Question

(1) It has become a matter of general discussion among us that ‘Abd al-Qadir Jilani, in his time, [restored] a wedding procession which had been drowned in a river twelve years earlier: an old woman used to weep every day, ‘Abd al-Qadir Jilani ﵀ took pity on her, and he brought the wedding procession, drowned twelve years before, out of the river alive, and all of them, having come back to life, went off to their homes. (2)

Answer

(1) This report is false and is a slander against Hazrat Sayyid ‘Abd al-Qadir Jilani ﵀. (2) This report too is a slander and an insult to the angels of Allah. Who saw what happened in his grave and related it? (3) This too is an utterly false and absurd tale.
