    After talking about the promised ten and other leading sahabah, Alahazrat writes:

    'As for Amir Muawiyah رضي الله عنه, his rank is after them all.

    And the elevated rank (maqām e rafīý) of Mawla Ali Murtada, may Allah ennoble his countenance, and his unmatched honour (shān e manīý) is such a distant position that thousands of fast horses (hazāroń hazār rahwār barq kirdār) travelling like the wind (sabā raftār) would tire but not cover this distance to this far away land.'

    subHanAllah

    had heard this passage from a mawlana sahib about a decade ago. always wanted to translate and share it but never really got down to it.

    jazakAllahu khayran sidi

    the hearts and the intellects attest that this is indeed the middle path, Alahazrat and his followers are in the dead center of it and praise is for Allah the Exalted alone.

    #Alahazrat, FR 10:201

    According to us, the people of truth, Imam Bukhari is to Imam Abu Hanifah as Hazrat Amīr Muawiyah is to the lightsome, leader of the faithful, helper of the Muslims, our master, our guardian, Ali al-Murtada karramAllahu waj'hahu. The differences in rank are innumerable and the truth is with Haydar Karrār [the attacking lion, Ali] but Muawiyah too is our leader and reviling him is the work of sinners.

    Whoever turns away from the precedence, superiority, honour and perfection of the lion of Allah in favour of Muawiyah; he is a nasibi, follower of Yazid. Allah save us.

    And whoever forgets the companionship of Muawiyah and his connection to RasulAllah ﷺ, such a person is a shi'i zaydi.

    Praise to Allah, this is the etiquette of us people of moderation and of the middle path, in every matter.

    According to us, ibn al-Jawzi is as such compared to our master Ghawth al-Azam and Mawlana Ali Qari to Shaykh al-Akbar.

    Neither do we lessen the rank of Imam al-Azam, Ghawth al-Azam and Shaykh al-Akbar due to the objections of Bukhari, ibn Jawzi and Ali Qari nor do we attack the latter due to their error in understanding.

    We know that their reason for objection was not their ego. Rather, they did not reach the elevated understanding of those exalted beloved's of Allah.

    Undoubtedly, their objections are incorrect and the objectors are forgiven and the rank of those objected upon remains the highest and purest.
    And all praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds and salutations and peace upon the leader of the messengers, Muhammad, his family and companions; his awliya and ulama, his people and group - all of them - āmīn.

    And Allah ta'ala knows best and His knowledge is complete.
