Awrad E Fathiya

It is written in the book “Intibah-Fil-Silasil-i-Awliya-Allah” by Hazrat Shah Wali-u-Allah Muhadith Dehalvi Mutawafi about “Awrad-e-Fathiya”.

“The description of qualities and virtues of this Awrad would by quite long. Mir Syed Ali Hamdani (R.A) has visited The Land three times and met about 1400 pious saints. At farewell with every saint, he requested for prayers and notes. He patched these letters and prayers that were continuously coming on his tongue and this became Awrad, Mir Syed Ali Hamdani (R.A) has said that when he went to Kaaba (Mecca) for pilgrimage for the twelfth time and reached Masjid Aqsa, he had a dream in which Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) came to him and he stood up and greeted, Prophet (S.A.W) took a portion out of his sleeve and said to him “Take this portion” . When he took this portion in his hand, it was the same Awrad that he used to recite. This clue lead to the name “Awrad-e-Fathiya”
