Sidi Abu Shu'ayb al-Rakaraki beautifully recites a qasidah (traditional Arabic ode) in what is most likely a zawiyya in Doukkala, Morocco in 2016. Unfortunately I'm not sure where the zawiyya is based or what tariqah (Sufi order) it is affiliated with.

The qasidah was likely written by 15th-century Shafi'i scholar Abdul Rahman al-Safoori in his book Nuzhat al-Majalis, and references several miracles attributed to the Prophet Muhammad.

Thanks to Souhir for helping to translate 2 of the harder lines.

¹ To follow and/or revere him
² It is generally accepted by orthodox Sunni Muslims - Sufi and Salafi - that the soul of the Prophet Muhammad was created before that of Adam, and that he was decreed to be the Seal of the Prophets (i.e. the final prophet) before Adam - and therefore, mankind - was created. Tā-Hā is a surah (chapter) of the Qur'ān named after its first verse, which is also one of the Qur'ānic muqatta'āt (mysterious letters). It is widely believed to be one of the names of the Prophet Muhammad, possibly because the following verses directly address him.
³ There are numerous ahadith (eyewitness narrations of the Prophet Muhammad's life) in which miracles related to trees are attributed to the Prophet, though I'm not sure which specific hadith this references, if any
⁴ Referencing a miracle narrated in the ahadith in which the Prophet had been resting his head on Ali ibn Abi Talib's leg for so long that it was close to sunset (the end of the time for the Asr prayer). The Prophet therefore prayed for the Sun to return from its position, and the Sun returned so that Ali would be able to pray the prayer. This hadith is commonly cited by the Shi'a, though not all Sunnis consider it to be authentic.
⁵ Either intended literally or metaphorically. If literal it's referring to the common belief that the horizon became filled with light the moment that the Prophet Muhammad was born (not to be confused with narrations of a similar dream that his mother Aaminah had at this time). This belief seems to originate from poetry that was written by Abbas ibn Abdul Mutallib, although I'm unsure how authentic the poetry is
⁶ I'm not sure how authentic this miracle is, but attributed to it are the many instances of what are alleged to be the Prophet Muhammad's footprints preserved in different forms of rock. The two most famous of these are believed to be preserved in the Dome of the Rock, Palestine and in Topkapi Palace, Istanbul (known as the Tripoli footprint).
⁷ Referring to the incident during the Battle of Uhud in which Qatada ibn Nu‘man's eye was struck by an arrow, dislocating it from its socket and leaving it hanging by his face. The Prophet Muhammad was reported to have taken the eye in his hand and then place it back into its socket, after which it healed and became Qatada's best eye.
⁸ Probably a reference to the Night Journey, the miraculous night during which Allah (God) summoned Prophet Muhammad to the heavens with Jibril (Gabriel) serving as his guide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isra_an...
⁹ Many Sufis revere the Prophet Muhammad to the extent of believing that Allah created the universe for his sake. This verse therefore combines this belief with a direct Qur'anic reference to verse 30 of Surah al-Anbiya: https://quran.com/21/30 - which states that the heavens and Earth were one single mass before Allah split them, and is considered by some Muslims to be a reference to the Big Bang. This verse therefore says - either literally or poetically - that were it not for the Prophet Muhammad, Allah would never have created the primordial mass of the universe, and by extension the universe itself.
