The answer

"Jadhab" (attraction/rapture) among Sufis is when Allah attracts the Sufi to His presence, so that their body remains on earth while their mind swims in the celestial realm, and they become aware of the unseen. The "Majdhoob" (one who is raptured) is often either insane or an imposter, yet Sufis believe him to be one of Allah's saints. This matter is an innovation and misguidance, for if it were part of the religion, the Companions would have done it.
