Preface
This is a very old book written by great Sufi saint Hazrat

Moinuddin Hasan Chisti of Ajmare about the advices and
discourses of his spiritual master Khaja Usman Haruni and which
was translated from Persian into Urdu language and the first time
I have translated this book in English. This translation of the
most ancient and celebrated Persian book about Sufi’ism will, I
hope, be found useful not only by the number of students familiar
with the subject at first hand, but also by many readers.
This is a small book in which there are advises and instructions,
especially available for Taleb (student) and it refers to a person
who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a Tariqa
(spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik (Arabic:
‫)َس اِلك‬, a mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of
Sufism and all these details of advices by the spiritual master
Khaja Usman Haruni and are added in this book by great Sufi
saint Khaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisti of Ajmare and there are
some great achievements which are not yet known to the general
person are published in a very interesting style so for this reason
the readers will find great interest and attention in this matter.
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts
reading this book’s first page and will not stop its reading till they
will reach its last page as in this book some interesting events and
as well as other great miracles and endeavours of holy saint are
added and this holy saint to have passed away from the world
some 800 years ago.
Even though this is small book, but due to its importance it is
so great due to coverage of many interesting events and positive
information in it so it is like an ocean of knowledge and
information of holy saint and who have passed away from the
world upon doing their great endeavours and many hard tasks for
the preaching and propagation work of Islam in the foreign lands
so this book is small one but it will present the ocean of
9
knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards

the right path of Islam.
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book
‘Muslim saints and Mystics’ (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al din
Attar) which is very famous in the Western world among the
English knowing persons. So for this reason there will be some
small differences in it while comparing with the Urdu books and
its literature. The aim of this magazine is to present in the
Western world where there is great search and demand of the
books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who lived and
spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation of
Islamic religion in all corners of the world as per tradition and
practice of Allah’s last prophet.
To write about this great author is not only it is difficult and
but it is very hard task as he was not only a great pious personality
of his time in India, but he was also a great author of so many
books, Khaja Moinuddin Chishtī authored several books including
Anīs al-Arwāḥ and Dalīl al-'Ārifīn, both of which deal with the
Islamic code of living.
So in brief he was Hind al-Wali (the Saint of India) of his
time in the Indian sub-continent and who did many great
endeavours for the preaching and propagation of Islam in Ajmare
city with hopes of its expansion to other adjoining and distant
territories and there was no such personality during his time.
It is my great honour and pleasure to translate this book
from Urdu to English, so I request the readers to read this book
because in it there are many revelations of the secrets which are
added in this book for which I shall be highly obliged to all of its
readers in this matter.
In the preface of the book ‘Tadhikra Awliya’ (Muslim Saints
& Mystics), Attar mentions three books which he recommends for
those ambitious to attain a full understanding of the
pronouncements of the Sufis but in this book also there are many
10
revelations of the secrets which are available for the students of

the Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism.

Introduction
Thanks to Allah who is the creator of the universe. All praise is

due to Allah, the Lord of all creations. And hereafter is there for
the pious persons and Salutation (blessing) in his last prophet
Mohammed (peace be upon him). Bestow blessings and peace
upon our master Muhammad (peace be upon him) and upon
members of his household and his companions and those who
support him (Amin).
I pray Allah that you will become pious one so you should
know in this matter that the great Sheikh of his time Khaja
Usman Haruni who knows well the following information.
1. The knowledge of the prophets and signs
2. The secrets and lights (Anwar) of the pious persons
Khaja Haruni was a leader of the worshippers and he was the
moon of Arif (learned) persons and also he was most respected
person of his time and who is famous and well known person of
good deeds and favour and the sayings of Sheikh Khaja Haruni
(may Allah forgive him and his father) have been recorded in
this book and its title is well known in the world as ‘Anis al
Arwah’ (The friend of the souls).
By the grace of Allah who is Lord of all creations and this
Fakir (Darwesh) of lowly and very humble position and well
wisher Moinuddin Hasan Sanjari was able to get the wealth of the
kissing of the great Sheikh Khaja Usman Haruni in the mosque of
Hazrat Junaid of Baghdad and at that time respectable Mashaiq
12
(learned) persons were present there in the service of the Sheikh.

When I put my head on the earth then Sheikh told me to pray
two rakats (one rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and
prostration in prayer) of thanks so I was performing the prayer.
Then Sheikh asked me to sit in the direction of Qibla (the
direction in which Muslim turns in prayer). So I sat as per the
instruction of the Sheikh. Then Sheikh asked me to recite verse
al-Baqra so I recited it. The Sheikh asked me to recite twenty one
times “Subhan Allah, ” so I recited it. Upon this Sheikh stood and
looked at the sky and said by holding my hand which is as
follows.” I have taken him towards Allah ”. And after this he was
taken scissor in the hand and cut some hairs from my head and
put on my head the four ends Turkey cap and awarded me the
special robe of rag dress to this sincere devotee of the Sheikh
and Sheikh asked me to sit there so I sat there and he said “ In
our system of lineage there is practice of eight parts of
endeavour is there so you should busy tonight and today in the
endeavour.” So as per Sheikh’s instruction I spent one night and
one day in this endeavour and the next day I was visited Khaja
Saheb and he asked for me to sit there so I sat there. The Sheikh
asked for me to recite 1000 times Sura (verse) Iqlas so I recited
it. The Sheikh was asked to see in the sky so I looked at the sky.
So Sheikh was asked what I was observed there. So I replied him
that “ Up to the great Arsh (empyrean) everything is seen by me.”
Then Sheikh was, told me to look at the earth so I looked at the
earth, then he was asked me “What I was seen there.” So I replied
“ I could see up to the veil of the greatness.” The Sheikh was
asked to close my eyes so I closed the eyes, then he was asked me
to open the eyes. When I opened my eyes then Sheikh has shown
me two fingers and asked what is seen by me there, then I
replied him that” I could see 18,000 kinds of creations (Maqluq)
there.” When I replied this then Sheikh told me “ Go your work
is adorned”. There was one brick, which was lying there so he
asked to me to overturn it so I did the same and find there were
13
one fist of gold Dinars were available there so he asked me to

take the same and distributed among the poor persons as charity.
When I distributed the Dinars among the poor persons and
Sheikh asked me to stay there for some days. So I told the Sheikh
that I am a sincere slave and ready to obey his order.
Then Sheikh started his journey towards Makkah. This was
the first journey of well wisher. In this way we have arrived in
one city and was seen a group of intimate persons of Allah were
there and they were in the condition of un-consciousness. We
were there in the company of the above pious persons for some
days and till our presence they could not come back in the normal
condition. Then we visited Makkah city and visited Holy Ka’ba.
In that place Khaja Saheb took my hand there and handed over me
to Allah. Under the drain-pipe of the Holy Ka’ba Khaja Saheb in
his hymn prayed for this Derwesh person. So we heard there one
divine call in which it was heard “ We have accepted
Moinuddin.” Upon this we have started our journey towards
Madina and there we have visited the mausoleum of the Allah’s
last holy prophet. The Sheikh was asked to present my Salam so I
presented my Salam (Salutation ) there and was received a reply
“ Wa lakum Salam the Qutub of Mashiq (learned persons) of the
sea and jungles.” When Khaja Saheb heard this divine call then he
told me “ Today my work is completed.”
After this we have reached to Badakshan city and where we
have met there one pious person and who belongs to the followers
of Khaja Junaid of Baghdad and his age was 100 years old and
he was busy in the worship of Allah very much and he was having
only one leg with him. So when he was asked about his leg, he
told us “ One day he wants to leave the hut to fulfil his soul's
desire and at that time he was heard a divine call in which it was
said that “Oh: claimant of the convent which you have made with
us was broken by him.” So for this reason I cut my one leg with
the knife which was lying there and thrown it out of the hut. The
event was happening 40 years ago and since that time he has been
14
in the condition of surprise and he does not know how he will

show his face tomorrow to the Darwesh persons.” From there we
left and reached to Bukhara city and we have found the pious
persons of that place in one different condition which we could
not able to describe their condition in the writing.
In this way I was on the journey for the period of ten years with
Khaja Saheb. After that Khaja Saheb came back to Baghdad from
his long journey and he settled down there in loneliness. After this
I started my journey of ten years while taking spouted jug and
sleeping, cloth on my head and upon the completion of the above
period of journey I have come back to Baghdad and settled down
there in loneliness and met Khaja Saheb there.
At that time Sheikh informed me that he would live in
loneliness and he would not come out of his residence for some
period of time, so he should visit him at the time of chaste (mid
morning) so that he would give him instructions about Faqar
(indigence) so that with the help of his instructions he can adopt
Faqar. Also, these instructions and advises will help his disciples
and followers after him and with these sayings he will be
remembered always. The well wishers followed the Sheikh’s
instructions in this matter and he was used to visit Sheikh on the
daily basis and he would use to hear whatever Sheikh used to say
to him and in this way all his sayings and advises were recorded
by me and I have arranged all his sayings in this book in 28
chapters.
1.
The reality of Iman (faith)
Khaja Saheb told with his holy tongue that Abdullah bin
Abbas was narrated the saying of the prophet of Allah that
Iman is naked and its dress is piousness and its head is Faqer
(indigence) and its medicine is the knowledge and this matter’s
witness is depend upon the Iman (faith). He said
15
“Oh : Mulsim, Iman can not become more or less and if anybody
will refuse it than he is doing cruelty on himself.” Then he said
that there came the command from Allah to fight with infidel
persons till they say . The prophet who was
fighting the wars with the infidel persons and witnessed that there
is only one God. Afterwards there came the command of Allah for
prayer (Namaz) and which was accepted by the prophet of Allah.
Afterwards there came commandments of Allah for fasting of
Ramadan, Hajj and Zakat (religious tax) and these
commandments have been accepted by the prophet, and he also
accepted his faith about Allah who is the great Lord of the
worlds. With these matters, there will be an increase of the faith
(Iman) but there will no increase or decrease of it with fasting and
prayers. Because one who will perform his obligatory prayers
and if he did not do any breakdown on it, then Allah will enable
his accountability easy and there will be no problem for him in
this matter. If there will break down in the obligatory prayers,
then Allah will be commanding the angels to check on this matter
and if he will not do failure intentionally and if he would do
another extra worship then this worship should be added as his
obligatory prayer for it.
If he would not have performed his obligatory prayers
completely and he hasn't performed extra worship, then he will be
eligible for the hell and if there will be no mercy of Allah for him
or no intercession of the prophet is not available for him. The
scholars of Islamic law say that one who will refuse for the
obligatory prayers, then he will become an infidel person. But
there will be no more or less in the originality of the faith (Iman).
Then Sheikh told “ As per saying of Allah’s last prophet, those
who leave the prayer (It means one
who will leave the prayer intentionally then he will become
eligible for killing as per the instruction of Imam Shafei) so then
he will become an infidel. The Sheikh continued his discussion
16
further and said he was seen in the book of ‘Umda’ which was
written by Junaid of Baghdad as per reference by Khawjah
Yousuf Chisti that when there was a divine call (Am I not
your Lord?) was heard and at that time the souls of Muslim and
infidel persons were together in one place and upon hearing this
call these groups were divided into four groups.
The first group of the souls went into prostration upon the
hearing the divine call and they said by their hearts and tongues
yes. Then the second group of the souls also went into
prostration and they said by their tongues yes, but they have
not said by their heart. The third group of the souls was also said
yes by their tongues, but the fourth group of the souls was not
said by their tongues and hearts. Then Sheikh continued his
discussion further and informed more details in this matter that
those who have prostrated and said by their tongue and heart are
belong to category of Muslims and pious persons.
The group, which said by their tongues and have not accepted
by their hearts belonging to Muslim group who will first accept
the faith but at the time of death they leave the world without the
faith of religion. The third group which has accepted by the heart
and not accepted by tongue and they will belong to a group of
infidel persons who will not accept the faith but later they will
become Muslims. But the fourth group which have not accepted
by their tongues and heart so they belongs to a group of infidel
person as they were infidel persons since before and so for this
reason they will die as infidel persons.
When Khaja Saheb ended all these benefits and he was
becoming busy in the worship so for this reason the well wisher
left from the meeting place.
2.
17
The hymns of the prophet Adam (A.S.)
In the book of Fiqa (Islamic law) of Abul Lais Samar Qandi

in which the reference from Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (R.A.) is
mentioned that when prophet Adam (A.S.) was
learnt some matters from the Lord of words Allah and this was a
time when he was fled from the paradise and at that time Allah
told him “ Oh: Adam: why do you flee from him” and he said “
Not my Lord, but he was ashamed of him due to the reason of his
disgrace”.
After this then the discussion about solar and lunar eclipses
was started. Khaja Saheb told by holy tongue that there is a
tradition as per narrated from Ibn Abbas that once during the time
of the Allah’s last prophet there was a lunar eclipse was
occurring so when the reason for this was inquiring with the
prophet of Allah then he said that “ When there will be too much
sins of the mankind in the world and there will be too much
rudeness will prevail then there will be commanded by Allah for
the solar or lunar eclipses.”
The faces of the sun and the moon are made black so that the
mankind should take a lesson from it.” Due to the solar and lunar
eclipses, there will be calamities and problems which will occur
in the world and the details of these happenings are shown in the
months which are as follows.
1. Muherram
There will be too many killings and riots will be there.
2. Rabil al-Awwal
There will be starvation and too much death and casualties and
there will be heavy rains and winds.
3. Rabil Thani
There will be deaths of the pious persons and there will be
disorder in the country.
4. Jamdil al-Awwal
18
There will be too much thunder and heavy rainfall will be there
and there will be many sudden deaths.
5. Jamadil Thani
There will be good harvest and there will be available low prices
and for this reason the people will spend their lives in the
condition of luxury and comfort.
6. Rajab
If this month will start with Friday then there will be too much
starvation and many calamities will be sent down by Allah and
there will be sent black colour of the sky.
7. Shaban
There will be compromise and peace in the mankind.
8. Ramadan
If the month will start with Friday then there will be starvation
and many calamities will be sent down by Allah. There will be a
loud noise will be heard from the sky and due to this reason the
mankind will be waking up from the sleep and the standing
person will fall on the earth.
9. Shawwal
There will be too many diseases will be happened to the men due
to this reason.
10. Zil Hajj
There will be easy circumstances will be available. But for the
Hajj pilgrimage there will be obstacles on the way.
11.Muheram
There will occur riots during the entire year. The people will be
engaged in the explaining the defects of the each other. They will
leave the world and they will destroy their other world. In giving
their words, they will not remain as Muslim persons. The infidel
(Munfiq) persons will begin thinking the rich persons as pious
persons and they will think low to the Darwesh persons. At that
time Allah sent down the calamities upon them so that their
luxury and comforts of lives will be disturbed and destroyed.
Then Sheikh said if there will prevail, such conditions, then wait
19
for the coming of calamities from Allah.

Upon finishing the details of the above benefits, then Khaja
Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of Allah so for this
reason the well wisher left the meeting place.
3.
The destruction of the cities
In this connection the discussion was started about the

destruction of the cities in the last days of the world due to the
result of too much sins of the mankind. So he was heard in this
connection by Khaja Yousuf Chisti and who was heard this by
Khaja Yahiah Samar Qandi that when once he was travelling to
Samarqand there then he was coming to know this tradition and
which is reported by Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.) that the
following verse was sent down by Allah.
In the above verse, it is mentioned that there will be no city

in the world which will be left over before the day of judgement
on which We will not send down the calamities, punishment and
deaths.
And due to the these things the cities will be destroyed. In the
last days of the world, there will be too much sin will be
happening. The city of Makkah will be destroyed by the African
people. The city of Madina will be destroyed by starvation and the
mankind will be dying there due to hunger. The city of Basra,
Araj, Mashad will be plundered due to the bad deeds of the wine
drinking persons there. The country of Damascus will be
destroyed and plundered by the atrocities of the king. The spiders
will be coming down from the sky. The city of Rome will be
destroyed due to too much practice of sodomites. There will be
wind, which will come down from the sky and due to this reason
20
the mankind will sleep suddenly and will die at once. The city of
Khorsan and Balkh will be deserted due to the dis-honesty of the
merchants there and due to this problem the Muslims will be
dying for this reason.
Upon this Sheikh continued his discussion further and he said
“He was heard by Khaja Maudoud Chisti who told him in
Khawarazam and in the cities around it which will be destroyed
and plundered due to dance and song and atheist activities there.
The people of these cities will kill each other and at last they will
be killed. But Suaistan will be shuttered due to severe calamities,
darkness and earthquakes and the land in which they will live be
plundered. The fault of Egypt and some other cities will be that
they will kill the women and called the women as Fatima so there
will be dust in their mouths due to their misdeeds in this matter.
So for this reason Allah will kill them by putting them in the
earth. The land of Sind and India will also be destroyed and
plundered.” Again Sheikh told that “Due to adultery and
drinking of wines, all the cities will be destroyed and become
plundered and deserted. The Khaja Saheb again said that the cities
which are in the eastern and the western side will be destroyed
by the riots and its results and its reflection will reach in the
cities of India.”
The Sheikh continued his discussion further and he said that “
Upon the destruction of the above cities, then Imam Mahdi will be
appearing there and his justice and endeavour will become
famous in the eastern side to western ends of the world. At that
time prophet Jesus (A.S.) came down there from the sky and both
of them will be much interested in the mission work of the
preaching and propagation of Islam in the world. At that time the
days became shorter. So for this reason there will be one prayer
which will be performed in one day only.”
Then Sheikh told that “He was hearing from Khaja Haji that
at that time the year will become month and the month will
become week and the week will become as days and the days will
21
become shorter.” Then Khaja Saheb was began weeping and said
“ So Darwesh persons, then the man should think in such period
the years as months and the months as weeks and such weeks as
the days. The days will be passed in the short
time only.” The prophet of Allah said, “ After him there will birth
of the sons of bitches and not of the men.” So the people should
think themselves in this matter because a long period of time was
already passed away.
Upon the above discussion and explaining of the above benefits
Khaja Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of Allah. So
for this reason the well wisher left the meeting place.
4.
The obedience of the women
The discussion about obedience of the women was started and

in this matter Sheikh said “Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (R.A.) was
told that he was heard by the holy tongue of the Allah’s last
prophet that the women who will be obedient to her husband then
she will enter into the paradise along with Fatima (R.A.).” After
this he told when the husband will call her to his bed and if she
will refuse in this matter, then all her good deeds will be kept
away from her. So she will become as such clean as the snake
will become clean upon the removal of his slough. From the side
of her husband there will be too many bad deeds for which she
will become held responsible so all such bad deeds will be
recorded in her account which will be equal to the number of
sands in the jungle area. In that condition if that woman will be
dying and if her husband is not in an agreeable condition with her
then for this reason the seven doors of hell will be opened for her.
And if her husband is in an agreeable condition with the women
and if in that condition she will be dying, then for this reason the
seventy grades of the heaven will be granted to her.
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further that he was seen
22
in the book ‘Tanbi’ in which it was written that the woman who
will behave with harshness with her husband and who does not
look at him, then in that case in her account of the deeds the sins
equal number of stars of the sky will be recorded. Then Khaja
Saheb continued his discussion further and he said “ If there will
be blood discharge from his husband’s one nostril and from the
other nostril if there will be a discharge of pus, then in that
condition if she should clean the above filths by her tongue then
also she will not be able to fulfil her duties towards her husband.
So oh: Darwesh if there will prostration permitted other than
Allah then in this matter the prophet of Allah will give the order
of prostration by the women to their husbands.”
The reward of the freeing of the slave
After above advises Sheikh started his discussion about the

slaves. During this discussion one Darwesh came there and paid
respect to Khaja Saheb and with that Darwesh there was one slave
was with him and he was freed that slave person in the presence
of Khaja Saheb and for this matter Khaja Saheb prayed for him
and he said “ The prophet of Allah said, “ One who will free his
slave person then for this reason for each of the vein of the
body of the slave he will get the reward of prophethood. Before
leaving out of the world, Allah will forgive his small and big sins.
As per quantity of the number of hairs on the body of the slave
and for each and every hair one city will be established by Allah
in the paradise for him. For each and every vein of the slave there
will be awarded one light for him. Allah will allow him easy
approach on the pathway of the paradise and his name will be
recorded among the pious persons of Allah on the sky.”
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further and he said “
Once the prophet was sitting there and among his presence there
were many companions were also available there.
At that time Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) stood and he told “ Oh:
23
prophet of Allah, he has 40 slaves with him and out of them

twenty slaves were freed by him. ” So the prophet prayed for his
well being. At that time angel Gabriel was arrived there and he
told “ Oh: prophet of Allah, there is a command of Allah in this
matter that Allah was freed the persons from the hell with equal
number of hairs of the body of Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) and also
Allah have given such extent of the reward to him in this
matter.”
Upon this Umar Farouq (R.A.) stood and paid respect to the
prophet of Allah and he told him that he got 30 slaves with him
and out of these he was freed 15 slaves for the willingness of
Allah. So the prophet prayed for his welfare. At that time angel
Gabriel was arrived there and he told “ Oh: prophet of Allah,
there is a command of Allah in this matter that Allah have freed
50% persons from the hell among his Ummat (nation) of the
equal number of veins on the bodies of the slaves and also Allah
have given such extent of the reward in this matter to Umar
Farouq (R.A.).”
Upon this Usman Bin Affan (R.A.) was standing and paid
respect to the prophet of Allah and he said he got so many slaves
with him and among them he wanted to free 100 slaves for
willingness of Allah. At that time angel Gabriel was arrived there
and he told “ Oh : prophet of Allah, there is a command of Allah
in this matter that Allah was freed 100% Muslim from your
Ummat (nation) from the hell that of the equal number of veins
on the bodies of the slaves, and such extent of the reward have
given by Allah to Usman Bin Affan (R.A.) in this matter.”
Upon this Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (R.A.) stood and was paid
respect to the prophet of Allah and he told that he got nothing of
the world with him except his life which he was sacrificed for the
willingness of Allah. The discussion was in progress, then the
angel Gabriel came over there and he said to the prophet of Allah
that there is a command of Allah that Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.)
belongs to Allah as he got nothing of the world with him and We
24
have created 18,000 worlds and from among them 10,000

persons from each world have been freed from the hell by Us for
him and for you and Ali Ibn Abi Taleb’s willingness.”
The Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further that at the
time when Ibrahim bin Adham was repented and he got
possession of large number of the slaves with him so he was
freed all of them in his presence and he went away from his
kingdom to Makkah for the purpose of the Hajj pilgrimage on
foot and he was used to pray two Nafil (supererogatory) prayer
on each and every step and in this way he was reached to Makkah
City after spending fourteen years of a long journey and hard
worships and endeavours. Upon reaching Makkah, he was
astonished to see that there was not available the Holy Ka’ba in
the Holy Harem (grand mosque) of Makkah. And at that time he
was heard a divine call in which it was heard “ Oh: Ibrahim be
patient the Ka’ba went to visit one lady and it will come soon
there.” When Ibrahim Bin Adham heard this divine call he was
astonished more than before and he told who was that old lady. So
for this reason he started his search to find out the old lady as he
was wanted to see her and to know who is she.? When he arrived
in the jungle, he was seen Rabia of Basra was sitting there and
Ka’ba was doing circumambulation around her. There was envy
in the mind of Ibrahim Bin Adham and he told her in a loud
voice, “What she is kept noisy in this matter”. She was replied
him that “She did not keep the noise with her, but he had kept the
noise with him and as he reached Makkah in a period of 14 years,
but he did not find the Ka’ba there because his desire was to look
the Ka’ba only but she had desired to look the owner of holy
Ka’ba.”
The Sheikh continued his discussion further and he said “ Oh:
Darwesh that person is dead one who will look other than Allah
and who should not involve in this world and the world hereafter.
Because whatever the things which belong to his friends will
become his property and holy Ka’ba will circumambulate around
25
him and so he will not leave his edge. So, Darwesh should think
in this matter that when the prophet of Allah become the friend of
Allah, then Allah was also becoming his friend and so for this
reason there was no veil in between them and there was a voice
came to say suddenly and this deal is available
from the sky to the earth and in the world and hereafter. ”
For this reason the angels, men and jinns were thinking
themselves as freeloaders and caught the edge of the prophet of
Allah in this matter, and they have requested “Oh: prophet of
Allah does not leave them on the day judgement and do not keep
them away from his intercession.”
Oh: Darwesh you should remember this that when person will
become the property of the friend then in that case all things of his
friend becomes his belonging. But the person should overlook all
the things and he should engaged towards his friend so that the
things which belongs to his friend should follow him.”
Khaja Saheb continued his sayings further and he said that “Oh;
Darwesh once he was travelling towards Suwistan and there he
finds one Darwesh in one cave and who was well known there as
Sheikh of Suwistan and he was a very old person, but in piousness
and in his despicable position it was very remarkable and horrible
that I could not see such person before and he was in the
condition of surprise. When I reached near him and put down my
head there. So he asked me to lift my head so I lifted my head
from there and he said “Oh: Darwesh since a period of 70 years
he was not engaged by anybody except Allah but this engagement
with you is as per the order of Allah. So hear if you are claimant
of the love, then you should not engage, other than his friend and
do not establish relationships with others so that you should not
get burnt by the fire because there will be the fire of sense of
honour around the lover. When the lover thought about another
thing, leaving the beloved and at that time he will be killed by the
fire of sense of honour. So you should remember in this matter
26
that on the way of love there is a tree is there and which has its
two branches in it and its names are as follows.
1. Nergis visel
2. Nergis faraq
So the person who leaves all things and engage himself with
the friend then he will able to get the wealth of the union of the
friend. One who will be interested other than this then he will face
separation in this matter.
Upon finishing this conversation the pious person said “ Oh:
Darwesh we are discussing now about freeing of the slave
person. The prophet of Allah said, “ Those who will free the slave
person and for this reason he will see his place in the heaven
before his leaving of the world. At his time of agony the angels
will give him the good news of the heaven. Upon this he said “He
was heard by Khaja Mohammed Chisti that those who will free
the slave, then before leaving the world they will drink wine of
the heaven, and their difficulties of agony will be made easy for
them and they will be available under the Arsh (Empyrean) of
Allah on the day of judgement and they will be allowed to enter
into the paradise without accountability.”
Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of Allah, so for this
5.
The excellence of charity and its benefits
The discussion about charity was started by Khaja Saheb and

he said with his holy tongue that in the book of ‘Fatwa’ by Khaja
Yousuf Chisti he was seen that the saying of the prophet of Allah
narrated by Abu Hurara that he was asked the prophet of Allah
which action is best in all acts. Then he was asked which is best
pious deed after charity so the prophet was saying “The act of
27
recitation of holy Quran.” The Sheikh continued his discussion

further and he said Abdulla Mubarak said “He was endeavouring
with soul for a period of 70 years. Then he was able to know that
he was suffering many hardships and difficulties in this matter.
But there was no opening the door of the court of Allah. Then he
thought about himself and given away all the wealth and
belonging to the path of Allah which was in his possession and
for this reason he got the friend and who was becoming his
friend it means Allah become my friend and I was become in this
way the owner of the kingdom of the friend.”
Khaja Saheb said further that Ibrahim Bin Adam was seen in
the book ‘Asar Auliya’ that it is better to give away one Dinar
than the worship of one year in which in the day time the fasting
is observed and in the night time the worship of Allah is done by
standing position. Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further
and he told that when Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) give away 80,000
Dinars in charity on the way of Allah and he was going to see the
prophet while wearing the rag dress. At that time the prophet of
Allah was asked him Abu baker have you left something from the
treasure of the world.? Then Abu baker Siddiq (R.A.) was
replying to him and said “To him the prophet and Allah is
enough for him.” Upon saying this the angel Gabriel came there
along with 70,000 trusted angels with the rag dress and he was
paid in respect to the prophet and said there is a command of
Allah that “ Today Abu Baker was spending all of his wealth on
our way so conveys our Salam to him and he was doing such
work in which there was Our willingness. We do such work in
which his willingness is there and there is our command that
prophet Mohammed and all angles should wear the rag dress in
accordance of Abu Baker Siddiq in this matter because on the day
of judgment, we will forgive the persons who will wear the rag
dress for the sake of Abu Baker.”
Khaja Saheb said “ Once Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.) asked the
prophet of Allah, “Oh: prophet of Allah, which thing is better
28
either reading of the Quran or to give away the charity, then the
prophet of Allah replied him in this matter that “ It is better to
give away charity because it will protect you from the fire of the
hell.”
The Sheikh continued his discussion and said “ One day one
Jew was standing and he was feeding a bread to the dog on the
way. At that time by chance Khaja Hasan of Basra was passing
from there and he asked with the Jew is that dog belongs to him
or not.?” The Jew said “The dog belongs to the unrelated
person.” Then Khaja Saheb told him, “When there is such
condition then what he is doing there which is not acceptable.”
The Jew told him, “If it is not acceptable, then Allah is watching
what he is doing there.”
So in this way long period of time was passed away and Khaja
Hasan of Basra reached to Makkah and he heard a voice (Oh:
My Lord) under the drain pipe of Ka’ba and there was a divine
call in which it was heard (Oh: My slave being at your
service). For this reason Khaja Saheb was surprising in this matter
and so he decided to see the person who is having such a great
pious position. When he reached there he was seen one person
was in prostration and he was calling (Oh: My Lord). He stood
there for some time and during this period that man raised his
head and asked Khaja Saheb “ Whether he recognized him or
not?.” And Khaja Saheb was replied him “ He could not
recognize him.” That man told him “He was that person to whom
he told that his good deed in not acceptable, but Allah was
accepted, his good deed and He called him there.”
Khaja Saheb said further that “ He was seen in the book ‘Asar
Auliya’ that charity is Nori (composed of light) and its cause of
the decoration and beautification of the houries and the charity
is 1000 times better than the prayer (Namaz). He continued
discussion further and he said “On the day of judgment one group
of charity givers will be under the empyrean (Arsh) of Allah.
29
Those who will arrange for the charity before their deaths and it
will become the tombs for them after death.” Khaja Saheb said “
The charity is the straightest way of the paradise. Those who pay
charity will not be away from the grace of Allah.”
Khaja Saheb further said “ He was seen in the shrine building
of Khaja Haji Sharif that many people used to come to visit there
in the morning and evening time, but he did not see any person
who left the shrine building without eating something there. If
there is nothing available there, then Khaja Haji Saheb used to
instruct the servants to offer water to the visitors so that the day
will not be passed without giving anything to them.”
Khaja Saheb said “ Oh: Darwesh the earth is proud of the
generous persons. When he walks on the earth day and night, then
for this the good deeds are added in his account.” He said again
that “ Generous persons will feel the smell of the paradise 1000
years before and they will be eligible to get daily the reward
(thawab) of the prophets.
Upon the above discussion and explaining of the above
benefits Khaja Saheb was engaged himself in the remembrance of
Allah. So for this reason the well wisher and all other persons left
from the meeting place.
6.
The wine drinking
In this meeting the discussion about the wine drinking was

started. Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that he was seen in
the book ‘Masharaq Anwar’ in which it was written one saying of
the prophet of Allah and which is narrated by Hazrat Umar
Farouq (R.A.) “ Oh: Umar it is not Halal (legitimate) and it is
related to Haram (illegitimate) and bad and the wine does not
30
belong to Momin (faithful) persons.” Khaja Saheb said once the

prophet of Allah said, “When it will be available if it is not hard,
time then it is permissible to drink it. If longer time is passed
upon getting it and due to this reason the wine will become harder
than in that condition it is not Halal (legitimate).”
Khaja Saheb said the prophet of Allah said, “It is a disgrace
to that person one who will drink wine or sell wine or he will get
some amount of this dealing.” Then there were tears in the eyes of
Khaja Saheb and he said “ It is Shariat (Islamic law) that which
declare it as an illegal but as per the system of Tariqat (the mystic
way) it is not permissible even to drink of the river water which
causes the carelessness in the worship of Allah so it is like the
drinking of wine.”
Then Khaja Saheb told that one day Bayazid Bustami asked
by the persons about his endeavours. He said to them, “If he will
explain his endeavours then they will not have power with them
so they are unable to hear the details. But the treatment which he
was done with his soul so he can explain the same to them if
they want to hear the same. That one night he was asked the soul
to help him in the prayer, but the soul was not in agreeable
condition and so the prayer (Namaz) was lapsed because in that
night he was eating more quantity than the usual practice. When
he was waking up late in the morning and he was, decided to not
give water to the soul for a period of one year due to this
mistake.”
Khaja Saheb said “ Once there was a desire for Abu Torab
Bakshi for eating of the white bread and eggs so that if these
things available to him then he can break his fast. By chance at
the time of Asr (late afternoon) prayer when Khaja Saheb went
outside for the fresh ablution and at that time one boy came there
he caught the edge of the shirt of Khaja Saheb and he said “ He is
that thief who took away his goods on that day and he came here
again so that he could take away the goods of other persons from
here.”
31
Upon hearing this loud cries so many persons were gathered

there and the boy and his father began punching on the Khaja
Saheb. Khaja Saheb was started counting their punches and he
was counted that he was received, their six punches on his body.
At that time one person came there and he told “ Oh: people he is
not a thief but he is Khaja Abu Torab Bakshi.” So the people
began their request to forgive them for their mistake of not
recognizing him. That person took away Khaja Saheb to his
house. Upon Maghrib (evening) prayer when both were sitting
there and then that person presented before him the eggs from the
hen and white bread before him, and he requested him to eat
these food items. So Khaja Saheb upon seeing these food items
he was smiling and asked the host to take away eggs and white
bread from there and he said to him that he will not eat these food
items. So that person asked him the reason in this matter. Khaja
Saheb told him that “To day his only desire for the eggs from the
hen and bread and for this reason he was received six punches on
his body. So if he will eat these food items, then what difficulty
and problem he will face, he did know so for this reason he will
not eat these food items” and by saying this he left the house of
that person.
7.
The giving trouble to believer (Mumin)
Khaja Saheb told by with a holy tongue that the saying of the
prophet of Allah was narrated by Abu Harare “One who will give
trouble to Momin (faithful) person is same like that person who
will displease him.” Those who displeased him, then he will
displease to Allah. In the chest of the Momin there are many veils
are in it and on each and every veil there is available each angel.
So one who will tease a Momin person then he will give trouble
to the angels.”
Then the discussion about prayer (Namaz) was started and
32
Khaja Saheb said this prayer (Namaz) is performed after

obligatory prayer and our Mashaiq (learned persons) people were
performed this prayer. So one should perform four Rakats before
the prayer of Zuhar (afternoon) and whatever he knows the
Quran, he should recite in this prayer then Allah will give him the
good news of paradise. At that time 70,000 angels came down
there with the gifts from Allah and will pour down on the person
who will perform this prayer. When will wake up from the grave,
then he will be given 70 robes of honour and he will be sent to the
paradise. Those who will perform this pray after prayer of Zuhar
(afternoon) in which there is no limit of recitation of Quran and
which is not fixed, then Allah will fulfil his 1000 desires and
1000 good deeds are recorded in his account of deeds.
In book ‘Kitabe Mujeeb’ it was written that the wise person
will not perform this prayer unless he will not find the complete
Huzeri (presence) in it. In this matter he was seen in the magazine
written by Khaja Haji in which he was written that when Khaja
Yousuf Chisti was wanted to commence the prayer, but after
saying 1000 times Takbir (repetition the words Allah-o Akbar) he
used to sit down there. But when he will get the completion of
Huzeri (presence) in the Namaz (prayer) then he used to start the
prayer. When he will reach on (You alone do we
worship and You alone we seek for help.) than he used to stay
there for some time. So in this matter when he was asked the
reason for it so he told when he will get the complete presence,
then he will continue his prayer because in the prayer if there will
no observation then what will be grace in it?.
Khaja Saheb told “ Once Khaja Junaid of Baghdad and Khaja
Shibli went outside of Baghdad city and at that time the prayer
time was coming near. So both of them began busy in performing
the fresh ablution for the prayer. Upon performing the ablution,
they started praying. At that time one person was going from there
by carrying the load of firewood on his head. When he was seen
them, then he was put down his load of the firewood on the earth
33
and he began busy in performing the ablution. The pious persons

come to know by their wisdom that the person who brought the
wood from the jungle was belongs to Syed (holy prophet’s
descendents through his daughter Hazrat Fatima) so they asked
him to lead the prayer. He stayed for a long time in the Ruku
(genuflexion) and prostration. So for this reason he was asked in
this matter. He told that “Delays were due to the reason that
unless upon his one Tasbih (glorification) he will not hear of
(Oh: My slave person I am present here) then he will not
commence to recite another Tasbih.
He was there in Makkah among the servants of Ka’ba and he was
spending for some period of time there. Among those pious
persons one person was there with the name of Khaja Umar
Nasfi. One day he was leading prayer there and his condition was
changed and he put his head in meditation. After some time he
lifted his head and he began watching the sky and he asked the
people of the meeting to lift their heads and watch the sky there.
When he said this then I saw and then he told me that
“What he was saying and what he was seeing in the sky?”. I told
him that “He was seeing the angels of the first sky are standing
with the trays of mercy in their hands there and they are saying
something in their lips.” Then he told him “Do you know what
they are saying in this matter.” Then I told him that “They are
saying the worship of Sheikh is better than their worships.”
When I heard this he lifted his head and he was started hymns
and he said “Oh: Lord of the worlds whatever his slave will hear
that should also be heard by the people of the meeting. At that
time suddenly there was a divine call of the angels in which it was
heard “ Dear ones the angels who are moving their lips and they
are saying “Oh: Lord, for the sake of the endeavours and respect
of the knowledge of Khaja Nafsi forgive them.”.
After this Khaja Saheb said so this grace should be continued
in every position so the brave person should require endeavours in
34
this matter so that he should reach on such great position.

Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further and he said “Oh:
Derwesh, there was one pious person who was living in Baghdad
and he was a famous person of miracles and revelations. The
persons were asked him why he did not use to perform his
prayers. Then he told that they should not interfere in this matter.
Because unless he did not use to see the face of his friend, he did
not use to perform his prayer. Khaja Saheb said “ For this reason
so Mashaiq (learned persons) says that the knowledge is
knowledge and which is known by the learned persons. Zuhad
(ascetic) is Zuhad and which is known by the Zuhad (ascetic)
persons. This is secret matter which is only known by the person's
spirituality.
Khaja Saheb said “ One who will perform four Rakats before
Asar (late afternoon) prayer, then he will be rewarded one palace
in the paradise for each Rakat. And so he will become as such
person who was spending his whole life in the worship of Allah.
Those who will perform four Rakats in between the Maghrib
(sunset) prayer and Eisa (night) prayer, then he will become
eligible for the paradise and for him there will be success in the
difficulties and for each and every Rakat he will be rewarded the
reward (Thawab) of the prophet-hood.
Those who will perform four Rakats after Eisa prayer, then he
will become eligible for the paradise without accountability. This
prayer will be performed by the friends of Allah only and not
performed by other persons.
Those who will perform more prayers than he will become more
in the accountability. And one who will not be doing bad deeds,
but he will do good deeds more.
Khaja Saheb said “Except the hypocrite (Munfaiq) and the
disgrace person nobody will not cause Harm to Mumin
(faithful)”. Upon the above discussion and explaining of the
above benefits Khaja Saheb was engaged himself in the
remembrance. So for this reason the well wisher and all other
35
persons left from the meeting place.
8.
The abuse of Momin is to help the Pharaoh
The discussion about the abuse of Muslim was started, then

Khaja Saheb told “One who will abuse to another person then he
will become such a person as he will commit adultery with his
mother and daughter and he will become in similarity such as in
the fight of the prophet Moses and in this way he will help the
Pharaoh.”
He told “ One who will abuse to Momin so for this reason
some days his supplications are not accepted by Allah. And if he
will die without repentance, then he will become a sinner in this
matter.”
Then the discussion about eating of food was started. When the
food was brought there he said “ To bring the food items with the
cloth so that we can spread it and place the food items on it. But
the prophet did not eat the food without placing of the cloth, but
he did not object in this matter that to eat the food items without
placing on the cloth. So it is a legal matter. So come all, so that
we can follow this practice of the prophet and we can eat on it
like my brother prophet Eisa (A.S.) did in this matter.
Khaja Saheb said in this matter that “The colour of the cloth
used for placing the food items for the eating of the prophet Eisa
(A.S.) was red. Which was used to come down from the sky with
seven breads and seven kilograms of salt. So one who will eat the
food items like bread with salt while placing these food items on
the cloth then he will become eligible for 100 good deeds in his
account for every morsel and there will be upgraded his position
100 times in the paradise. He will be available in the paradise
with prophet Moses (peace be upon him). One who will eat bread
with the salt while placing on the red cloth, then he will become
eligible for grant of one city in the paradise. Then Allah will
36
forgive his sins before his finishing of the breads.”

Then Khaja Saheb told he was heard by Maudud Chisti that “
One who will eat the bread while placing it on the red cloth and
for this reason Allah will look at him with mercy.”
Khaja Saheb then continued his discussion and he said “
Shams al-Arifian (the sun of the learned persons).” This name
was given to him at the time of his visit of the mausoleum of the
prophet in Madina. This happened like that when he was present
to convey his Salam at the mausoleum of the prophet and he was
heard to reply from there in which it was told “ Labaik Ya Shams
al-Arifian it means Salam to oh: Sham al-Arifian.”
The same thing happened with Imam Abu Hanifa. When he
was visited the mausoleum of the prophet in his beginning days
and he was told “ Oh: leader of the prophets there is Salam upon
him.” And he was heard replying “Oh: the leader of the Muslims
there is Salam upon him.”
Khaja Saheb then told that Hazrat Bayazid of Bustam got
his title of Sultan Arifian and when he wake up one night and he
went to the roof of his house and he watched that all the mankind
was in the sleep. And nobody was not waking up there. So there
was an idea came into the mind of Khaja Saheb that it is regret in
this matter that in such great status of the court of Allah, why the
mankind is not waking up and not busy in the engagement of the
worship of Allah. So for this reason he wanted to pray to Allah
with a request to wake up of the mankind and to be engaged them
in the prayer in this matter. Again, another idea came into his
mind that it is the work of the intercession of the Allah’s last
prophet. So he should not dare his request to pray about this
matter.
When this idea came into his mind then he was heard a divine
call in which it was told “Oh; BA Yazid, you have observed very
much respect and care in this matter. So we have declared your
name as Sultan al-Arifian (King of the learned persons) in the
mankind.”
37
Khaja Saheb told “ The same thing happened to Ahmed

Mashooq that once in the winter season at night of Chilla (retire
40 days in mystic seclusion) he went outside at the time of
midnight and he went into the water and he was determined in his
mind that unless he will not be known about himself that who is
he?, till then he will not come out of the water. Then there he
heard a divine call in which it was told that he is such a person on
whose intercession a large number persons will be freed from the
hell on the day of judgement. Then Sheikh told that he likes this
thing and want to know who is he? Then he heard a divine call in
which it was told that all Darwesh and Arif (mystic one having an
intimate knowledge of God) persons are His lovers, but he is His
beloved,” and from there Khaja Saheb went outside and who
ever will meet him and he said “Salam oh: Ahmed Mashooq ”.
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion and he said Shamsul
Arifain did not used to perform the prayer so the persons asked
him the reason in this matter so he told them that he used to
perform the prayer without the Sura Alhamad from the Quran. So
the persons told him how is this prayer.? Upon this request, he
clarified in this matter that in the Sura Fateha he did not use to
recite the following verse from this Sura.
(Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.)
So the persons told him to recite it in the prayer. Upon this there
was discussion for a long time. When he stood for the prayer and
he was started recitation of Sura Fateha in the prayer and when
was reached at (Thee do we worship, and Thine
aid we seek.) then from all small hairs of the body the blood
discharge was started. So he told the persons who were present
there that the prayer is not good for him. But the people think that
he used to perform the prayer. Upon the above discussion and
explaining of the above benefits Khaja Saheb was engaged
himself in the remembrance of Allah. So for this reason the well
wisher and all other persons left from the meeting place.
38
9.
The excellence of occupations for the earning of livelihood
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that once the prophet of
Allah was sitting and at that time one person was standing and
asked him “ Oh: prophet of Allah, what is your opinion about my
occupation.?. The prophet of Allah was asked him what is his
occupation.? He told him that “His work is tailoring job”. The
prophet of Allah told him, “If he does this work in the righteous
way, then it is a good job. On the day of judgement you will be
sent to the paradise with prophet Idris (A.S.).” Then another
person stood and he was asked by the prophet of Allah, “What is
your opinion about my occupation.” The prophet was asked him
what is his occupation.?. He told him that “ He is doing the
agricultural work.” The prophet told him “It was a good job.
Because this job belongs to prophet Abraham (A.S.). These
works are good and beneficial work. Allah will bless you due to
the prayer of prophet Ibrahim (A.S.). On the day of judgement he
will be near the prophet Abraham (A.S.) in the paradise.” Then
again, one more person was standing and asked the prophet
“What is your opinion about my occupation?.”
The prophet was asked him “What is his occupation.? That
person told him that “ His work is teaching.” The prophet told
him “ His work is liked very much by Allah. If he advises the
mankind in that case he will be eligible for the reward of prophet
Khizer (A.S.). If he will do justice, then the angels of the sky will
request with Allah for his forgiveness.” After this, another person
was standing and he was asked the prophet “What is his opinion
about my occupation?.” The prophet told him “What work he
does?”. That person told him that “ His work is business.” The
prophet of Allah told him, “If he does this work in the righteous
way, then it is a good job. On the day of judgment he will be with
last prophet of Allah.”
39
Khaja Saheb told “The person who earns his livelihood is a

friend of Allah. But he should perform the prayers always and he
should not exceed the limit of Shariah (Islamic) law. Because it is
mentioned in the saying of the Allah’s last prophet that “One who
will earn his livelihood, then he will become the dearest person of
Allah and he will become a friend of Allah.”
benefits Khaja Saheb was engaged himself in the remembrance
of Allah. So for this reason the well wisher and all other persons
10.
The lamentation on the problems
The discussion about the difficulties was started. Khaja Saheb

said “ Abdullah Ansari was narrated the saying of the Allah’s
prophet that” One who will cry on the difficulties and for this
reason Allah will send disgrace on him.”
Khaja Saheb told further that some categories of Mashaiq
(learned persons) said “ To cry on the difficulties is an act of
infidel persons.Those who do this act and for this reason the
angels write their names among Munfaiq (hypocrite) Muslim and
there will be disgrace from Allah to those persons for their loud
and cry in this matter.”
Again Khaja Saheb told that some categories of Mashaiq
person said that “Those will make loud and cry and lamentation
at the time of problems and for this reason the sins for a period of
40 days are recorded in their accounts of deeds. And their worship
of 100 years will be confiscated. If he will die in this condition
without repentance, then he will be in the hell along with the
Satan.”
Khaja Saheb said “ Once Abraham Ben Adham was passed
40
from one way and he was heard loud and cry, then he was melted
the tin and put it into his ears and he was becoming dumb
person.”
After this Khaja Saheb said “Those who cut his edge of the
shirt due to grief and problem, then Allah will not look at them
with mercy. On the day of judgment he will be given severe
punishment for this reason.” As per one tradition in which it is
mentioned that “One who will tear his shirt so for this reason, in
between of his two eyebrows it will be written that he is
disappointed from the mercy of Allah.” But if there will be
repentance from him, then it will not be happening. Those who
will colour his clothes as black, and for this reason, in the hell 70
houses will be constructed for him there and any of his obedience
will not be accepted. His position will be become as such that he
was killed 70 Muslim persons and 1000 bad deeds will be
recorded in his account of deeds. The angles and earth and sky
will send disgrace on him till he wears the black robe.
Then the discussion about giving drinking water was started.
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that “When somebody who
will provide water to any thirsty person then at that time all his
sins will be forgiven by Allah and he will become as such that just
he was born from the womb of his mother. He will be sent to the
heaven without accountability. If he will die, then on the same
day, he will be declared as a martyred person.”
Khaja Saheb told “ One who will provide food to the hungry
person then Allah will fulfil his 1000 desires and he will be freed
from the fire of the hell and one palace will be constructed for
him in the paradise.”
He continued further and said “ Girls are gifted by Allah.
Those people who will keep them happy then Allah and his
prophet will be happy with him. To whom Allah will grants girls
and for this reason Allah will be happy with him. Those who will
be happy for the birth of a female child, then this happiness is
more than the reward of the 70 times of the visit of Holy Ka’ba.
41
Those who will be kind towards their female child, then Allah
will be kind towards them.’
Khaja Saheb told “ He was seen one saying of the prophet of
Allah in the book ‘Asar Auliya’ in which it's written that the
prophet of Allah said, “If one girl child will be born to a person
then for this reason on the day of judgment there will be a
distance of a journey of 500 years in between that person and the
hell.”
He continued further and said “ The pious persons and the
prophet of Allah used to love more the female children compared
to the male children.” He said “ Khaja Sirri Saqti had a girl with
him whom he liked her very much. Once Khaja Saheb desired
new water pot and cold water. When Khaja Saheb told by his holy
tongue that if there will be available new water pot and cold water
to enable him to break his fast and the pious person's daughter
heard this and brought soon the water pot before the house owner.
It was the time of Asar (late afternoon) prayer, but Khaja Saheb
was sleeping over the prayer mat. He was seen in the dream that
Allah was coming down to the house which was like the paradise
and asked the girl, what is her father's name.? The girl replied that
she is the daughter of that person who drink cold water from the
new water pot. When he was given a beating on his hand, so the
water pot was broken down there. He made a slogan and said
“Oh: Sirri ,he should not drink water from the new water pot.
Those who have such interest of the world, then they will never
able to get higher status and position of respect.”
benefits Khaja Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of
11.
42
The cruelty to the animals
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that Abdullah bin

Masood narrated the saying of the prophet of Allah that “One
who will slaughter 40 cows then in his account of deeds one great
sin is recorded. The animal which is slaughtered for fulfillment of
the desire of the soul, then his position will become such as that
he was helped in the destruction of Holy Ka’ba. But there is
permitted of the sacrifice of the animals there.”
Khaja Saheb said “ Oh: Darwesh he was heard by Khaja Haji
Saheb who used to say the tradition of Abdullah Mubarak that
his age is 70 years old but he did not slaughtered any animal
during this life period.”
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion and he said as per
saying of the prophet of Allah that “One who will put the animal
in the fire or kill the animal un-kindly and for its repentance is to
free the slave or to feed 60 poor persons or he should keep fasting
for a period of two months continuously.” The prophet used to say
“ Not to put any animals in the fire and in it there will be severe
punishment for him in this world and also in another world. One
who will put the animal in the fire, then his position will become
as such that who will commit adultery with his mother.”
12.
The discussion about saying Salam
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that as per saying of the
prophet of Allah has said “ At the time of leaving one should say
Salam which is an expiation for the sins. The angels will request
43
Allah for his forgiveness. At the time of leaving the person one
who will say Salam then for him there will be sent down mercy
from Allah on him and his life period and good deeds are
increased for this reason.”
Khaja Saheb said “He was heard this from Khaja Yousuf
Hasan Chisti that when one person say Salam and leave the
meeting place then he will get 1000 good deeds and his 1000
desires are fulfilled by Allah. He will be freed from the sins as
such that he was born from the womb of his mother. One year’s
sins are forgiven and one year’s worship is recorded in his
account of deeds. The reward 100 Hajj and Umra are granted to
him and the 100 trays of the mercy of Allah are poured down on
his head.”
Khaja Saheb said “Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.) said “ He
desired any occasion to say Salam to the prophet of Allah at the
time of coming or leaving the meeting place. But he could not get
the occasion. Whenever he was used to say his Salam to prophet
then the prophet, first to convey Salam to him.” It is said that it
is the tradition of the prophets of saying of Salam. All prophets of
Allah who were passed from the world used to say Salam first.
13.
The expiation (Kufara) of the prayers
Khaja Saheb said there is saying of the prophet narrated by

Hazrat Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.) that “The person whose prayers
have been lapsed then he should pray 50 Rakat in the Monday
night and in every Rakat he should recite Sura Iqlas one time
after Sura Alhamd.In that case Allah will accept expiation of his
lapsed prayers for his past period and even that period may be
44
exceeded to one hundred years.”

Upon the above the discussion, the discussion about the
standing in the prayer was started. He said the prophet of Allah
said, “ Those who will stand in the prayer in the night time when
the mankind will be under sleep. Then Allah will command the
angels watch them till the next night and to pray for their
forgiveness in the night till morning time.”
In another tradition it is mentioned one saying of the prophet
of Allah in which it was said that “ One who prays 20 Rakats on
the Friday and in every Rakat, he should recite one time Sura
Iqlas after Sura Alhamd then he will be woken up among the
martyrs and Siddiq (truthful) persons on the day of judgment and
for every Rakat he will get the reward of the worship of the day
and night. And for every word he will be given light and he will
be passed away smoothly from the pathway of the paradise.
Khaja Saheb said “ One who will stand in the prayer and due
to his endeavours in this matter, one who will shake his neck to
equal number of shaking of the neck of the camel but it is better
for him to perform 60 Hajj and Umra.” Then for him the doors of
mercy will be opened by Allah.
Khaja Saheb told once he was staying
in Samarqand as a traveler there. Where there was one pious
person who was known as Sheikh Abdul Wahed Samarqandi.
From him he was heard that there will be no pleasure in Iman
(faith) unless there will no standing in the prayer of day and night
time. So one who will engage himself in the above two works,
then he will get pleasure in the Iman (faith).
Then Khaja Saheb told that “ Imam Abu Hanifa could not
sleep during the night time for a period of 30 years and his body
could not touch the earth.” Khaja Saheb told “ When Imam Abu
Hanifa was performing his last Hajj and he came over at the door
of the Ka’ba in Makkah and he then told to open the door of
Ka’ba to enable him to perform the prayer of Allah there. So the
door of the Ka’ba was opened.”
45
Sheikh Saheb said “ In the book ‘Fatwa Zaheeri’ the writer

was mentioned in its last chapter about this event that “ When
Imam Abu Hanifa performed his last Hajj then he thought that he
will not visit this place again. So he was requested the servants of
the holy Ka’ba in Makkah to open the doors so that he should go
inside of the Holy Ka’ba and perform the worship of Allah for
one night there.”
The servants replied him “This will be the new thing there and
as nobody, hasn't done this act before him.” But due to his higher
knowledge and his excellence as all the world will follow him so
for this purpose his desire will be fulfilled. ” So for this reason
Imam Abu Hanifa was allowed to enter into Holy Ka’ba. Imam
Abu Hanifa and his friends stood inside and did intention of two
Rakats (one Rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and
prostration in prayer) of prayer and put the left leg on the right
leg and was completed the recitation of half portion of the Quran
and then Imam Saheb put the right leg on the left leg and he was
completing the recitation of another half portion of the Quran
there. After the prayer, he started his supplication which is as
follows.
“ Oh: Lord of the worlds, the rights of His worship he could
not fulfil. Also, he could not recognize Him well as per its
requirements. So overlook this humble person’s defect in the
service.” There was a divine call in which it was said “ Oh: Abu
Hanifa he was recognized as well and he was made too much
Our service. We forgive him and all the persons who will follow
him till the day of judgment.” Upon saying all these details
Sheikh of Islam said due to the grace of Allah, he is also follower
Imam Abu Hanifa.
Khaja Saheb told Khaja Yousouf Chisti did not sleep for a
period of 40 years and his holy body could not touch the earth
for this reason. Khaja Saheb continued his discussion and he said
Khaja Ahmed Chisti stayed in his prayer for a period of 30 years
in the night time. Every night he used to recite two Quran in two
46
Rakats of the prayer. Khaja Saheb continued his discussion

further and he said it is known that he was seen Allah in his dream
and upon this he did not sleep in the rest of his life. After this
event he was living for a period of 70 years. When his last time
was nearer than one pious person saw him in his dream and he
was asked him how his condition.? And how he is leaving?. Then
he told him “He was leaving the world like a brave person. Oh:
dear ones, the event of his dream was happening 70 years ago, but
he did not tell this matter to anybody. At this time also while
falling in the pleasure of the dream and he is leaving the world.”
Khaja Saheb told “ Oh: Darwesh there is light also in this
world and also light on the pathway of paradise and in the
paradise. Khaja Saheb told “ One who will stand for the prayer in
the night and who make supplication, then his prayers are
accepted by Allah. And one who will desire for Allah and then
Allah will also be happy with him.”
Khaja Saheb told “ Once he was travelling towards Bukhara
there and he was seen one pious person who was very pious and
a man of position and in his company he was living there for a
period of some time. He was watching that he was standing in the
prayer in every night. It was also heard that he was standing in the
prayer since 40 years and during this period of time his body did
not touch the earth.”
benefits Khaja Saheb was engaged himself in the remembrance of
14.
The excellence of Sura Fateha and Sura Iqlas
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that Khaja Yousuf Hasan
Chisti wrote in his magazine one saying of the prophet of Allah
that “One who will recite Sura Fateha and Sura Iqlas at the time
47
of sleeping, then he will be waking up among the persons of the

custodian on the day of judgement and he will reach first into the
heaven after the prophets of Allah. At the time of entering into the
paradise he will be finding his place at the nearest of the prophet
Jesus (A.S.).
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion and he said as per
tradition which is reported by Mohammed Arishi that one who
will recite one time Sura Alhamd and three times Sura Iqlas then
he will become free from the sins so he will be as clear as he was
just born from the womb of his mother.
Then he said “ In the book ‘Hadiqa’ it is written, and which
was seen by him a tradition narrated by Abu Hurara and Ibne
Umar that “One who will recite Sura Awuhal Kafirun at the time
of sleeping then 1000 persons will witness in his favour in the
paradise.”
Then, once he told he was present in the service of his master
Haji Saheb and at that time he was seen one pious person in the
mosque of Badakshan and that person was known there as Khaja
Mohammed Badakshani. He was used to be too much busier in
the remembrance of Allah. From him he was heard that “One
who pray two or four Rakats at the time of sunrise, then he will be
rewarded the Hajj and Umra reward (Thawab) in his account of
deeds.” It is mentioned in the saying of the prophet of Allah that
“One who will pray four Rakat at the time of sunrise, which is
very best than giving away of his all wealth on the way of Allah
as charity.”
Upon the above discussion and explaining of the above benefits
Khaja Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of Allah. So
for this reason the well wisher and all other persons left from the
meeting place.
15.
48
The unique graces for the persons of the paradise
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that he was seen in the
book of exegesis of Imam Shafi in the chapter about the paradise
in which it is mentioned that the person asked the prophet about
food provision in the paradise. The prophet told him by swearing
in the name of Allah who made him his prophet that “In paradise
the person will eat his food provision along with him 100
hundred persons there and he will live along with his family
members there.” Then the person asked the prophet upon eating
of the food provisions is there will be answering the call of
nature. The prophet told them that “ Yes, but there will be
discharge of perspiration which will be more scented than musk
and nothing will be remain in the stomach.” In the paradise the
life will become such that there will no death at all there. There
will be youth period always and which will never turn into the
old age period. The dwellers of the paradise will be under the
fresh grace of Allah. There will be an increase of graces of Allah
always on them.
Upon this Khaja Saheb told “One who wants to get all these
graces, then he should recite Sura Iqlas 100 times after the
morning prayer and continue it always then there will be more
graces on him.” When asked by the prophet of Allah is there
possible for the parents and their children to meet each other in
the heaven there?. The prophet told “
Yes, when the parents and the children want to meet each other
then they visit their palaces on the heavenly horses.”
49
16.
The rules of entering the mosque
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that in the saying of the
prophet it is mentioned that one who enter into the mosque, then
he should put his right leg and he would say “
,
“ I have placed my trust in Allah. There is no power and no
might except by Allah. O: Allah, protects me from Satan the
outcast.” Then he should pray for which Allah will reward him of
100 Rakats for each Rakat. Allah will forgive his sins. For his
each step he will be rewarded position in the paradise and in his
name one palace will be constructed there.”
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion and he said “ One who
will go to the mosque. And if he will say ) then the
Satan will be saying that while saying this phrase he was
breaking his waist. So for this reason, in his record of deeds the
reward of one year of worship will be recorded by the angles.
Upon leaving the mosque when he will recite this phrase, then he
will get a reward of 100 good deeds for each and every hair on
his body and in the paradise his position will be upgraded by 100
times.
Khaja Saheb then continued his discussion and he said “
Imam Zaid Wabsi Zinda Rasti was written in his book that one
who will enter into the mosque and will put his right leg in the
mosque then his all sins from the beginning to the end will be
forgiven by Allah.When he will go outside of the mosque and will
put his left leg then the angels will say “Oh : Allah looks at him
and fulfil his desires and wishes and make his perpetual place in
the paradise.”
Khaja Saheb then said “He was seen in the magazine of
50
Khaja Marshi in which it was written that Sufiyan Suri was

entered in the Holy Ka’ba in Makkah without respect of the holy
house and he was putting his left leg instead of the right leg and
for this reason of disrespect his name was becoming famous as
Suri (ox).
benefits the Khaja Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of
17.
The giving away of the wealth and charity
The discussion about the world and accumulation of wealth

was started. Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that the man
should not look at the world and never go near the world and
whatever he will get then he should spend on the way of Allah
and he should not keep with him.
Khaja Saheb told he was heard from the tongue of Khaja
Yousuf Chisti that the thanks of wealth is payment of the charity
and the thanks of the religion of Islam is to say and
one who will say then he will give thanks to the
religion of Islam. One who will pay Zakat (Islamic religious tax)
and charity, then he will fulfil the rights of the wealthy. Then the
discussion about bad habits of the boys was started.
Khaja Saheb said the prophet said that when the children
weep, then the Satan will strut their ears so they then began
weeping. So those parents who beat their children and then the sin
will be written for them. Khaja Saheb said it was mentioned in
the saying of the prophet that small children will not weep unless
51
the Satan will not trouble them. But when the child weep, then
we should say . So in this matter, there is good
news for you that the child will be silent due to recitation of this
supplication.
Then Khaja Saheb said “ It is not good the greediness of the
learned persons especially for the Muslim person. So the learned
persons said that “The greediness should be taken out from the
hearts.” When there will be removed of the greediness of the
heart, then we will be eligible for the paradise.”
Again Khaja Saheb said the greediness of learned persons is
too much. But their greediness is not concerned about the world.
But their greediness is concerned with the thing and if there will
be looked upon it, then there is no damage from it.
18..
Sneeze and rewards of Allah
Khaja Saheb said with his holy tongue that in the saying of
prophet of Allah it is available that if the Muslim person sneezes
and he will say then Allah the most Beneficent and
Merciful will forgive all his sins. In the paradise his position will
be given. In his record of deeds the reward of freeing one slave
will be added. When he will sneeze second time, then Allah will
free his parents from the hell. When he will sneeze third time,
then it should be thinking in this matter that he is suffering from
the cold. Oh: Muslim you should give the reply of the sneeze by
saying and it will expatiate of the sins and it will also
increase the position. The sneeze will work as the veil in between
52
the fire of the hell and 1000 good deeds are recorded in the
account of the deeds and on the day of judgement these things are
placed in the pair of scales and which will become heavier with
the weight than Arsh (empyrean) and Kursi (chair) of Allah.
One who will reply for the sneeze and say one time
then Allah will grant him neighbourhood of the
prophet and also he will get one city in the paradise. Khaja Saheb
then told first time who sneezed was prophet Adam (peace be
upon him). At time angel Gabriel was near him and who said
.
19..
The excellence of Azan (prayer call) and Moazan (one who
shouts the call to prayer)
When the discussion about Azan (prayer call) was started,
then Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that Ali Ibn Abi Taleb
(R.A.) was asked by the prophet of Allah so he told him “ Oh: Ali
one who make prayer call and his reward is known to Allah the
Beneficent and Merciful.” But the prayer is Hujat (argument) for
my Ummat (nation) and its exegesis is that when Momin (faithul)
say then he says like this that he made Allah his
witness, Oh: Ummat of the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon
him) should present in the prayer and leave the dealings of the
world.
When he will say then he will say he made this
phrase and the angels as witness that he was informed them about
the prayer time and there is no big information than this.
When he will say then he will say that he is
53
witnessing that Mohammed (peace be upon) who is the prophet of

Allah. When he will say then he will say, Oh: Ummat
(nation) of prophet Mohammed (peace be upon), he was declared
upon them the religion so they should obey the commands of
Allah and his prophet. Allah will forgive all their sins. Because
the prayer is a pillar of the religion. When he will say he
says Oh: Ummat (nation) of prophet Mohammed (peace be upon
him) that the doors of mercy were opened for them. Stand and
take share from them. Because for them there is paradise in the
both worlds. When he will say then he says he made his
witness Allah and his mercy. Oh: Ummat of prophet Mohammed
(peace be upon him) present in the prayer and leave the dealings
of the world. I have declared this that you should obey Allah and
his prophet’s commands and perform the prayer. So that Allah
will forgive your sins. You should remember in this matter that no
deed is equal with the prayer.
Those who will not perform prayer, then they will be ashamed
in this matter. When one who will say then he will say
that the custody of the world and sky is resting on his necks. One
who will accept this responsibility and try in this matter, then he
will become successful in this respect.”
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further and he said he
was asked by one pious person in Baghdad and who told him to
giving reply of the prayer call is expiation of the sins. One who
will obey Allah and his prophet in the mosque then he will be
proceeding to the heaven with truthful and martyred persons and
he will become the friends of the prophet Dawood (A.S.).
Khaja Junaid of Baghdad wrote in his book ‘Umda’ that for the
answering of prayer call will enable for the intercession of the
mankind on the day of judgement. So the person one who will
hear the prayer call and perform the congregational prayer behind
the Imam (leader) then he will get a reward of 300 Rakat for each
and every Rakat and for each and every Rakat one city will be
54
established for him in the paradise. Khaja Saheb said the prophet
of Allah will not be in the agreed condition with following five
kinds of the persons.
1. The person who lapses the Friday prayers.

2. The person who sells the freed slaves.
3. The person who does trouble with their neighbours.
4. The person who snatches away something illegally from other
persons.
5. The person who does cruelty to their family members.
Khaja Saheb said those who answer the prayer call of
Moazan then angles will request for his forgiveness and convey
Salam to him so he will get salvation without accountability, and
he will be sent to the paradise.
Khaja Saheb said to say Takbir (praise of God, repetition the
words Allahu Akbar) as per his style. Allah is there in between of
your two eyebrows and the place is before your chest so you
should remember that Allah is watching him and his two legs are
on the pathway of the paradise. Think the paradise is on the right
side and the hell is on the left side. It is required to say Allahu
Akber (praise of God) with thinking to recite the Quran and
perform Ruku (bowing in the prayer) with the humility and go
into prostration with modesty and then sit and to recite
supplication of Attahiat in the prayer. So the angles will pray for
his forgiveness till he says Salam at the end of his prayer.
The benefits of legitimate subsistence

Khaja Saheb said to eat legitimate subsistence and wear
legitimate dress and do repentance and do not wear illegal dress.
When one who does like this then one door out of its seven doors
of the heaven will be opened for him and his prayers will be
accepted by Allah.
The benefits of reading of the Quran
55
Khaja Saheb told to read the Quran repeatedly. It is also

expiation of the sins. It is veiled for the fire of the hell. And one
who will busy in the reading of the Quran then for him Allah
will open the doors of the paradise for him. For every fear one
who will read the Quran then Allah will create one angel who
will read glorification (Tasbih) till the day of judgement. Nobody
is not close to Allah as such person, one who will learn the
knowledge and who will read the Quran frequently.
Khaja Saheb said “ It is compulsory for you that you should
read the Quran and learn it. The prophet of Allah said, “ One who
reads one verse out of the Quran and which is better than a good
deed. And when he will be dying, then for the friendship of the
reading of the Quran will be left in his heart and so he will enter
into the ear of the angel in the shape of the good deed. The angel
will bring for him one tangerine from the paradise and ask him
to read and that person will say that he did not read in the world.
But the angel will say read, this orange is sent to you as a gift
from Allah. Then when one who will recite the Quran from the
beginning to the end, then the angel will say there will be no
punishment of the grave and on the day of judgment for you and
you will be in the neighbourhood of the prophets of Allah.
20.
Who is Momin (believer).?
When the discussion about Momin was started Khaja Saheb

told by his tongue that Momin is that person one who is friend of
the following three things.
1. Death
56
2. Darweshi
3. Fateha
So one who will become a friend of the above three things, then
the angels will become his friend and he will be given the reward
in the paradise. Khaja Saheb said “Allah keeps Darwesh as his
friends. The Momin persons belong to the friends of Allah.
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further and he said
“Anas bin Malik says one who possess 8,000 Dirhams with him,
then he will become wealthier person and others who possess an
amount less than the above amount then he will be called
Darwesh person. Those who possess no amount with them, then
they should give thanks to Allah day and night. And then they
will get the status of prophet Ayub (A.S.).
The person who deserved the mercy of Allah
Khaja Saheb said he heard by the tongue of the Maudaud
Chisti that Allah will look three groups with the look of his
mercy and they will be under the shadow of His Arsh (empyrean).
1. The people who always have courage with them.
2. Those who keep happy the neighbours and women.
3. Those who fed the Darwesh and indigent persons.
Khaja Saheb told the prophet of Allah said, “ The prayer is
best and on the second position is charity. And on the third
position is reading of the Quran.So one who will follow and try
for the above things, then he will belong to my Ummat (nation)
and he will be rewarded the paradise.”
Khaja Saheb said Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (R.A.) told that
prophet of Allah was discussed too much about the neighbouring
persons so there was doubt which came into his mind so he was
asked the prophet of Allah whether on the death of the neighbour
his neighbour can become his heir in his properties or not?. The
prophet said “Yes, if there will be no heirs will be there. ”
Khaja Saheb said the prophet of Allah said that “One who
57
behave well with great kindness with the neighbour, then if

Allah wills he will be with me and he will get the reward of the
paradise.”
21.
The fulfillment of the desires of Momin (believer) persons
Khaja Saheb told by holy tongue that Allah will be happy with
that Momin person, one who will fulfil the needs of the Momin
person. He gets his reward of the paradise. On who will respect
the Momin person then he will be getting a position in the
paradise. Allah will forgive all his sins. If somebody will set the
footwear of the other person or he will take out thorn from the
leg of the other Momin person then Allah will include him among
the truthful and martyr persons.
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further and he said some
categories of the Mashaiq (learned) persons said “ If suppose any
person is busy in the recitals or in the worship and at that time if
any needy person will come there and wants to meet him so it is
compulsory for him to leave all his engagements and he should
attend his work. In this matter try his level best to help him. There
is one saying of the prophet of Allah is that “ One who will fulfil
his Momin brother’s need, then Allah will fulfil his needs of this
world and the other world. On the day of judgement he will be
sent to the paradise and he will become the neighbour of the
prophet Adam (peace be upon him). ”
benefits Khaja Saheb engaged himself in the invocation. So for
this reason the well wisher and all other persons left from the
meeting place.
58
22.
The signs of the last days of the world
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that the prophet of

Allah said, “When the last days of the world will come then the
learned persons will be beaten like thieves and the learned persons
will be called Munafiq (hypocratic) persons and the Munafiq
persons will be called as the learned persons.”
Again Khaja Saheb told “ One who will learn knowledge, then
Allah will command to include his name on the topmost list of the
pious persons of Allah.”
There are two kinds of infidelity
Khaja Saheb told “ As per the tradition of the prophet narrated

by Ibn Abbas that infidelity, faith (Iman), Nifaq (difference) and
knowledge all these have two kinds. There are two kinds of
infidelity which are as follows.
1. The infidelity which is done against the graces of Allah. For
example, not to pray with a congregation in the mosques, not to
benefit the person suffering from diseases and the Muslim. But
for these things nobody will not go away from the Iman (faith).
2. To go away from the faith and leave the things of obligation
and for these matters he will be gone away from the faith.
There are two kinds of Iman (faith)
1. The Iman of infidel persons. Those who will accept faith on

the tongues, but they will have doubt in their hearts. This is a
work of infidel persons.
2. The special faith (Iman) which the Momin persons certify by
their tongues and hearts. Such type of Iman (faith) will be
available to the pious persons by their luck and it is not available
to other persons.

