From the preternatural occurrences of Shaykh Salih from Shaykh Abdul-Ba’ith al-Kattani, who says:
I saw Shaykh Salih al-Ja’fari, two or three times. In one of his lessons at al-Azhar al-Sharif it crossed my mind, ‘Shaykh Salih is from the Prophetic household, yet he’s brown skinned…how is that?’
After the lesson the students stood to greet the shaykh. Each student one by one would greet the shaykh and leave. Then it was Shaykh Abdul-Ba’ith’s turn to greet him. Shaykh Salih said to him, ‘Our master Ja’far ibn Abi Talib, the cousin of the Prophet ﷺ was brown skinned.”
May Allah be pleased with Sidi Salih al-Ja’fari and benefit us by him in both abodes. Ameen
