A Special Prayer for his Grandson
Hazrat Abu Lubabah (ra) appeared before the Holy Prophet (sa) with his grandson, Abdur Rahman bin Zaid, (who was the nephew of Hazrat Umar (ra)), and had him covered in the bark of a date palm tree. The Holy Prophet (sa) enquired, “O Abu Lubabah, what do you bring?” Hazrat Abu Lubabah (ra) replied, “O Prophet (sa) of God, this is my grandson and I have never seen a new-born so weak.” The Holy Prophet (sa) lifted the child and put his hand on his head and prayed. Owing to the blessings of this prayer, when he became older, Abdur Rahman bin Zaid would become the tallest among all when stood in line for prayer. Hazrat Umar (ra) married him to his daughter, Fatimah, who was born to Hazrat Umme Kulsoom (ra). Hazrat Umme Kulsoom (ra) was the daughter of Hazrat Ali (ra) and Hazrat Fatimah (ra).
