If you have not, bless him, and in your dhikr imagine yourself with him in his life. He hears you and sees you whenever you mention him… If you cannot do this and you have visited his tomb, recall its image in your mind. Whenever you do dhikr or bless him, be as if you were standing at his tomb, in all honor and respect… If you have not visited his tomb, continue to bless him, and imagine him hearing you.
