ath-thuraa
6. That's the Prophet/Apostle (saw), the father
of al-Batul (Fatimah) on the terrestrial plain, ##
Barham is one of his (Prophet Muhammad’s)
constellations and that's on the celestial plain.
7. بل أنت يامولاي شمس حقيقة ##
تجلى ركزت بمجمع فتدا ورى
7. Bal
Anta Yaa Mawlaaya Shamsu Haqeeqatin ##

COMMENTARY ON QASEEDAT AL-ISTIGHATHA
Qaseedat al-Istigaathah is the name Shaykh (Nuru
Hakeem) gave the poem, for which it became popular.
It was written by him after he returned from
al-Azhar University, where he had first met Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse, who told him
to move further from thence as his Ma'rifah exceeds such mundane knowledge.
However, on getting to Kaolakh, he (shaykh Nuru
Hakeem) was not opportuned to present the poem to Shaykh, despite his having a
former junior and fellow student at Shaykh Uthman Lanase's school in Ibadan,
now as one of the protocol officers, as Shaykh Ali Cisse's aide de camp.
It was not until Imam Hasan Cisse, whom he had
befriended (though a young man) took him by the hand to Shaykh Ibrahim's
bedroom, by-passing all protocols, that he was finally able to present the poem
(qaseedat al-istigatha) to Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse.
That was the turning point in his life, as Shaykh
Ibrahim took notice and bequested him certain divine mysteries there and then.
All these I heard direct from him (shaykh Nuru
Hakeem), on several occasions.
This poem (qaseedat al-istigatha) thus became
popular to the extent that Shaykh Hamzah Agbarigidoma, another prodigious bard
and poet (of Ilorin, Nigeria) wrote a similar copy of it which also became
popular too (i.e. Yaa Shaykh Ibrahim Fayda lil-waraa…).
CONCEPT OF ISTIGAATHA
There is an hadith of Rasul in Qastallani's
collections where he (SAW) said "Ask assistance from the men of Allah when
you are in difficulty, for Allah has men (rijaal) that you do not see positioned
for that task".
