Qasida Burdah

By: Allamah Sharafud-deen Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Hasan Al-Busairi (Rah)

The writer has composed this poem expressing the grandeur and excellence of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) when he became helpless and despairs due to his paralysed limbs. With sincerity, complete devotion and concentration he began reciting it on Thursday night in a quiet place in the hope of getting cured by the mercy of Allah.

Allah granted him complete cure from his paralysis. When he awoke he found a scarf or Shawl on his body, which he had seen Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has placed on his paralysed limbs. This resulted the poem being named as Qasidah Burdah.
