The story of the grave of Qadi al-Hajaat in Aleppo.

The Shaykh : In Aleppo, there was a grave, and praise be to Allah, it has been removed. It was not removed for religious reasons, but for the beautification of the capital. In Aleppo, there was a grave named "Qadi al-Hajaat" (Judge of Needs). The name of the deceased was Qadi al-Hajaat. It was a destination for people from everywhere, especially women. A woman would be barren and not give birth; a year or two would pass, and she would say, "My soul, I will go to Qadi al-Hajaat." What does she do? Qadi al-Hajaat’s grave is, of course, in a shrine like the ones we are discussing. The grave has a hump. Satan inspired the caretaker there that if a barren woman comes and rides on the grave like this and performs these movements, she will become pregnant, they claimed, by the permission of Allah. Later, the matter is revealed: this caretaker, with his cunning methods, suggests to these women of weak minds that she must spend the night here so that Qadi al-Hajaat will appear to her. And indeed, she believes this is true and spends the night. There is no one in that shrine but her and him. This alone is sufficient for a Muslim to know the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . When the middle of the night arrives, he appears in white clothing with pleasant scents. He gradually appears before this woman in a form that carries some awe. She had been previously instructed that she must spend the night so that Qadi al-Hajaat would appear to her. Qadi al-Hajaat appears to her, approaches her gradually until he has intercourse with her. Sometimes she goes home pregnant. Who impregnated her? The wicked, cunning caretaker who used the grave as a cover and is called Qadi al-Hajaat for years.Al-Halabi : And men and women believe in this great phenomenon, and the scholars call it the miracles (karamat) of the awliya (close friends of Allah), saying that Allah grants them what was a prophetic miracle for a prophet as a miracle for a wali. These delusions persist, and no one denies them except a few individuals who are cast out on the earth because they proclaim the truth. The hadith in this matter, unfortunately, is very, very extensive.
