Writing
on the subject of
قبروں
سے مدد چاہنا
Ashraf
Thanwi comments:
ہاں!
ان
سے وہ چیزیں مانگو جو ان کے پاس ہوں تو اب
بھی صاحب نسبت ان سے فیض حاصل کرسکتا ہے
Translation:
“Yes! Ask them (inmates of the graves) for that which they actually
possess, for even now the Sahib-e-Nisbat [person connected
through Sufism, mysticism, etc.] can acquire blessings and benefits
from them.”
