the power and authority of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, who is the Imam and leader of all Prophets? The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘I saw Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام standing in his grave and offering Salah’, so if the internal state of a grave is not hidden from the blessed gaze of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, then nothing from this universe is hidden from the sight of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
The one who is aware of the internal states of graves is aware of the states of our hearts. Moreover, we learn that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is also alive in his blessed grave, because if Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, who passed away from this temporal abode centuries before, is standing and offering Salah in his grave, then our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the Imam and leader of Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام.
Leading the Prophets in Bayt-ul-Muqaddas
Dear Islamic brothers! The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went to the blessed city in which Masjid-e-Aqsa is located. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم entered the city through Bab-e-Yamani and then went towards the Masjid. (Al-Seerat-ul-Halbiyyah, vol. 1, p. 523, selected) In order to demonstrate his lofty status, all of the Noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام were gathered at Bayt-ul-Muqaddas. (Sunan-e-Kubra-lil-Nasai, p. 81, Hadith 448) They all welcomed him and they all put him forward to lead the prayer when the time of Salah arrived. Then Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام took him by the hand and took him forward, and thus he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم led all of the Noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام in Salah. (Mu’jam Awsat, vol. 3, p. 65, Hadith 3879)
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! What an excellent Salah and what a beautiful scene in which the Prophets and Messengers عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام are following him in prayer. No doubt, such a Salah had never taken place in the entire universe. What a unique matter it was that the one who called the Azan was the leader of the angels, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, those offering Salah
