Masnavi Explaining the Blessed Vision of The Blessed Companion

In the first chapter of Masnavi Shareef, that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said one day to his Companion Hazrat Zaied (Allaah be pleased with him):

The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said one day at the time of morning to Zaied, O sincere companion, in which condition you started your morning.

He said in the condition of a Mu’min worshipper then the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, if the garden of faith is open then what is it’s sign.

He said, creation only sees the sky, I see the Throne [Arsh] along with the dwellers of Arsh

The eight paradise and the seven hell are presented like this in front of me as the statues are in front of the worshipper of statue

I recognise the creation one by one, like in the factory of grinding [mill] you can differentiate between wheat and barley.

Who is the dweller of paradise and who is the cursed one. They are separate in front of me like the snake and the fish.

The dwellers of Paradise in front of my eyes are embracing each other with fondness.

My these ears have become deaf by the voice of the sigh [haa’ay], sigh [haa’ay], by the dwellers of hell and by screaming and crying and the slogans of exhalation [sign regrets]

O Prophet of Allaah, should I say the secret of the Day of Resurrection, only today should I exhibit all the secrets in the world

Yes, please say, should I say everything, or should I stay quiet, the respected Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) in reply, pressed his lips between his teeth, by which it meant, stay quiet
