Qasida Burda Shareef

The Qasida Burda or (Poem of the Mantle) was composed by Imam Sharafuddin Muhammad Al-Busiri, may Allah have mercy on him. Imam Busiri was born in Egypt in 608 A.H. and died in 695 A.H.. Imam Busiri composed the Qasida after suffering from a stroke which left him partially paralyzed. His doctors and physicians gave up all hope of his recovery. In this state of complete helplessness and despair he composed this poem expressing the grandeur and excellence of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He isolated himself in a quiet place one Thursday night and with complete devotion, concentration and sincerity began reciting this poem until sleep overcame him. In a dream, he saw himself reciting the Qasida to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who then passed his blessed hand over Imam Busiri's body and threw his mantle over him. Through the blessing of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Allah granted Imam Busiri complete cure from his paralysis. When he awoke, he found the mantle on his body which he had seen the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) place on his paralyzed limbs.
