Date of Birth . 11 February 1118 Mosul Iraq

Sultan Nur-ud-Din Zangi, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, went to sleep after reading the Isha prayer, when suddenly he sat up.
And with moist eyes he said, "Who is persecuting my
master, the two scholars, while I am there?"
Once a time you were thoughtful about the dream that was
coming to you for three sequential days and today it came to you again a few minutes
ago in which Sarkar e Madinah two scholars pointed to two people and said that
they are persecuting me.

Now what was the decision of the Sultan, he decided to go from Damascus to Medina with some companions and soldiers. At that time, the journey from Damascus to Medina was 20-25 days, but he completed this journey in 16 days without resting and he closed all the ways to and from Madinah Pak and ask all the special and common people to eat with him in Madinah Pak.
After this announcement, many people were visiting there and
joining them to eat, you see every face, but you don't see those faces. The
sultan got anxious and he asked the governor of Madinah if there is anyone who
does not participate in this feast? He answered that there are two western
pilgrims who live in a house near Ruza e Rasool still didn’t join us to eat.These
two western pilgrims pray whole the day and in the evening they served water to
the people in Jannat al-Baqih, and they have been living in Madinah for a long
time.
The Sultan expressed his desire to meet them, both pilgrims
seemed very pious. In his house items, there was only one mat and two or four
necessary items, then suddenly the Sultan felt the floor under the mat shaking.
When Sultan detached the mat, there was a tunnel in the floor up to Ruza e Rasool.
He ordered his soldiers to descend into the tunnel. They
entered the tunnel and told back that this tunnel leads to the Holy Prophet's
grave.
When Sultan comes to know this, his face became angry. He inquired
these two western pilgrims’ about the truth and asked them to tell that who they
are.

After argument, he told them that they are Jews and have
been appointed by their people to steal the holy body of your Prophet. Sultan
started crying after hearing this, at the same time their necks were blown off.
Sultan used to cry and used to say that
"It is my
fortune that this slave has been chosen out of the whole world for this
service."
Due to this unholy incident, it was necessary to put an end
to all such incident forever. The Sultan ordered the architect to dig a trench
around the tomb of Aqdas until the water came out and filled it all.
It is written in some books that, the Sultan was also
blessed to enter into the tunnel and visit Anwar's grave and kiss the feet of
the nobles.
