Famous Saint from his time is Hadarât Imam Ahmed Rida Khan (rehmat-allahi-alaih) of Bareilly, India.

One of the famous incident which occurred in his lifetime is that once there was gathering inside the masjid on the night of Milad-un-Nabi, someone asked the imam about the prophet's ascension to heaven with the body or only his soul was taken. The imam immediately passed through the wall of the masjid and went the other side and came back and told the gathering that when he being the servant of the prophet can pass through a wall without any difficulty then why can't Muhammad, Imams of the Prophets, ascend to the heavens with his holy Body.

Syed Mohammed Asadullah Hussaini (Sajjada nashin)

Syed Mohammed Amanullah Hussaini
