Adam (a.s) mking Tawassul to Prophet PBUH and His Ahlul Bayt


The level of Prophet Muhammad and his Ahlul Bayt




We have no idea about the level of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his Ahlul Bayt, in the creation and before Allah, but when we look in the Ahadith, we get amazed with such words like when Allah said to the Prophet PBUH:

"یا احمد لولاک لما خلقت الافلاک" "Oh Ahmad! If you were'nt about to to exist, i wouldn't create the galaxies"


Below we mention some Sahih, Strong Hadiths about Prophet Adam (PBUH) making Tawassul to Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his Ahlul Bayt to be forgiven even before they were physically created

Hakim Neisaburi, Mustadrak ala Sahihayn


In the hadith from Omar ibn al-Khattab mentioned by the Hakim in Mustadrak, there is a point that he had seen in the sources of the divine religions that when Adam (AS) committed that sin, he prayed to God that "O God! By the right of Muhammad (pbuh), I ask you to forgive my sin", when he was asked how did you know Muhammad?
He replied: "When I was created, I saw on the cylinders of the Throne that was written: «La Ilaha Illa Allah, Muhammad raoulullah». Then I understood that he is the highest of creatures before you. God replied: O Adam! You are right.
No creature is more loved by me than Muhammad. So call upon me through His name and  His right. So that I may forgive you."

(Mutadrak ala Sahihayn, Hakim Neyshabouri, the former, vol. 2, p. 615).


Suyuti, Durrul Mansur

 And Suyuti also narrates that Prophet Adam appealed to God as follows:

اللهمّ إنّي أسألك بحقّ محمد وآل محمد سبحانك لا إله إلا أنت، عملت سوءً، وظلمت نفسي فاغفر لي إنّك أنت الغفور الرحيم، فهؤلاء الكلمات التي تلقي آدم .


«God! I ask you, for the sake of Muhammad and the Ahlul Bayt of Muhammad (PBUH) , exalted you are and there is no diety but you, I did something bad and I wronged myself; So forgive me, for you are gracious and merciful" and those were the words that Adam received»

Trouble-solving names, for Adam



 "Sheikh Abdul Rahman Safwari - Sunni Shafi'i" and "Molla Muhammad Mobin" have quoted Imam Sadegh (as), who said:
 "Adam and Eve were sitting together when Gabriel came to them and took them into a palace of gold. There was a sapphire throne with a horn of light on it, and in the midst of it, there was a face of light with a crown on the head and two earrings of  pearl in the  ear, and a necklace of light around the neck. Both were amazed at the astonishing luminosity of that statue; So much so that Adam (pbuh) forgot the beauty of his wife Eve. So he asked Gabriel: Who is this face? Gabriel said: This is Fatima (as). And the crown is her father [symbol of Prophet Muhammad] and the necklace is [symbol of] her husband, and the two earrings [represent] her Hassan and Hussein, so Adam raised his head towards the dome of light:

فَوَجَدَ خَمْسَةَ اَسْمَاءٍ مَکْتُوبَةٍ مِنْ النُّورِ: اَنَا مَحْمُودٌ وَ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ، وَ اَنَا الْاَعْلَی وَ هَذَا عَلِیٌّ، وَ اَنَا الْفَاطِرُ وَ هَذِهِ فَاطِمَةَ، وَ اَنَا الْمُحْسِنُ وَ هَذَا الْحَسَنُ، وَ مِنِّی الْاِحْسَانُ وَ هَذَا الْحُسَیْنُ،‌ فَقَالَ جَبْرِئِیلُ: یَا آدَمُ اُحْفَظْ هَذِهِ الْاَسْمَاءَ فَاِنَّکَ تَحَتَاجُ الی‌ها، فَلَمَّا هَبَطَ آدَمَ بَکَی ثَلَاثْمِائةَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِهَذِهِ الْاَسْمَاءِ وَ قَالَ: یَا رَبِّ به حقّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِیٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةً وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَیْنِ یَا مَحْمُود، یَا اَعْلَی، یَا مُحْسِنُ، یَا فَاطِرُ، اِغْفِرْ لِی وَ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِی، فَاَوْحَی اللهُ اِلَیْهِ یَا آدَمُ لَوْ سَاَلْتَنِی فِی جَمِیعِ ذُرِّیَتِکَ لَغَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ؛