There are two kinds of religion of Islam.
1. When one should busy in the worship of Allah then he should

not have doubts in this matter. When one who would prostrate to
Allah, then he should think Him one from his tongue and heart.
So this is called pure Islamic religion.
2. In which one who will say by his tongue that he is Muslim

person, but he will keep infidelity in his heart. There will be no
fear for him about what will be happening to the religion and
what shame he will face in this matter.
He should say whatever is there on his tongue and to live
among the person with the witnessing of and such person
will be kept away from the hell.
There are two kinds of Nifaq (hypocrisy)
1.One who will accept Haram (illegitimate), halal (legitimate),

Amar (command) and Nahi (prohibition) and he will engage in
the sins and do bad deeds, but he used to keep hope and fear and
repentance from Allah and also he used to hope that Allah knows
him as a sinner.
2. One who will accept Haram (illegitimate), halal (legitimate),
Amar (command) and Nahi (prohibition) by his heart and think in
his heart that prayer, fasting, Zakat (Islamic religious tax) are acts
and if he will do these acts then he will get reward of these things.
These acts belongs to Nifaq (hypocrisy) and its reward is the
punishment of the hell.
There are two kinds of knowledge
1. The special knowledge which should be getting for the sake

60
of Allah.
2. The general knowledge. If one person who will hear one phrase
of knowledge which is better than the worship of one year. If one
who sits in a place where there will be discussion about
knowledge then he will be getting a reward of freeing one slave
in this matter. The knowledge is a guide for the blind people
towards the paradise. Allah, the Most Beneficent and Merciful
will not destroy the knowledge in both of the worlds.
There are two kinds of deeds.

1. The deeds which are done for Allah, and these are called the
special deeds.
2. The deeds which are done for show of the other persons and
there is no reward for these acts and doing such things is not
good.
23.
The death and remembrance of the prophets of Allah.
Khaja Saheb said with his holy tongue that the prophet of
Allah said, “ The remembrance of the death is better than
standing in the worship of the day and night and the other extra
worships.” Khaja Saheb again said “ Among ascetic (Zahid)
persons best asectic person is one who will keep remember about
his death. He should always busy for the preparation of the works
of the grave, then he will look at the green lawn of the heaven in
the grave.”
Khaja Saheb again said “ One who will remember prophet
Adam (A.S.) among the prophets, and then he should recite three
times “Salwat Allah Alayhe” then Allah will forgive all his sins if
61
they are more than the river and he will be in the neighbourhood
of prophet Ayub (A.S.). One who will remember prophet Dawood
(A.S.) and then he should recite three times “Salwat Allah
Alayhe” on him, then he can enter into the heaven from any door,
whichever he likes.” Khaja Saheb again said “ For the sake of
remembrance of the prophets, Allah will prohibit the fire of the
hell on his Hift Andam it means the seven outer portions of his
body like head, chest, belly and four limbs.”
24.
The sending of the lamp to the mosque
The discussion about sending the lamp to the mosque was

started. Khaja Saheb said with his holy tongue that Hazrat Ali Ibn
Taleb (R.A.) said “One who will send the lamp to the mosque for
one night, then his one year’s sins are forgiven by Allah and one
year’s good deeds are recorded in his record of the deeds and in
the paradise one city will be constructed for him there.”
One who will send the lamp to the mosque for a period of one
month continuously, then from the command of Allah all doors of
the paradise will be opened for him and he can enter into it from
any of the doors which ever he likes. Before his death he can see
his place in the heaven. He will become a friend of the last
prophet of Allah.
Khaja Saheb said again “ He was heard by the holy tongue of
Khaja Yousuf Chisti that “One who will send the lamp to the
mosque and when there will be its light there, then all angles will
pray for his forgiveness and it is called Hamlatal Arsh (assault of
the empyrean).”
25..
62
The feeding of the Darwesh persons
The discussion about Darwesh persons was started. He was told

by his holy tongue that the prophet of Allah said “Those people
who will feed the Darwesh persons, then they will become free
from all his sins.”
Who has been deprived from the heaven.?
He said “ There are three kinds of persons who will not come
towards the paradise.”
1. When the Darwesh persons will speak the lies.
2. When the wealthy persons will become miserly.
3. When the merchants will involve in the embezzlement.
For the above reasons they will be given severe punishment in

this matter. When the Darwesh persons will become liars and the
wealthy persons will become miserly and the businessman will
involve in the embezzlement, then Allah will take away blessing
from the world.
Khaja Saheb said “ One who will recite the following after
every prayer, day and night one time of Sura Yasin and Ayatul
Kursi one time and Sura Qul Walhu Ahad three times then Allah
will increase his age and his wealth. On the day of judgement he
will find easiness on the pathway of the paradise and at the place
of accountability.
26.
The lengthening of the edges of the Salwars
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue a tradition of the holy

prophet of Allah narrated by Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.) that
63
‘”One who will increase in length of the legs of a pair of the

Salwar (a pair of light, loose trousers with a tight fit around the
ankles; worn by men and women from the Indian subcontinent) is
the sign of the Manfiaq (hypocrite) persons.”
One who will increase in length of the legs of a pair of the
Salwar and he will increase it up to the legs, then such person is
a disobedient of Allah and his prophet.
Khaja Saheb again said “ One who will increase in length too
much the legs of a pair of the Salwar and it will hang under the
leg, then the angels of the sky and earth send disgrace on him. In
lieu of the each hair on the body of that person one house will be
constructed for him in the hell. And Abu Hurara said “One who
tie long Tahband (sheet used as a garment for lower part of the
body) he is Munafiq (hypocrite) person. Khaja Saheb again said, “
There will be disgraced on the two groups of persons which are as
follows.
1. One who wears long sleeves.
2. One who wears long legs of a pair of the Salwar.
There should be no extravagance to wear clothes on the body.
Because the prophet even prohibited for the extra coffin cloth for
the dead person. There will be punishment for the following two
things.
1. For the excess of the coffin cloth.
2. For lengthen the legs of a pair of the Salwar
27.
The helplessness of the learned persons in the last days of the
world
Upon the discussion about the learned persons Khaja Saheb

said with his holy tongue that “ In the last days of the world the
wealthy persons will become stronger and the learned person will
64
work hard and face much difficulty to earn a livelihood. There

will be riots in the world. On the earth and on the mountains
there will be difficulties and problems for happy social life for
them.”
Khaja Saheb told again that “The wealthy persons will become
very strong and the learned person will become helpless. Then at
that time Allah will take out blessing from the mankind. The cities
will be deserted at that time. Also, there will be rioting in the
religion. So you should remember that these people will be
belong to the hell.
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion further about charity
and he said to pay charity to such person one who will keep host
the darwesh persons. Then he will get the reward of ten times. For
giving charity to nearest relatives, then there will be getting a
reward of 1000 times. So it is compulsory for the man to offer his
charity in that way which will bring the pleasure of Allah.
Allah. So for this reason the well wisher and all other persons
28.
It is obligated for the repentant
Khaja Saheb continued his discussion and he said there is a
command in the holy book of Quran “

Oh: the people of faith do repent and come back towards Allah as
He will accept your repentance.”
Khaja Saheb again said that he was seen in the book ‘Hadiqa’
that it is an obligation for the Muslim persons for the repentant.
Khaja Saheb again said “When prophet Adam (A.S.) was
arrived in the world and he was requested in the court of Allah
65
and he said “ Oh: Lord of the worlds you have posted the Satan
upon him. And he does not have the power to prohibit him. There
is a command from Your side that due to Your divine help which
will protect him and his children then he will never have gotten
control upon them.”
The End.

Preface
This is a very old book written by the great Sufi Saint Hazrat
Khaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki Oushi about the speeches
(Malfuzat) of advices and discourses of his spiritual master
Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti and which was translated from
Persian into Urdu language and the first time I was translating
this book into English.
This translation of the most ancient and celebrated Persian
magazine on Sufi’ism will, I hope, be found useful not only by the
number of students familiar with the subject at first hand, but also
by many readers.
This is a small book in which there are advises and
instructions, especially available for Taleb (student) and it refers
to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a
Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik
(Arabic: ‫)َس اِلك‬, a mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy
of Sufism and all these details of advices by the spiritual master
Khaja Moinuddin Chisti and are added in this book by great
Sufi Saint Khaja Qutubuddin Baktiar Kaki Oushi And also in this
book there are some great achievements which are not yet known
to the general person are published in a very interesting style so
for this reason the readers will find great interest and attention in
this matter.
reading this magazine’s first page and will not stop its reading till
they will reach its last page as in this magazine some interesting
events and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of holy
saint are added and this holy saint to have passed away from the
world some 800 years ago.

‘Muslim saints and Mystics’ (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al din
its literature. The aim of this magazine is to present in the
Western world where there is great search and demand of the
books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who lived and
spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation of
Islamic religion in all corners of the world as per tradition and
practice of Allah’s last prophet.
To write about this great author is not only it is difficult and but
it is very hard task as he was not only a great pious personality of
his time in India, but he was also a great author of several books
including Dalil al-Arifin, in he which deal with the Islamic code
of living.
So in brief he was a great Saint of his time in the Indian sub-
continent and who did many great endeavours for the preaching
and propagation of Islam in Delhi city upon becoming the
caliph of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti Ajmeri and he did the
endeavours for the Islamic mission with the hopes of its
expansion to other adjoining and distant territories and there was
no such personality during his time.
from Urdu to English, so I request the readers to read this book
69
In the preface of the book ‘Tadhikra Awliya’ (Muslim Saints &

Mystics), Attar mentions three books which he recommends for
The Dalail Arifian by Khaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki

70
This is magazine of affliction and in its manuscript

available the speeches of the king of Mashaiq (learned persons),
the ruler of the Salikin (mystic persons), the leader of the pious
persons, and the Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of
the pious persons, the sun of Fakirs (Darwesh persons), a seal of
the Mujtahadin (One who has thorough knowledge and
experience of law), the helper of the Ummat (nation) and the
religion, Sheikh Khaja Moinuddin Chisti and whose advises and
discourses collected and presented in this magazine, which is
named as ‘Dalil Arifin’ and it is divided into four parts.
1. Fakhr (indigence) and its reward
2. Letters and Tasbih (glorification)
3. The recitals
4. Sulook (mystic initiation) and its benefits
1.
The indigence and its rewards
On the 5th Rajab in the year 514 Hegira, this Darwesh and
weak person Qutubuddin who belonged to the slave to the King
of Mashaiq (learned) persons and the Sultan of Salikin (mystic
persons) Khaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisti.
When this slave was getting the chance of kissing the feet of
the sky and ability Sheikh Khaja Haruni in the mosque of Abu
Lais Samar Qandi in Baghdad. The Sheikh was kind enough with
me and honoured to accept my pledge (Bait) there and he was also
kind enough with me and put on my head the four ends Turkey
cap and on that day Sheikh Shabuddin Mohammed Saherwardi,
Sheikh Dawood Kirmani, Sheikh Burhanuddin, Mohammed
Chisti, Sheikh Tajuddin Mohammed Safhani were present there in
the meeting. The discussion about prayer was in progress. The
Sheikh told by his tongue that in the prayer only one can become
71
closer to Allah.
So prayer is called the Meraj (accession) by the Muslims.
Which is available in the saying of the prophet of Allah. “ Alsalt
meraj al-Muslimin.” And its status is more than all other things.
The meeting of Allah starts with the prayer. Then Shiekh told
prayer is secret matter which the person disclose with Allah. The
disclose of the secret in which it is required the closeness of the
somebody. That person who will get closeness and who is
eligible for the secret. This secret could not obtain without the
prayer.
There is saying of the prophet of Allah “ Almusalli Neji
rabbahu ” it means one who pray, then he will disclose his secret
with Allah. Upon this Sheikh addressed to me and he said “
When he was become the disciple of Sheikh Khaja Haruni and he
was in his service for a period of 8 years without taking any rest
in this matter and he never used to see day and night. When he
used to travel with his Sheikh then he used to carry the sleeping
clothes and the tiffin basket and accompanied with him. When he
realized my service, then he was awarded me such grace and
there is no limit on it. ”
To follow the instructions of the (Pir) spiritual master
Then Sheikh told whatever he got by his service of the spiritual

master only. So it is compulsory for the disciple that he should
follow the instructions of the Pir and he should not exceed in this
matter. Whatever instructions were given in this matter about
prayer, glorification and daily recitals, then he should hear the
instructions carefully and should act upon these instructions so
that he could get position in this matter. Because the work of the
spiritual master (Murshid) is used to adorn the disciple.
Whatever the master will say will help the disciple to enable him
to get perfection in this matter.
72
Who has been deprived of the intercession
Khaja Saheb afterward said that in the book of exegesis of Abu

Lais Samarqandi it is mentioned that daily two angels are sent
down from the sky. One who stands on the top of the Ka’aba and
who will call “Oh: the persons and fairies listen and understand
well that one who will not fulfil the duties of Allah then he will
not be free from the rights of Allah.” The second angel will stand
in the pulpit of the last prophet of Allah and he will call “ Oh: the
men and fairies, to know well that one who will not follow the
practice of the prophet and exceed in this matter, then he will not
be eligible for the intercession.”
The washing of the fingers at the time of ablution is as per

Sunnah
Afterwards he said that he was present in the mosque of Kikri

in Baghdad among the pious persons. There was discussion of
washing of the fingers at the time of ablution was in progress and
he said it is as per practice of the prophet of Allah. Because it was
available in the saying of the prophet that he was asked for the
washing of fingers at the time of ablution. But one who did
washing of the fingers at the time of Abdust (water for washing
anus and hands after evacuation) then Allah will be kept free his
fingers due to the intercession.
Again Sheikh said once he was with Ajal Sherazi in some
place. The time of prayer of Maghrib (sunset) was started. Khaja
Saheb was started doing fresh ablution. By chance he was
forgetting the washing of the fingers. So by invisible source an
angel gave a divine call in which it was said “ Oh :Ajal, you are
claimant of the friend of our Mohammed (peace be upon him) and
belongs his Ummat (nation) but you are leaving his Sunnah
(practice).” Upon this Khaja Saheb was sworn and he was told “
73
From that time till his death he will not leave any Sunnah
(practice) of the prophet.”
Upon this Sheikh said once he was finding Khaja Ajal Shirazi
in the condition of hesitation and asked him in this matter so he
said “One day when he was ignored the washing of his fingers
and due to this mistake from that time, then he is in the condition
of worry and upset that how he will face the prophet of Allah on
the day of judgement.”
Afterwards he said in the book ‘Salwat Masoodi’ a tradition
mentioned as per narrated by Abu Hurara in Fiqa (Islamic law)
of Sunnah it is available that the washing of every part three
times is according to the practice (Sunnah) of the prophet of
Allah. As per saying of the prophet of Allah “The washing of
every part three times is my Sunnah and this is also Sunnah of the
previous prophets of Allah. To add more on this is injustice.”
Upon this he said “ Khaja Fazil Ayaz while at the time of
ablution washed his hands two times only and then he was
praying. On that night he was seen the last prophet of Allah in his
dream and who said “ He was surprised to see that there was a
defect which is left in his ablution.” So he was waking up due to
too much fear in this matter. So he was made fresh ablution and
prayed again. Due to expiation of this mistake he was prayed
daily 500 Rakats (one Rakat is equal to one set of standing,
genuflexion and prostration) for a period of one year as a recital.
The benefits of sleeping with ablution
Then he said Arif (mystic) persons are belong to the persons

of grace. They used to drown in the love of the friend. He writes
in his Sharah (exegesis) that one who sleeps in the night with
ablution then there will be command of Allah to the angels to be
with him. Till morning they will pray “ Oh: Allah forgives that
person as he was sleeping with cleanliness.”
He said again in this matter that in the Sharah (exegesis) of
74
Arif persons it is mentioned that when a person sleep with

cleanliness then the angles take his soul under the empyrean of
Allah. And there will command “ To wear it the robe of light.”
When it will prostrate there, then there will be commanded to take
back the soul from there. Because he is a pious person as he was
sleeping with ablution.”
One who sleeps without cleanliness then his soul will be
returned back from the first sky and it is said there “ This person
is not eligible so the angels will not take his soul to the upper side
as this type of person is not eligible to prostrate before Allah.”
Then he told by his holy tongue that Faqhia wrote that the
prophet of Allah said, “ Al-Yamim Lil kul akal Wal wajha yasar
magad” and its translation is “The right hand is for the eating food
and washing of the face of the body and the left hand is for
Istanja.”(Cleaning after a natural evacuation)
Then the discussion started about how one person should enter
into the mosque, and then, according to the Sunnah of the
prophet, the person should put his right leg first in the mosque
there and when he will go out of the mosque then he should put
his left leg out of the mosque.”
Upon this he said once Sufiyan Suri was entered in the mosque
and by mistake he put his left leg in the mosque first. So there was
a divine call in which it heard “ Oh: ox this is not the proper way
to enter the house of Allah ”and from that day he was become
famous with name of Khaja Sufiyan Suri.
The reality of Arif (mystic)
Afterwards the discussion about the Arif person was started.

He said Arif is such person who knows all about the worlds and
with his wisdom he can create more than 100,000 meanings and
he can explain in this matter. He can reply about all things
relating to the significance of the love. He will swim in the sea
of innermost and wisdom so that he can take out from there the
75
pearls of secret of Allah and the light of Allah and to present there
to hard working jewelers. So that when they see these things and
like them. So this is an Arif person without any doubt.
After this, on this situation he said Arif person will be always
busy in the zeal of love and he will live in condition of surprise by
the divine power of creation. And if he will stay, then also he will
be in the condition of thinking about the friend and if he will sit
then he will remember his friend. If he will sleep then also he will
be in the condition of surprise due to thinking of his friend. If he
will wake then he will Tawaf (circummubaltion) around the veil
of the greatness of the friend.
The blessing of the prayers of Israqh (mid-morning)
Then he said the persons of love when they performed the

morning prayer, then they used to sit on the prayer mats waiting
for the sunrise so that they wanted to be accepted by their friend
and so that there should be graced with celestial illumination
(Tajalli-e-Ilahi) on them.
Again Sheikh said “When one person who will perform the
morning prayer and waits there on the prayer mat, then there will
command to the angel to come near him and to pray for him till
he will not leave from there.”
In this situation he said in the book “Umda” Khaja Junaid of
Baghdad wrote which is sign of secret of Allah that when the
prophet of Allah saw the Satan in grief condition and he was
asked him the reason in this matter.” He told him there will be
four groups among his Ummat (nation).
1.Moazan, who shouts the prayer call (Azan).
For this reason one who shouts it and one who hear it and who
will busy in replying the phrases of the Azan. So all who shout
and hear it, will be forgiven by Allah.
2. The one who left the house for Jehad (religious war) and when
they will say Allah Akber (Allah is great) and with the sound of
76
their hoofs of their horses and when they will fight then there will
be a command for forgiveness for such persons along with their
family members.
3. The group who earns their livelihood with the legal source. The
Darwesh person who spends their lives by earning of livelihood
by legal means and also maintaining others by such income then
Allah will forgive them.
4. This group who will sit on the prayer mat after performing the
morning till the time of sunrise. Then they will perform the Israqh
(mid-morning) prayer.
Then Satan said “ Oh: the prophet of Allah, that day when he
was in the angelic world and he was seen there and it was
written on the tablet that one who will busy in the worship of
Allah after the morning prayer and after this then he will perform
the Israqh prayer then Allah will forgive him along with 70,000
his relatives and he will be freed from the hell.”
Afterwards this he said “ He was seen in the book ‘Fiqa Akbar’
a tradition narrated by Imam Abu Hanifa Kofi that one coffin
thief who was engaged in this work for a period of 40 years and
he was dying at last and he was seen in the dream that he was
walking in the paradise. When he asked the reason in this matter
and he told that “He was having one habit with him that he used
to perform the morning prayer and he used to sit there in the
remembrance of Allah till the sunrise time and then he used to
perform the Israqh prayer. As Allah is used to accept small things
and He used to giver of many things and for this blessing Allah
forgave him. He was ignored my deeds, but he was giving me
such a great status.”
On this situation he was told “ When Arif person will be in that

condition then he will be busy with that thing, then at that time if
there will be present many 1000 angels, Jinns and strange things
before him but he will not look at them. He will look at such
things which were sent down to him. One sign of Arif person is
77
that he will remain in the condition of smile always. When he

will smile, then he can see the trusted angles in the angelic world
there. So whatever discloses from them will be the reason of his
smile in this matter.
After this he said “ In Irfan (intimate knowledge of Allah)
there is a condition and when such condition will prevail upon
him, then in one step he will cover the distance between the
empyrean and the veil of greatness and from there he will reach to
the veil of magnificence and upon this in the next step he will
come back to his previous place.”
Then Khaja Sahib was weeping and has tears in the eyes
and he said this is the lowest rank of Arif persons.
But those who are perfect persons, then their position is only
known by Allah and up to where they can go and where they will
reach and when they did come back from there is not known.
2.
Janabat (pollution resulting from the coition) and cleanliness
On the Thursday the wealth of the kissing of the feet of the

Sheikh was available to me. At that time the discussion about
Janabat (pollution from coition) was in progress in the meeting.
Moulana Mohammed Bahauddin Bukhari and Moulana
Shabuddin of Baghdad were present in the service of the Sheikh.
Khaja Saheb said with his holy tongue that there is Janabat inside
of the every hair of the person. So it is compulsory that the water
should be provided inside of the hair where there is coition, so
that the hairs should get wet in this matter. If any hair is left
without water, then it will fight with him on the day of judgement.
Khaja Saheb said he was seeing in the book ‘Fatwa Zahiria’
that the mouth of man is used to live clean during the condition of
Janabat and when he will drink the water or other things then
those things will not become impure for this reason. In the
following conditions the mouth of a person will remain pure.
78
1. Junbi (the person in the condition of the pollution from

coition)
2. Haze (mensuration course)
3. Momin (faithful) person
4. Infidel person
In this connection he said “ Once the prophet of Allah was
sitting then at that time one companion stood and asked him “ Oh:
prophet of Allah, if one person who will be in the condition of
Junbi (coition) and if there will be winds of heat and due to this
reason by sweat the dress will become wet and in this case the
dress will become un-clean or not.? He said “No” it will not
become un-clean. Upon this condition his mouth will also
remain pure for both the Muslim or infidel person, and if saliva
will touch with the cloth, then the cloth will not become un-clean.
After this, on this topic he said “ He was heard by Sheikh
Khaja Haruni that when prophet Adam (A.S.) came into the
world from the heaven and upon getting the chance of intercourse
with Eve, then the angel Gabriel came over there and told him “
To stand and have a bath.” So he was happy in this matter and
told brother Gabriel is there reward for it.? He gets a reply that “
For every hair of the body you will get a reward of worship of one
year and for each and every drop of the water, which will touch
your body and from each drop Allah will create one angel who
will engage in the worship of Allah till the day of judgement and
such reward will be transferred into your account of deeds.”
The prophet Adam (A.S.) asked “Brother Gabriel whether
there is a reward available to him and also available to his
children,?” He gets a reply that “Those who will be Momin
(faithful) persons and will perform the legal bath so, according
to the hairs of his body the worship of the number of such years
will be recorded in his account of the deeds. Those drops of water,
which will fall from his body and for such each and every drop of
the water one angel will be created by Allah who will be engaged
in the Tasbhi (glorification) and Tahlil
79
(Declaration of God’s unity by pronouncing) of Allah till the day

of judgment and all such rewards will be recorded in the account
of the deed of Mumin (faithful) persons.”
When Khaja Saheb ended this discussion than he was weeping
and has tears in his eyes and he said all these benefits and rewards
are available to those who will perform legal bath only. One who
will perform illegal, but then for his every hair one year of bad
deeds are recorded in his account of deeds. And for every drop of
water of his bath one Satan will be created and all bad deeds done
by all Satans will be recorded in the deeds of account of that
person.
The Islamic law (Sharia), Tariqat (mystic way) and Haqiqat

(truth)
Khaja Saheb said “ The state of the person who follow Sharia
(Islamic law) of Islam is that he should follow it firmly and also
follow all orders in this matter. In following this he should not
exceed single thing in this matter so, then most of them will reach
other position which is called Tariqat (mystic way) and after this
they will used to follow it with all these conditions firmly. They
used to follow all instruction of Sharia (Islamic law) without
leaving anything in this matter and follow the Islamic law
(sharia) completely. So for this reason they will reach to the
position of Marafat (knowledge of Allah). When they will reach
the position of Marafat then the place of identification and
friendship will come there. When they will be firm on this
position, then they will be reached to the position of Haqiqat
(truth) and when they will reach on this position then they can get
whatever as per their demand.
Then Khaja Saheb said “ He was heard the definition of Arif
is that person one who will disconnect with the both worlds and
then he should reach towards the position of incomparable.
Because this way is adopted by such a person who is un-related
80
from all things.

On this occasion he said the prayer (Namaz) is Amanat
(custody) which is handed over by Allah to his slaves. So there
should be no deflection in this matter.
The acceptance and non-acceptance of the prayer
Khaja Saheb said “In the prayer man should perform Ruku
(genuflexion) and prostration properly and follow and take care of
all fundamentals of the faith of the prayer completely. He said “
He was seen in the book ‘Salat Masoodi’ that when the people
perform the prayer in the proper manner and fulfil its rights and
also follow the below things.
 Ruku (genuflexion)
 Prostration
 Qirat (recitation of the Quran)
 Glorification of Allah
Then the angels will take the prayers to the sky and from that
prayer there will be lights and the doors of the sky will be opened
there. When that prayer will be brought down from empyrean
then there will be commanded “ To forgive to the person of
prostration and prayer. Because he was fulfilling the rights
properly.” Then he wept and has tears in the eyes of the Khaja
Saheb and he said “ This is about the persons who was fulfilled
the rights of the prayer. But those people who do not care about
the fundamentals of the prayer, then the angels will take their
prayer in the sky, then the doors of the sky will not be opened
there and there will be commanded to take back the prayer and
put back on the face of the person who was performing such
prayer.” The prayer (Namaz) will say by her tongue to that
person “ As you have spoiled me then Allah will spoil you.”
On this occasion he said once he was in between of the persons
of the turbans in Bukhara and from them, he was heard one
81
tradition there that once the prophet of Allah saw a person who
was not performing the rights of genuflexion and prostration in
the prayer. When he was finished the prayer, he asked him for
how many years he was performing the prayer.? He said “He was
performing the prayer like this since 40 years of time.” He said to
him, “ Since 40 years you have not performed any prayer and if
you die then not according to my Sunnah.”
He said “ He was heard by the tongue of Khaja Usman
Haruni that on the day of judgement first there will checking of
account of prayers with the prophets, pious persons, and the
Muslims. One who will not be successful in this account then he
will be sent to the hell from there for the punishment.”
He said “ This is event was happening at that time once he
was in the city which is near of Damascus and its name was
removed from his memory. There was one cave which was
situated out of that city and in which one pious person Ohud
Mohamed Abdul Wahed Ghaznavi was used to reside there and
on his body there was skin was left there. He was sitting there on
the prayer mat and two tigers were also sitting with him there.
Due to fear of the tigers I could not go near him there. When his
look was falling on me then he asked me to proceed into the cave
there. When I entered there and I was paid respect to him and sat
there.
The first thing that a pious person told me that “If you do not
have any intention for something, then it will also not do any
intention about him.” “What is the personality of the tiger that,
do you afraid of him.” Then he said “When there will be fear of
Allah in your heart, then all will be afraid of you. What is the
reality of the tiger. Then he will not afraid of the persons.”
He explained many such matters and he was asking me from
where he was coming there. I told him that he was coming from
Baghdad. He welcomed me there on my arrival, but he said “It is
compulsory for me to do the service of the Darwesh persons so
that I should become the pious one.” But you heard that he lived
82
in that cave for many years and he is living there in loneliness and
away from the mankind. But since 30 years, he is weeping for one
reason. For this reason he is weeping day and night. So he asked
“What is that.?” He said “When he will perform the prayer, then
he will weep while looking himself that if there will be a small
error in the prayer then all will be spoiled. So at that time of the
prayer for not fulfilling its condition then the prayer will be
returned back and thrown on his face. So oh: Darwesh if you will
be successful in the performance of the prayer, then actually you
will be doing a great work. Otherwise, you will spoil your whole
life.” Then he was stating the saying of the prophet. The prophet
of Allah said, “ In the nearness of Allah, no sin and no enemy is
not greater on the day of judgement than not performing the
prayer as per its requirements and conditions.”
Upon this Khaja was weeping and was tears in his eyes and
he said “ Oh: Darwesh, Namaz (prayer) is a pillar of the religion
of Islam. This fundamental is like a pillar so when there will
available pillar, then they're available wall in the house. When
there will no pillar, then the roof of the house will fall down. As
for the religion and Islam it is like a pillar and when there will be
obstructions in the following fundamentals of the prayer
 Farad (obligation)
 Sunnah (practice of the prophet)
 Ruku (bowing the prayer)
 Prostration
then the reality of Islam and religion will be spoiled for these
reasons in this matter.
A tradition of Imam Jafer Sadiq
On this occasion he said “There is a tradition narrated by

Imam Jafer Sadiq that he said in the Quran there are many
advices from Allah. Such advices are available in the following
83
types.
1.Madh (eulogy)
2.Targib (temptation)
3.Tarhib (fear)
The above are available in 700 places in the holy book of
Quran about the performing of prayer because it is a pillar of the
religion. In the exegesis of the Quran it is mentioned that on the
day of judgement in 50 places there will be asked different
questions by every man. In the first place there will be questions
about the prayer which is as follows.
1. Iman (faith) and its conditions

2. Sifat (attributes) and Identification of Allah
If the person will not give the small information on this

matter, then from there he will be sent directly to the hell. In the
second place there will be questions about the prayer and its
obligations and if the man will answer correctly then there will no
problem for him, but if he could not reply then he will be sent
from there directly to hell.
In the third place there will be questions about the prophet, if
he will reply correctly, then he will be released from there
otherwise he will be sent through the counsel (Wakil) to the last
holy prophet of Allah and he will inform him that he is among
your Ummat (nation) but he was negligent in following your
Sunnah (practice).
Upon explaining the above benefits he began weeping and he
said the following phrases from his holy tongue. “There is regret
for such person who will be ashamed with the prophet of Allah,
then where he will go?.”
84
3.
The delay in performing the prayer
On the Wednesday I was honoured of kissing the feet of the

Sheikh and at that time six Darwesh persons from Samarqand
were present in the service of the Sheikh there. Maulana Bukhari
was also present there who was used to be present in the service
of the Sheikh. Then Sheikh Ahud Kirmani also came there and he
sat there. There was discussion in progress about the very much
delay in performing the obligatory prayer that the time should be
lapsed and Qaza (lapsed) prayer should be performed. So for this
reason there will be very much regret of 20,000 percent of such
persons of the faith. He was told by his holy tongue that “How
such Muslim persons are they?, and who used to delay in
performing the prayer so for this reason the time is going to be
lapsed for the prayer.”
The prayer of the persons of fondness
After this Sheikh said he was passed from a city where there
was a tradition that the people of that place used to be ready for
the prayer before its scheduled time. So there he was asked “What
is reason of wisdom in this matter that you all people used to be
ready for the prayer before its schedule time of the prayer.?” They
said “The reason for it is that when the time come they will
perform it. If there will no preparation in this matter, then the
time of the schedule of the prayer will be lapsed. Then in that
condition how they face the prophet of Allah.? Because in the
saying of the Allah’s prophet it is available that “Ajlu taoub
qabal maut wa alju salat qabal faut.” And its meaning and
interpretation is that make the haste for the repentance before
the death and haste for the prayer before the death comes.”
The performance of two prayers together

85
After this Sheikh said he was seen in the mausoleum of Imam

Yahiah Zandaousi in Wasa in which it was written and he was
heard from Maulana Husamuddin Bukhari who was my teacher
and the saying of the Allah’s prophet “ Min Akbar caviar Jama
biennial sale”. Its meaning and its interpretation is, that “It is a
great sin to delay in performing the obligatory prayer and due to
this reason the time of the prayer will be lapsed. Then two prayers
will be performed together for this reason.”
The prayer of the hypocrite person
Upon this Sheikh said he was in the presence of Khaja Haruni

and from him, he was hearing the saying of the prophet which is
narrated by Abu Haraira. The prophet of Allah said, “ Will I you
show the prayer of the infidel persons?”. The persons asked him
to explain then he said “ One who will delay very much in
performing Asr (late afternoon) prayer when there will come
difference in the light of the sun and its colour will become like
yellow.” Then they requested to fix the time. He said “ It's right
time is that the sun should not change its original colour its
means, its colour should not become yellow and in the winter
and summer seasons this order will be workable.”
The correct timings of the prayers
Afterwards Sheikh said “He was seen in the book ‘Fiqa

Hadaya’ the hand written book by Khaja Usman Haruni the
saying of Allah’s last prophet which is as follows.
“ Asfar bil fajar la azam bil ajar.” It means to perform the
morning prayer in the whiteness of the day and for this there will
be more reward for it. As per the tradition of the prophet “For
the performing the Zuhar (afternoon) prayer there should be such
delay in this matter that the air should become cold. In the winter
86
season it should be performed when the shadow will be declined.

