Hazrat Abu Bakr ibnul-Muqri (rahimahullah) reports the following incident:

Imaam Tabraani (rahimahullah), Hazrat Abu Sheikh (rahimahullah) and I were once together in Madinah Munawwarah. We could not find anything to eat. We were suffering from hunger and used to fast for days on end.

One evening, at the time of Esha, I went to the blessed grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and said, “O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), we are extremely hungry.” After returning from the Rowdhah Mubaarak, Imaam Tabraani (rahimahullah) said to me, “Sit! Food shall either come to us or we shall die.” Thus, Hazrat Abu Sheikh (rahimahullah) and I waited while Imaam Tabraani (rahimahullah) remained seated, deep in thought.
