So they got up and they went to the river to take their wudu. Now morning time came and the mureeds of course they woke up before the Sheykh does, not like today’s mureeds they are sleeping. Once there was a Sheykh who was traveling with his mureeds, and they passed through some land, and night time came they prayed and they found somewhere and they rested for the night. So it was written and the Burda Shareef it is a very powerful Qasidah that there is another story now it fits: Praising the Prophet, we can then imitate what Allah is doing. No one can do what Allah is doing, no one can do what Allah is doing except for one thing, that is praising the Prophet. But what about those who praise whom Allah Himself is praising, do you understand? You can praise Allah, but you are praising who Allah He is praising that is something else. So then he knew all praise belongs to Allah. So Prophet (asws) came and put the Burda, the mantle, the khirqa, you say the jubba, on his legs. Because at that time he was sick too, wasn’t he? He’s paralyzed and he cannot walk anymore. So he stopped from that and he started writing about the Prophet (asws).
‘Not writing to me about me?’ Prophet(asws) said.
Then he had a dream and Prophet stopped him from that. It is written by a person who use to write poetry to flatter the Kings, to flatter the Viziers, to flatter the rich people. We have given a few sohbets about this, about the Qasidah Al- Burdah. Question: What is the significance of Qasidah Burdah?