So there is saying of the prophet of Allah is available in this
matter which is mentioned as follows.
“Ab daru bil zahar fan shida al har min fe jahanum.” It means
in the summer season the Zuhar (afternoon) prayer should be
performed at the time when there will be cold.”
Afterward Sheikh said “ Once the morning prayer was lapsed
by Ba-Yazid of Bustam. So for this reason he wept very much
and make loud and cry which is not able to describe in this matter.
And he was heard a divine call in which it was asked “ Oh: BA-
Yazid why do you make so much louder and cry if one of the
morning prayer is lapsed by you so We have added the reward of
100 prayers in your account of the deed.”
Upon this he said “ He was seen the in the book of exegesis of
Mahboob Qureshi that “One who will perform five prayers at its
required time, then on the day of judgement the prayer will guide
him.”
If there will be no prayer of the person, then there will be no

Iman (faith) for that person.
Afterwards he told the prophet of Allah said, “ If there will

be no prayer of the person, then there will be no Iman (faith) for
him.”
Then Sheikh said “ The prophet of Allah said, “ La main
lemon la salute Lu.” It means if there will no prayer of the person
then there will no Iman for that person.”
In this situation he said he was heard by Khaja Usman Haruni
that he was seen in the book of exegesis of Imam Zahed “ Fawail
lilmuslin hum an salati him sahun.” It means that there is a name
of well ‘Waeil’ in the hell and others say it is a valley in the hell
wherein there will be severe punishment will be given to the
persons who are negligent in performing the prayers. Then he was
given the exegesis of ‘Waeil’ is that ‘Waeil’ was asked Allah
87
70,000 times to whom such severe punishment will be given

there,? There was command that it was given to the persons who
will not perform the prayer at the time and they used to lapse the
prayers.”
Upon this Sheikh said “ Once Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab (R.A.)
was performed the evening prayer and when he looked at the sky
then he was seen the stars in the sky. So he becomes sad and he
was entered into the house and for its expiation and he was freed
on the slave. As there is a command to perform the prayer at the
time of sunset immediately, which is required as per the Sunnah
(tradition) of the prophet.
After this the discussion about charity was started and Sheikh
said “One who will feed the hungry person then on the day of
judgement Allah will create seven veils in between him and the
hell. The distance of the each veil will be equal to the distance of
the journey of 500 ways. After this the discussion about the false
talking was started. On who will swear falsely then he will
become a person who will ruin his family and from his house the
blessing will be taken out from the person who will not perform
prayer and the person who swear falsely
Khaja Saheb said “ Once one Zakir (one who remembers Allah)
Moulana Emaduddin Bukhari used to live in the grand mosque in
Baghdad and who was a very pious person. This event was heard
from him that once Allah was discussing about the hell with
prophet Moses (A.S.) and Allah told “Oh: Moses I have created
one valley ‘Badia’ in the hell, which is in seventh hell and which
is most dangerous and darkest and its fire is in black colour and it
is very fast. There are many snakes and scorpions are in it. Daily
it is warmed by the stones of sulphur and if the one drop of that
sulphur will fall on in this world, then all water of the world will
be dry up and all the mountains will be melted due to its heat and
the earth will be shattered. Oh: Mosa (A.S.) this punishment is
made for the following two persons.”
88
1. One who will not pray

2. One who will swear falsely in Allah’s name.
The expiation of the true swearing
Khaja Saheb said one pious person Khaja Mohammed Aslam

Tosi who was sworn truly for any work. He was in the condition
of Sukkar (intoxication) at that time and when he was coming
back in (Sahu) conscience then he was asked did he was sworn.?
And he was told “Yes”. “He said today my soul dared to true
swear and tomorrow it will dared for the wrong swear. So it's
better for him that he should not talk till he would live in the
world.” After this event he was living for a period of 40 years, but
he did not talk to anybody. Upon this well wisher was asked
Khaja Saheb “ If there will be any necessity, then what he will use
do in that matter,? He said “He used to talk by the signs.”
4.
Who is true in the love?
On the Monday I was honoured to kiss the feet of the

Sheikh. On that occasion the following persons were coming
there to visit the Sheikh.
1. Sheikh Shabuddin Saherwardi
2. Khaja Ajal Shirazi
3. Sheikh Saifuddin Bakherzi
The discussion about who is true, in the love was started.
The Sheikh said with by his holy tongue that “In the love the true
person is one who accept any difficulty which was given by his
89
friend.” Upon this Sheikh Shahabuddin Saherdi said “ In the love

such person is true, to whom there will be very much fondness
then in such condition if there will be strike of 100,000 swords
on his head, but he will not be un-aware of it.”
After this Khaja Ajal Shirazi said “That person is true in the
love of Allah and if he will be cut into many pieces and if he will
be burnt down in the fire but he will not hesitate or object in this
matter.” At last Sheikh Saifuddin Bakherzi said “In the
friendship of Allah that person is truly one who will be hurt
always. In the observation, he should forget his hurt and there
should be no effect in this matter.”
Then Sheikh of religion Khaja Moinuddin said “ This thing is
found in Sheikh Shabuddin Saherwardi. In this connection he was
seen in the book ‘Israr Auliya’ in which it was written that once
Rabia of Basra, Hasan of Basra, Malik Bin Dinar and Khaja
Shafiq who were sitting in Basra and they were discussing about
the truth of the love. Khaja Hasan of Basra said “ That person is
truly in the friendship of Allah when there will be grief and
trouble then he will be patient with this condition.” Then Rabia
said “ Oh: Khaja there is a smell of pride in this matter.” Then
Malik Bin Dinar said “ In the love of Allah that person is truly
one who will be patient of any calamity and seek willingness of
Allah and he should be content on this condition.”
Rabia said “ His condition should be better than this.” Upon
this Khaja Shafiq said “ In the love of Allah, such person is true if
he will be cut into many pieces, then he should not object in this
matter.” Then Rabia said “ When he will face grief and sorrow,
then he should forget it in the observation of the friend.”
Then Khaja Saheb said “ We also agreed upon this.” Upon this
Sheikh Saifuddin Bakherzi said “ It is the name of true love of
Allah.”
The laughing in the graveyard

90
When the discussion about laughing in the graveyard was

started and he was told by his holy tongue that “ Laughing is a
big sin. But the laughing belongs to the people of mystics. He
said “ Laughing is legal, but it is not legal in the graveyard which
is the place of lessons and not a place of playful activities.” In
the saying of the prophet of Allah it is available “ One who will
pass from the graveyard, then the dead person will tell him, Oh:
careless person if you know that all this will happen to you then
the flesh and the skin of the body will fall.”
Upon this Sheikh by his holy tongue said “ He and Sheikh
Ahud Kirmani were travelling in Kirman and there we have seen
one person who was very old and who was a person of grace and
who was engaged in the worship of Allah. As that pious was
engaged in the worship of Allah and he was not seen such
engagement of worship before. So when I saw him then I paid
respect to him and I found there was no flesh available on his
body and there is only soul is left with him. That pious person
used to talk very less. Then there came an idea into my mind to
ask that pious person how he was becoming in such weak and
pathetic condition.? He was a man of pure heart (Roshan Zamir)
so he told the details before my asking in this matter. He said “
Oh: Darwesh one day he was passed from the graveyard with his
friend. We stayed there for some time near a grave and when we
sat there, then by chance there was something was happening due
to that reason he was laughing and he made amused.” So there
was a divine call which came from the grave in which it was said
“ Oh: careless person, one who is going to face such a place and
whose opponent is the angel of death and he will be afflicted
under the grip of snakes and scorpions than what is the work of
that person with the laughing”?. When he heard this call then he
stood and kissed the hand of my friend and bade him goodbye
from there. Then he sat in the prayer and due to the horror he was
began melting. A period of 40 years was passed, but since then he
91
could not look at the sky and seen it. He is ashamed in this matter
that for this how he will face on the day of judgement.?”
The punishment and horror of the grave and fear of the hell
In this connection he was told one event of the pious person

who is known as Khaja Atai Salmi and who did not see the sky
for a period 40 years. When he was asked the reason for weeping
in this matter, then he said “ Due to fear of the grave and the day
of the judgement.” Afterwards, when he was asked the reason of
not seeing upon the sky, then he said “He was ashamed because
he was doing so many sins and in the meetings he did so many
laughing and amusements. So for this reason he will not look at
the upper side and also he did not see in the sky.
After this event he told one more event that Khaja Fateh
Mouseli who was a follower of the Tariqat (mystic) way and who
wept for a period of 8 years. For this reason the flesh and skin of
the cheeks were melted. Upon his death when he was asked in the
dream, “What is your condition there in the next world?” He
replied, “Allah blessed me with His mercy. When he was taken in
the sky and he was reached under the empyrean and he was
prostrate there. But he was afraid and shivering there. Then he
was heard a divine call in which it said “Oh: Fateh why do afraid
so much? Do you not know about his attribute of Ghaffari (The
Great Forgiver)? Then I put my head on the floor and in the
hymns he said “ Oh: My Lord, I know this, but he was afraid of
the following things.”
1. The punishment of the grave
2. The horror f of the grave
3. The hardness of the death
4. The condition in the small grave
Upon this there was command in this matter which is as
follows.
“ As he was afraid of the above things, so he was asked to go
92
back as we have removed him from that fear and we have

forgiven him.”
After this he said “ Once he was travelling in Sewastan along
Khaja Haruni and find in one hut one Darwesh Sheikh Saderuddin
Mohammed Ahmed Sewastani and he was engaged in the worship
of Allah very much and he was well known pious personality of
the time there. I was in the company the pious person for some
days. Every person who visits the hut will not leave without
anything. He was used to give the persons something from the
invisible source and he was used to say him “To remember the
Darwesh and to pray for his (Iman) faith. If I will go to the grave
with the safety of the faith, then it will be the biggest thing for
me.”
So the pious person when he will hear about gravity and horror
of the grave, then he will use to shiver like a cane and there will
be a discharge of the blood from his eyes like a water stream.
After this he was weeping for seven days and seven nights while
standing there and while looking at the sky. Upon watching his
weeping and due to the effect of this we also began weeping
there. Upon his finishing of weeping, he was sitting there and he
addressed us and he said “ Oh: dears, those who are going to face
the death and the enemy, it means the angel of death is chasing
him and the day of judgment is coming for him than for his
fantasy and laughing and merriness is not useful for him and to
engage in other works and so it will not look these things better
for him. ”
Then he told again that “Oh: dears if you know a little thing
about the condition of the dead person who are in the custody of
snakes and ants and who are in prison of the earth, then you will
become finished due to this horror and you will be melted like
water in the standing position.”
Upon this he said” Oh: dear persons, he was seen one pious
person in Basra who was very much busier in the worship of
Allah. Along with that person he has gone to the graveyard there.
93
He was a man of revelation. We have sat near a grave there. The

angels were giving the severe punishment in the grave to the
person. When the pious person saw this punishment, then he made
a slogan and he become un-conscious and fell down on the
ground. When I was approached near him and found he was dead
there and after some time he become salty water and he was
vanished from there. The condition of fear which was prevailed
upon that pious person was so greatly with full of horror and so I
could not see and find such fear and horror.
He said “ He was engrossed in such condition in himself that
he was melting in himself and after 30 years he was talking with
him. So my dear person, as you engage very much with the
mankind, then why you are not engaged in the work of the
sincerity of Allah. Because during such time of engagement with
the mankind, then he will be away from their work of obedience
of Allah because as per their engagement they will be away from
Allah. So go and start preparation for the good deeds for the
journey of the other world. As one day it will happen that we
should have to leave this world. It is possible that we will leave
this world. Upon this he gave me two dates and then he began
busily in the weeping and then he engaged himself in the world of
the surprise.
After this Khaja Saheb was began weeping with a loud voice.
Upon his afflicted weeping and he said “ Oh: Darwesh I swear in
the name of Allah who is Lord of the worlds and whose possess
my soul with him and since from that time and till now daily
due to the fear and horror of the grave he was melting. I do not
have preparation and convenience with me so that I should be free
from the fear and horror in this matter.”
The person who eat and drink in the graveyard is cursed person
and he is hypocrite person
One who eat and drink in the graveyard purposely then he will
94
become cursed and hypocrite person. Because graveyard is the

place of lessons and not greed and desires.
In this situation he told one event that “ He was seen the
writing on the mausoleum of the Abul Khair Zandusi that the
prophet of Allah said “ Man akal fe maqabir tamam wa sharaba
fahuwa malun wa munafiq.” So anybody who eats something and
drink in the graveyard, then he will become cursed and hypocrite
person.
After this he was told one event which is related to this
situation that “ Once Hasan of Basra was passed through a
graveyard. He was seen there some persons who were eating and
drinking there. He went near them and asked them, “ Whether
they are Muslim or hypocrite persons?”.So this question was not
liked by them. So they want to misbehave with Khaja Saheb.
Then Khaja Saheb told them “He asked for them in this matter as
the prophet of Allah said that those who eat and drink in the
graveyard are hypocrite persons. Because this is place of the
warning. As you see here that like you and better persons than
yourself are resting there in the earth. They are in the custody and
in the prison of the snakes and ants. Their flesh of the body was
melted and destructed and their beauty and prime was damaged in
the soil. You have buried them in the soil with your hands. How
then you like to eat and drink in such a place and engaged in the
merry and playful activities there.”
When Khaja Saheb said all these details, then all of them
regretted in this matter and requested him to forgive them as they
have left this bad thing.
Why they will be engaged in the playful activity and

laughing.?
Afterwards Khaja Saheb told one event related to this situation

that he was seen in the book ‘Riyahin’ in which it was written that
once the prophet of Allah was seen some persons who were busy
95
in playful activities and laughing. The prophet stood there and

said Salam to all of them so they stood to pay respect him and put
their heads on the earth and they presented themselves while
folding their hands in the presence of the prophet. The prophet
told them “ Brothers are you did not have fear of the death.?All
of them replied in one tongue “No”. Are you are getting freedom
from the fear of all deeds.? They said “No”. Have they crossed the
pathway of the paradise.? They said “No”. Then why they are
busy with playful activity and laughing.” There was so much
effect of the prophet’s advise on them that afterwards nobody was
not seen them laughing again.
Khaja Saheb said the following persons were disgusted with
the world and whatever it contains because they can able to watch
the punishment and horror of the grave yard.
1. Mashaiq (learned) persons
2. The person of Tariqat (mystic way)
3. The leaders (Imam) of the religion
4.
Khajagan (masters) of Marifat (knowledge of Allah)
To cause trouble to the Momin (believer) persons is a great

sin.
Afterward, he said “ In the book ‘Murtaba Saum’ in its volume

third it is mentioned that the persons of mystic think it is a great
sin. It is such thing that no other sin is not greater than that a
Muslim person should be given trouble without any reason in this
matter. As per the command given by Allah in the holy Quran “
Al-lazina yawazuna al-momenon bagarun maaktasbu faqs
ahtamalu buhatann wa asim mubina ”. To give trouble to Muslim
brother is a great sin. For this Allah and his prophet both of them
will be angry in this matter.”
After this Khaja Saheb told one event that “One king who did
96
a lot of atrocities and problems to the people of the kingdom and

for this reason whole of the mankind were suffered badly in this
matter. After passing of long time, then the king was seen
standing in the Kankari mosque in Baghdad and his hairs of the
head and beard were not in proper order and were in the dusty
condition. His first condition was changed and on his body there
was full of soil was there. One person who was recognized him
and he told him “He was the same king of Makkah who use to do
atrocities on the people in the kingdom.” He was ashamed in this
matter and he said “How he recognized him.?” He said “ He has
seen him during a time of grace and wealth. When he was not
kind towards his people and he was used to working inversely
and he was doing atrocities on the mankind.” “Yes” at that time
he was used to give troubles and do atrocities to the mankind
without any reason. So for this reason he got what he did in this
matter.”
Upon this Khaja Sahib told one more event that “Once in
Baghdad, one pious person used to live in the hut at the bank of
the river and which have seen by him. When he was entered in the
hut and said Salam to him and he was replied it by the sign. He
asked me to sit there by the sign. Upon sitting for some time he
told him “ Oh: Darwesh since about 50 years he resided there in
loneliness. Like his travels in the world he was also used to travel
here and there. He was seen one pious person in one city who
used to like the world and who used to give so much trouble to
the mankind in their dealings. But he did not say anything to him
and stopped him in this matter and watched all those things and
left from there. So then he heard a divine call from the angel
which said “Oh : Darwesh if you would have instructed for the
sake of Haq (truth) to that person who is a lover of the world to
be afraid in this matter and not to do atrocities on the mankind
then the person of lovers of the world would have ceased from
this, but you would have agreed in this matter and thought that
person will stop his favour to you.” When he heard this divine
97
call then from that time due to shame he was living in this hut and
not used to put his feet outside of the hut. He has doubts in this
matter that if he will be asked in this matter on the day of
judgement, then what he will reply in this respect.? So: Darwesh
from that day he was sworn that he will not go anywhere so that
he could not see any action at anywhere so that he will become
the witness in this matter.
Afterward, at the time of sunset there were sent down two
breads of barley, one cup and one water bottle were there from
an invisible source. Myself and that Fakir (Darwesh) break the
fast together at that place. When I was leaving from there, then he
was given me two apples from under the prayer mat and I have
paid my respect to him and left him.
Upon this he said by holy tongue “ As per the rules of
mysticism in its the fourth position, it is a great sin when it was
heard the name and verse of Allah, then if the heart of a person
will not become soft and due to fear of Allah and there should be
no increase of the credence and Eman (faith) due to the horror of
Allah.
So upon hearing the holy Quran if the heart will not become
soft or not increase his credence of the faith and still he will
engage in the laughing and playful activity then it will be
deemed as a great sin. As per saying of Allah, which is as
follows.”
Imam Zahed wrote the meaning of this verse in his exegesis

that “ The real Momins (believers) are those people when they
hear the name of Allah, then their credence and Eman (faith) will
be increased. When they hear the invocation (remembrance of
Allah) or verse of Allah when they still laugh at that time, so for
this reason it is sure and certain that they are hypocrite persons in
98
the reality.”
In this situation he said “ Once the prophet of Allah was saw
some persons who are doing the remembrance of Allah as well as
they were busy with playful activity and laughing. But due to the
remembrance of Allah their hearts could not become soft. The
prophet stood and said this group belongs to the third category of
the hypocrite persons. Their hearts could not become soft upon
hearing the verse of Allah.”
The name of Allah
Then he told “One event that Khaja Ibrahim Khawas was seen
some persons who were Zakir (one who remembers) persons and
they were sitting and busy in the remembrance of Allah. When
Khaja Saheb heard the name of Allah from them so there were
feelings of fondness and pain were prevailed on him so he began
dancing for this reason. And he was in dancing condition for a
period of seven days and then he was becoming unconscious and
when he was become conscious then he was having the name of
Allah on his tongue and again he was becoming un-conscious.
When he was becoming normal, then he made fresh ablution and
prayed two rakats of the prayer. He put his head in prostration and
he said “ Ya Allah” and he left this world.” Khaja Saheb recited
the following couplet.
After this Khaja Saheb told another event that “Once in the
shrine building of Khaja Yousuf Chisti that some Darwesh
persons came there and he was present there at that time and he
was reciting the above couplet. For this reason myself and those
Darwesh persons were becoming un-conscious and were in this
condition for a period of seven days and nights and we were
doing the dancing. When the Qawwals (choristers) want to recite
some other couplets of the poetry, but we used to insist them to
repeat the above couplet only. Two persons among those Darwesh
99
were becoming unconscious and fell down on the earth and from
there they have vanished away. When Khaja Saheb was finished
these benefits and he was engaged in the reading of the holy
Quran.”
To look at the parents with love
On the Monday he was blessed with the kissing of the feet of

Khaja Saheb. Sheikh Jalaluddin, Sheikh Mohammed Ohud Chisti
and some other pious personalities were present in the meeting.
The discussion about the look of the five things will be deemed as
worship. Upon this he said with his holy tongue “The first thing is
to look the face of the parents with love.” In the saying of the
prophet of Allah it is mentioned that “The son who for the sake of
friendship, of Allah and his love and who will look at the face of
the parents then in his account of the deeds the reward of one
accepted Hajj will be recorded.” After this he was told “ When
one a sinful and a debauched person died, then he saw him in the
dream and who was walking in the heaven along with Hajji
persons. So the persons were surprised in this matter, and they
asked him. He said “He had one older mother in his house and at
the time of leaving the house, he used to put his head on her feet
and his mother used to pray for his forgiveness from Allah and
for the grant of the reward of Hajj in his fate. Allah accepted her
prayer and he was forgiven in this matter. So he was walking in
the heaven along with Haji persons there.”
Afterward Khaja Saheb told another event that when Khaja
Bayazid of Bustami was asked how he got such a great status and
position.? He told “ He was still seven years old, he was used to
go mosque to read Quran there by a teacher. When he reached this
verse.
100
“Be thankful to Me, and to their parents.” So he asked the

meaning of this verse. He said there is a command of Allah “ As
you perform his service, then you should also perform the service
of the parents.” Upon hearing this from the teacher, he packs the
schooling bag and came back to the house and put his head on the
feet of her mother and he said “In due course his mother sent him
to school.” The above event is further explained as under.
He learned the Quran, and one day his master was explaining
the meaning of the verse in the Sura of Luqman, “ Be thankful to
Me, and to the parents”. These words moved the heart of Abu
Yazid. “Sir,” he said, laying down his tablet, “Please give me
permission to go home and say something to my mother.” The
master gave him leave, and Abu Yazid went home.“Why, Taifur,”
cried his mother, “Why have you come home? Did they give you
a present, or is it some special occasion?”“No,” Abu Yazid
replied. “I reached the verse where God commands me to serve
Him and you. I cannot be managed in two houses at once. This
verse stung me to the quick. Either you ask for me from God, so
that I may be yours entirely, or apprentice me to God, so that I
may dwell wholly with Him.” “My son, I resign you to God, and
exempt you from your duty to me,” said his mother. “Go and be
God’s.” “The task I supposed to be the hindmost of all tasks
proved to be the foremost,” Abu Yazid later recalled. “That was
to please my mother. In pleasing my mother, I attained all that I
sought in my many acts of self discipline and service.
It fell out as follows. One night my mother asked me for water.
I went to fetch her some, but there was none in the jug. I fetched
the pitcher, but none were in it either. So I went down to the river
and filled the pitcher with water. When I returned to the house,
my mother had fallen asleep. “The night was cold. I kept the jug
in my hand. When my mother awoke from sleep, she drank some
101
water and blessed me. Then she noticed that the jug was frozen in
my hand. ‘Why did you not lay the jug aside?’ she exclaimed. ‘I
was afraid that you might wake when I was not present,’ I
answered. ‘Keep the door half-open,’ my mother then said. “I
watched till near daybreak to make sure if the door was properly
half-open or not, and that I should not have disregarded her
command. At the hour of dawn, that which I had sought so many
times entered by the door.” After his mother resigned him to God.
Due to her mercy my mother took my head into her shoulder
and hugs me and kissed me and she said “ Oh, mother’s life you
have suffered very much difficulty in this matter. Upon saying
this she was praying in my favour and forgiveness from Allah.
My mother’s prayer was accepted and all this wealth which was
available to me was due to my mother’s prayer only.”
To look at the holy book Quran
Afterward about second position he said to look the holy book

Quran is worship. He was seen in the book ‘Sharah Auliya’ in
which it was written that one who will see or read Quran then
there is a command of Allah for two rewards in this matter. He
will be given the following rewards.
1. For reading the holy book of Quran.
2. For seeing the holy book of Quran, ten good deeds for each
word and ten sins are forgiven.
After this discussion this well wisher asked Khaja Saheb
whether to take the Quran with the army or on the journey?. He
said “ In the beginning period when there was overwhelming of
infidel persons so the prophet of Islam not to use to take the holy
book of Quran with him so that it should be going into the hands
of the infidel persons. But when there was a power of the Islam
was started, then the prophet used to take it with him.”
In this situation he said “ When Mahmud of Ghazni was seen
in the dream upon his death, then the person asked asked him
102
how Allah treated him? He replied, and he said, “ Once he was a

guest with a person. There was one Quran in the window there. So
he said in his heart Quran is there so how he can sleep there. Then
he said to keep the holy Quran in some other place. Then there
was came the thought that why it should be sent to another place
for his own comfort.? For this reason he was forgiven at the time
of his death.”
After this he was told by with his holy tongue “ One who will
look at the holy Quran so due to kindness and grace of Allah his
eyesight will be increased. There will be no pain in the eye and it
will not become dry for this reason.”
He told one event which relates this situation that “One pious
person was sitting on the prayer mat and there was one Quran
was also there in front of him. At that time one blind person came
there and he said he was treated, his eyes very much but there
was no result at all. So he came there for the eyesight of his eyes.
He was asked to recite Sura Fateha in this matter. That pious
person recited Sura Fateha while sitting in the direction of Qibla
(direction in which Muslim turn in prayer) and touched the Quran
with his eyes. And due to this his two eyes were becoming bright
as the light of the lamp.”
Upon this he said “ He was seen in the book ‘Jamia Hikayat’
that in the olden days one sinner person was there and due to his
bad deeds all the Muslim community members used to hate him.
Many persons used to prohibit him in this matter, but he did not
use to hear them. But when he died, then the person was seen
him in the dream that while wearing the crown on his head and he
was also wearing the robe of honour and he was proceeding
towards the heaven along with the angels. So he asked him in this
matter as he was a sinner, then how he got such wealth?. He said
“ In the world he did one good deed that where ever he used to
find the Quran then he was used to stand and to look at the
Quran with respect in his eyes. For this reason he was forgiven
and he was given such a great status there.”
103
To look at the learned person (Ulma) and Mashaiq (learned)

persons with love
Afterward, he said with his holy tongue “One who will look
at the Ulma and Mashaiq (learned) persons, then Allah will create
one angel who will pray for his forgiveness till the day of the
judgement.”
Afterward, he said “ In the heart where there will be the love
of Ulma and Mashaiq (learned) persons will be there then in his
record of deeds the reward of 1000 worships is recorded. If he
will die during this period, then he will get the position of
learning person (Ulma) and he will be given the highest place
upon his death.” He said he was seen in the book ‘Fatawa
Zaheria’ in which it was written that the prophet of Allah says
“One who visits the Ulama persons and did service to them for a
period of seven days, then Allah will forgive all his sins and the
reward of the worship of 7,000 years is recorded in his record of
deeds. So in such good deed there will be fasting in day time and
worshiping during night time will be recorded for this cause.”
Upon this he said another event “ In the olden days there was a
man who used to turn away his face upon seeing the Ulema and
Mashaiq (learned) persons due to greediness. At the time of his
death when the persons want to turn of his head towards the
direction of the Qibla (direction in which Muslim turn in prayer)
but they were not successful in this matter. Then there was a
divine call in which it was said that why they are giving him
trouble. He used to turn down Ulmea and Mashaiq persons in the
world so we are turning his face from the side of mercy and on the
day of judgment, We will settle his account in the shape of the
bear.”
To look at the K’aba

104
Upon this he said the fourth grade is looking at the Ka’ba in

the holy Makkah city. The prophet says “ One who will visit the
holy Ka’ba then it will be included in the worship. Due to this
visit the reward of worship of 1000 years and the reward of Hajj
will be recorded in his account of the deeds and he will be granted
the status of pious persons of Allah.”
To look at the spiritual master
Upon this he said the fifth grade is to look at the spiritual

master and do a service for him. He said “ He was seen in the
book ‘Marfata Murdin’ in which it was written that Khaja Haruni
in which he says “ One who perform service of the master
properly even for one day, then Allah will grant him a pearl
palace in the paradise for him and in his account of the deeds the
worship of 1000 years will be recorded.”
The reward of the service of the spiritual master
Afterward, he said “ It is compulsory for the disciple that he

should follow and try hard whatever he will hear from the
tongue of his master. He should carry out service to his spiritual
master and he should presence in the service. If he is unable to do
service continuously then at least he should try in this matter.”
In this situation he said one event, “ There was one pious
person who did worship for a period of 100 years and in this way
he used to keep fast in the daytime and he used to stand in the
worship in the night time. All time he used to be engaged in the
worship of Allah. One who visits him, then he used to advise him
in this matter. He used to say to the visitors that Allah says in the
Quran, “Wama Khalaqtul Jinna Wal Insa Illa li-ya’budoon.” And
its meaning is as follows. “We have created Jinn and human
beings for Our worship.” And Allah didn't create men to eat and
drink and carelessness. So oh : Muslim it is expedient (Wajib) for
105
us that we should not do interference, but we should get engaged

in the worship and obedience of Allah.”
So when the ascetic (Zahed) died and he was seen in the
dream upon his death, then the person asked him “ How was
Allah treated him? He replied, “Allah was forgiven him. When he
was asked for which deed of him.? He said the reason of his
forgiveness was that he was used to do service of his spiritual
master. So there was a command that as he was used to do service
of the master and not shown any negligence in this matter. So he
was forgiven in this matter.”
Afterward Khaja Saheb began weeping and he said “ On the
day of judgment true pious and Mashaiq (learned) persons will be
appearing in the condition of having a rag dress on their
shoulders and in the rag dress there will be many 100,000 threads
will be there. At that time their disciples and sons came there and
hang with the threads and they will hold the thread firmly.” When
the mankind will be free from the accountability on the day of
judgment, then they will get power from Allah so they will be
able to reach near the pathway of paradise. Due to the
intercession of the rag dress they will able to pass easily the way
of 30,000 years and will be free from the punishment of the day of
the judgment and will reach the paradise. There will no
opportunity that they will suffer any difficulty in this matter.
When Khaja Saheb told the above benefits, then the people and
this well wisher left the meeting place.
6.
The powers (Qudrat) of Allah
On the Thursday I was honoured the wealth of kissing the

feet of the Sheikh. On that day the discussion about the powers of
Allah was in progress. Sheikh Burhanuddin Chisti, Sheikh
Mohammed Safhani and the group of Darwesh persons of
Baghdad were present in the Jamia (grand) mosque.
106
Khaja Saheb told by his holy tongue “Allah created by His

complete ability and power, such things so if men will think about
it, then he will become mad in this matter within seconds.”
Afterwards he said “ Once the prophet of Allah was desired to
see the persons of Kahaf (companions of the catacomb) so there
was a command in which it was informed “ We have said that you
will not see them in this world, but we will show them you in the
other world and if you want to bring them in your religion, then
we can do the same.” After this it was told him to ask the
companions to sit on the rag and the rag will take them to the
door of the cave of seven sleepers.The companions told Salam to
them.Allah made them alive and they replied their Salam. Then
the companions presented them the religion of Islam and they
accepted it.
Upon this Khaja Saheb said “There is nothing in the worlds
which is not in the power of Allah. The man should fulfil His
orders complete, then he will get whatever he will desire in this
matter.”
Then Khaja Saheb began weeping and he said “ Once he was
in the company of Khaja Usman Haruni and Darwesh persons
were also present there and the discussion about the endeavours
of devotees was in progress. At that time one old, weak person
holding staff in his hand came there and said Salam. Upon
replying his Salam, Khaja Haruni stood with cheerfulness and
give him a place near him. That old person told him that for eight
years his son is away from him. Due to grief of separation of his
son, his health condition become such of inferior quality. He does
not know whether he is alive or not.? He now came there in the
presence of Khaja Saheb to pray about the safe and secure return
of my son. Upon hearing this Sheikh Saheb was started Marqaba
(meditation) and lifted his head and asked the persons to pray for
the safe return of the boy. When Sheikh Saheb was finished his
prayer, then he asked him “ Oh: old man to bring the boy after
some time there.” When the old man heard this they he was paid
107
respect and left the meeting place.

On the way he was getting good news that his boy was
returned back to his house. He went back to his house and he was
seen with eyes that his boy was there and he met his boy in the
house. Due to looking for his son the old man’s weak eyes were
becoming bright and shining. Immediately he took his boy and
visited Khaja Saheb in this matter and asked him to kiss the feet
of Khaja Saheb. Khaja Saheb asked the boy to come near him
and he was asked where he was?. He said “He was in the middle
of the sea in the prison of the devil. Today he was also sitting
there and one Darwesh who was similar to your face came there
and he was broken my chains. He held my neck strongly and he
asked me to put his feet on his feet and he was asking me to close
my eyes, then he told again to open my eyes, then he was find
himself at the door of the house.” Upon saying this the boy wants
to say something more, but Khaja Saheb was prohibited him in
this matter. That old man put his head on the feet of Khaja Saheb.
See in this matter that pious people, despite of having such power
they used to keep themselves hide it and not disclose in this
matter.
The angel of darkness and light
He said the saying of the prophet of Allah narrated by Kab

Bin Ahbar in which it was said that “Allah was created such an
angel and his piousness and horror which is known by Allah
himself. His name is Habil and his two hands are spreading such
that one hand is in the east and the other is in the west and his
tasbih (glorification) is “La ilaha illa Mohammed ur Rasool lilla”.
He is an agent of the light. He will give light to the world from
the hand of the east and from the hand of the west he will give the
darkness. If he will leave the light from his hand, then there will
be darkness which will be prevail in the world and never a
daylight will come into the world. One tablet is hanging over
108
there on which the lines of white and black are there on it. He
will see those lines and he used to increase and decrease them.
When he will increase white lines, then there will prevail, light
and when he decrease the black lines, then there will be darkness
which will be prevailed in the world. For this reason some time
the days will become longer and sometime the nights will be
longer.
When Khaja Saheb was finished these benefits and he began
weeping and in the condition of Sukkar (intoxication) he said “
On this way there are such persons of Allah are there who will
come to know the event which will happen in the world and the
wonderful things are happening by the power of Allah so they
know and see the details and they present such details to the
mankind in this matter.
On the situation he said “ Allah was created one more angel
who is very horrible and his one hand is in the sky and other his
hand is in the earth. With the hand of the sky, he will control the
wind and with the hand of the earth he will control the water. If
he will leave the water from the hand of the earth, then all of the
world will submerge in the water and if he leaves the wind then
all of the world will be destroyed due to this reason.
The mountain of Qaf and the angel Fartabil
Afterwards Khaja Saheb on this situation said “ Allah was

created the mountain of Qaf and it is so greatly in length and it is
being surrounded by the world and all that is in it. Allah says “ Qa
Quran Majid “ the prophet of Allah was given its exegesis which
is as follows.
That Allah was created one angel and whose name is Fartabil
and who is sitting on this mountain.Its glorification is “ La ilha
illa Muhammad ur rasool lulla” and his name is Fartabil and who
is the agent of this mountain. Who used to open some time his
hand and some time he used to closed his hand. Allah has given
109
him the veins of the earth in his hands. When Allah wants to
tighten the earth, then he will command the angel to tight the
veins and due to this reason the streams will become dry and
there will stoppage of the growth of the plants on the earth. When
Allah wants prosperity, then he will command the angel to open
the veins. When Allah wants to bring fear upon the mankind,
then He will command the angel to shake the veins and which is
known as earthquakes. So as per order of Allah the earth will be
shaken in this matter.
Afterward, he said “ He was heard by the tongue of the Sheikh
of Islam Khaja Haruni and Sheikh Saifuddin Bakherzi that in the
book ‘Asrar Arif’ it is mentioned that Allah is made this mountain
equal of the 40 worlds. And in its every world there are 400 parts
are there in it and every part of it is four times greater than this
world. At the backside of the mountain there is no darkness
available and there is no night there. Its land is made up of gold
and where the angels used to reside there. The following things
are not available there.
1. Mankind
2. Satan
3. Hell
4. Heaven
When Allah created the angels on the day from that time they
began saying “ La ilha illa Muhammad ur rasool lulla” and there
is a veil behind these 40 worlds and back side of them, there are
available veils and their greatness is only known to Allah only.
Afterward, he said this mountain was kept available at the head
of the cow and whose length is in the distance of the journey of
30,000 years. The cow is in standing position and engaged in the
praise and eulogy of Allah and the head of the cow is in the east
and her tail is in the west.
Afterward Khaja Haruni was sworn and he said “When he was
heard this event by Khaja Moulded Chisti then he performed
Maraqaba (meditation) and at that time one Darwesh person was
110
present there and Maudud Chisti and both of them vanished away
from the meeting place and after some time they were returned
back there. That Darwesh upon swearing, said he and Mauddud
Chisti were present there at that mountain and were desired to
inspect the 40 worlds there which were mentioned by Khaja
Saheb in the meeting place. We have seen there as it is which was
explained by the Khaja Saheb and there was no difference at all in
this matter and all things were available same as per the
explanation of Khaja Saheb.” The reason of Mukashaf
(revelation) was that there was doubt for these things about the
events which were explained by Khaja Saheb in the discussion in
the meeting place so he was cleared his doubt in this way in this
matter.
At that time Sheikh of Islam Khaja Moinuddin said “There
should be such power of the innermost with Darwesh people that
if somebody who will hear the events of the holy persons and if
he has some doubt in this matter, then he should show the same
and convince the people by the power of miracles in this
matter.”
In this situation he said “Once he was travelling towards
Samarqand and he was found there one pious person was
constructing a mosque near the palace of Imam Abul Lais and
where one wise person was asked to keep the arch (Mehrab) on
one side as the Holy Ka’aba is in that direction. I told him not in
that side, but keep it in the direction which he is showing him
there. I have convinced many times, but he was not agreed in this
matter. So I caught his neck and asked him to see there is Ka’aba
in the direction which he is showing. When he looked at that
direction and he was seen Ka’aba is available there. ”
The hell in the mouth of the snake
Afterward on this situation he said “Allah was created such a

snake and on the day when he was created the hell asked him “
111
Oh: snake he will hand over the hell to him.” The snake said “He
is obedient.” There was a divine call “ To open the mouth.” When
the snake opened his mouth Allah commanded the angels to the
put the hell in the mouth of the snake. When it was put the hell in
the mouth, then he was asked to shut the mouth. Now the hell is
in the mouth of the snake and it is under the seven earths. So if the
hell is not in the mouth of the snake then the world will be
destroyed by the fire along with the people of the world.
Afterward, he said on the day of judgement Allah will
command the angels to take out the hell from the mouth of the
snake. There will be 1000 chains of the hell and with every chain
there will be 1000 angles will be hanging with it. Those angels
will be in such big stature that if Allah will command, then they
can eat all creatures in one morsel. Then the hell will be warm up
and when upon its one time of the blown up, then the day of
judgement will be started.”
When Khaja Saheb was finished these benefits, then he said “
The person who want to keep away from these punishments then
he should follow obedience in this matter. Because there is no
sincerity is more important with Allah than this sincerity. So I
asked about the sincerity.”
1. To redress the helpless person’s complaint

2. The fulfillment of the desires of the needy persons.
3. To feed the hungry persons
There is no other big good deed than the above deeds.
When Khaja Saheb was finished these benefits, then myself

and all people who present in the meeting left from there.
112
7.
The excellence of Sura (verse) Fateha
On Wednesday I was honoured to visit Khaja Saheb. There

were some Haji persons came there to see him.The discussion
about Sura Fateha was in progress there in the meeting place. By
his holy tongue, he said that “In the book ‘Mashiaq Tabqat Asar ’
it is written that for the fulfillment of wishes this verse should be
recited very much. ” In the saying of the prophet of Allah it is
mentioned that “When somebody face any difficulty, then he
should recite Fateha as follows.”
“ Bismilla Ar Rehman Nir Rahim Alhamdu it means to join
alphabet Mim of Rahim with an alphabet of Lam of Alhamdu
and at the time of saying Amin is said three times Amin then
could solve the problem in this matter.”
The Verse Fateha is unique
Afterward, he said “ Once the prophet of Allah was sitting

there and his companions were sitting around him. He told that
“Allah granted him many miracles and at the same time angle
Gabriel came over there and conveyed the message of Allah
which is as follows
“ The book which we have sent to you and in which there is one
verse and if it is available in Tora then there will be no person in
the Ummat (nation) of Moses will be left as a Jew. If it will be
available in the Angil (New testament) then no Christian will
become idol worshippers. If it is available in Zaboor (Psalms of
David) then there will no person in the Ummat of David will not
become a fire worshipper. This verse is sent for the purpose of its
blessing for your Ummat and one who seek help from Allah. So
that on the day of judgment, Ummat will be free from the
punishment of the hell.” The prophet asked “Which Sura was
that.?” The angel replied, “It is Sura Fateha.” Then the angel said
113
“ I swear in the name of the Lord, who was sent you as his
messenger and if all rivers of the world will become ink and all
trees will become pens and seven skies and seven earths will
become paper and the men and angels since beginning of the
world will write its excellence then one of excellence of this Sura
they could not possible to write.”
The cure of all diseases
Khaja Saheb was told by his holy tongue “ Sura Fateha is the
cure for all pains and all diseases. For the disease which is not
curable then in that case to recite 41 times with Bismilla in
between the obligatory prayer and the Sunnah prayer of the
morning and blow it where there is pain available then the
disease will be over. Upon this he said “ In the saying of the
prophet it is mentioned “Alfateha alshafa min kul dawen.” It
means Sura Fateha is cured of all pains.
Afterwards he said “ Once Harun al Rashid was suffering
from serious disease, and which was continued for a period of two
years. When he becomes hopeless, then he sent his minister to
Fazil Bin Ayaz with a message that he was upset and worried with
his problem and there was no cure possible to him after many
treatments. At the time of his cure come there so Fazil Bin Ayaz
immediately visited Harun al Rashid in this matter and he touched
his hand on his body. Upon reciting 41 times Sura Fateha he was
blown on him. Even the blowing process was not completed
Harun al Rashid was become a healthy and normal person.
In this situation he said once Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.) was
recited this Sura on one patient and he recovered his health at the
same time. One more person came to see that patient and he was
asked to him that how his condition and he was recovering his
health.? He said “ Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.) was coming there
and who recited Sura Fateha which we used to recite and for this
reason he was recovering his health. Even he could not complete
114
his discussion and his illness was relapsed again and due to this
disease he was dying there. The reason in this matter was that due
to dis-believe he died. So man should take care and have truth in
every matter and should have pious belief. So if there will be a
touch of a hand, even without reciting Sura Fateha then there will
be recovery in this matter. The Sura Fateha is cured of all pains.
He was told by holy tongue that in the exegesis, it is mentioned
“Allah was named all verses one name but in the verse of Fatha
there are given seven names which are as follows.
1. Fateh al Kitab
2.Sabe al Masani
3.Umul Kitab
4.Umul Quran
5.Surat Magrifa
6.Surat Rahma
7.Suratal Kunz
In this verse the following seven alphabets are not included
in it.
1.Sa, because it is first alphabet of word Thabur as the reader of
Sura Fateha is not related with Thabur (destruction).
2. Jim, it is the first alphabet of Jehannum and the reader of Sura
Fateha is not related with Jehannum (hell).
3. Zha, it is the first alphabet of Zaqum, due to the mercy of
Allah, the reader of the Sura is not related with Zaqum (cactus).
4. Shin, it is the first alphabet of Shaqawat and the reader of Sura
Fateha is not related with Shaqawat (misfortune).
5. Zhae, it is the first alphabet of Zulmat and the reader of Sura
Fateha is not related with Zulmat (darkness).

is not related to Faraq (separation).

