Description :
The writer, Imam Salih Sharf al-Din Abu Abd 'Allah Muhammad bin Hasan al-Busairi,
'alayhi rahman w'al Ridwan, had become paralysed. His doctors and physicians gave up all hope of his recovery. Eventually in this state of complete helplessness and despair he composed this poem expressing the grandeur and excellence of Sayyidina Rasulullah,
Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam. Using this as his sole means of asking Allah
Ta'aala to cure him from his illness. He isolated himself in a quiet place one Thursday night and with complete devotion, concentration and sincerity began reciting this poem.
While reciting it sleep overcame him and he had a vision of the Beloved Prophet, Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam. He told Sayyidina Rasulullah, Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam, of his illness whereupon Sayyidina Rasulullah, Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam, passed his blessed hand over Imam Busairi's body. Through the barakat and blessing of Sayyidina Rasulullah, Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam, Allah Ta'aala granted him complete cure from his paralysis. When he awoke he found a scarf or shawl on his body which he had seen Sayyidina Rasulullah, Salla Allahu alayhi wa Sallam, place on his paralysed limbs. This resulted in the poem being named "Qasidah Burdah" (The Poem of the Scarf).
