Question :Salafi are using this waqiah to confuse people. Please shed some light on this incident and other stories of Awlya Allah?
Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi’s Grandfather comes back after Death!
A strange incident is mentioned in Ashraf-us-Sawaneh (biography of Ashraf Ali Thanvi) about the great-grandfather of Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Muhammad Fareed. He was accompanying a marriage procession when it was attacked by a band of thieves. Muhammad Fareed died defending the procession and was buried near the tomb of Pir Samauddin. An urs (festival) was held at his grave for many years. The biographer writes, “After his martyrdom a strange incident occurred. At night, he returned to his home as if he was alive and gave some sweets to his family members saying, ‘If you do not tell (about my visit) to anyone, I shall keep coming this way.’ But the family members feared that the people may suspect something wrong when they see the children eating sweets, so they disclosed the incident and after this he did not return.”[1] Ashraf-us-Sawaneh, vol.1, p.12.

Answer:
Souls of Momin coming back to the world is possible and there is nothing against shariah in it..
Souls of the Kuffar are restricted after their death.
Such type of incidents are called Karamat and are proven for souls of Momin.
Karamat are Haq and there is nothing against Shariah in it.
Ashraf us Sawaneh is a reliable book.