In this Sura there are seven verses are there. Imam Nasir
Basti was written “In this Sura there are seven Ayats (verses) are
115
there and Allah was created seven Indam (parts) in the body of
the mankind and those who read this verse will be safe and keep
away from the seven hells.
Afterward, he said the group of Mashaiq (learned) persons and
people of Saluk (mysticism) have written that “In this verse there
124 words are there and Allah was sent down 1,24,000 prophets
in the world and for reading one alphabet of this verse the
reader will get 1000 rewards for it.
The secret of Sura Fateha

Afterward, he said there are five alphabets of word
Alhamdulila and there are five obligatory prayers are there and
one who read it then Allah will forgive mistakes in the five
obligatory prayers.
Afterwards he said “ In the word ‘Allah’ there are three
alphabets are there and if we add five alphabets of ‘Alhamdulilla’
then it will become eight. So for the reader of this word, Allah
will command to open the doors of eight heavens so he can enter
from any door whichever he like it. In the words ‘Rabbil alamin’
there are ten alphabets are there and if we add eight in it, then it
will become 18 and Allah was created 18,000 worlds. Those who
read these 18 alphabets, then they will become eligible for the
reward of 18,000 worlds. In the word ‘Ar-Rahman’ there are 6
alphabets are in it. If we add in 18 alphabets, then it will become
24 alphabets and Allah was made 24 hours in the day and night.
The person who will read 24 alphabets, then he will be free from
his sins and he will become such a person who born today from
the womb of his mother.
There are 6 alphabets in ‘Ar-Rahim’ and in it and if will add
24 then it will become 30. Allah was made the distance of the
pathway of paradise a journey of 30,000 years and those who will
read these 30 alphabets, then they will pass the pathway of the
paradise very fast like electricity. In the words ‘Malik, yuam-din’
there are 12 alphabets are there and if we add 30 alphabets in it
116
then the total will become 42. Allah created 12 months in a year.
One who will read these 12 alphabets, then Allah will forgive his
sins of 12 months. There are 8 alphabets in ‘Eyaka nabodu’ and in
it if we add 42 then the total will become 50. Allah created the
day of judgment which will be equal of 50,000 years. The person
who will read these 50 alphabets, then Allah will treat him as
Siddiq (true) person. There are 11 alphabets in ‘Eyaka nestin’ and
if we add 50 alphabets in it, then the total will become 61. Allah
was created 61 rivers in the earth and skies. Those who will read
61 alphabets, then Allah will reward of the drops of 61 river
waters and which will be recorded in his record of the deeds and
the same quantity of bad deeds are removed from his record of
the deeds. In the words ‘Ehdiens siratal mustaqim’ there are 19
alphabets are there in it and if we add to it 61 then the total will
become 80. There is command of 80 Darras (whipping) to the
person who drink wine in the world. The reader of this verse will
gets reward of 80 Darras. In the words ‘Anamta alaihim ghairul
maqzubi alaihim walaz zalim’ and there are 44 alphabets are there
in it and if we add to it 80 then the total will become 124
alphabets. Allah sent 1, 24,000 prophets in the world. One who
will read 124 alphabets, then he will get a reward of 1,24,000
prophets.
An enlightening story of Eman (faith)
In this situation he said “ He was travelling with Khaja Usman

Haruni and when we reached at the river of Tigris and not find the
boat there and we were in a hurry. Khaja Saheb asked me to close
the eyes. When I closed the eyes and find Khaja Saheb and me on
the bank of the river. I requested him to inform me how he had
crossed the river. Then he told me that he was reciting five times
Verse Fateha and put his feet on the water.

8.
The daily rounds of the recital
On the Thursday I was honoured to kiss the feet of Khaja

Saheb. The discussion about Vard (recital) and Tasbih
(glorification) was in progress. Khaja Saheb said with his holy
tongue that one who should decide his daily recital and follow it
and if he could not follow in the day time, then he should
complete in the night time but do not miss it and should complete
it on the same day. Afterward this he should engage in other
work. Because in the saying of the prophet it is mentioned “
There is disgrace of one who leave the daily round of the recital.”
Afterward, in this situation he said “ Once Maulana Raziuddin
was falling down from the horse. And his leg was hurt. When he
was reaching back to his house and he thought on this matter that
how the such problem was occurring to him.? Then he
remembered that he used to recite daily Sura Yasin after the
morning prayer and on that day he was missing the reading of it.
In this situation he said “ One pious person of Islamic religion
Khaja Abdulla Mubarak once he could not complete his daily
round of the recital. So he was hearing a divine call in which it
was said “ Oh: Abdullah you forget the convent which you have
made with us that you forget the round of the recital of the
today.”
Then he said “ The prophets and pious persons, Mashaiq
(learned) persons, the person of Allah used to complete their daily
round of the recitals on the regular basis. Whatever they used to
hear from their spiritual masters, they used to follow in their lives
strictly.” The daily round of the recitals which are coming in the
lineage from Khajagan (masters) of the mystic system, then they
should use to follow those daily rounds of the recital on the
daily basis. So you should follow the daily round of the recital
and do not miss the same. When you used to stand, then you

9.
The grades of Saluk (Mysticism)
When I was honoured of kissing of the feet of Khaja Saheb

then Sheikh Ohud Kirmani, Sheikh Wahed Burhan Ghaznavi,
Khaja Suleman Abdul Rahman and some other Darwesh persons
were present at the meeting place. The discussion about Saluk
(mysticism) was started. He told by his holy tongue that the
Mashaiq (learned persons) has classified Saluk into 100 grades.
Among in it the position of miracle and revelation is 17 th rank. So
the person one who shows himself in the 17 th rank, then how he
128
will get other remaining 83 ranks. So Salik (mystic person) should

not disclose himself unless he will reach the rank of 100 grades.
Afterward, he said “In the family of Khajagan (masters)
some of them ranked Saluk (mysticism) into 15 grades. Among in
it miracles and revelations are ranked 5th position. Our Khajagan
used to say that one should not disclose himself unless reaching
on the rank of the 15th position of Saluk (mysticism). Then he
will become perfect in this matter.
In the connection of Saluk (mysticism) it is written that once
Junaid of Baghdad was asked why he did not want Deedar
(sight).? Then, if he wants, he can get it. He said “ He does not
want the thing which was asked by the prophet Moses (A.S.) and
which he could not get it but Allah’s last prophet got it without
asking it. So the person is not concerned with its desire. If he will
eligible then there will be no veil in this matter and there will be
available to him divine celestial illumination (Tajalli) in this
matter. So why there is a necessity in this matter that we should
desire this?.”
Afterward the discussion was started about the love. He said
“ The heart of the lover is a fireplace of love and one who goes
with it, then he will be burnt down with it and he will be
destroyed. Because no fire is not so harmful than the fire of the
love.
The fire of love
Afterwards he said “ Once Ba Yazid of Bustam was reached

at the place of nearness and there came a divine call in which it
was said “ Ba Yazid today is the time of your request and our time
of our forgiveness. Demand whatever you need and we will
grant you.” So Khaja Saheb went into the prostration and he said
“ The slave is not concerned about wishes and whatever the King
will grant with that he will be contented in this matter.”
There was a divine call again in which it was said “We have
129
granted you the next world.” He said “It is the prison of the
friends of Allah.” Then he was heard “ Oh : BA Yazid, We have
given you heaven, hell, Kursi (chair) which are in our possession
and we have given you.” Then he said “No”. Then he heard
“What did he mean.?” He said “He knows well.” “Oh; Ba Yazid
do you demand us.? And if We demand you then what do you
did.?” Upon hearing this call he said “ I swear in your name if
You demand me then on the day of judgement due to my
lamentation and while standing near the hell I will destroy it by
his one of sigh because against the fire of the love there is no
value of the fire of hell and when he was sworn this and he was
heard a call in which it was said “Oh :Ba Yazid whatsoever thou
demanded was given to him.”
In this situation he told one event that one night Rabia of
Basra was calling fire, fire, due to fondness of the love. Due to
her complaint the people of Basra city went to put off the fire.
Among them there was a pious person who said “ How foolish
they are that they came to put off the fire of Rabia. In her chest
there is a flare up of fire of the love which will not be stopped
without the union of the friend.”
He said “ When Mansur Hallaj was asked in the friend’s love
what is the thing which is leading to the perfection in this
matter?”. He said “ When the beloved want to do politics and
want to cut the head of the lover then he should not hesitate in this
mater. He should act in accordance with the willingness of the
beloved. He should busy in such a way that with the observation
there should be no information for him about its opening and
closing on this matter.” Upon this Hadrat Khaja Moinuddin began
weeping and he was reciting the following couplet.
In this situation he said “ In the city of Baghdad, one lover was

flogged for 1000 times, but he never lifts his hands and there was
no slip in his legs.” One pious person asked him what is the
130
matter with him.? He said “ His beloved was before him so there
was no difficulty for him due to the power of the observation in
him and so even there was no information for him in this
matter.”
Imam Ghazali said “ Once in Baghdad, one Ayar (cunning)
person’s hands were cut off but he was laughing. Somebody
asked him the reason of his laugh on this matter, then he told his
beloved was there before his eyes. Due to the power of the
observation, he could not feel any difficulty and pain in this
matter. So he was very much busy in this matter and he could not
able to know about cutting off his hands.” Khaja Saheb began
weeping and recited the following couplet.
After this the discussion about the condition of the people of

Saluk (mysticism) and the discussion about the learned person
was started. So he told by his holy tongue that once Khaja Ba
Yazid of Bustam said the following words at the time of his
hymns. “Kaif alsaluk alaik” and he heard a divine call “ Oh :
Ba Yazid talaq nafsak thalas wa qul hu wallah.” It means first
give three times Talaq (divorce) to your soul, then talk about Us.”
Afterward Khaja Saheb said “ When the man doesn't leave all
the world and all that is in it for himself in the path of the Saluki
(mystic way) then he will not be able to enter into it and he will
not belong to them. So if his condition doesn't prevail like the
above, then he will be called a false claimant.”
Afterwards he said “ One pious person who belongs to the
people of Tariqat (mystic way) and who belongs to the people of
love and he said in his hymns “ You will ask with me the account
of deeds of 70 years but I will ask with him the account of deeds
of 70,000 years. And I will ask with you for saying about Bala
(yes). The duration of the period of 70,000 was passed in which
you have created the up-roar of Bala ( following an answer in the
affirmative) for Your saying of Alast rabba kum. ("Am I not your
131
Lord?") The loudness of this cry in available in the world and in

the sky, which is happening due to the fondness of Alast (day of
creation). When the pious person said this and heard a divine call
in which it was said “Heard the reply. Your will and your wish
will be fulfilled. It means I will divide your presence into the
number of the particles and show all those particles of your body
My Dedar (sight) and when I will say that these are 70,000 years
and will keep the balance separately.”
In this situation he said “ One learned person used to say this
daily that every person will used to like something. But he did
not like anything. So he could not sacrifice himself in this matter.
Even there will be destruction of the seven earths and skies, but
he will not demand anything for himself. Then in the shock of
overwhelming, he said “ He want to see Him, but he did not like
to see Him and not liked Him. So what is the work of the man
with a desire and wishes?.”
Once one pious person who said “ We have ignored, from
carelessness and when we reached in the court then find Him
before us and whatever we were needed, which were given to us
due to the kind grace of Allah.”
Once one pious person said “ When we have ignoring from us
the carelessness and we have reached in the court of Allah and
then it was found that we will present there after the other
persons and whatever we were needed were given to us due to
the kind grace of Allah.It means divine lights (Tajjilat) of
Allah’s Dedar (sight) was available there.
In this situation he said “ One pious used to say “ When
he was out of veil like the snake from ecdysis (layer of skin) and
was looking over that the lover and beloved and found both of
them were like one in togetherness it means one in the world
of Touhid (unity of Allah) and so there is nothing available
other than the unity there.So you was seen one there.”
Afterward, he said “ When the condition of Arif (learned
person) will be perfect then he will come out from hundred
132
thousand places and he will watch the progress of his work. If he

will not come out of that place then he will remain in such a
place in the condition of surprise. It means he was still on the
bank side and he does not know about the path and for this reason
he will waste himself.”
He said Hadrat Ba Yazid said “He was in Haq (truth) since
three years, but I have been given my mirror it means whatever
he was seeing was not there and Shirkat (participation), Takbar
(pride), Khudi (ego) was no more there because he was not there.
Because Allah is his mirror and whatever I would say this is my
mirror and which actually said by Allah in this matter by my
tongue and in the middle of this I am not concerned.”
Afterward, he said Ba Yazid said “ He was custodian of that
shrine for a period of many years. At last except regret he could
not get anything in this matter. When he came in the court there
was no difficulty with me. The people of the world were busy in
the world and the people of other worlds were busy in the other
world. Claimant in claims and the people of pity in the pity and
some were in eating and drinking and some were busy in the
ecstasy (Sama and dancing. Some were there with the king and
were busy in the sea of Ejaz (humbleness).”
Afterwards he said this event “ For a long time he was used to
circummbulate around the Holy Ka’ba in Makkah but now the
Holy Ka’aba used to circummbulate around him.Then he said “
When he was become God fearing person then in one night due to
the love he was demanding his heart, but in the morning time he
was heard a divine call in which said “ Oh : Ba Yazid you are
demanding other than Us and what you concerned with the
heart?”
Afterwards on this situation he said “ Arif (pious person) is
such person where ever he lives and whatever he will demand,
then he will get the thing and to whom he will talk and he will get
a reply from him. On this way that person is not Arif if such
person who will demand the other things and not demand for
133
Allah.”
Afterwards he said “ The status of the Arif is such person that
when he will reach on the status, then he will look the world and
all that is in it within their fingers. So when Ba Yazid was asked
how far he was progressing in the Tariqat (mystic) way?, then he
was replied that “Up to such place that he can watch in between
of his two fingers and find there this world and all that is in it ”.
Then he said “The disciple will find pleasure in the obedience
and he will find the pleasure when he will feel happiness and
pleasure in the obedience and with this happiness he will come
near the veil.” Afterward, he told “ The low status of the Arif
person is such that in him the attribute of the Haq (truth) are
finding him.”
Once Rabia of Basra said due to overwhelming of fondness “
Oh: Darwesh persons if she will be put into the fire instead of the
mankind, then she will be patient in this matter because she is
claimant of love. So it is like that she did not do anything. If her
sins will be forgiven for the sake of the mankind due to His
kindness, mercy and favour. Till now I have not done many
things.”
Then he said “ To suspicion about anything about the religion
of the people of Saluk (mystics) is a sin.” He said again “ It is
worse than sin because of sin one time it is made repentance, but
it is made repentance for this for 1000 times with sincerity. It
means self-conceit is a great sin.”
The status of perfection in the love of Haq (truth)
He said the status of Arif persons in the love of the Haq is that
“First, he should show his light of the heart and when someone
will come to him and claimant then he should convince him with
the help of the miracle.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he was travelling towards Madina
along with Khaja Ohud Kirmani and Khaja Harun Usmani, when
134
we have reached in Damascus, where we have seen 12,000

mausoleums of the prophets were there in front of the mosque
where the wishes and desires of the persons are fulfilled who visit
there. We have visited the mausoleum of the prophets and asked
about the pious persons there.
One day with Khaja Ohud Kirmani and Khaja Harun Usmani
we met one pious person who was Wasil (union) of Haq (truth)
and whose name was Darwesh Mohammed Arif in the mosque of
Damascus and some other Darwesh persons were sitting along
with him there and the discussion was in progress about the thing
that when any person claiming of the something then unless he
will not show it to the persons how they can know in this matter.?
So one person who was participating in the discussion and
arguing with Mohammed Arif and Mohammed Arif was telling
him that on the day of judgment the Darwesh persons will be
excused and the account of the deeds of the wealthy persons will
be settled. With this saying that person was upset and he said in
which book it was written about this.? Khaja Mohammed Arif
could not able to remember the name of the book.
So he did a meditation and he was informed about the book.
That person told him unless he will not show the book he will not
accept this. So he raised his head and he said “ The book which
was shown to the people of Allah should be kept before this
person so that he could see it.” Then there was a command for
the angels to show the book in which that matter was written to
that person.” That person stood and accepted in this matter and
he was falling on his foot. And he said “ These are the brave
persons of Allah.”
The miracles of the pious persons
Afterward the discussion was started that the persons who are
in this meeting should show their miracles. Upon hearing Khaja
Haruni put his hand under the prayer mat and take out one fist full
135
of gold coins from there and he was given to one Darwesh person
who was there and he asked him to bring sweets to the Darwesh
persons. Upon this miracle Sheikh Ohud Kirmani put his hand on
the wood which was lying there and due to the order of Allah it
was converted into gold. Due to the presence of my spiritual
master I could not show anything. Then Khaja Usman Haruni
addressed me and said “Why he did not say in this matter?.”
There was one hungry Derwesh was there due to shame and he
could not ask in this matter. So I have taken out the four breads of
barley from the rag dress and given to him. That Darwesh and
Khaja Mohammed Arif said “ If there is no power in the Darwesh
persons, then he cannot be called the Darwesh person.”
Afterwards he said “ One Darwesh person used to say that
from the time when he was declared enemy the world, then from
that time he could not go near the mankind. He was given
preference to Allah than the mankind. There was very much
overwhelming of the love for me so I began thinking the enemy
of my existence and was taken out of the middle the life and
death and began to love the existence and love of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “It is written about Saluk (mysticism) that
on the day of judgement when there will command for the special
persons of love will be sent to the paradise then they will say
that what they will do with paradise.? The paradise should be
given to such person who have worshipped for greed of it.”
Afterwards Khaja Saheb said “ When the sight will be given to
somebody, then what he will do with the paradise?. Then he said “
If it is possible to get existence and if it is not possible, then
understand it that the following things which move like wind on
you.”
1. Capability
2. Zahed (ascetic)
Afterward Khaja Saheb began weeping and he said “ On this
way many brave persons were become helpless and many
helpless persons were become brave.
136
In this situation he said “ There will be no damage from the

sin than to disgrace the Muslim brother and doing disrespect
him.”
Afterward, he said “ There was one Derwesh person who was
very pious and he has a union of Haq. And he was used to say, “
Many people of the world were becoming disabled on the way of
the world. The people of other world are in the pleasure in the
happiness of the friendship of Allah. And the people of Maraft
(knowledge of Allah) are Noor al Noor (wonderful). This is a
secret which is known by the people of Saluk (mysticism). The
worship of the people Marafat will be busying themselves in a
special remembrance of Allah.”
Afterward, he said when “ The Arif person will be silent, then it
should be understood that he is talking to Allah. When he will
close his eyes it means that at the time when he sleeps, he will
not lift his head so that angel Israfil will not blow the trumpet
(Sur).”
The identification of Allah
Afterwards he said “ Khaja Zanoon of Egypt used to say one

who will find the identification (discovery) of Allah in the
silence and so he will flee from the mankind. In this situation he
said “ Once Khaja Shuja Kirmani was asked for how many years
he got the identification.?” He said “When he got identification,
then he was fled from the mankind.”
Afterward, he said “One who have recognized Allah and then if
he did not flee from the mankind, so then understand that there is
no grace in him. In this situation he said Arif is such person who
should take out whatever the things from his heart so that he
should become unique like his friend. Then Allah will not
conceal anything from him and also he will not care about the
both worlds.”
Afterwards he told by his holy tongue that “ The perfection of
137
Airf person is that he should move himself on the path of Allah.”

Afterward, he said “On the day of judgment the thing which
will take to the paradise is not Zahed (asceticism), action and not
his knowledge) but his pain of the love.”
He then said “ Even the Arif person, whatever he say about
Marifat (knowledge of Allah) and he will wander in the lane of
the friend and he discloses some secrets of Marifat but he will not
get Marifat unless he will not remember Marif (Allah) and then
he will not become Arif person.”
Afterward, he said “The complainant of the persons of love is
due to the fondness and desire which will remain till the finding
of the friend. Because the lover will make loud and cry till he will
not get the union of the beloved. When he will see the beloved
then in between his speech is left.”
He told by his holy tongue that “When the water flows in the
river and makes loud and cry there when it will fall in the sea
then there will be no sound of it. In this way there will be the
union of the lover with the beloved and there will be no loud and
cry of the lover will be there on this matter.”
Upon this he said “ He was heard from Khaja Haruni that
there are some friends of Allah are there if there will be a veil for
even one moment, then they will be destroyed and will not able to
do worship of Allah.”
Afterwards on this situation he said “Once Khaja Abdullah
Hanif was engaged himself in the work of world by mistake.
When he remembered this and he thought it was against the will
of a friend. So he was sworn that till his life he will not engage in
the work of the world. As he was living for a period of fifty years,
but he did not engage himself in the work of the world.”
After this he said about loud and cry of love of BA Yazid
Bustami “ He was used to stand on his one foot in the morning
after the prayer and he used to complain on this matter and one
day he heard a divine call in which heard the following. “ Yaum
tabbal araz”. It meant at that time there will be union possible
138
when there this earth will be rolled and other earth will be
created.”
Afterward on this situation he said “ Once Ba Yazid Bustami
went into the jungle of Bustam. In the world of fondness and
desire he was complaining that whatever the jungle which is seen
by him and in which he was found the falling down the rain of
love was there and he wants to take out his leg from there but he
could not take it out.”
Then he said “ The path of love is such that one who will adopt
this way, then his name and sign will be finished.” In this
situation he said “ The people of Irfan (intimate knowledge of
Allah) will not say anything from their tongues except the
remembrance of Allah. Upon this he said “ The lowest thing
which is disclosed by Arif person is that he will not busy with
the ownership and wealth.”
Afterward, he began weeping and he said “It is Haq (truth) that
in His (Allah) friendship if we spend the two worlds then it is not
more.”
Upon this he said “Even though the people of love are Mahajur
(forsaken) in the love, but they will do the work of sleepy persons
and if they wake up, then they will demand for the object
(Matlub) and they are not busy for the demand of the friend. They
are busy in the observation of their beloved. The beloved is such
that who sit to see and watch the lover. There will be the work of
sincerely and obedient persons, which is found on the path of
love.
Afterward, he said “Khaja Samoon Muhib says when the hearts
of the pious person of Allah are obedient in this matter, then they
will not tolerate the burden of Marafat (the knowledge of Allah)
and love so they busies themselves in the worship of Allah. But
they will not bear the special burden because there will be grief
for them due to the endeavour and mystical exercise.”
Upon this he said “ The Arif is that person one who should
promise that he will obtain his Matlub (object) in one of his
139
breath. In the Arif’s every breath there will be available

remembrance (Zikar) of Allah. And who will sacrifice all his life
for these breaths. Those who will engage themselves in Zikar
(remembrance of Allah) and such holy breaths and if which will
be searched in the sky and the earth and then it will not be found
there. For such breaths if it will be searched into the earth and
skies for many years, but he will not find them there.”
Afterward, he said “He was heard by his spiritual master Khaja
Usman Haruni that if there will be following three qualities
which will be found in any person then think him that Allah keeps
him his friend.”
1. Generosity.
2. Shafaqat (favour)
3. Tawaze (humility)
The generosity should be like the river

The kindness (Shafaqat) should be like the sun
The humility (Tawaze) should be like the earth
Afterward, he said the Hajjies who used to busy in the
circummbulation of the Holy Ka’aba in Makkah with their hearts,
but they could not able to get observation there, but the people of
love who busied themselves in the circummbulation of the veil of
greatness and if they look other than this then they complain on
this matter as they would like to watch the observation of his
friendly only.”
The world of love is one secret
Afterward, he said “ In the Saluk (mysticism) the world of love

for which many 100,000 learned persons want to understand
about it but it was not being understood a little to them. By Zahed
(asceticism) there is such obedience which is not even known to
Zahed persons and they are careless about it and this is the secret
140
which is out of the two worlds which is only known by the people
of fondness and the people of love.”
Afterwards he said “ If it is known by such persons who are
firmly in the both worlds and one who knows them and he will
not see them and so after this he will leave his claimant so that
to keep him in the condition of grief.”
Afterward, he said “ With passion and love there will be
conversation, action and engagement which is prevail there and
which will prevail up to outside of the veil and when they enter
into inside of the court there will be rest, silence and peace which
will prevail there. So there will no complain and loud and cry
will not be prevailed there.”
Afterward, he said “ There is no such courage which will
prevail so that Khaja (master) will not recognize the shrine of the
real friend and he was becoming a lover of himself. When there
will be observation available upon him, then there will be no
conversation and complaints.”
When Khaja Saheb was ended the above benefits so all
persons and myself left the meeting place.
10.
The effects of the good and bad company
On the Thursday the wealth of kissing the feet of the Khaja

Saheb was available to me. There were many pious persons and
persons of Saluk (mysticism) available at the meeting place.
There was discussion about the good, company was in progress.
He told by his holy tongue that “In the Hadith (saying) of the
holy prophet it is mentioned “ Al-suhbat al-touser” it means there
is surely there is the effect of the company. If any bad person
follows the company of the pious persons, then there is hope that
he will become a better person. If the good person will follow
the company of bad persons, then he will become a bad person.
Because whatever the better person will get due to the company
141
only. ”
The grace which will be available due to the company of pious

persons only.
The wise king
When the caliphate was available to Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab

(R.A.) and at that time the King of Iraq who was defeated in the
war and he was becoming a prisoner of war and was presented to
him. The caliph of Islam said to him, “ To accept the Islam
otherwise he will be killed.” He was refused in this matter. So the
caliph said “ Aman in Isalam wa ma in saif” “It means to accept
the religion of Islam otherwise you will be killed.”The king
refused again. So he was asked to bring the sword. That king was
very wise. When he was seen such situation, then he told him that
he is thirsty and need some water to drink.
Caliph Umar commanded to give him water in the glass of
the cup. He told that “He does not want to drink water in that
cup.” So the caliph told “ To bring the water in the cup made of
gold or silver as he is the king.” But the king was told “ He will
drink water in a cup made of the earth.” When the water brought
in the cup of earth for him for his drink, then the king told him
that “To make an agreement with him that till he will drink the
water he will not be killed.”
So the caliph was, agreed that he will not be killed till he will
drink the water. The king put down the water pot on the ground.
So it was broken and water was flown on the ground. Then he
said to him, “You have promised not to kill me till drinking of the
water.” So he was surprised for his wisdom in this matter and he
told him he was forgiven him and Hazrat Umar hand over him to
one pious and ascetic person. When he was staying in the
company of pious persons for some period of time, so there was
an effect of that person on him. He was sent message to him to
142
call to him so that he will accept the religion of Islam. When he

was accepted into the religion of Islam, then Hazrat Umar bin
Qattab (R.A.) told him “He was given back the kingdom of
Iraq.” But he told him “ He is not in need of the country, but he
should be given to him one ruin village of the Iraq country which
should be sufficient for his means of livelihood.” He was accepted
in his request and send his men to Iraq and upon hard search and
investigation, no ruin village was not found in the country of
Iraq. When this was informed to the king then he told him “He
wants to say that he was given to the country of Iraq to him in
such condition that there is no ruin village in Iraq is there and
after that if any village will become ruin, then he should be asked
in this matter on the day of judgment before Allah.” Then the
caliph of Islam began weeping and told how this king is great
wise and intelligent person.?
Afterward, he said he was heard by Khaja Saheb Haruni that “
The people will not become eligible for the name of Fakir
(Darwesh) unless the left side angle will not write anything for
him a period of eight years. It means during that period he did not
commit any sin”
Afterward, he said there are some Arif persons are there who
did not require anything from Allah. Upon this he said “ In such
Arif person there is piety (Taqwa) is available, but he will get
only illegitimate food by begging.”
Afterward, he said “ One day he was heard by Junaid of
Baghdad that when was asked with saint of Tariqa (mystic way)
of love what is the result of the love.? He said “The result of love
is that there should be intoxication and fondness towards Allah
to that extent which is related to him. But when Allah keeps any
persons as his friend then that friend will be moved within the
paradise.”
Upon this Khaja Moinuddin said with his tongue “The people
of love and people of mysticism are similar in the matter that both
are obedient and there will be fear upon them that whether they
143
will be separated from there.

