The Answer to the Doubt of the Grave-Worshippers, Which Is That the Answering of Supplication Occurs at the Grave of a Wali

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But if someone were to say: He went to the grave of so-and-so or the grave of a certain wali and called upon him, and he was answered. Let us say that he was sick, so he went to the owner of the grave and said, “O my master, O friend of Allah, O such-and-such, O such-and-such, I am sick, so cure me,” and he was cured. What do we do?
We say: We testify that this did not cure you, and we swear to this that it did not cure you, because our Lord, Mighty and Majestic, says:
If you call upon them إن تدعوهم
Answer, everyone, read the verse:
If you invoke them, they do not hear your supplication; and if they heard, they would not respond to you. And on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your association. And none can inform you like [one] Acquainted [with all matters]. إن تدعوهم لا يسمعوا دعاءكم ولو سمعوا ما استجابوا لكم ويوم القيامة يكفرون بشرككم ولا ينبؤك مثل خبير
[Fatir 35:14]
. Is there anyone who knows better than Allah? No.
No one informs you like one who knows لا ينبؤك مثل خبير
Meaning, like Allah, Mighty and Majestic,
If you invoke them, they do not hear your supplication; and if they heard, they would not respond to you إن تدعوهم لا يسمعوا دعاءكم ولو سمعوا ما استجابوا لكم
[Fatir 35:14]
No. Well, this man called upon the owner of the grave and was cured. We say: The One who cured you is Allah, Mighty and Majestic, but He made your cure through this forbidden cause as a trial for you. A person may be tested when the causes of sin are prepared for him.
