Qasida Burda (The Hymn of the Cloak) by: Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad

The Egyptian author of the poem, Imam al-Busiri, suffered a stroke that left half his body paralyzed. He wrote this poem in praise of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings upon him and his family) and began singing it at everyday day until he wept. One night he sings the poem into his sleep, praying that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings upon him and his family) intercedes for him and asks God to heal him. That night Imam al-Busiri meets the Prophet (Peace and Blessings upon him and his family) who wraps his cloak around Imam Busiri. Immediately, Imam al-Busiri wakes up healed of his paralysis.
The poem has a total of 160 verses split into 10 Chapters:
Chapter 1 - Concerning the love of Muhammad (PBUH).
Chapter 2- Concerning restraining lust and carnal desires.
Chapter 3 - Concerning the praises of Muhammad (PBUH).
Chapter 4 - Concerning the birth of Muhammad (PBUH).
Chapter 5 - Concerning the blessedness of the invitation (calling towards Islam) of Muhammad (PBUH).
Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam.
Chapter 6 - Concerning the glory of the Qur’an.
Chapter 7 - Concerning the Mir’aaj (Ascent to Heaven) of Muhammad (PBUH).
Chapter 8 - Concerning the Jihad (Outer and Inner Struggles) of Muhammad (PBUH).
Chapter 9 - Concerning seeking forgiveness from God and the Intercession of Muhammad (PBUH).
Sallallhu Alayhi Wasallam.
Chapter 10 - Concerning seeking salvation and the requisition of necessities.
