Dream:
Assalamualaikum,
In the dream, I asked Mawlana Shaykh Hisham to send me the shajara of his ancestors. And his lineage was going all the way up to Sayyidina Ali (ra) through one of his other sons besides Hasan (ra) and Huseyin (ra), namely Anas. I was surprised in the dream, firstly because I thought Mawlana Shaykh Hisham was a direct descendant through S.Fatima (ra) and secondly because I never heard of S.Ali (ra) having a son named Anas.
Could this dream have anything to do with the fact that recently I saw dreams of people telling me how I am a Sayyid through S.Huseyin (ra) and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham confirmed this in person to me? JazakAllah.
Interpretation:
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm:
Wa `alaykumu s-salāmu wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh,
This dream is to show you that Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is a perfect murshid as he is not only a physical descendant of Prophet (ṣall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) but also a true spiritual inheritor of Prophet (ṣall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam).
As for his noble lineage, you may read this excerpt from an article written by Shaykh Gibril Haddad:
“Sayyidi al-Shaykh Muhammad Hisham ibn al-Hajj Muhammad Salim Kabbani al-Husayni al-Naqshbandi al-Haqqani al-Shafi`i al-Lubnani (b.
1364/1945). His mother’s name is al-Hajja Yusra `Uthman al-`Alayli
al-Hasaniyya. Thus like Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, Shaykh Hisham descends from the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, through both the Hasani and Husayni sides and from both parents. His family’s prestigious lineage is well-known and well-documented in Lebanon and Syria and its genealogical tree is with the descendants of the Qari of Damascus Shaykh Muhammad `Arabi al-Qabbani al-Azhari as he himself informed me before he passed away, Allah have mercy on him. The Qabbanis of the Middle East are documented in Mu`jam al-Usar al-Dimashqiyya, a large Dictionary of the families of Damascus by the present rector of Abu al Nur Institute there, Sayyid Muhammad al-Sawwaf.”
And Allah knows best.
Wissam