Afterward, he said he was seen in ‘Ketab Mohabat’ in the
handwriting of his teacher Moulana Shrafuddin who was a man of
exegesis that Khaja Shibli was asked “ In spite of a lot of sincerity
and mystical exercises which you have done and which you have
already sent forward but why there is so much fear with you.?”
He said “Due to two things. First, it should not be said that he is
not eligible for Him and he will send away from His court.
Secondly, at the time of death if I will take faith with safety, then
he will think that he was doing something otherwise, I will think
that I have wasted all my deeds and sincerity.”
Afterward, once one person asked Hazrat Shibli about the love
and he was asking “Whether it is a sign of misfortune.? He said
“Do disobedience and hope for the acceptance.” Upon this he was
asked “What is a real thing with Arif persons.?” He said “To keep
silence always and live in the condition of grief and sorrow.
Because of this there will be available excellence of the Arif
persons.” And he said “ In the world, there are three dear things
are there.
1.The A’lim (scholar) who speaks with his knowledge
2.Un-greedy person
3.That Arif person, one who describes the attributes of his friend.
Who is the Sufi and Arif person.?
Afterward, he said “Once Hazrat Zan Noon of Egypt was

sitting in the mosque of Kakri in Baghdad along with the persons
of Tariqa (mystic way) and there was discussion about the love
was in progress. One Sufi person asked “Who is called Sufi and
Arif.?” Khaja Saheb said “ Sufi and Arif are such persons whose
hearts are free from the following things.
1. Kuadrat (ill-will)
2. Bashirat (human nature)
144
3. The world and its love
When there will be the above qualities in them, then they will
obtain higher status and position, and they will become pious
among the mankind and they will run from enemies and they will
become the belonging of Allah and so they will not become the
owners or the Mamluk (slave).
Upon this he said “ The Sufism is custom and it is not the
knowledge and this is available in the soul of the lovers.”
And this is the manner of all categories of Mashaiq (learned
persons) who were as per “ Tuqliqu bill Iqlaq Allah.” Because it
is to come out from the mankind and which is not possible with
the help of custom and the knowledge.
Upon this he said “ The Arif is the enemy of the world and he
is a friend of Allah. As he is disgusted from the world so he is not
aware in this matter and there will be no news for him about
hatred and greed.”
Afterward, he was asked “Why the Arif person used to weep
very much.? He replied “Yes, but he will weep till he will be on
the way and when he will reach near the realities of nearness,
then he gets a visual meeting, then he will stop weeping there.”
Upon this he said “There are some lovers of Allah who are silent
due to the friendship of Allah. They are unaware of anything in
the world and its existing things.”
Afterward, he said “ In the heart in which there is firmness of
friendship, of Allah is there and for him it is expedient that he
should keep the news of the both worlds and if he will not do that
then he is not a true friend of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “Once he saw Khaja Dawood Tai who
came out of his hut while the closing of his eyes and there was
one Darwesh person who was present in his service. He has said
“For the period of 45 years his eyes are closed so that he could
not see anything other than Allah. Because it is not love that there
is friendship with Allah and to see the un-related person.”
145
Afterward, he said “He heard from a pious person that on the

day of judgment Allah will command the angels to study the deed
of the pious persons, whether they claimed the friendship of Allah
and they have any link in their hearts with the unrelated thing.
Those are such pious persons who do not have peace in any work
except his friend.”
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Abu Saeed Abul Khair use to say
when Allah wants to make any person His friend then He will
overwhelm His love of Him. And the second time when his
condition will become like that then His friend will bring him in
the lodge of individualism so that he will become eternal there.
Then he said “When Arif person contact toward Allah and
then the connection will be established there, then he will become
resident in the destination of the nearness. Upon this when he
will be asked “Where you were and what do you want.?. Then he
will reply except for that he was with “Allah.”
In this situation he said if asked about “ Afan sharah Allah
sadrau “ (Who has lighted to his chest) “ What it is? So in this
matter, it should be said “ When the sight of Arif will be at world
of Wahidant (unity of Allah) and the majesty of the providence,
then he will become blind so he should not see the un-related.”
Afterward, he said once he was arrived in Bukhara as a
traveller and where he was seen a person who was very busy in
the worship of Allah, but he was blind person. I have asked him
for how many years he was becoming blind?. He said “ When his
work was becoming perfect in Wahidaniat (unity of Allah) and
Jalal (majesty) and he was began looking for the greatness
(Azmat) and then one day when he was sitting and his look was
fallen on the un-related thing and he was heard a divine call in
which it was said “ Oh: claimant you claim of Our love and you
look at the un-related thing and when he was heard this call he
was become ashamed in the matter and he could not say
anything. So he prayed in the court of Allah that the eye, which
was seen the un-related thing should become blind and even this
146
conversation was continued and I was becoming a blind person of

two eyes.”
Afterward, he said “ When Allah created prophet Adam (A.S.)
and asked him to pray. It means to stay in the prayer. And take
care of the heart in the company and the soul should take a rest in
the destination of nearness and head to get a union. This is the
reason of the creation of the mankind with Allah.”
Upon this he said “ When a pious person of the mystic way
used to put his head in the prostration then he used to pray to
raise him blind on the day of judgement.” When he asked the
reason, then he said “The person who sees his friend and for him
it is not good to look over the un-related thing on the day of
judgement.”
Afterward the discussion was started about Darweshi
(mysticism). He said “The name of Darweshi (mysticism) is that
whoever will come to see him, then he should give him
something and he should not leave without getting anything
from him. If he will be hunger, then he will be provided with
food. If he will be in the nake condition then the fine dress will
be given to him. So he will not give permission to anybody to go
without empty hands. After asking the condition of needy person
then that person’s help should be done.”
The pious person will not return with empty hands
He said “Once Khaja Haruni and one Darwesh person were

travelling together. We found Sheikh Bahauddin Bakhtiar Oushi a
great pious person of his time. In his shrine there was a rule that
every visitor will not go without empty hands. If anybody will be
in the naked condition then he will use to give him a fine dress
and still the process of giving the dress continues, then by an
invisible source at such time the same extra dress used to come
there.”
So I spent some days in his presence. His first advise which
147
was given me was that “Whatever we get should be given on the

way of Allah and should not be kept even one penny with us so
that to get the friendship of Allah.”
He said “ Oh: Darwesh one who got grace only by the above
reason.” Then he said one event that “ There was one Darwesh
who was very poor and but his habit was that whatever he used to
get from the amount of victories, then he will use to distribute
that amount among the Darwesh persons and he use to live in his
house. Once two Darwesh saints visited him and asked him
water. The Darwesh came from the inside of his house with two
breads of barley and with a pot of water because they were
hungry. Both of them ate the bread and drank water. While
looking each other they said “The Derwish person was doing his
work and now we should do our work.”One of them said “He
should be given the world and other said due to the world he will
be misguided.” The other Darwesh replied the Darwesh are
people of generosity so they should be given this world instead
of the other world.” They prayed for him and left from that place.
Then the Derwish was becoming a perfect man and in his public
kitchen there were 1,000 Maunds of food was cooked daily and
which was provided to the mankind.
Afterward, he said “The lover is that person on the way of love
and who should leave his heart of the two worlds. It means he
should not take an interest in the two worlds.”
The four meanings of the love
Afterwards Khaja Saheb told there are four meanings of the

love are there which is mentioned as follows.
First in the remembrance of Allah to be happy by his heart and

soul.
Second, to think the remembrance of Haq (truth) as a great thing.
Third to disconnect the relations of the world.
148
Fourth on his condition and besides all other’s conditions he

should weep as there is instruction in this matter in the holy Quran
“ Qul an kana abawakum wa abanwakum wa aqwanakum wa
azwajukum alaq” and it is the quality of the lovers is that their
love should be sacrificed for this meaning and they should pass
from the following four places of love, knowledge, modesty and
respect.
Then he said “ In the love that person is truly one who
disconnect with his father, kith and kins and get the relation of
Allah and his prophet. So the lover is that person who follows the
orders of the Quran and he should be true in the friendship of Haq
(truth).”
Afterward, he said “ The sacrifice of the lovers is indifferent to
all other things except for the of love Allah. The sacrifice of
Majnoon (desperate in love) is not disclosing his desire.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Rabia of Basra was asked who is
Arif person.? She said “ One who will turn down the world and
whatever he posses should be spent in the way of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ The quality of the lover is that he should
possess the sincerity in the love.” Then he said “ In the world the
best thing is to sit with the Darwesh person and should disclose
whatever he has in his heart to a fellow Darwesh person and
discuss with him all details clearly. And the worse thing is that the
Darwesh person should live separately from another Darwesh
person. If such condition prevails, then there will be no Marafat
(knowledge of Allah) with him.”
Afterward, he said “ The friendship of Allah is created by
leaving such things which Allah thinks His enemy so one should
have enmity with those things e.g. the world and the soul.”
Afterward, he said “ When Arif person will become perfect.?
At that time when the speech is not available in between and it
will happen that either friend live or he.?”
Afterward, he said with his tongue “ In Arif person, that person
is truly one who does not possess anything with him or he does
149
not belong to anybody.”

Afterward, he said “ Once Khaja Salman Muhib was discussing
about love and at that time one bird came there and sat on his
head. For the few times his beak touched him and then the bird
sat on his hand and after that the bird sat on his armpit and at last
she sat on the earth. Due to touching of the beak on the earth by a
few times the blood discharge was started from her beak and she
was falling down to the earth and died.”
When Khaja Sahib was finished the above benefits, then myself
and all other persons left the meeting place.
11.
The trust of Arif persons
On the Wednesday I was blessed with the wealth of kissing the

feet of the Sheikh. Maulana Bahauddin who was a man of
exegesis, Sheikh Ohud Kirmai and some other Darwesh persons
were present there in the meeting place. The discussion about the
trust of Arif persons was started. He told by holy tongue “ The
trust of Arif persons is that they should not have trust other than
Allah and should not pay attention to other things.”
Then he said “ In reality Mutwakil (resigned to will of the
Allah) is such person, one who will not desire of the help from
the creations or complaint about the difficulties nor disclose its
details.”
Afterwards he said “ Angel Gabriel said to prophet Ibrahim
(A.S.) what he is needed?. He said “Not from you”. Because he
was out of the connection with his soul, but he was got
observation of innermost with Allah.”
Afterwards he said “ For the people of trust during the fondness
of divine lights, there will come one time and at that time if they
will break into pieces or hurt by the sword or there will be grief
or sorrow which will reach for them but they will not know in
this matter.”
150
Afterwards he said “ The people of trust will have such trust

on Haq (truth) so they will live in the condition of surprise in
the world of intoxication.
Afterwards he said “When Khaja Junaid of Baghdad was
asked who is Arif person.? He said “ One who disconnect from
the following three things.
1. I’lim (knowledge)
2. Action
3.Khilwat (closet)
When there was a call of “Asa Adam ” was heard, then all
things wept on the condition of Adam except the gold and silver.
Allah asked them, “Why they have not wept.?” They said “ The
one who is not obedient to You so for him we will not weep.”
Allah said “ By swearing in the name of His respect and majestic
that your value and whatever is there with you will be shown to
them and We will make them your servant.”
Afterwards he said “ When the lover will claim for the
kingdom, then he will be degraded from the status of love.”
Afterwards on this situation he said “ The love is the claim of
the faithfulness with the union and Hurmat Batil it means the
observation of indigence is like such a friend which take care of
the soul, ears and head in the obligatory prayers.
What is willingness of the love.?
Afterwards he said “Once Junaid of Baghdad asked about the

willingness of the love.”? He said “ If the seven hells will be put
on his right hand with their greatness and horror, then he should
not say to put on his left hand.”
Upon this, on this situation he said “ The first thing which
was made obligatory for the human beings is Marafat (the
knowledge of Allah) “Wama Khalaqtul Jinna Wal Insa Illa li-
ya’budoon.” “We have created Jinn and human beings for our
151
worship.”
Afterwards he said “ Allah due to his wisdom is kept something
concealed in other things.”
Upon this he said “ In the secrets of pious persons it was written
that when Allah will give re-birth the friends due to His light and
Tajaliat (divine light) then they will behave that observation
which was enabled to holy prophet of Allah. Because Allah is
without tongue, without soul, without place, without direction.
For this reason the prophet of Allah was describing the attributes
of Allah as explained as follows.
So with the help of Allah and through Allah, he got eternity of
time and space because he got lost in the attributes of Allah and
became free from time and space.”
The true lover
Afterward, he said “ On the day of judgment “ Amanna WA

sadaqana”. Doubtless we believe in and testify to the truth and
which will make the lovers as true lovers. If there will questioned
whether there will be the lover among those lovers who claim to
the love?. But if one he could not prove his truthfulness, then he
will be become regret in this matter. And he will not able to show
his face among the lovers and at that time there will be divine call
will be heard in which it will be said “The lover was not among
true lovers so he should be taken out from them.”
Upon this he said by his holy tongue that “ The people of love
are those people who will hear only the talk of the friend.” As per
Hadith (saying) of the holy prophet “ Al-hadith al-qalbi rabbi”. It
means the hearts of the lovers will hear only the talk of Allah.”
Afterwards he said “ When the person of love will die then he
will be forgiven immediately.”
Upon this he said “ He was seen one Daresweh person who was
dying in the jungle and he was laughing there.” He asked him
“You are dead, but why you are laughing.” He said “It was the
152
willingness of the love of Allah.”

Afterward, he said about this situation “The heart is one which
should be such that it should be temporary as per his condition,
but it should be eternal in the observation of the friendliest and
Allah should be overpowering on his actions and he should not
have confidence in himself and so he will have no consistency up
to the empyrean.”
He said “ Once Malik Bin Dinar was asked how is doing the
service of the friends of Allah? He said “One who does service
of the friends of Allah, then he will be get sure of the union.”
Afterwards he said “ When Rabia of Basra was asked “Which
is the best action among all actions.?” She said “ To spend out his
schedule of the timings in the remembrance of Allah.”
One who claimed for his piousness and in which, if there will
be find his desire, then he is a liar person.
In the claim of the love such person is brave one who is
ignoring his wish and so he should opt for the desire of Haq
(truth). Then at that time he will be deserved to become the friend
of Allah. If at that time Allah will tell him his friend then he
should reply of slavery only. Because there is no name of lovers
or reply or custom is there in this matter.
Afterward, he said “ He was heard by Khaja Haruni that the
lovers will not pay attention towards un-related except the friend.
Because one who feel will happiness without the friend then he
will face grief because he is not happy with the service of the
friend and he is having the wildness with all other things. One
who will not have love with the friend and he will become
insignificant.”
Afterward, he said “ The Arif is such person when he will
wake up in the morning and he does not know about the night.”
Afterward Khaja Saheb began weeping and said “ Oh: careless
to start the preparation of the provisions for a journey which is
expected it means death. Upon this he said “ The group of love is
a such group and there is no veil in between them and Allah.”
153
Afterward, he said “ In the love Arif is such person and who

will not feel anything strange. Because the acceptance of the
claim is not there for one thing and which is given by his hand in
this matter.
Upon this he said “ The best time is that then there will no
doubt and thought is not there in the heart and there will be
freedom of the persons. Upon this he said “ Those who are given
love are also given indigence and wildness so that they become
not attracted towards the world.”
Afterwards he said “ the Arif person say the belief is in place
of light with which the man is enlighten then he will attain the
status and perfection of Majnu (desperately in love) and pious
persons.”
The originality of the man
Afterward, he said “ The man is made up of water and earth

and if there is water is overwhelming in him then if he will with
pleasure and mystical exercise, then he will look the grace of
Allah with pride, then he will not become successful in this matter
and if the earth is overwhelming in one person then he will
become a pious person at the time of hardness and he will
become suitable for any work.”
Afterward, he said “ When Allah wants to create the cloud
then mix all the colours and all tastes. Then he mixed all the
colours so the colour of the water is created and when all tests are
mixed, then the taste of the water is created. With the drinking of
water we will get our lives, but we do not know its taste.
Everything is getting its life due to water only.”
Afterward, one Darwesh person who was present in the
meeting asked who was Majnu (desperately in love)? He said “
One who will become nothing in the beginning of love and who
will get lost in the second and third stages.” He asked “What is
mortal and eternal?” He said “ The mortal and eternal is Haq
154
(truth) and the eternal is for the eternal of Haq (truth) and the
mortal is for mortal of the soul.” He asked “What is Tajrid
(abstract)?’. He said “To keep the attributes of the beloved in the
mind is called Tajrid.” So it is said “ One who will love Him, then
he will become his ears and eyes.”
Upon this he said “ In Multan, he was heard by one pious
person that there are three kinds of repentance of the lovers are as
follows.”
1. Regret
2. To leave sins
3. To keep oneself away from cruelty and hostility.
Afterward, he said “ The Knowledge is such thing which is
comprehending and Maraft (knowledge of Allah) is its part. So
where is Allah and where is the man and this knowledge is with
Allah only and who knows well about these two things.”
Afterward, he said “ Unless the head of the Arif is not become
pure, then any action is not become clear.”
Then he said “ To whom He will keep as his friend then on
him, He will send the calamities on his head.There are three
things in the true repentance are as follows.
1. To eat less for the fasting
2. To sleepless for the sincerity
3. To less talk for the supplication
From the first thing there will be fear and from the second
and third things there will be created the love. So under fear it
comes to leave the sins so that there will be salvaged from the
fire. Under hope it comes for sincerity which makes it possible to
get a position in the paradise and to get a perpetual life there.
Under the subject of love there is a exertion in thinking is required
so that to enable to get willingness of Haq (truth).” He said “ In
the love Arif is such person who will not keep his friend except
for the remembrance (Zikar) of Allah.”
When Khaja Saheb explained the above details then he began
weeping and he said “ Now I start my journey to such a place
155
where he will be buried. It means he goes to Ajmare city in India.

At that time Ajmare was populated with full of Hindu persons and
there was no propagation of Islam in Ajmare. When the holy feet
of Khaja Saheb were reached there then there was very much
progress and the propagation of Islam in Ajmare was found that
it is limitless.
12.
The angel of the death
On the Thrusday I blessed by kissing the feet of Khaja

Saheb and this is the last meeting in the grand mosque of Ajmare
and the following persons were present there at the meeting
place.
1.Darwesh persons
2. The pious persons
3. Disciples
The discussion about the angel of death was in progress. He
was told by his holy tongue, that “Without the angel of death the
value of the world is less than the grains of barley. When asked
why.? Because in the saying of holy last prophet of Allah it is
mentioned “ Al-maut jasar yuwasal al-habeeb ela al-habeeb”. It
means the death is a pathway which will make meeting of the
friend with his friend.” Or meeting of two friends.”
He then said “ The friend is that person one who should
remember his friend by his heart because the hearts are created for
the friends only. Specially, it was created that it should
circumambulation around the empyrean.” As per saying of Allah
“ Oh: my slave when your remembrance of Allah (Zikar) is
overwhelming for you then I will become your friend. It means
you are loved by Me.”
Afterwards he said “ The Arif is like the sun, which shines the
world and nothing is left without its light.” After explaining the
above benefits Khaja Saheb began weeping and he said “ He was
156
going on the journey to the place where he will be buried there. In

a few days I leave from this place. At that time Sheikh Ali Sanjari
was present there. He was given orders “ To write a testimonial of
caliphate and to be given to Sheikh Bakhtiar Kaki so that he
should proceed to Delhi. Because we have given him caliphate
and that place (Delhi) is belongs to him.”
When that certificate was finished with him so it was given to
me. So I was paying respect to him. So he was ordered me to
come close to him. When I went near to him then he was put on a
turban and a cap on my head and he gave me also the staff of
Khaja Usman Haruni and put on the waistcoat to me. Also a holy
book of Quran and prayer mat was given by him. And he said “
All these things which belongs to the holy prophet of Allah are
coming in the chain of the pious personalities in Chistia (name
of Muslim mystical school) order as custody. We are sending
you with all these things. In the same way our ancestors were
given these things to us. So you also forward these things and
fulfil its duties properly so that we will not be ashamed before
the Khajgans (masters) of Chistia order on the day of judgment.
I have paid respect to Khaja Saheb. Khaja Saheb prayed two
Rakat Nafil (supererogatory) prayers and told me “ To go I have
surrendered to Allah and I have taken you to the destination with
respect.”
Four fine Jewels.
There are four fine Jewels
Afterward, he said “ There are four things which are as called

fine jewels which are as follows.
First the Derwesh who should declare himself as a wealthy
person.
Secondly the hungry person who should show himself as full of
stomach
157
Third the sad person who should proclaim himself as a happy

person.
Fourth with an enemy one should look to him as his friend.
Afterward, he said “ The status of people of love is so great that

if he will ask whether he was performed the night prayer, then he
should say that there is no time with him. We will run all-around
the angel of death and where he goes from there we will catch
him.”
Khaja Saheb was explaining the above details and I was
wanting to kiss his feet and leave the meeting place. Because he
belongs to the category of pious persons so he was able to know
my intention and asked me to come near to him. So I stood and
put my head on his feet. After reciting Sura Fateha, Khaja Saheb
said “ Do not become sad and like dead.” So I have paid respect
to him and came back to Delhi.
When I reached in Delhi then all leaders and pious persons
came to visit me there. When I reached back to Delhi and forty
days were passed. I have received the news that twenty days after
my departure from Ajmare city Khaja Saheb left this mortal
world.
On that night with a broken heart while sitting on the prayer
mat I was sleeping there and was seen Khaja Saheb was standing
in the land of the empyrean of Allah. I put my head on his feet
and asked him about his affairs?. He said “ Allah forgave him and
he was allotted place near cherubs (angels) and residents of the
empyrean and he will stay there.
THE END.

Introduction

This is a very old book written by great Sufi saint Khaja

Fariduddin Ganj Shaker about the advice and discourses of his
spiritual master Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki Oushi and which was
translated from Persian into Urdu language and the first time I
was translating this book in English. This translation of the most
ancient and celebrated Persian magazine on Sufi’ism will, I hope,
be found useful not only by the number of students familiar with
the subject at first hand but also by many readers.
This is a small book in which there are advises and instructions,
(spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik (Arabic:
‫)َس اِلك‬, a Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism
and all these details of advice by the spiritual master Khwaja
Bakhtiar Kaki Oushi are added in this book. And also in this book
there are some great achievements which are not yet known to the
general person are published in a very interesting style so for this
reason the readers will find great interest and attention in this
matter.
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts reading
this magazine’s first page and will not stop its reading till they
will reach its last page as in this magazine some interesting events
and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of holy saint
are added and this holy saint to have passed away from the world
some 1,000 years ago.
Even though this is small book, but due to its importance it is so
great due to coverage of many interesting events and positive
161

This book is edited and formatted as per the great book ‘Muslim
saints and Mystics’ (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al din Attar)
which is very famous in the Western world among the English
knowing persons. So for this reason, there will be some small
differences in it while comparing with the Urdu books and its
literature. The aim of this magazine is to present in the Western
world where there are great search and demand of the books of
Sufism and biographies of holy saints who lived and spent their
entire lives for the preaching and propagation of Islamic religion
in all corners of the world as per tradition and practice of Allah’s
last prophet.
To write about this great author is not only it is difficult and
of his time in the Indian sub-continent.
So in brief he was a great Saint of his time in the Indian sub-
continent and who did many great endeavours for the preaching
and propagation of Islam in Delhi city upon becoming the caliph
of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti Ajmeri and afterwards he was shifted
to Pakpatam where he did the endeavours for the Islamic mission
with the hopes of its expansion to other adjoining and distant
It is my great honour and pleasure to translate this book from
Urdu to English, so I request the readers to read this book because
in it there are many revelations of the secrets which are added in
this book for which I shall be highly obliged to all of its readers in
this matter.
In the preface of the book ‘Tadhikra Awliya’ (Muslim Saints &
162
Preface
163
It should be know that the master of secret matters of the

mysticism (Saluk) and many benefits of its light, the Sultan of
Mashaiq (learned) persons, the logic of the reality and pious
person and the Sheikh of pious persons and their leader and the
leader of the world and the light of holy persons and the crown of
the Sufi persons, the Qutub (a category of saints comprising only
four at any time in the world) of reality and the religion Hazrat
Khaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki Oushi Allah keep his piety and
holy personality.
In the speeches of Sheikh which he was heard from him in
which available the pearls of advising and which were collected
and presented in this book. Due, to help of Allah in this book the
benefits of Mystic persons are added. After this lowest Fakir
Masood Ajhudani who is the slave of the Darwesh persons and
actually who is dust of the feet of the pious person states here that
on the 2nd Ramadan in the year 584 Hegira when he was
honoured to kiss the Sheikh of time, then who was awarded me
the four ends Turkey cap, which he was wearing on his head and
he was put that cap on the well wisher’s head and he was done
kindness and favour for me.
At that time Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori, Moulana Shamsuddin
Turk, Khaja Mahmood, Moulana Alauddin Kirmani, Syed
Nooruddin Ghazni, Sheikh Nizamuddin Abul Maud and many
other pious people were present at the meeting place.
1.The revelation and miracles of the pious persons
The discussion about revelation and miracles of the holy
persons was started. Qutub of Islam was told by his holy tongue
that in the Sheikh there should be such power of heart and with
the company of the consciousness so that when some person will
approach him for the pledge (Bait) then it is expedient (Wajib) for
him that he should with his power of the innermost (Batani)
should clean the rust which is filled with the filth in the chest of
the disciple and to burnish (Saqil) it so that the following things
164
should not be there.

1. Defects
2. Fraud and deceiving
3. Greed
4. The filth of the world
And the Kudrt (ill-will) should not remain there in the chest of
the person. After this he should explain him the secret of Marifat
(knowledge of Allah) by holding his hand. If the Pir (spiritual
master) does not possess such power and ability, then by truly he
should know that the Pir and his disciple are both wandering in
the jungle of misguided.
On this occasion he was told “Khaja Shibli in his book Asrar
Arifin wrote that he was travelling towards Badkshan and he was
seen there one pious person and it is difficult to mention his
attributes in this matter. I said Salam to him and he was asked me
to sit there so I was sat there. For some days I was in his presence.
At the time of fast breaking there was available two breads of
barley by the invisible source. With one bread that pious person
used to break his fast and he used to give me other bread.
In short, that holy person asked the ruler of Badakshan to
construct him one shrine building. The ruler of Badhakshan
completed the construction of the shrine building in some days
and said to the pious person that the building is ready. Then that
holy person told him on every day to purchase and bring Kathak
(a cast of dancers) boys from the bazaar and the ruler followed his
instruction in this matter. When they used to bring Kathak boys
from the bazaar then the holy person used to tell and ask the boy
to sit on the prayer mat and say “ He is making this man a pious
person of Allah.” At last all those Kathak boys were becoming
perfect and they can walk on the water. When those Kathaks boys
pray in favour of the person then he used to become as per their
prayers. Khaja Shibli says when he was surprised by the miracles
and revelation of Kahtak persons, then Sheikh told me that “Oh:
165
Shibili to sit on the prayer mat and make a pledge is proper for
that person one who has a power of it so that he should change the
other person and as the person who sit on the prayer mat and if
there is no such power of Velayat (saintliness) in him then he is
not Sheikh and with the people of mysticism he is only juggler
and his lair.
There is perfection in four things
In this situation he said “ The people of mysticism, wrote
about their habits that there is perfection is required in the
following four things.
1. Less eating
2. Less sleeping
3. Less talking
4. Less contact with the mankind
He said in Ghazni there was one Darwesh person who used to
be patience daily in the solitude. In the daytime if he will get any
extra thing, then he did not use to keep even an even penny with
him up for the night. Those small and big wealthy persons and
Darewsh persons who used to visit him and will not go without
favour from him.
So for this reason, if any hungry person will visit him, then he
used to give him food and if any naked person will come over
there, then he used to give him a dress from his body. That
Darwesh person and this well wisher used to live together in one
place. He was heard from him that he spent 40 years in
endeavours and worship of Allah, but would not get any light on
him, but when he was followed the above things, then he was
getting such light that when he will look at the sky, then he will
not find any veil up to empyrean of Allah and he was seen all
things which are available in between them.
And if he will look at the earth, then he will look from the
surface of the earth up to the nether region For this reason, since
30 years, he is sitting there by closing his lips. Then he addressed
166
me, “ Oh: Darwesh when you will not speak less and will not be
your less contact with the mankind, then he never gets the jewels
of Darweshi and these things will not be found in him.
Because the group of Darwesh persons is such group and who
have made themselves their sleeping as illegal and in conversation
they have made their tongues dumb and they mixed fine foods on
the earth. They think the people as poisonous snakes and after this
they will be able to get the nearness of Allah in this matter.”
He said “ If Darwesh will wear a fine dress to show the
mankind, then think in this matter that he is not Darwesh but he is
robbed of the mystic way and Darwesh who eats delicious foods
as per requirement of the soul then think him surely that he is as
follows on the mystic way.
1. Liar
2. False
3. Claimant
4. Selfish
He said “ The Darwesh person who like the company of the
wealthy person then do not think him as Darwesh person, but he
is apostatized of the mystic way and Darwesh who sleeps very
much as per psychological requirements then think there is no
grace on him.”
He said “ Once he was visiting a river and he was found there
one pious person and who was a wealthy Darwish who was
become in such condition due to endeavours that there were no
bones and skin available on his body.” So it was the practice of
the Darwesh person that after the Chast (mid morning) prayer, he
was used to sit on the prayer mat, then on his cloth which is
spread for the eating of food there were used to be available, food
provide up to 2.5 Maunds in quantity which he is used to provide
food to all persons who will come there and get food from there.
If there will come any naked person then he used to take him in
the room and used to give him dress there. If any poor or helpless
167
will come after end of food provision, then he will use to give him
something from under his prayer mat whatever as per the fate of
that person.
So in this way, the well wisher was in his service of that
Darwesh person for some years. At the time of breakfast there
will use to reach four dates there from the invisible source and
which he will use to give me two dates and he will use to eat two
dates at that time and upon this he used to say “ Unless the
Darwesh person will not eat less, less sleep, less talk and not have
less contact with the mankind then he will not get any status and
position.”
The defects of filth of the world
In this situation, he said “ Oh: Darwish prophet Jesus (A.S.) in
spite of his such Darweshi and nearness when he was reaching for
the fourth sky then there was commanded came there to remain in
the fourth sky as still there is filth of the world with him. When
prophet Jesus (A.S.) was checked on him and he was found with
the following things.
1. Wooden cup
2. A needle
3. One rag dress
So he asked what to do with these things.? Then there was a
command came there that you have axed your feet with your hand
as that you did not throw the cup and needle down there so live
here. “ Oh: Darwish persons the things are nothing in this matter.
For this matter Prophet Eisa (A.S.) was asked to stay in the fourth
sky. Then how it is possible for the man that in spite of all such
filth of the world, how he can reach in nearness in the court of
Allah?.”
He said “ The Darwish person should spend his life as alone
and he should visit from one country to another country.
168
The secrets of the world of the surprise

It is an event of one time that there was one Darwesh person
who was a man of thinking and who used to be in the condition of
surprise. When he was asked the reason of his wisdom in the
world of the surprise then he explained the reason in this matter
that when he will look as for as possible and when he will pass
from one country then he will look another country which is
100% bigger than the first country and when he will see these
countries which will not be find same but all countries are
different. So for this reason he visits from one country to another
country and he will get lost in this thinking. So Khaja Qutubuddin
was began weeping and he said he heard one couplet of Masnavi
(verse comprising couplets) of Darwesh person and its meaning
and interpretation is as follows.
The country which I have visited and left behind

But such 200 countries are ahead on his journey
He said with his holy tongue, “ The group of mystics persons

and surprised persons and the Darwesh persons should pass daily
100,000 countries on their journey of mystic path and still they
should move forward.”
So one who did not able to get from the world of invisible, then
his eyes will become Darwesh. In this situation he said “ When
the pious persons will disclose the secrets, then they will be in the
condition of overwhelming of fondness and due to this reason
only they will disclose the secrets due to overwhelming in this
matter. And there are some perfect, pious persons are there who
did not disclose anything in this matter. So on this way the
courage of persons should be greatly extended so that he should
keep the secrets of Allah because these are secrets which belongs
to the secrets of the friend. So the perfect, pious person never
discloses the secret in this matter.It is necessary not to disclose the
169
secrets of Allah.
In this situation he said “ He was in the service of Khwaja
Moinuddin Chisti for a long period and he did not see that he
never disclosed the secrets of the friend or he discussed on this
matter and even he did not even disclosed little about the Anwar
(light) which were used to fall upon him.
He said “ Oh: Farid you have seen if Mansour Hallaj was
perfect, then he did not disclose the secret of the friend. As he
didn't perfect, so he was disclosed a little about the secret of the
drink of the friend and he was killed for this reason in this
matter.’’
He said “ Khaja Junaid of Baghdad when he used to be in the
condition of intoxication then, except of one thing he did not say
anything on this matter which is as follows.”
“It is 1000 regrets for such lover who will declare himself for
the friendship of Allah and when there will be sent down the
secrets of Allah with him then he will disclose immediately the
secrets to other persons.”
In this situation he said he heard by the tongue of Khwaja
Moinuddin Chisti who said “One pious person who was
worshipped of Allah for more than 100 years and he was fulfilling
the rights of the endeavours in this matter. Upon this from secrets
of Allah one secret was disclosed to him. But he was a less
courageous pious person so he was disclosed the secret due to not
putting up with him in this matter. Due to this reason next day the
grace was taken back from him. So he was becoming mad and he
was heard a divine call in which it was told him “ Oh: Khwaja if
you would did not disclose that secret then he will become
eligible to receive other secrets in this matter. But when We saw
that you are still in the seventh veil so we have taken back Our
grace from you and given to another person”
Khwaja Qutub of Islam said to me “ Oh: Farid on this mystic
170
way there are such persons are there who drink 100,000 secrets of
rivers, but they are unable to know what they have drunk in this
matter. But still they demand for some more.’’
In this situation he said “ One pious person wrote one letter to
another pious person “ How is that person one who will become
intoxicated upon drinking of one cup of the love and then he will
disclose the secrets of Allah.” That pious person replied him “
That person is less courageous and less bravery. But there are
such brave persons are there who drink the following.”
1. The rivers of mortality and eternity
2. The secrets of the friend
3. The cups of the love
Upon happening of the above events the period of 50 years

was passed away, but still they are demanding more and more.
What is this matter you are talking.? So I prohibit you not to say
the things about the secrets which were used to disclose by the
masters of the saints and they don't get from this. And from this
there will be ashamed of us.
Afterward, he said, “ Unless the Darwesh person will not adopt
loneliness from others and always he should be alone and if there
will filth of the world will be there with him then he will never
reach the place of nearness.”
Khwaja Saheb said “ Khwaja Bayazid was reached to the
place of nearness to Allah after a period of 70 years. Then there
was came command that he should be returned back from there as
still there is filth of the world found in him. So Khwaja Ba Yazid
searched him and found there was an old robe and a broken cup
of water was with him”.
So for this reason he could not able to get the position there.
When there will be a condition of such great pious person of the
time, then how you Darwesh persons will be able to a get position
in this matter as there is very much filth of the world available to
171
them. So brother Darwish, on walking on the path of mysticism is

a different matter and gather of stocks of goods is another matter
so you should become Darwish or become the person who gather
a stock of goods.
The perfect Darwesh persons
When the Darwish will become a perfect person then whatever
he will say then it will be happening immediately and there will
be nothing less which will not be there about his saying in this
matter.
He said “ It is a description of an event that when he was
travelling with Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori who is a friend of this
well wisher and during our journey we were visiting a river and
watching the wonders of the nature and so it is very much difficult
to mention the description of the details in this matter.
We sat at a place near the river and we were suffering due to
hunger very badly at that time, but were in the jungle so it is very
difficult to get food provision there. After that then we saw a
sheep and in her mouth there were two breads and the sheep held
that breads before them. We ate the breads and we began thinking
among ourselves that those breads were sent from the invisible of
source of Allah and it was not a sheep but he may be belong to the
invisible persons of Allah.
When we are discussing about this then one big scorpion
which was at the height of the camel was coming there and while
he was fast running like an arrow in the bow who was running
towards the river side and went fast into the river so I have seen at
the Qazi Saheb and who also saw me for this reason. So we both
said there is some reason in this matter that the scorpion came
there by running so it is good to follow him and see in this matter.
There was no boat available on the river bank to cross the
river by it. So when become helpless then we have prayed “ Oh:
Allah the Lord of the world, if we are perfect in the Darweshi then
172
giving us the way in the river so that we should follow the

