After Imam Bukhari’s burial, a lingering fragrance of musk was known to emanate from his grave for an extended period. This captivating aroma drew people from distant places, who would come to his resting place to collect soil from the top of the grave, hoping to receive blessings from it.

Many people are also unaware that Imam Bukhari became blind at an early age. However, later, Allah recovered his eyesight, and he collected 600,000 Hadith. The Sahi Bukhari that you read today is compiled with his efforts. Probably, this is the reason there was fragrance in Imam Bukhari’s grave.
Imam Al-Dhahabi رحمه الله shares a compelling account of a severe drought that had plagued Samarqand. Despite the community’s efforts, including performing Salat al Istisqa’a, no relief came in the form of rainfall.
At this critical juncture, a revered and righteous man known as Salih approached the Qadhi with a bold proposal. He suggested that the Qadhi, accompanied by the people, should embark on a journey to the grave of Imam Bukhari رحمه الله, which was situated in Khartank, with the intention of pleading for rain.
The Qadhi, considering Salih’s suggestion, agreed to the plan. Thus, the group set out for Khartank and upon reaching the grave of Imam Bukhari, they collectively beseeched Allah for rain, seeking the revered Imam’s intercession.
Their prayers were answered swiftly as rain clouds materialized and brought much-needed relief. This miraculous event left a profound impact on the people, and they chose to remain in Khartank for 7 days, feeling a deep reluctance to depart for Samarqand, despite its close proximity of being only 3 miles away.
