Writers and poets wrote eloquently in praise of the noble sandals and in describing the feelings of ecstatic love for their wearer (Allah bless him and give him peace). Imam Abu al-`Abbas gathered a significant amount of these writing in his aforementioned work, as well as in his treatise Azhar al-Riyad
Imam Yusuf al-Nabahani recited about the Prophet’s ﷺ sandals:
May the best of blessings and peace be upon the owner of these blessed sandals.
Verily I serve the image of the Sandal of Mustafa ﷺ
So that I may live in both worlds under its protection
and
wa na`lun khada`na haybatan li waqariha
fa inna mata nakhda`u li haybatiha na`lu
fa da`ha `ala a`la al-mafariqi innaha
haqiqataha tajun wa surataha na`lu
We are lowered by awe to honour this Sandal.
And whenever we lower before it we are raised.
So place it on the highest shelf!
For indeed in reality it is a crown, though its image is a sandal.
And when Imam al-Fakhani first saw the Prophet’s ﷺ sandals he recited:
wa law qila li al-majnuni layla wa wasluha
turidu am al-dunya wa ma fi zawayaha
laqala ghubarun min turabi ni`aliha
ahabbu ila nafsi wa ashfa li balawaha
And if Layla’s Madman were asked: do you prefer
Union with Layla, or the world and its treasures?
He would answer: “Dust from the earth of her sandals
Is dearer to my soul, and its most soothing remedy.”
The great Ashiq-e-Rasool, Ala Hadrat Rehmatullahi ‘Alaih wrote:
Jo sar pe rakh ne ko
mill ja yai Nalayn Paak Hazoor ﷺ
to phir kahain gai ke
haan Tajdaar hum bi hain
If only i get such an honour to place
on my head the Holy Sandals of The Prophet ﷺ
then i would proudly claim that
yes i have been crowned as King as well.
The famous Hindu poet, Dillo Ram wrote (who on his death bed, was visited by the Beloved Prophet ﷺ , and accepted Islam):
Gar shams aur qamar ko koi daman mein chupale
aflak ke taro ko koye haatho se chunale
ghar daulat e dahrain ko koye hatho pe uthale
phir koye mujhse pooche ke tu kya leh?
khalqa prasad se pooch ke tu kya lee chand, suraj, sitare, daulat?
phir mein bolo keh nalain e muhammad ﷺ ko ankhon se lagaloo!!
if somebody hides the sun and moon in his lap
if someone with their hands picks the stars collects them,
if somebody lifts the entire treasure’s of the world and puts it on his hands,
and then if somebody asks me what do you want?
do you want sun, moon, stars, the entire treasuere of the world?
then i shall say that i want to put the Sandals of Muhammad ﷺ on my eyes!!