scorpion and see where he goes and then to see the happening in
this matter.” Immediately upon our hymns due to the command of
Allah the river was divided and dry land came there and we have
followed the scorpion as he was ahead of us and we were behind
of him. Then we have reached near a tree where we found a
person was sleeping there and one big snake was coming down
from the tree to kill that person. That scorpion bites and killed that
snake. Then scorpion was vanished from there and the snake was
dying and was lying there near that person and we have proceeded
near the snake and saw it was very heavy of 2.5 Maunds in
weight.
We said to ourselves to get the details upon wake up to the
person and thought that person must be pious one so for this
reason Allah saved him in this matter. So we went near to that
person and found him in drunkard position and he was vomited
there. So for this reason we were ashamed in this matter that it
was better for them that they would have not come there and saw
the condition of that person. ”
Afterward, we said Allah was saved such a drunkard and dis-
obedient person. Then at that time when this thought was coming
into our mind, then a divine call was heard in which it was said “
Oh: dear persons if We will protect the pious and holy persons
then who will save the sinner and seditious persons.”? Still, we
are in this discussion then that person was wake up and he was
surprised to see the dead snake there and he was repented of his
sins and that man was becoming a pious person and he did 70
Hajj pilgrimages by his feet.
Afterward, he said “ When there will be a wind of kindness, of
Allah will blows, then which will make 100,000 wine drinking
persons as the sitters on the prayer mats and will forgive them. If
the wind of the calamity will run, then it makes 100,000 prayer
mat sitters will become cursed persons and will thrust them into
173
wine shops. So brother for this reason there will be no grief in this
way. Because of this way the people of the perfect Saluk
(mysticism) day and night due to the fear and anxiety of
separation are in the surprise and in the grief as nobody knows
how it will be happening in this matter.
In this situation he said “ The cursed Satan if he will know his
end, then he will not refuse to prostrate before the prophet Adam
(A.S.). As he has pride of his power so he said he will never
prostrate before the earthly man. So without any doubt and
suspicion he is a cursed person and his work of sincerities have
gone waste and were become useless and all of these things have
been thrown in his face.”
The fear of the pious persons
In this situation he said “Once he went into one city. Where he
was seeing a group of the reformers which were standing in the
condition of surprise in the group of 20 persons and they were
looking at the sky. When the prayer time will come then they
engaged in the prayer and upon its finish, then again standing in
the condition of surprise. I watch them for some period of time.
One day when some persons have come in the normal
condition then this well wisher asked them for since how long
period they are in the condition of surprise.?Then they told him
that they are in this condition since 60 or 70 years. We are
thinking about the event of the cursed Satan, who did worship of
Allah for a period of 603,6000 years, but when he was asked to
prostrate before Adam (A.S.) but he was refused in this matter
and he was becoming reprobate. So in this matter due to this fear
and surprise we are shivering for this reason. Due to this reason
we are living in the world of surprise and thinking in this matter.
We do not know our end of this matter. Due to this fear Khwaja
Saheb was began weeping and he was told by his holy tongue that
this is a condition of perfect persons of Allah who are in the
condition of surprise. I do not know to which categories we
174
belong.”
When Khaja Saheb ended the above benefits, then he was
standing and he went into the world of surprised.
On the Saturday in the month of Shawwal in the year 584 Hegira
year, the wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was
available to me. Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori, Moulana Alauddin
Kirmani and Maulana Shamsuddin were present in the service of
the Sheikh. At that time the discussion about the mysticism and
the people of mysticism was in progress in the meeting place. He
was told by his holy tongue that “On the way of mysticism,the
mystics, people who will be drowned in the river of love from the
head to the feet. There will be no moment and time is not there
when there will be no rain fall of the love is not there upon them.”
Afterward, he said “The Arif (mystic) is such person in him for
every moment from the world of secrets there should be create
secrets with him and who should live in the condition of
intoxication and if in such condition if there will be put 18,000
worlds into his chest then he will not know in this matter.”
In this situation he said “ I have seen one Darwesh person in
Samarqand who was in the condition of surprise. I have inquired
of the people since how long time the pious person is in the
condition of surprise.? The people said “He was in such condition
since twenty years.”
So I was in his presence for some period of time. One time he
was in the normal condition so I have asked him whether he know
about ingress and egress or not.? The Darwish persons said “ Oh:
friends when the Darwesh persons have drowned in the river of
the love, then whatever the secrets of the divine lights which are
sent down to him and there will be no news of him about 18,000
worlds. So it is the way of the love. Who has ever put his feet in
this way, then he was not able to secure of his life.”
The patient on the difficulties
175
In this situation he said “ When on prophet Yahya (A.S.) there

was placed the knife on the throat, then he wants to complain
about this matter, then there was came to a command “If you
make a complaint in this matter, then his name will be removed
from the names of the friends.” Then Khaja Saheb has explained
the event in this matter as follows.
“ When he saw the knife was started on the throat of prophet
Zakaria (A.S.) then he wants to lodge his complaint in this matter,
but at that time angel Gabriel was coming there and he told that
there is a command of Allah that if you make complaint in this
matter then his name will be removed from the list of patient
persons.”
At that time, Khaja Saheb began weeping and he said
“ The person who is claimant of the love and at the time of
difficulty when he should lodge a complaint, then he is not a true
friend but actually he is false person. Because the name of
friendship is that whatever comes from his friend which should be
acceptable to him and he should be thankful in this matter
secondly in this way he should remember him.”
In this situation he said “It was the method of Rabia of Basra
that when there will be a calamity fall upon her then she used to
be happy in this matter and she used to say that today Allah
remembered this old lady. When there will be no calamity on her
then she will weep and she used to say what happened today and
which mistake was done with her that the friend was not
remembered this old lady.”
He said “ He was heard by his holy tongue of Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti that in the way of the mysticism, one who is
having love and he is a claimant of love then he will desire the
calamities from Allah. Because the people of mystics think that
the difficulties of the friend is the willingness of the friend.”
176
He said “ On the day when there will be no difficulty given to

him, then we will come to know that today we could not get this
grace. So on the way of mysticism, the kindness of the friend will
become the calamity.”
The invisible persons of Allah
The discussion about the invisible persons of Allah was started
and he said “When the person meets with the person of
invisibility, then first they call them and when one who will
become perfect, then they will disclose upon him then they call
him from the meeting place.”
Afterward, he said “ There was one friend of this well wisher

and his name was Sheikh Usman Sanjari who was a disciple of his
spiritual master. He was used to busying very much in the
worship of Allah so, for this reason, the person of invisible used
to call him. So he was increased, he endeavoured to make it
larger. So he was used to meeting the invisible persons.
One day he was sitting in the meeting place with his friends
and I was also sitting with him. At that time one Sheikh was
coming there, then he said well come to him and that person told
him do you come?, or we both will leave this meeting place.
When he said this then he stood in the meeting place and went
towards the call which he was heard from that person and went far
away from us and, at last, he was not seen by us.”
Then Khwaja Saheb told by his holy tongue “ If somebody
walks in one special direction then if his faith is complete and so
he can hopes for the perfection then surely he will get perfection
in this matter.”
To follow the innermost ways
After he said “He and Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori were
circumambulation of the Holy Kaaba in Makkah and there was
one pious person who was known as Sheikh Burhanuddin and
177
who was a slave of Khaja Shibli but he was a great pious person.
At that time he came there for the circumambulation of the Holy
Kaaba, so we have followed him in the circumambulation as such
that where he will put his feet we also put our feet at the same
place.
As he was a person of pure heart so he was understood and he
said “Why they are following him in the manifestation. And if
they want to go after him, then they should follow his innermost
ways in their actions and be firm on that.”
We both have asked him “Which action he used to do.?” Then
Sheikh said “He used to read the holy Quran 20,000 times daily”.
So we both were surprised what this pious person is saying in this
matter. We have thought he may have memorized by orally some
part of every verse. At that time, he raised his head and he said to
be careful in this matter that it is not that, but I have read each and
every word of the holy book of Quran and Moulana Alauddin
Kirmani was also present at the meeting and who said it is his
miracle.
Then Khwaja Saheb said “ The thing which could not be
understood by wisdom is called a miracle and upon this Khwaja
Saheb began weeping and he said “ The person who reach the
position of reality due to his pious deeds only. Even though there
will be a favour to all but it is a must for them for the endeavours
in this matter.”
The rules of sitting in the meeting place
Afterwards, the discussion about attending the meeting and
sitting in the presence of the spiritual master with respect was
started. Khwaja Saheb told by his holy tongue that “When one
person who will enter into the meeting place he should sit in the
place where he will find the empty place which is available there.
Because next time also he should sit there in the meeting place in
the same place.”
178
Afterward, he said “ One time this well-wisher was in Ajmer

in the service of Khaja Moinuddin Sanjari in the meeting place of
Moulana Sadar Uddin. Moulana Sadar Uddin said “Once the
prophet of Allah was sitting at one place and there were
companions around him and at that time three persons came there.
One among them was found a place in the circle and he sat there.
A second person found the place outside of the circle and he was
sitting there and the third person could not find the place in the
meeting place so he left from there. At that time, the angel Gabriel
came there and he said “ Oh: prophet of Allah the person who
find the place in the circle to whom We have taken him into our
custody. The one who sat behind of the circle with him, We are
ashamed and on the day of judgment, We will not disgrace him
and the third which left from there is away from Our mercy and
he was deprived of this matter.” Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori said “
The one who is left from there, then what he should do at that
time.?”
Khwaja Qutub said “ It is an argument in this matter is that
one should sit at the place in the meeting place wherever he will
find the place for him. He should sit there and his place will be
same for his next visit to the meeting place or he should sit at the
back side of the circle but in all conditions, he should not sit in
between of the circle. Because in the saying of the prophet of
Allah it is prohibited in this matter and this saying is available in
the book Tanbi by Abul Lais Samarqandi. The saying of the
prophet of Allah is as follows.
“ The person who sit at the place in between of the meeting place
then he will become the person of the curse.”
The supplication and the curse
Afterward, the discussion about the spiritual master’s
supplication and curse were started. He was told by his holy
tongue that “ There are two kinds of supplications are there which
are as follows.”
179
1. Good
2. Bad
It is not good to convey curse in favour of any person.” He
said “Once he was present in the service of Khaja Moinuddin
Sanjari and he told this event which is as follows.
One day he was present in the service of Khaja Haruni and he
was standing there and at that time and one Darwesh person
whose name was Sheikh Burhanuddin came over there who was a
disciple of the spiritual master of Khaja Moinuddin Sanjari. He
was coming there and complained about his neighbour due to his
harassment with the Sheikh in this matter so Sheikh told him to sit
there and he sat there. Then Sheikh asked him that, “Why he was
seen by him in the condition of worry and grief.? So he told by
lowering his head and he said “ There is one neighbour of mine
with him, he is the reason to worry and with him he is finding
trouble because he was constructing a higher building than his
house and when he will reach on the roof of the house then there
will be un-veiling of my householders.” Upon saying this Khwaja
Usman said “Did he not know that you belong to us.?” And he
said, “Yes”. Then Khaja Saheb cursed him and he said “Did he
not fallen from the floor and did his neck will not break.?” Then
the Darwesh person paid his respect and left from meeting place.
Still, he didn't cover the half distance of the house he was heard
loud and cry that the neighbour person of the Darwesh was fallen
from the floor and his neck is broken.
The end of life of Rai Pathura
In this situation, he said, “ He was sitting in the presence of
Khwaja Moinuddin Sanjari and in those days Rai Pathura (Raja
Prithvi Raj) was living at that time and he was used to saying that
“ It was good that this Fakir (Darwesh) would leave from here
(Ajmare).” And he used to say this to everybody whoever used to
visit him in the royal palace in Ajmare. This news gradually
reached to Khwaja Saheb and at that time, other Darwesh persons
180
were present at the meeting place. He was in the condition of

Sucker (intoxication) at that time and he did mediation in this
matter. In the meditation, he said with his holy tongue that “We
have surrendered live Rai Pathora to a Muslim man.”
So after some time of the above event, Sultan Suhabuddin
Ghauri attacked Amare city with the military and looted it and
captured Rai Pathura alive and taken him to Ghazni city. From
this, it is known that the Darwesh person also keeps firing in the
one cup. It means they are caused harm also. And in another cup
they keep the water it means they are caused benefit of the
mankind.
When Khwaja Qutubuddin was explaining all these details,
then at that time Malik Eqtiaruddin who was a local ruler came
over there and paid respect to Khwaja Saheb and sat there and he
presented him some amount as Nazr (present) to Khaja Saheb.
But while looking at that person at the meeting, he told “ It is
the practice of our Khajagan (masters) that they did not accept
presents so this amount should be given to others. So he turns the
palm leaf mat on which he was sitting and shown to Malik
Eqtiaruddin and others who were present at the meeting. When
they have shown and they find there that a river of bags of gold
was running there. Khaja Saheb said “ Oh: Malik Eqtiaruddin that
person to whom Allah has given such large wealth and treasure
then how he will accept the wealth of Eqtiaruddin.? Oh:
Shamsuddin go and give back this amount to him and tell him to
be careful in this matter that he should not do such rudeness with
the Darwesh persons otherwise there will be harm to him. ”
The glad tidings of the king

Once Khaja Moinuddin Chisti, Sheikh Ohud Kirmani, Sheikh
Suhabuddin Suherwardi and the well wisher were sitting in one
place and there the discussion about the prophet of Allah was
started. At that time he told by his holy tongue that “Sultan
181
Shamsuddin, Allah will give light to his argument and at that time
he was 12 years old and he was going from there, by holding a
cup in his hand. When the pious persons looked at the boy then
Khaja Moinuddin said suddenly with his holy tongue “ Unless this
boy will not become the king of Delhi then Allah will not left him
from the world.” He said “ The pious supplication will be good
specially from the supplication from the pious persons.”
The discussion about the Bait (pledge)
Afterward the discussion about the bait (pledge) was started.
He said “It can be renewed second time because if there will be
turn back from it or if there will be doubt arise in this matter.”
The pledge of (Bait) Rizwan
Afterward, he said “ He was reading in the biography the
details of the Sheikh of Islam that “ As per the report of Khaja
Hasan of Basra that when the prophet before the conquest of
Makkah want to visit Makkah so he was sent first Hazrat Usman
(R.A.) and Hazrat Ali (R.A.) for negotiation in this matter with
the infidel people of Makkah. During this period of, time there
came news that the people of Makkah have martyred the above
two companions of the prophet of Allah in Makkah.”
When the prophet of Allah came to know the above news
then he was called all his companions and he said “ Come on we
make a new pledge and to go Makkah and fight there together so
all companions made a new pledge in this matter.” At that time
the prophet was sitting under a tree and this pledge is known in
the history of Islam as Bait Rizwan. There was one companion
who was known as Ibn Ruku and he came to see the prophet of
Allah, he requested him “ To renew his pledge” so the prophet of
Allah said to him, “ You have already pledged to me.” He said “
As we all go together with equal sanctity so it is expedient to
renew the pledge in this matter.” The prophet was accepted, his
pledge.
182
Afterward Khwaja Saheb said with his holy tongue that “ For
this reason new pledge can be made in this matter. Then this well
wisher told “ If there will no availability of the spiritual master.?”
Then he said “ He should keep before him the robe of honour, of
the spiritual master and make a new pledge in this matter ”and he
said “It is not surprising that Sheikh Moinuddin may do the same
thing in this matter.” For this reason this will wisher used to do
the pledge in this way.
The elegance of belief of the disciple
Afterward this, the discussion about the elegance of belief of
the disciples was started and he said with his holy tongue that “
Once in Baghdad city one Darewsh person was caught for some
crime there. He was standing in the place of execution and the
executioner came there to kill him and at that time the disciple
looked at the grave of his spiritual master. So immediately he
turned his sight from the Holy Kaaba to the grave of his spiritual
master. So the executioner asked him “ Why he was turning his
head from Holy Qibla (the direction in which Muslims turn in
prayer).?’ So he said, “ His face was towards his Qibla so do your
work.” Still the discussion between the Darwesh and the
executioner was in progress, then there came a command from the
ruler to free that Darwesh person.
So Khaja Saheb began weeping and he said “The true faith is
such thing which save the Darwesh person from the killing.”
The respect of the grave of the spiritual master
In this situation he said that “ Once Khwaja Moinuddin Sanjari
was sitting with his friends and there was discussion about the
mysticism was in progress. When he used to look at the right side,
then he used to stand. So for this reason all persons were surprised
in this matter that why he stood to pay respect to whom.?” So he
made this for many times. So when all friends and all people went
away from the meeting place, then one of his dear friends got the
opportunity and he asked him “Why do you do this inducement
183
and stand many times and pay respect to whom this matter.?”
Khaja Saheb said “ On that side there is the grave of my spiritual
master. So when he looks at that side of the grave of his spiritual
master so to give respect he used to stand in this matter. So to
give respect of the mausoleum of the Sheikh he was standing.”
He said “The disciple should do service to the spiritual master
in his presence and also in his absence equally. So he should do
service of the spiritual master upon his death, which is
compulsory for his him so just like he used to do service during
his life and it is also good for him to do his service after his death
in this matter.”
The fondness of the ecstasy (Sama)
The discussion about the ecstasy was started. He told by his
holy tongue that “The well wisher has such fondness with the
ecstasy which is not found that thing in other things. So he did
find fondness in the ecstasy (Sama) very much than other things.”
Then he said “The people of mystic way and the lovers of the
reality will find such fondness in the ecstasy that it is like fire in
their bodies. If there will be not this then where will be Laqa
(meeting) available there and the fondness of the Laqa (meeting)
is great.
Afterward, he said “ He and Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori were
sitting in the shrine building of Sheikh Ali Sanjari and the
meeting of Sama was in progress and the Qawwals (choristers)
were singing the following Persian couplet.
And its meaning and interpretation is as follows.

“The killers of persons of dagger of the approval will get new
lives by invisible source.”
Due to the effect of this couplet there was so much intoxication
was prevailed on both of us so we were living in that state and
184
condition for a period of 3 days and 3 nights and due to the effect
of the above couplet there was condition on us that we have lost
our consciousness in this matter. So due to this reason, we both of
us had spent 7 days and 7 nights under this effect. When
somebody repeat this couplet then there will be a special effect on
both of us which we could not describe in this matter.
The pious persons and their prayers
He said with his holy tongue “ Once he and the Qazi
Hameeduddin Nagori reached in one city and find there a group
of 20 persons were there who were standing and looking at the
sky and they were used to live day and night in the condition of
surprise. But when the prayer time will come there, then they used
to perform the prayer and after the prayer, they will continue their
engagement with the condition of surprise.”
Afterward Khwaja Qutubuddin told with his holy tongue that
“ Yes, its specialty of the of holy persons which is available in
them that in spite of their condition of surprise that they will not
lapsed their prayers.”
The pious person's advice to another pious person
In this situation he said “Once he was travelling with Khaja
Moinuddin Sanjari towards Makkah. During our journey we
reached in one city. Where we have find one pious person in the
cave in Etekaf (retirement in the mosque for continued prayer)
and he was standing in the cave and he was looking at the sky.
His condition was like a dry structure which was fixed there in the
standing condition.”
Upon this Khwaja Mionuddin was asking me and he said if
you agree, then we will stay here for some days. I said readily. In
this way, we have stayed there for a period of one month. During
that period the Darwesh person came in the normal condition
from the condition of surprise. We have stood there and paid
respect to him at that time. Then he replied our Salam and he said
185
“ Oh: dears, you have suffered a lot in this matter and Allah will a
give you reward for it. Because it is said by the pious persons that
those who do service of the Darwesh persons will get a status.”
He told us to sit there. When we sat there, then he started his
discussion “ He belongs to the sons of Sheikh of Islam Tosi and
since about 30 years, he is in the condition of surprise and I do not
know about the day and night. Today Allah brought him in the
normal (Sahu) condition for the sake of you. Oh: dears, now you
can return from here. Allah will a give you reward for the
difficulties which you have suffered in this matter. But remember
one advice of this Fakir (Darwesh) that in the way of mysticism to
keep away from the following four things.
1. The World
2. The desires of the soul
3. To keep away from the mankind
4. To keep the amounts of presents with you
If you do not follow the above instructions, then you will
commit the mistake in this matter.”
When the pious persons finished his advice and again he went
into the condition of Sukkar (intoxication) so we left from there.
When Sheikh of Islam ended these benefits and he went into the
condition of intoxication so for this reason the well wisher left
from the meeting place and went into his house which he was
made in the ruin place for the remembrance of Allah there.
The grades of mysticism
On the Monday in the month of Shawwal in the year 584
Hegira the wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was
available to me. Some Darwesh and pious persons were present at
the meeting place. There was discussion about the mysticism was
in progress that pious people of mysticism and holy Mashaiq
(learned) persons who were used to walk on the sea and earth
have classified the mysticism as follows. Some have classified it
186
into 180 grades.

But the pious persons of Junadia category have classified into
100 grades.
1. Zanoon of Egypt 70 grades
2. Ibrahim Basher Hafi, 55 grades
3. Khwaja Bayazid 25 grades
4. Abdullah Mubarak 25 grades
5. Sufian Suri 25 grades
6. Shujah Kirmani 20 grades
7. Khwaja Samon Mohib 20 grades
8. Khwaja Mohammed Arhsi 20 grades
Afterward, Khwaja Qutub of Islam said “ The above
categories of pious people have classified the mysticism and have
explained the examples as follows.
So they have classified it into 180 grades and in its 80 grades
they have kept for the miracles and revelation. Upon reaching at
an 80th grade if Darwesh person, one who will keep safe from the
miracles and revelation, then for him it will be possible to cover
the other 100 grades and after that he can show his miracles and
revelation at that time. But if he will involve in miracles and
revelation in the 80th grade, then he will not cover the remaining
100 grades. But the perfect, pious person is one who will not
show his miracle and revelation unless he will not cover all these
grades.”
In the category of Junadia pious people there are 100 grades are
in it. They have kept 70 grades for miracles and revelations and if
the one who will involve at this grade in miracles and revelations,
then he will not able to cover the other remaining grades in this
matter. But the perfect person is one who will not involve in the
miracles and revelation unless he will not get all these grades.”
Afterward the Qutub of Islam was looking at the well wisher
and he said “The people of mystic way have said this advice
187
because the Salik (a Salik (Arabic: ‫)َس اِلك‬, a Mureed is an initiate

into the mystic philosophy of Sufism) and that upon he will be
reaching the grade of 180 and if he should not show the miracles
and revelation so that he could make further progress in this
matter. But the Salik generally in this grade which is reserved for
the miracles and revelation and if he will disclose himself so for
this reason he is unable to make further progress in this matter.”
As per the category of Basria in the 80 grade for the Darwesh
people, it is good that he should not engage in the miracles and
revelations so that he could make further progress in other grades
in this matter.
But in the category of Khaja Zanon of Egypt there are 70
grades and in the 25th grade they have allowed for miracles and
revelations. So the Salik should not engage himself in the
miracles and revelation because if he will engage in it then he will
be remain it and he cannot make further progress and so he will
not cover the remaining 45 grades in this matter.
Khwaja Junaid of Baghdad has classified 45 grades and in its 13th
grade is kept for the miracles and revelation because if he will
engage in it then he will be remaining in it and he cannot make
further progress and so he will not cover the remaining grades in
this matter.
Afterward, he said some pious and Mashaiq (learned) people
who used to engage themselves in this grade for the miracles and
revelation then they will remain in this position and then they
cannot be called the perfect persons for this reason as they
declared themselves in this matter. But the perfect peoples are
those who will declare only upon covering all the grades. Then it
will be happening, whatever they said by their holy tongues.
So there will come the difference in the prayer of the pious
persons for this reason, in this matter that they used to engage
themselves in the beginning in the miracles and revelations, but
they are not getting their such status in the remaining grades, but
188
the perfect peoples will not disclose the miracles and revelation
unless they will not cover all the grades in this matter so for the
reason their supplications are never not rejected.
But the leaders of the mystic way who have classified 30
grades in which 8th grade is kept for the miracles and revelations.
But unless they will not reach 30th grade these people will not
disclose the miracles and revelations.
The categories of Shah Shujah Kirmani, Samon Mohib and
Khaja Mohammed Arshi have classified 20 grades and, in it 10th
grade is kept for the miracles and revelations. So the person one
who used to engage himself in the 10th grade, then he will remain
in it and he will not make further progress in this matter. But the
masters of Chist have classified 15 grades of mysticism and, in it
5th grade is kept for the miracles and revelations. So the person
one who used to engage himself in the 5th grade in the miracles
and revelation, then he will remain in it and he will not make
further progress in this matter. So for this reason it is a useless
thing. But among the perfect master of Chist who will not use to
disclose themselves, even upon reaching on the 15th grade.
When Khaja Saheb was explained the above examples, then
he began weeping and tears came down into his eyes and he
looked at the well wisher he said “Among the Ummat (nation) of
prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) there are such persons
are there who, upon following the above grades they have covered
more than 100,000 grades but they will not disclose a little secret
of their friend and they even did not know about themselves in
this matter who are they? And what are they.? When their
condition will become such as per above, then they will begin
their progress as per their position and status. As per their
progress they will enter into the condition of surprise. When in the
condition of surprise their separation will turn into the union.”
When Sheikh of Islam ended these benefits and he went into
the condition of intoxication so, for this reason, the well-wisher
189
left from the meeting place and went into his house which he was
made in the ruined place for the remembrance (invocation) of
Allah there.
The correction of situation of saying Takbir
On the Monday in the month of Zeqad in the year 584 Hegira
the wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available to
me. Some pious and Darwesh persons and Aladdin Kirmani,
Sheikh Mahmood Moza Doz were present at the meeting place.
There was discussion about the saying of Takbir (repetition of the
words Allah-o Akbar) of Darwesh people was in progress that the
Darwesh people who call Takbir at the lanes, on the house doors
and bazaars so what is its reality in this matter.? Khwaja Qutub of
Islam said with holy tongue that “This type of Takbir should not
be said which is said about the situation of Tabkir. Because the
Takbir is said at the thanksgiving time. Whenever the man will
get an increase of grace, of the world or another world, then he
will give thankful to Allah in this matter then at this situation
saying of Takbir is right.”
Afterward, he said “One day he was at the meeting place of
Khwaja Suhabuddin Saherwardi and he was seeing such
engagement was there and which he was not seen by him during
his entire travel and tourism period.”
In that situation, one Darwesh person came into his presence
and said Salam to him., At that time Khaja Shuhabuddin felt it is
difficult to continue his discussion about saying Takbir and he
said an event of the prophet of Allah that “One day the prophet
was sitting there and around him there were sitting the
companions of the prophet in the circle. At that time the prophet
addressed the companions and said “ He hope that on the day of
judgement one fourth of the paradise will be given to all of you
and the remaining three fourth of the paradise will be given to
other Ummat (nations). Upon hearing this by the prophet of
Allah, Hazrat Umar (A.S.) and Hazrat Ali (A.S.) and the
190
remaining companions were standing and said Takbir on this

occasion so that the gratefulness of the grace should be added in
this matter. The second time the prophet said “One third of a
portion of the paradise will be given to all of you. And the
remaining two third of the paradise will be given to other
nations.” Upon hearing this by the prophet of Allah, Hazrat Umar
(A.S.) and Hazrat Ali (A.S.) and the remaining companions were
standing and said Takbir on this occasion so that the gratefulness
of the grace should be added in this matter.”
The third time the prophet said “Half portion of the paradise
will be given to all of you. And the remaining half of the paradise
will be given to other nations.” Upon hearing this by the prophet
of Allah, Hazrat Umar (A.S.) and Hazrat Ali (A.S.) and the
remaining companions were standing and said Takbir on this
occasion so that the gratefulness of the grace should be added.”
The third time the prophet said “The first his Ummat will be
entered into the paradise, then other nations will enter into it”. So
all the companions stood and thanked in this matter.
Afterward Khwaja Suhabuddin Saherwardi said “The Fakirs
who used to say four Takbirs due to this reason only. So it's not
good to say Tabkir on all occasions.”
To break off the Nafil (supererogatory) prayer on the call of the
spiritual master
Afterward the discussion about to break off the Nafil
(supererogatory) prayer on the call of the spiritual master was
started and he was asked what is his opinion on this matter.? The
Khwaja Qutub of Islam said with holy tongue,“It is better that to
break off the Nafil (supererogatory) prayer on the call of the
spiritual master and reply him in this matter because it is better
than Nafil (supererogatory) prayer and there a is good reward for
it.”
In this situation, he said “Once he was busy with the praying of
the Nafil (supererogatory) and at that time Khwaja Moinuddin
191
Chisti was calling me so then I suspended my Nafil prayer and I

said welcome.” So he said to me “What he is doing?”. I told him “
He was praying the Nafil (supererogatory) prayer, but in his call
he broke off his prayer and was replied to his call.” He said “ He
was doing a good thing to break off the Nafil (supererogatory)
prayer on the call of the spiritual master which is better than the
Nafil prayer. It is good for the devotion of the religious work of
the spiritual master.”
The good faith
In this situation he said “Once this well wisher and other Darwesh
and pious persons were present at the meeting place of Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti. There was discussion about the pious people
were in progress. At that time one person came there from the
outside for making his pledge with Khaja Saheb and he put his
head on his feet. He said to him to sit there.He sat there and he
said he came there to become his disciple. At that time, Sheikh
was in his special condition. He said to him, “Whatever he says he
should follow it, then he will make him his disciple.” He said, “
He will obey whatever he will say to him.” He said how do you
recite the Islamic creed? Then he said “ La ilha illa Muhammadur
Rasool lila.” He said to him to recite as “La ilha illa Chisti Rasool
lila.” That person recites as it is.
So Khwaja Saheb accepted his pledge and granted his robe of
honour and accepted him as his disciple. Then told him “ To hear
the phrase which I asked to recite was just to check your devotion
in this matter otherwise who he is.? He is the only low slave of
the prophet of Allah. The real phrase is that only. But due the to
condition of intoxication I was asked to recite that phrase from
your tongue. As you came here to become his disciple and your
faith is perfect and complete with me. So you said the Islamic
creed as per my instruction in this matter and you have become a
true disciple of me. Actually the faith of the disciple should be
like that it should be firm and true in the service of the spiritual
192
master.”
The requirements of repentance
The discussion about the requirements of repentance was started
and in this respect, he said “If there is repentance, then one should
not have connected with the sins which he used to do before and
he should not commit such sins again. There is no such bad thing
to the man than the bad company. Because there is an effect of the
company. So it required by the man that he should be kept away
from such thing for which he was repented of it and he should
think it as an enemy for him.”
Afterward, he said “Khaja Hameeduddin Bahlawni was a pious
person who was disciple of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti and he was
also disciple of my spiritual master of this well wisher and when
he was repented, then his friend and companions contacted him
and they said “ Come, then again we should engage and lead in
the same way of luxury life, but Khaja Hameeduddin Bahlawni
refused in this matter and said them “To go and sit in the corner
”and he said them “ To leave this poor man and he tighten his
drawer of trouser such that even it will be not opened by the
houries in the paradise.”
The Qutub of Islam was explaining these benefits, then the
food was brought there and Khaja Saheb and all Darwesh persons
began busy in eating the food. At that time Sheikh Nizamuddin
Abul Moid was entered in the meeting place. Khwaja Saheb did
not care a little in this matter and not replied to his Salam. So this
thing was felt unpleasant to Sheikh Nizamuddin Abul Moid.
The reply of Salam is not expedient on the person who are
engaged in the obedience of the Allah
In short upon finishing of eating of the food, then Abul Moid
questioned him that “When he was came there you are eating
food and at that time he said Salam to him, but you did not reply
him so what is reason in this matter.?” Qutub of Islam said “ He
193
was in the obedience so how he could reply in this matter.?

Because the Darwesh people who eat food with this purpose that
they should gain energy and power for the purpose of performing
the worship of Allah as their intention is there for this work only.
So for this reason they are engaged in the worship of Allah. So
one who busies in the worship for him it is not expedient for him
to reply of Salam. And for the coming person, it is right that he
should not say Salam but he should sit and eat the food there and
after finishing of the eating food he should convey his Salam in
this matter.”
In this situation Khwaja Saheb said an event that “Once Abul
Qasim Naserabadi who was the spiritual master of Sheikh Abu
Saeed was eating of the food with his friends. The leader of grand
mosques of Makkah and Madina Imam Ghazali came over there
and he said Salam but the friends did not care in this matter.
When they have ended the food eating, then the Imam Ghazli told
him he came over there said to Salam him but he could do not
reply from him. Has this way been good?.” Sheikh Abul Qasim
said “It is the tradition that new comer who visit the group of
persons who are engaged in food eating, then he should not
convey Salam at that time but sit there. When they have been
finished the food eating and washed their hands, then he should
say Salam to him.” Imam of Ghazali said “Do you said this as per
wisdom or as per narration of this matter.” Sheikh Abul Qasim
said “As per the wisdom. Because the Darwesh people who eat
food with this purpose that there they should gain energy and
power for the purpose of performing the worship of Allah as their
intention is for this work only. So for this reason they are engaged
in the worship of Allah. So one who busies himself in the worship
so for him it is not expedient to reply of Salam.”
When Sheih of Islam ended these benefits and he went into the
condition of intoxication so for this reason the well wisher left
from the meeting place and reached into his house which he was
194

The Ka’aba will circumamubaltion around the pious persons
On the Saturday in the month of Zilhaj in the year 584 Hegira
the wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available to
me. Some Darwesh and pious persons and Qazi Hameeduddin
Nagori, Alauddin Kirmani, Syed Nooruddin Mubarak, Syed
Ashrafuddin, Sheikh Mahmood Moza Doz, Moulana Faqiah
Khudad were present at the meeting place., Among them there
were such perfect, pious persons and in their look there was no
veil for them from empyrean to the nether regions. All were
persons of miracles and revelations. There was discussion about
the travelling of the people of Kaaba in Makkah were in progress.
Then Khwaja Qutub of Islam said with his holy tongue that “
There are such pious persons are there who live in the hut and for
whom there will be given the command to the Kaaba to
circumamubaltion around the pious persons. Still, he said this
then Khwaja Saheb and other persons were standing and went into
the condition of surprise and were drowned in the fondness and at
that time these persons were saying the phrases of Haji persons
who used to say during the Tawaf (circummbulation) of the Holy
Kaaba in Makkah and the condition of these people was such that
from their bodies there was discharge of the blood was started and
from each drop of the blood which was falling on the earth and
which were making the painting of Takbir (repetition of the words
Allah-o Akbar). When they recovered consciousness, they find
that holy Kaaba is standing before them. Then they have
performed the rituals there and they have circumamubaltion four
times around the holy Kaaba there. At that time they heard a
divine call in which it was said.” Oh: dear persons we have
accepted your Hajj, your circumamubaltion, your prayers and the
above things of the persons who follow you.”
Afterwards Qutub of Islam said “ Khaja Moinuddin Chisti
used to go Hajj pilgrimage every year, but when his work reached
195
at the level of completion, then the persons those who used to go

