Extraordinary Occurrences from the Allies of Allah

Imām al-Lālikā’ī’s 'Extraordinary Occurrences from the Allies of Allāh' presents a detailed account of miraculous events performed by the Awliya from previous nations, the companions of the Prophet, and the second and third generations. Among these extraordinary narratives is the story narrated by Sulaymān ibn al-Mughīrah, describing how ‘Abū Muslim and his army crossed the Tigris River. When the strong current destroyed their ship and caused the loss of some possessions, ‘Abū Muslim walked on the river’s surface and asked his companions if anything was missing so they could supplicate to Allāh, the Exalted, for its return. This account exemplifies the profound spiritual authority and divine favor bestowed upon the Allies of Allāh, illustrating their exceptional closeness to the Divine and the extraordinary manifestations of faith and power that defined their lives.
