This was stated by him while addressing the members of the committee of Youm al Huzn headed by Allama Basharat Hussain Imami. Syed Mazhar Ali Shah said that Hazrat Khadija tul Kubra (pbuh) gave all her wealth to the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) for strengthening the foundation of Islam. He said that Almighty Allah has considered this practical demonstration of spirit of sacrifice as his own and said to his beloved Prophet (pbuh & hhp) ‘we found you poor and made you wealthy’. Mazhar Ali Shah said that devotion of this helper of Islam towards the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) can be gauged from this fact that the year Hazrat Khadija tul Kubra (pbuh) departed from this world, the Holy Prophet (pbuh & hhp) declared it a year of grief.
