Question:
بِسْمِ اللهِ I saw an unknown, old, frail, short bearded shaykh in a group ahead of me. He turned back to me and I reached out to his hand to kiss it with respect. I never let his hand go until death and kept making dua with him for my current mursheed.
Answer:
That shaykh is the one in charge of your qalb, and Allah knows best. You observed the correct adab in meeting a Shaykh other than your murshid, to get his prayers for your master and to ask his assistance (holding his hand) to follow your murshid. Keep what you saw in the dream in real life and succeed in this life and the Next inshaAllah.
