A Cloak on Sayyed Shah

A Cloak on Sayyed Shah

Umar Haneef narrated to me:
One of the Mujaahideen with us was a Haafiz. His name was Sayyad Shah. He would engage in abundant Ibaadat, and would exert himself He would see such dreams which would come true, and had displayed many miracles. We visited his grave two and a half years after his shahaadat. I was with another brother who was the leader of the movement called Numl Haq'. We opened the grave of Sayyad Shah, and found him as he had been, except that his beard had grown longer. I had buried him with my own hands.
More surprising than this was that I found a black silk cloak on him, the semblance of which I had never seen before. I touched it, and found its fragrance more pleasant than musk and ambar (ambergris).

The Dua of the Mujaahideen

Moulana Arsalaan was one of the most famous Mujaahid in the whole of Afghanistan. He had instilled such fear in the hearts of the Russians that they would conduct briefings about him. They would tell the soldiers that he eats human flesh.

He narrated to me:
In one particular battle We had only one rocket with us. We thus performed Salaah and made dua unto Allaah that he should cause this one rocket to strike the enemy. We were confronted with 200 tanks and a regiment. We fired the rocket, and it struck the vehicle that was carrying provisions and explosives. It blew up and destroyed 85 tanks and a personnel carrier. The enemy were destroyed, and we captured much booty.
I [the author] myself met the young man who fired the rocket.

Birds with the Mujaahideen

1. Moulana Arsalaan narrated to me:
At times, even before the arrival of the attacking Russian aircraft, we were apprized of the imminent attack. Birds would come and hover above our troops before the jets arrived. Wherever we would see them hovering, we would prepare for the attack of the jets.

2. Moulana Abdul Jaleel Haqqam was the most famous Mujaahid of Afghanistan without exception. He told me:
On numerous occasions I had seen birds flying below the aircrafts, protecting the Mujaahideen from the shells of the bombers.

3. Abdul Jabbaar Niyaazi narrated to me: I saw birds flying below the planes on two occasions.

4. Moulana Arsalaan reported to me: I saw the birds many times protecting them [the Mujaahideen].

5. Qurbaan Muhammad narrated to me that: He once saw about 300 birds that were struck by jets, but not even one was injured.

6. Al-Haaj Muhammad Jal, who was a Mujaaahid at Kanr, reported to me: On more than ten occasions I saw the birds flying ahead of the jets, whose speed was one and a half times the speed of sound.

Fire from All Sides

Arsalaan narrated to me:

We were at a place called Shatiree. We were 25 Mujaahideen who confronted two thousand of the enemy (communists). The battle ensued, and after 4 hours the communists were defeated. Up to 80 of them were killed and we captured 26.
We said to the prisoners: Why did you people flee? They said: The American artillery and ammunition bombarded us from all four directions."

Arsalaan says: We had no artillery nor any ammunition. All we had was our individual rifles. And we were all at one location.

He also narrated to me:
The tanks attacked us and they were about 120 in number. They were assisted by a mortar and many aircrafts. Our provisions were exhausted. We were convinced of being captured. We sought protection from Allaah by means of Du'a. All of a sudden, bullets and shells rained upon the communists from all directions. They were defeated. There was no one on the battlefield besides us. He said: They were the Malaa'ikah (Angels.)

The Horses

Arsalaan also narrated to me:
We attacked the communists at a place called Arjoon and we killed 500 and captured 83. We said to them:
Why is it that you people were defeated, whereas you people killed only one Shaheed? The prisoner said: You people were riding on horses, and when we shot at them they ran away and we could not hit them with bullets.

It is established from the Quraan that the Malaa'ikah descended on the occasion of Badr.

When your Rabb commanded the Malaa'ikah, I am with you all, so strengthen those who have brought Imaan. I will soon instill terror into the hearts of those who commit kufr Strike the enemy above their necks and on all their fingertips.

The tafseer of the following aayah: was given by Imaam Kurtubi rahmatullah 'alayhi:

Most certainly, if you adopt Sabr and Taqwa, and they suddenly attack you, your Rabb will assist you with five thousand Malaaikah (angels), marked.

Every army which adopts sabr, and hopes for reward, the Malaaikah will come upon them, fighting with them, since Allaah Ta'ala has appointed these Malaaikah as Mujaahideen till the day of Qiyaamah.
Hasan rahmatullah 'alayhi said: These five thousand are a support for the Mumineen until the day of Qiyaamah.

Imaam Muslim rahmatullah 'alayhi narrates from Ibn Abbaas (ra)
By 'marked' is meant that they had a distinctive sign. According to some Mufassireen the Malaaikah were 'marked' by their unique turbans. According to others it refers to a particular sign on the horses of the Malaaikah.

On the day of Badr when a Muslim was chasing one of the mushrikeen, all of a sudden he heard the cracking of a whip above him, and the sound of a horseman saying: "Proceed, O Hayzoom!
He looked at the mushrik in front of him, laying flat. His nose was smashed, and his face split open, as if he was struck by a whip. It had become completely blackened. An Ansaari reported this to Rasulullah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, who responded: "You have spoken the truth. That was from the helpers of the third heaven."

Muhammad Yaasir reported to me:
When the communists entered a town with their tanks, they enquired where the 'stables for the horses of the Muslim brothers' were. The people were surprised since they did not ride horses. They then realized that these were the horses of the Malaaikah.

Provisions that do not Deplete.

Jalaaluddin Haqqaani narrated to me:
I issued a Mujaahid with some ammunition, and he went into the battlefield. He fired many shots, but the ammunition did not decrease, and he returned with all of it.
