Just like the Rafidah who claim that their idle and mythical hidden imam has sanctified entire books and works of their scholars whom he met in ‘private’, the Sufis claim that their favourite poem is basically sahih according to the Prophet ( ﷺ) himself. Then, the most euphoric moment occurred: the Prophet ﷺ completed the couplet with the second hemistich: ‘And he ﷺ is the best of Allah’s creation.’ Thus, showcasing the acceptance of the Burdah and its majesty.” “On reaching couplet fifty-one, the imam recited the first hemistich and stopped as he had not finished the poem. Then, miraculously, the Prophet ﷺ himself completed the verse. Qasidah Burdah, chapter 3, verse 51Īfter reciting the first half of the verse, Imam al-Busiri paused. “The most we know of him ﷺ is that he ﷺ is a manĪnd he ﷺ is the best of Allah’s creation. One version of the story, narrated is translated as follows: It was said that the reason for his composing the Burdah was that al-Busiri was afflicted by a chronic disease, and no remedy was of any help he used to send a lot of blessings ( salawat) upon the Prophet ( ﷺ) until he saw the Prophet ( ﷺ) in a dream one night, and he covered him with his cloak ( burdah), and when al-Busiri woke up, he stood up and there was no trace of sickness in him, so he composed this poem ( qasidah). Some were not satisfied with the fabrication they placed on significance in reading this poem rather they went on to place specific rules that one should abide by when reading this poem. The Sufis claim that for each line of that poem is a special benefit such as helping you from being poor or helping you to cure diseases. The Burdah was also given the name ‘the Hardship’ because it supposedly eases off hardships when one reads it. Al-Busiri’s grave himself has been turned into a mausoleum and place of worship: His poem has a sacred status in Sufi circles who decorate their places of worship with it and even wear it as amulets. He is described as neither possessing profound knowledge nor akhlaq, in fact, he was known for his foul mouth and praise of the wicked rulers. Al-Busiri was of Algerian-Berber origin and lived in Egypt and was an adherent of the Sufi Shadhili order (tariqah) that are known for their ghuluw and heretical rituals to this very day (especially in Egypt). The Qasidah al-Burdah (‘Ode of the Mantle’), or al-Burda for short and known in Arabic also as الكواكب الدرية في مدح خير البرية is a 13th-century ode of praise of the Messenger of Allah composed by a Sufi mystic named Sharaf al-Din Muhammad ibn Saeed al-Busiri al-Sanhaji (1211–1294). So addressing any beloved person in poetry is absolutely fine (like someone addressing his beloved late mother) as it is not worship ( du’a) to begin with, however, this does not justify exaggeration let alone blatant shirk statements and justification for pagan rituals where the saints are invoked in times of need. he doesn’t invoke him in du’a for madad (as extreme Sufis do) let alone invoking his cousin and his descendants (as the Rafidah do). The reality is that the grave worshippers ( Quburis) misuse and decontextualise statements by the likes of Imam al-Saffarini who in their poems address the Prophet ( ﷺ) directly in his presence at the day of Judgement i.e. ‘beseeching from the buried saints in supplication), yet the grave worshippers claim that he was in favour and thus the practices of those who invoke other than Allah in supplication are justified. A prime example would be Imam al-Saffarini, a Hanbali-Athari authority who has never endorsed nor advocated the pagan and polytheistic practice of seeking Istighatha/Isti’anah/Istamdad (i.e. However, some poems are indeed mistakenly identified by some as containing ghuluw or even shirk. as in being loyal) of their favourite shaykhs, imams, pirs, etc. With these excuses, almost everything can be justified and has been justified and attributed to the Prophet ( ﷺ), his Ahlul-Bayt, and the rest of the Awliya under the pretext of ‘loving and honouring them.’ With such excuses, the Rafidah and Mutasawwifah even justify referring to themselves as dogs (i.e. One of the excuses that the extremists ( ghulat) from amongst the mystic Sufis and Rafidah employ in order to justify their heresies, is the claim that their blatant kufriyat are merely metaphors, poetry, etc.
