : جئتك مأموراً من رسول الله ﷺ فقد زارنى الليلة الماضية وأمرنى أن آتى إليك وأخبرك أنه فى انتظارك
وبعدها بأيام قليلة توفى شوقى ومنذ وفاته لم يكن فضيلة الشيخ محمد متولى الشعراوي يذكره إلا ويقول : لا تقولوا شوقى “رحمه الله” ولكن قولوا شوقى “رضى الله عنه”، فوالله لم يمدح النبىَّ شاعرٌ مثل ما مدحه شوقى
أبا الزهراء ، قـد جاوزت قدري بمدحـك ، بَيْـدَ أنَّ لي انتسابا
مدحـتُ المالكين فزدت قــدرا وحين مدحتك اجتزتُ السحابا
دخل شيخ الإسلام الدكتور عبدالحليم محمود شيخ الأزهر لزيارة سيدنا الحسين كعادته قبل التوجه لمشيخة الأزهر، ففوجئ الحارس والمرافق لفضيلته إذ به يخلع عمامته وينكفئ على عتبة مقام سيدنا الحسين يقبلها فتعجب القوم من فعلته، فلما سألوه عن ذلك قال رضى الله عنه :والله ما قبلت العتبة حتى رأيت رسول الله ﷺ واقفا عليها
لو علم المحب لزيارة سيدنا الحسين ما يكساه من أنوار وأسرار ما فارق مقام سيدنا الحسين لحظة هكذا قال شيخ الأزهر الشيخ صالح الجعفرى رضى الله عنه
جلس الشيخ الشعراوي بمسجد مولانا الحسين ليبدأ خواطره حول القرآن الكريم وفجأة هب واقفا وبدأ يخطوا قائلا لن استطيع التكلم وانهمر باكيا، وألحوا في سؤاله عن السبب؟ فاجأب : لقد حضر من لا يمكن أن أفسر القرآن في حضرته صلى الله عليه وسلم. لقد حظي الإمام الشعراوى رضى الله عنه بنعمة ومنحة دوام رؤية المصطفي صلى الله واله وسلم