And there he saw five names written in light script: I am Mahmoud and this is Muhammad, ‌ I am supreme and this is Ali, I am Fatir and this is Fatima, I am Mohsen, and this is Hassan, and Ehsan is from me and this It is Hussein ‌ So Gabriel said: O Adam! Remember these names, which you will surely need later, ‌ (and those names will be your trouble-solver).

Nuzhat al-Majalis, Abd al-Rahman Saffuri Baghdadi, Mustafa al-Babi al-Halabi, Egypt, 1372 BC, Du Part Dirik Dil Jad, part 2, p. 230.

Amir-al-Mo;minin Imam Ali (AS) says: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about the meaning of the noble verse:"2:37". The Messenger of God (pbuh) said: "When Allah Almighty landed Adam in India and Eve in Jeddah [it took a long time for Adam, crying of sorrow] until God Almighty sent Gabriel to him and said: "O Adam, did I not create you by my [power]? Did I not blow of my soul in you? And did I not command the angels to prostrate before you? And did not I marry Eve my handmaid to you?" Adam said: Yes, it was said: "So what is this constant cry of yours?" He said: God! Why should I not weep, for I am driven away from your mercy? The Almighty God said: "Now learn these words by which Allah accepts your repentance and forgives your sin:

"اللهم إنّى أسألک بحق محمد و آل محمد سبحانک لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً و ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِی فَاغْفِرْ لِی إنّک أنتَ الغفور الرحیم اللهم انى أسألک بِحَقّ محمد و آل محمد سُبحانک لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِی‏ فَتُب عَلَىّ إِنَّکَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیم؛

«God! I ask you, for the sake of Muhammad and the Ahlul Bayt of Muhammad (PBUH) , exalted you are and there is no deity but you, I did something bad and I wronged myself; So forgive me, for you are gracious and merciful» [The Messenger of God (PBUH) said at the end]: "These are the words that Allah Almighty has taught Adam"

Some other narrations say that the words that Adam (a.s) learnt from his lord was this

According to many scholars, it does not contradict the previous Mutawater narrations but its possible that the Prophet Adam (a.s) made a prayer mixed by all of them and so repented to God through it.

A fact about Tawassul 


Tawasul is mentioned in the Quran:

یا ایهالذین آمنوا اتقوا الله و ابتغوا الیه الوسیله. 

You who believe, be mindful of God, seek ways to come closer to Him and strive for His cause, so that you may prosper.

Quran commands the "Believers" to seek a way for themselves toward Allah. "Beleievers" Prophets were also among the believers and not disbelievers (kafirs), so this verse involves them too.

But the Question is, that since the Prophets are the connections between Allah and people themselves, and people go ot them to make Tawassul and get closer to Allah, who is greater than themselves so they make Tawassul to?

The answer is Prophet Muhammad PBUH as he is the greatest Prophet before Allah, and his Ahlul Bayt (the 5 holy ones) whom Allah created from one light, to be the connections between Allah and the angels and his creations.

It has also been narrated that the People of the Book made Tawassul to the Prophet:

و کانوا من قبل یستفتحون علی الذین کفروا.

It is also narrated in Sahih Bukhari that the mother of the believers Ummu Salma washed the hair of the Prophet and gave it to patients for treatment to drink its water.
It is also narrated in Sahih Muslim that the companions washed the Prophet's cloak and drank its water for healing.
Are the hair and cloak of the Prophet, which belong to the Prophet, more valuable than the Prophet himself?

If the hair and the cloak are valuable and the companions have made Tawassul to them, then the Prophet himself is far higher and more valuable to make Tawassul to,  than his belongings.