Hajj pilgrimage from Ajmare to Makkah find him there but he
used to live in loneliness of the house. At last it was known that
Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti used to visit every night the Holy
Ka’aba in Makkah and used to stay there in the night in Makkah
and he was used to return back from Makkah and he was used to
perform the congregational prayer of Fajr (morning) prayer in his
house in Ajmare.
In this situation he said “He was heard by Khwaja Moinuddin
Chisti this event by the holy tongue of Khwaja Haruni that one
day he was in Samarqand and at that time the condition of Khaja
Maudud Chisti was that whenever he wants to see the Holy Kaaba
in Makkah then there will be command of Allah to the angels to
bring and put the Holy Kaaba in the tray and show it to Khwaja
Saheb. When Khwaja Saheb used to complete circumamubulation
and other rituals, then the angles used to take back the Holy
Kaaba to its real place in Makkah.
Afterward, he said “ Khwaja Huzefa Marashi not left his feet
from the prayer mat for a period of 70 years and he did not use to
go to any place. But those travelers and Haji persons who used to
visit Khaja Saheb every year and used to tell him that they find
him in the mosque of Palestine.”
For the early memorization of the Quran to read Sura (verse)
Yousuf
Afterward the discussion about reading and memorization of
the Quran was started. The Qutub of Islam said with his holy
tongue that “ This well wisher could not memorize the Quran in
his beginning period and for this reason he was used to worry and
upset with this matter. One night he was seen the prophet of Allah
in his dream, then he touched his eyes on the feet of the holy
prophet of Allah and began weeping bitterly and he told him there
is a request from his side. He said he remembered it. He was kind
enough about my condition and he said to lift the head and when I
196
lifted my head, then he told me to recite Sura Yousuf so that you

can memorize Quran and when my eyes opened, then I began to
recite Sura Yousuf always and in this way I was memorizing the
Quran.”
To recite Sura Iqlas for the memorization of the holy Quran
Afterward, he said “ He heard of the holy tongue of Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti that Abu Yousuf Chisti did not memorize the
Quran and one night he was sleeping in this condition of worry
and he was seen his spiritual master in his dream and who asked
him “Why he is so much worried? He told him he was worried for
not memorization of the Quran. He told him to recite daily 1000
times Sura Iqlas with the intention of memorization of the Quran
then Allah will help him in this matter. If another person will
recite as the above method, then he will also able to memorize the
Holy Quran. When he was waking up and as per instruction he
was used to recite 1000 times Sura Iqlas daily and in a few days
due to the kind grace of Allah he was memorizing the holy Quran.
In the last days of his life he got perfection and he was used to
recite five times, Quran daily then used to engage in other works.”
When the Sheikh of Islam ended these benefits and he went
into the condition of intoxication so for this reason the well-
wisher left from the meeting place and reached into his house
which he was made in the ruin place for the remembrance of
Allah there.
The water reservoir of Shamsi in Delhi
On the Friday in the month of Shawwal during the year 584
Hegira, the wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was
available to me. Some Darwesh and pious persons were also
present at the meeting place and the discussion about the water
reservoir of Shamsi in Delhi was started. The Qutub of Islam told
by his holy tongue that “When Sultan Shamuddin want to
construct one reservoir in Delhi so he left his palace along with
his courtiers and ministers to search the place and he was reaching
197
the spot on which the water reserve is located and he said that
place is suitable for the reservoir as he was a pious person of his
time.
With this intention, he was sleeping on the prayer mat and he
was seen in the dream that one smart and man with a commanding
personality and his qualities he could not able to describe by him
and he was there on the horse along with his companions. When
he looked at me and he was calling me to come near to him and
he was asked me what is his intention.? The Sultan said he wanted
to construct one water reservoir here. During this conversation
one person who was standing near to him, told him in his ear
slowly that oh: Shams this is the prophet of Allah so you request
to him so that you can get your goal in this matter. As he was
thinking about the water reservoir so he was asked about it and he
was falling on his feet. So the Sultan requested the last prophet of
Allah in this matter by folding his hands. Then the prophet of
Allah strikes his hand on the ground and he said “ Oh: Shams dug
this place and from this place the fine water will be available from
there that such water will not be compared with the water of any
other place.” During this discussion he was waking up from the
dream. On that morning the Sultan wakes up from the dream and
went to the spot of the water reservoir and find on the place where
the hoof of the horse of the prophet strike on the earth and from
there the water was flowing. The Sultan stopped there and given
orders to build the water reservoir there.”
One who goes there and drink the water from the Shamsi
water reservoir and by swearing he will say that if 100,000 sweets
will be mixed, then such grand taste will not be found like the
water of Shamsi reservoir. The Qutub of Islam said with his holy
tongue that “The sweetness in the water is due to the blessing of
the feet of the prophet of Allah. The other reason of the piousness
of this water reservoir is that around it there are many holy
personalities are resting there and also it is not known how many
198
pious people will sleep there in the future time. Then Qutub of
Islam began weeping and said he will hope that he will also rest in
this place.”
Afterward, he said about Sultan Shamuddin that “He was a
person of great Eteqad (devotion) and nobody could not see him
in sleep and he used to wake up in the nights and he was used to
stand in the surprise in the night time. If he will sleep for some
time, then he was used to wake up soon. He used to take the water
for his ablution by himself and he used to sit on the prayer mat
and busies himself in the worship of Allah. And he did not use to
call his servant in the palace and used to say he did not want to
give trouble to the sleepy persons in the night time.” He said “For
many nights he used to wear Qirqa (saintly) dress and he did not
disclose to anybody except his one person who knows this secret
in this matter and take with him in the nights and he used to take
along with him the bags of gold coins and he used to visit the
doors of the Muslim persons and used to inquire their affairs and
used to distribute the bags of gold coins to them. Afterward, he
used to visit the following places.
1. The mosques
2. The shrines
3. The worship places
4. The bazaars
He used to give gold coin bags to the people who live in the
above places and made 100,000 excuses in this matter and used to
prohibit them not to disclose this matter to anybody.
At the time of the daybreak he will ask generally to bring the
Muslim person who slept hungry in the last night. Then, as per his
command when the people will bring there, then he used to give
them assistance as per requirements and from him he used take
swearing that if they need the food grains or if anybody caused
them atrocities or harm upon them then they should visit him. As
he will be available on the throne and the chain of the bell of the
199
justice is hanging on his door. So shake it so that he will do

justice to all of these matters so that on the day of judgment you
should not claim against him there before Allah.”
The Qutub of Islam said “He used to do such things because
he want to get sincerity on the day of judgement so he used to say
all of them to see him for his help but they do not come to see him
in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “Once he came to see him and he caught his
feet and so he asked him what is his desire.? And then he said “
Due to the kindness, Allah was giving him the kingdom and he
had everything with him. But there is his request that he does not
know in which group he will be included on the day of judgment
and how his account of deeds will be settled there and he said this
and then he left for him.”
Afterward, he said “He was a pious man who involves in
good deeds and he was a slave of the Darwesh persons and his
every particle of the body was full of the love the Darwesh
persons.”
Afterward, he said once he was travelling toward Badayun
and Shamsuddin was in Badayun. One day he left from there to
play the ball and on the way one weak old man asked him
something from him but he did not give him anything. When he
was proceeding further and he finds a healthy young man to
whom he was given some coins from his money bag. When he
was proceeding further, he told his courtiers and ministers “ See
the old man who was asked from him something, but he did not
give him anything and he was given some Rupees to that healthy
young man without asking from him. This is for your information
that if there will be his willingness in this matter, then he would
give something to the old person who was deserved in this matter.
But Allah gives to anybody whoever He likes and in the middle
who is he to say that he was given something to somebody and
whatever is there which depends upon the willingness of Allah.”
200
The piousness of Sheikh Jalaluddin of Tabriz

In this situation he said “From the Sheikh of Islam, Delhi
there was an imputation on his brother Sheikh Jalaluddin of
Tabriz that he is claimed of Darweshi (mysticism) but his
thoughts are towards richness. When Shamsuddin was heard this
he did not say anything before Jalaluddin. ”
When there will be a special work of Sheikh of Islam, Delhi
so he was called Jalaluddin there and he was asked “To present
before him and asked to propose any judge in the claim.” Sheikh
of Islam, Delhi told him that “Any person to be proposed as judge
from his side. And Sheikh Jalaluddin was proposed Sheikh
Bahauddin Zikeria as the judgment in the case.” The Sheikh of
Islam asked him that, “ He should be called at the meeting.”
In this way the next day all pious people were gathered before
Sultan Shamuddin. Sheikh Jalaluddin was also coming there and
he sat in the group of the general persons. The Sultan requested
Sheikh Jalaluddin to sit in a higher place than him. But Sheikh
Jalaluddin said “As he is facing the problem of claim so at this
time, this place is better for him.” Afterward the Sheikh of Islam
of Delhi was explaining the sayings and narrations of Sheikh
Jalauddin pertaining to the situation. During this time Sheikh
Bahauddin Zikeria came over there so all persons were surprised
in this matter. All people began saying to each other how he came
to know in this matter and when he was starting from Multan and
when he was reached to Delhi and he was standing in the meeting
place at the place where all persons used to keep their foot wears.
He was recognized the sandals of Sheikh Jalaluddin and he
collected them and kissed with his eyes and he put the sandals in
this sleeve and said Salam and he did not say anything about the
saintliness of Sheikh Jalaluddin because when Bahauddin who
was acting there as a judge and when he kissed the sandals of
Sheikh Jalaluddin and put it in his sleeves. So it was becoming
clear that the claim was false which was accused by the Sheikh of
201
Islam of Delhi on Sheikh Jalaluddin so that false things are not

found in his habits. So Sultan Shamuddin regretted by him in this
matter.”
In short Sheikh Jalaluddin and Sheikh Bahauddin went to
the side of a river and they stayed there at that night. On the day,
break Sheikh Bahauddin went towards Multan and Sheikh
Jalaluddin went towards Lucknow. Both of them lived for a long
period.
In short afterwards still after the above event a short period of
time was not passed, then Sheikh of Islam suffered with heavy
pain in his stomach and he was dying due to such trouble.
Afterward the discussion about the world was started. He was
told by his holy tongue that “ For a mystic person there is no great
veil for him than the world. Because no such person will not
become pious unless he will engage in the world. The people of
mysticism said that there is no such great veil of the world
between the man and his Lord. So one who should engage himself
in the world, then he will be become away from Allah. The people
who are busy in the world as much then for such lengthen time
they will be away from Allah and they will be separated from
Him.”
Satan will be happy with the love of the world
He said when the love of the world was kept in the world, then
the angels haven't liked and compel it. But the Satan was happy in
this matter and he said that the disturbance which is the
foundation was laid by the sons of prophet Adam (A.S.). Because
of the ill gotten things the brother will kill his brother and in this
way there will be an end of the relations between the relatives and
many cities will be destroyed. Then persons will be separated
from other persons. There will be enmity between them and they
will be killed. But the world will be alive.
The Satan keeps the love of the world with great respect and
202
honour in his eyes. There was command of Allah in this matter. “

Oh: Azazel what you did in this matter.? That you have kept the
love of the world with great respect and honour in your eyes.” He
said, “ Oh: my Lord, because the one who will love the world,
then he will become his follower so he will engage in it. And I
will also try to keep him engaged more in this matter. To such
extent that he will be away from the following things in this
matter.”
1. Sincerity
2. Worship
3. Good deeds
So in this way that sinner person will become his follower and
then I will kill him and all his wealth and his belongings will be
taken by other persons and he will be left from the middle.”
The world and the Darwesh persons
Afterward Khaja Qutub of Islam said with his holy tongue that
“The world is very unfaithful and very cunning.” He said again
that “ The world is the friends of all persons, but is it not friends
of the Darwesh persons. Because they have rejected it and they
kept it away from them.”
Afterward, he said Khaja Yousuf Chisti used to say “ In the
religion of Islam, there are such great pious persons are there that
the world will come in the door of the Darwesh persons thousand
times and will say to them, “Oh: masters if you don't accept me
then sometime look at the old lady but they will tell her that go
from there if you come again there then she will be killed.”
Afterward the above he said this event that “ Prophet Jesus
(A.S.) was seeing a black and ugly old woman and asked her who
is she.?” And she said “ She is an old lady who is the world.” And
he asked her “How many husbands she has.?” She replied “In
large numbers and not able to count down all of them.” Then
prophet Jesus (A.S.) told her “How much she had divorced her?”
203
She said “She was killed all of them.”

The starvation of Darwesh persons is the excellence of
indigence
The Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said “In the
mysticism there is comfort available in it and it is away from the
problems of the world. But there are difficulties and hardness in
the work of mysticism. In the night when there will be hunger of
the Darwesh then it is the excellence of the Darwesh person.
Because the people of pious and Sufi masters says “ Al-meraf al-
faqr fil Laila al-faqa”.
It means the starvation in the night is the excellence of the
Darwesh persons. So the grace of starvation of the Darwesh
person is kept option with the Darwesh person. Because the world
has given to him so he can use it as per his wish and willingness.
So he can use for his own use, but he will not use for him and so
he will give it to others and he will do starvation in this matter and
with his work then he will get progress and improvement in this
matter.”
When Sheikh of Islam ended these benefits and he went into
the condition of intoxication so for this reason the well wisher left
from the meeting place and reached into his house which he was
Zikr (Invocation)
On the Wednesday during the year 584 Hegira the wealth of
the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available to me. Some
Darwesh persons of pure heart and Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori,
Moulana Shabuddin Oushi, Mahmud Moza Doz, Khaja Tajuddin
Ghaznavi, Moualana Faqiah Khudad, Syed Nooruddin Mubark
Ghaznavi, Syed Sharafuddin, Shamsuddin Turk, Moulana
Alauddin Kirmani, Qazi Emaduddin, Moulana Fakheruddin
Zayanam who were the persons of miracles and revelation were
present at the meeting place. The discussion about mysticism was
204
in progress in the meeting place. During this Qutub of Islam said

“One day Imam of Harmian was sitting with his companions there
and at that time the condition of intoxication was prevailed upon
him.
The Imam of Harmain started the Zikar (remembrance of
Allah) so all the pious persons who were present at the meeting
place also followed him in this matter, and they were un-aware of
their conditions in this matter. There was a discharge of blood
started from their small hairs of their bodies and with each and
every of the drop which will fall on the earth and with it the
painting of Allah was formed there and also from that drop of
blood Ziker (remembrance) of Allah was started. When Khaja
Saheb stated this event, then the condition of ecstasy was
prevailed upon him and all persons have started Ziker of Allah
and which was reached to its great height and so for this reason
they become un-consciousness. Then Khaja Saheb recited the
following Rubai (quatrain) in the Persian poetry and its translation
“ He will hear the talk your of happiness from all persons and the
explanation of your grief is heard of him from his heart.
Unless he will not hear your name from anybody, then he will not
allow him to sit near to him.”
The people of the meeting were engaged in the remembrance
of Allah (Zikr) very much so for this reason there was a
discharge of blood from the small hairs of their bodies and from
every drop of the blood there was painting of ‘Subhan Allah’
(Allah is praised) was created and there was Zikr (remembrance)
of Allah in the loud voice from each and every drop of the blood
which was fallen on the earth.
When Khaja Saheb was completed Zikar then the well wisher
was put his head on the ground and it was my intention to proceed
towards Hansi. Then Sheikh of Islam looked at me and there were
tears in his eyes and he said “Moulana Farid I know that you will
205
go. So the well wisher put his head on the ground and told him,
“If there will be your command.” He said “ Go”, as it is required
by the fate of Allah that you will be not with me at the time of my
last journey.” Then he addressed the persons who were present in
the meeting “To recite verse Fateha for the increase of graces of
this world and another world for the well wisher and pray for his
well being in this matter.” Then he was given me the prayer mat
and staff and asked the well wisher to pray for two Rakat (one set
of standing genuflexion and prostration in prayers) prayer of
thanks. Then Sheikh asked me to sit down I was sitting there and
he told me to go by tomorrow.
As per Khaja Saheb’s instruction I was prayed two Rakat
prayer of thanks and sat there. Khaja Saheb looked at the well
wisher and he said “I will give you Amanat (entrust things) it
means his prayer mat,sandals, turbans, saintly dress which I will
give to Qazi Hammeduddin Nagori so you should collect these
things after five days of my death from him because all these
things belongs to you.”
When Khaja Saheb said this then there were large, loud crying
and weeping in the meeting place and also there was a very much
lamentation. So all persons prayed for Khaja Saheb. Afterward
Khwaja Saheb said “He was not present at the time of the death of
Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti and he was not given me his prayer mat
but I got the prayer mat as explained above.”
The fear of Allah
He said “It is compulsory for the disciple that he should be
firm on the way of the spiritual master and he should not exceed a
few from him so that he should not be ashamed in the day of
judgment. ”
Afterward the discussion about the fear of Allah was started.
He said with his holy tongue that “ The fear of Allah is like flog
which is kept for the un-respected persons because the one who
will do an act of un-respect will be flogged in this matter so he
206
will be corrected on this matter.”

The acceptance of religion of Islam by Zoroastrian doctor
He said that “Where there is fear of Allah is there and which
will smash the heart.” Afterward, he said “Once Khaja Sufian Suri
was suffering from trouble so caliph Harun al-Rashid was called a
Zoroastrian doctor on this matter and who was very wise one.
When he went near to Khwaja Suifan Suri and put his hand on his
chest and was made a slogan and he was becoming un-conscious
and was falling down and he said “ Subhan Allah (Allah is
praised) in the religion of Islam, there is such a person whose
heart is smashed by the fear of Allah.” The doctor recited the
Islamic creed and was become immediately Muslim. When this
news reached to caliph Harun al-Rasheed then he said he thought
that “He was sent a doctor to the patient, but he did not know that
the patient was going to a doctor.”
The wealth of world and the fear of Allah
The people of mysticism said “If the Darwesh person wants
the richness, then he should love with the wealthy person. If he
wants the price of the love of Allah then he should disappoint
from his desires and wishes. Then he will be able to get such
positions and if he will not like to do that then his works will be
breakable.”
The perfect spiritual master’s advices and farewell to his
perfect disciple
Afterward, he was addressed to me and said “ Oh: Farid you
are our friend in this world and another world. Do not be careless
because it is saying about mystic people that in the mystic way
there is fear and one who step on this way and if he will not act
upon the advice of the mystic people then he will not become a
pious person. Till he will not request with humility and grief to
enter into inside, then he will not get permission in this matter.
Unless he will not walk upside down then he will not get
207
permission to go inside of the court of Allah.”

He said “For a period 80 years he was requested with all
languages to enter inside, but He was not given permission in this
matter and unless he was not knocking the door with all his hands
He didn't open it. Unless he will not walk with all his feet in this
way he will not reach near the place of honour. In brief due to the
bearing the following difficulties he will able to reach to the
destination.
1. Ajazi (humility)
2. Enkasari (lowliness)
3. Taklafat (troubles)
When Khwaja Qutub of Islam ended his sayings about these
benefits, then all persons who were present at the meeting place
were put down their heads on the earth. Then Khwaja Saheb
raised all persons and on my turn he was taking me in his
shoulder and he wept and he said by his holy tongue “ Haza faraq
baini wa bainak”. It means it is now the time of separation
between me and you.
Afterward, he said to me “To fulfil the duties of devotion
because there is a hard struggle for the means of subsistence. Go,
I surrender you to Allah. And I enabled you to reach the place of
nearness and greatness.”
And he went into the condition of intoxication so, for this
reason, the well wisher left from the meeting place and reached
into his house.
These are the benefits of mysticism and which were heard by
the by the tongue of the Maqdum (master) of the world which are
added by me in this small book.
The End.

Preface
This is a very old book which is known by the title of

‘Rahatul-Qaloob’ in Persian and Urdu language and this book
was translated from Persian language into Urdu language and it
was published in the year 1911 A.D. by Mulla Wahidi. So it was
published 102 years ago. This translation of the most ancient and
celebrated Persian book about Sufi’ism will, I hope, be found
useful not only by the number of students familiar with the
subject at first hand, but also by many readers.
This is a small book in which there are advises and instructions
(spiritual way) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik (Arabic:
‫)َس اِل ك‬, a Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of
Sufism and all these details and sayings of the great Sufi Saint
and Sufi master Baba Fairduddin Ganj Shaker are added in this
book by his disciple and caliph Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya in the
year 656 Hegira. And also in this book there are some great
214
achievements which are not yet known to the general, persons and
other persons are published in a very interesting style so for this
reason the readers will find great interest and attention in this
matter.

positive information in it so it is like an ocean of knowledge and
information of the holy saint and who have passed away from
the world upon doing his great endeavours and many hard tasks

land so this book is small one but it will present the ocean of

world where there is great search and demand of the books of
last prophet.
To write about this great saint Hazrat Khaja Fariduddin Ganj
Shaker is not only it is difficult and but it is very hard task as he
was not only a great pious personality of his time in the Indian
sub-continent, but he was also a great personality who is known
215
for many of his great achievements and miracles so in brief he

was Qu’tub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time
and who did many great endeavours for the preaching and

216
The Biography of Hadrat Khwaja Fariduddin Ganj Shaker
In the sub-continent the religion of Islam was spread due to the

hard endeavours and tasks by the Sufi personalities. In this region,
the presence of these pious personalities is the great gift of Allah.
In the Indian sub-continent the Muslims rulers ruled India for
about a period of 1000 years. But, during this period there was
severe obstacles in this way from the forces of the Indian culture
against the preaching and propagation of the mission work of the
Sufi saints, but their efforts and endeavours were not able to get
the successful results to stop the door of Islam in the Indian sub-
continent.
Professor H. A. R. Gibb, who wrote his opinion which is as
follows.“That there were many situations which were coming in
the history of Islam to stop its Islamic culture severally but there
was no success for it. Its main reason of its success was that at
that time there was help from the styles of Sufi masters which was
helped the movement in this matter and it will give them much
217
power and energy to it that all forces were not successful in this
matter.”
The hands of Sufi masters have been always busy to check and
help the pulse and mind of the Muslim community. They were
also trying hard to stop the waves of the materialism and mental
confusion, and in this way they have done great work in this
matter.
There is no doubt that when the pious persons saw the
condition of the character and conduct was falling down, then
they were trying their best for their endeavours of mental and
practical tasks for bringing up the healthy persons in this matter.
When Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki was appointed Khaja Fariduddin
Ganj Shaker on the throne of preaching and propagation in Delhi
and at that time there were conditions which were prevailing
were very difficult and also there were worse problems. At that
time the Sultan of Delhi Altemish died there. Many famous and
reputed Mashaiqs (learned persons) were entered in the fields of
politics for the worldly gain and benefits. But Baba Farid, who
was avoiding all those situations successfully and he was able to
did his great endeavours and tasks for the preaching and
propagation of Islamic mission successfully there and so all his
services and endeavours towards the Islamic mission should be
written in the golden words in the history books.
At that time Baba Saheb was seated there on the shrine of
Baba Bakhtiar Kaki and when he began thinking that the
condition and situation which is not suitable and affecting the
work of the teaching and preaching mission work of Islam there
in Delhi so he decided to leave Delhi to continue his mission work
of Islam in Hansi. Some persons have made objection in this
matter and they told him “ His spiritual master was given him
this place for teaching and preaching mission work of Islam
there.” And this objection which is available in the book Sairal
Auliya on page number 73. So Baba Saheb said “ His spiritual
218
master who was giving him the greatest blessing of this work and
which is not related to any particular place.”
Baba Saheb first went to Hansi city and from there he went to
Ajodhan which is an old name of Pakpatam. Where he was
trained his disciples under his special pattern of training. Their
details are as follows.
1. Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi
2. Sheikh Baderuddin Ishaque
3. Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya
4.Sheikh Ali Ahmed Saber Kalari
5. Sheikh Arif
The above persons were becoming great pious personalities
under the special training of Baba Saheb and they were spread
throughout the country and they were preached and propagated
the religion of Islam in all corners of the country.

His ancestors
Baba Saheb’s grandfather had three sons and the details are as
follows. 1.Khaja Jamaluddin Sulaiman 2.Khaja Ahmed. 3. Khaja
Saad Haji.
Kaja Jamaluddin Sulaiman, who was the father of Baba Saheb
and he was a learned and perfect personality of his time and as
well as a pious person. When Khaja Shoeb was residing in
Khatwal village and at that time one family was migrated from
the suburbs of Kabul and was settled down in the suburbs of
Multan in Kot Kadud village and the name of the head of the
family was Moulana Wajhiuddin Khajwandi and who was a
great learned person and as well as a pious person of his time and
his genealogical record was connected with Abbas bin Abed
Muttalib and he has one daughter and her name was Qarsam
Khatoon. Khaja Shoeb was requested Maulana Wajhiuddin for the
marriage of his son Khaja Sulaiman with Qarsam Khatoon and
this requested was immediately accepted by him and in this way
the marriage ceremony was celebrated.
As per reference from the biographies of authors Qarsam
Khatoon was a very pious lady and who was very much
interested in worship like Khaja Sulaiman. It was recorded in the
books that she was used to busying all night in the worship of
Allah and for this reason, she has secured the position and status
of Velayat (saintliness) due to her very much worship.
Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya said “ One night she was busy in
the Tahaj’jud (supererogatory prayer in the early hours of the
morning) prayer and at that time one thief was entered into the
220
house and upon the sight of Qarsam Khatoon the thief was lost his
eyesight immediately. Upon this, the thief was began weeping
and said, “ Due to the pious lady’s curse and he was losing his
eyesight and to whom he will promise that if he will get back his
eyesight then he never commit theft again during his whole life
period.”
There was very much effect upon the pious lady Qarsam
Khatoon due to the weeping of the thief and for his request for
the pardon. So for this reason, she has prayed Allah for the
recovery of the eyesight of the thief. Due to the kind grace of
Allah the thief was recovered back his eyesight immediately on
the spot and, for this reason, he was falling down at the feet of the
pious lady and he requested her to forgive him in this matter and
upon her pardon, he left from her house.
Next day the thief was visited Qarsam Khatoon along with his
family members and was accepted the religion of Islam. Qarsam
Khatoon named him Abdullah and upon entering into the fold of
Islam, he was doing hard endeavours and tough tasks and for this
reason he was getting the status of Velayat (saintliness) due to the
kind grace of Allah. The family of Khaja Shoeb was awarded him
the title ‘Chavle Sheikh’ and after that the village Khatwal was
becoming famous and well known by the name of ‘Chavle
Sheikh’ village.
Allah was granted Khaja Shoeb and Khaja Sulaiman three sons
and one daughter and their details are as follows.
1. Azizuddin
2. Baba Farid Ganj Shaker
3. Najibudddin Mutwakil
4.Bibi Hajira alias Jamil Khatoon who was the mother of Sheikh
Alauddin Ali Ahmed Saberi Kailari
Early education
221
Still Baba Saheb was in his young age, then his father died so,
for this reason, the responsibility for education and training of
Baba Saheb was falling on his mother. As she was possessed great
position in the knowledge. She was trained and was given an
education to his dear son Baba Saheb with care and attention.
Baba Saheb completed his early education in Khatwal village and
he was a hard working student and a genius one so for this reason
once he will study his lesson then he will never forget it.
Since his early age, he was possessed higher character and
conduct and he has never played and lived in the company of
mischievous and bad conduct boys. Due to the effect of his
mother’s training, he has started prayers since his childhood
period and he was punctual in this matter. At the age of seven
years he was completing his early religious books in the Khatwal
village so for this reason his mother was worried in this matter as
there was no learned person was not available in the village who
can teach him the current knowledge. At that time, Multan City
was a famous learning center of Islamic knowledge and wisdom
and there were available so many great learned personalities there
so, for this reason, Baba Saheb’s mother was sent him to Multan
City for his further education purpose there.
Stay in Multan
Upon reaching Multan city he was settled down in one mosque
and this mosque was located in a caravan, lodge and in that
mosque famous and a great learned person Minhajuddin who
used to teach the students in the mosque there. Baba Saheb took
teaching lessons from him in the Islamic knowledges and within
a period of three years he was completed the following
knowledges.
1. Exegesis of the Quran
2. Hadith (The sayings of the prophet)
3. Basic
4 Rhetoric
5. Philosophy
222
6. Logic
7. Mathematics
8. Astronomy
As per tradition, it is known that he was memorizing the Holy
Quran in the above mosque and some other authors of the
biographies, says he was memorizing the Holy Quran in Khatwal
village.
In that mosque, one day Baba Saheb was studying the famous
Fiqa (Islamic law) book Nafe and at that time Khaja Bakhtiar
Kaki was coming there and found him busy with the study of the
above book so he was asked him “ Oh: boy what you are
reading?” and he was replied him that “ He was reading the book
Nafe. So the Sheikh was asked again him whether any gain from
it. Upon looking the Sheikh, there was a strange condition which
prevailed upon him so he put his head on his feet and told him “
Oh: Sheikh there will effect of the chemical reaction from his
eyesight for him”. So for this reason, Baba Saheb attached
himself with the great Sheikh of his time in India. During his
whole period of stay in Multan, Baba Saheb was greatly
benefitted in the company of Khaja Bakhtiyar Kaki and upon the
Shaikh’s departure from Multan to Delhi, he was also going to
Delhi along with him. After the journey of some miles, the Sheikh
told him as follows.
“ My dear, spent some more time in the learning of knowledge
of Zaheri (manifest) and upon its completion come to see him
and by the will of Allah he will reach to his destination.”
Baba Saheb was followed the instruction of his Sheikh and
upon completion of the education at Multan, he was visiting the
following places 1. Qandhar 2. Ghazni 3. Baghdad 4. Sewastan 5.
Badakshan, for the learning of knowledge for a period of five
years and then he was reaching Delhi and visited the Shaikh’s
residence.
The Shaikh told him “ Well, he completed his work and come
to see him.” In some books it is mentioned that Baba Saheb was
223
coming to Delhi and become the disciple of Khaja Bakhtiyar

Kaki and Baba Saheb was mentioned in his book Fawad-al Salkin
the event of his Bait (pledge) which is as follows.
“ When this lower status person and servants of the Sufi masters
was touched the feet of Sheikh Bakhtiayar Kaki then the Sheikh
was placed, his Turkey cap on his head and on that occasion the
following persons were present at the meeting place.
1. Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori
2. Moulana Alauddin Kirmani
3. Syed Noorddin Mubarak
4. Sheikh Nizamuddin al-Muvaid
5. Moulana Shamsuddin Turk
6. Sheikh Mahmud Muza Douz
And also many Darwesh persons were present in that meeting
place. The Sheikh told following words which are as follows.
“ Farid : the teacher should possess such power of the Batany
(innermost) that he should clear the filth of the chest of Murid
(disciple) with the spiritual power within a minute at the time of
his Bait (pledge) and he should divert his attention towards Allah.
If the Murshid (spiritual master) does not possess such power,
then both the Murshid (spiritual master) and disciple are in the
desert of the darkness.”
Some authors as per their own thinking were mentioned that
the Sheikh was taken Baba Saheb’s pledge in Multan but when he
comes back to Delhi upon the completion of his tourism and
education, then at that time he was awarded him the Turkey cap
and put it on his head and included him among his disciples.
Baba Saheb was observed that due to very much movement of
the persons in Delhi he was feeling no peace of mind with him
there so he was obtained permission from his spiritual master and
went to Hansi city and but he was used to visiting Delhi to see
his spiritual master.
Once Baba Saheb visited Delhi and found Harat Khaja
Moinuddin Ajmari was there so, for this reason, he was greatly
224
benefitted by his attention and care in Delhi. As per reference

from the book Sair Arifain in which it was mentioned that
Hadzrat Khwaja Ajmeri was greatly impressed by Baba Saheb’s
interest and attention as well as his spiritual capacity so, for this
reason, he told Baba Saheb’s spiritual master and his disciple and
caliph Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki which is as follows.
“ Baba Bakhtiar : he is a great falcon of Islam, whose residence
is on Sidartul Muntaha (The heavenly tree beyond which even
angel Gabriel can not advance) and he is the lamp of the Sufi and
Darwesh persons.”
Ganj Shaker
Regarding the meaning of Ganj (treasure) Shaker (sugar),
there are different opinions are available by the different writers
on this matter. Here only three traditions are added in this book.
The Sheikh’s title ‘Ganj Shaker’ in modern literal terminology
can be translated as sugar bank.
As per reference from the history book of Farista that Baba
Saheb’s mother who was used to train him for regular prayer in
the childhood period so she used to put sugar packet under the
prayer mat. And she used to tell him that the boys who will pray
will find daily the sugar packet under the prayer mats. One day it
happened that she forget to put the sugar packet under the prayer
mat so for this reason she was worried about this matter and she
asked him “ Masood have you prayed today?.” Baba Saheb
replied her “ He was praying and found the sugar and eat it.”
Upon listening Baba Saheb’s reply, she was surprised and she was
thought that there was help for him from the invisible source to
encourage him in this matter and so from that time she began
calling her son Masood as Gunj Shaker.
As per references from the book Aqbar Aqtiar, Qazinatial
Asfia and Gulzar Abarar, wherein it was mentioned one event
which is as follows. One merchant was going to Delhi from
225
Multan carrying sugar on his cart and at Ajodhan Baba Saheb was
standing there and asked the merchant what he was carrying on
his cart.?, The merchant told him falsely that he was carrying salt
on his cart to avoid him. Baba Saheb told him “Yes, it may be
salty.” Upon reaching Delhi the merchant found that in all bags
there was salt instead of sugar and for this reason he was worried
and upset in this matter for his great loss and he come back to see
Baba Saheb in Ajodhan and was requested him to forgive him for
his mistake. Baba Saheb told him “Not to say false in the future,
which is a very bad thing.” Again Baba Saheb told him, “ If there
was sugar in the bags, then by the grace of Allah sugar will be
available him.” The merchant was repented in this matter and
find sugar in the bags while reaching back to Delhi city. This
event was described by Bairam Khan Khane Khanan in his
Persian couplet and which is as follows.
Once Baba Saheb observed three days fasting as per

instruction of his spiritual master and on the third day he was
breaking the fast with breads brought by somebody and he
thought the breads were sent by an invisible source from Allah
but soon he was vomited all the food. After this event he went to
see his spiritual master and explained the details so the spiritual
master told him “ The breads were brought to him by a liquor
drinker and gambler. There was help from Allah in this matter
that his stomach did not accept that food so keep fast again and
break the fast with the food which will be available from an
invisible source.” So for this reason Baba Saheb kept again fast
for three days and he could not get anything to break the fast. In
the night due to hunger he kept some small stones in his mouth
and by the grace of Allah those small stones were converted into
226
sugar. Upon this event he went to see his spiritual master in this
matter and explained him all details and so the Sheikh told him
which is as follows.
“ Subahn Allah (Allah be praised) it was from un-seen help
from Allah. If Allah wills he will become sweet as sugar and will
be well known as Ganj Shaker.”
In this matter Jafer Qasimi was writing a great thing that
“He was well known as Ganj Shaker as his nature was very
sweet.”
Upon becoming the caliph of his Sheikh he was granted
permission from his Sheikh and he went to Hansi for the teaching
and preaching and Islamic mission work there for the service of
the mankind. Upon reaching Hansi in a few days, he has seen in
his dream that his spiritual master left the world so upon waking
up he went to Delhi., In Delhi he was found that his spiritual
master was left the following things for him with Qazi
Hameeduddin Nagori.
1. Saintly dress.
2. Staff.
3. Sandals.
4. Prayer mat.
And also some other relics which were kept for him and the
Sheikh before his death was declared Baba Saheb as his spiritual
successor.
Baba Saheb visited the mausoleum of his great Sufi master.
After that caliph of Sheikh Qutubuddin and other disciple’s
meeting took place in Delhi and all persons were accepted him the
successor of the Sheikh and at that meeting all relics and all other
belonging of the Sheikh were awarded to Baba Saheb.
Baba Saheb stayed in the shrine of his Sufi master and he was
always used to busy day and night in his worship schedule, there,
but he will use to come out only for Friday congregational
prayers. One Friday when he was out of the shrine and was found
one Darwesh persons at the door who was caught hold of the
227
shirt and told him “ Oh : Sheikh of the world , the people of

Hansi city were suffering like a fish due to your separation so
be kind in this matter and benefit the people of Hansi with his
presence there and help them in this matter.”
After Friday prayer Baba Saheb was declared to leave Delhi
for his stay in Hansi so there a was great worry among the people
and they have requested him to stay in Delhi so he told the
following.
“That his presence is much more required in Hansi than Delhi
so for this reason he should go to Hansi.” Upon Baba Saheb’s
explanation all persons were become silent and he went to Hansi
for his mission work there. Baba Saheb was staying at Hans for a
long period and during his stay there the people of Hans were
greatly benefitted by his spiritual personality. In Hansi city there
was one person named as Jamaluddin Hansavi who was trying
hard for spiritual endeavours and mystical exercises there and
due to innermost help of Baba Saheb he was obtained his final
destination and reached higher status and when the large number
of people were increased very much so for this reason he left
Hansi city while granting his caliphate to Jamaluddin Hansavi and
Baba Saheb went towards Ajodhan (Pakpatam) and this area was
under severe darkness of Kufar (infidelity) and Shirk (polytheism)
at that time.
Baba Saheb in Pakpatm
From Hansi he went to Khatwal village and he was residing
there in the service of his mother. There was very much rush of
the people towards him, but he was in habit of loneliness so he
was worried and upset in this matter and he took permission of his
mother to go Ajodhan and left Khatwal village and by visiting
many places he was settled down in Pakpatam and at that time
this village was very unknown and which was surrounded by
jungle areas and in which full of wild animals were there.
Around this village and up to other large areas there were villages
of non-believers were there. Baba Saheb settled down in this
228
village. One night his spiritual master was given him the
instructions in the dream to settle down in this village and to bring
the mankind to the right path of Allah. So Baba Saheb was settled
down outside of Ajodhan village on its western side under an
acacia tree and spread his prayer mat there and was started
worshipping of Allah. Near Ajodhan village there is one brooke
where Baba Saheb used to go there for ablution and bath and the
local people began saying it Pak Lok Ka Patam and they used to
respect this place very much and afterwards slowly this village
name became famous and well known as Pakpatam in the world.
Opposition
Due to hard task and the endeavours of Baba Saheb there was
great progress of Islamic religion in and around Ajodhan village
area and for this reason some persons due to their jealousy and
mean mentality they began their opposition of Bbaba Saheb and
his works in Ajodhan. Among these the Qazi (judge) and the
Imam (leader) of the mosque of Ajodhan village were leading this
movement. They had complained against Baba Saheb with
government representatives and also they began opposing against
the Sama (ecstasy) meetings of Baba Saheb. Baba Saheb due to
his higher thinking he did not care the activities and movements
against himself and for this reason he did not care and not paid
any attention in this matter. Due to not caring of the activities by
Baba Saheb the Qazi (judge) was becoming very angry and upset
in this matter and he began new conspiracies against Baba
Saheb.He was trying to get Fatwa (legal opinion) against Baba
Saheb from the learned persons of Multan.He wrote his letters to
the learned persons of Multan that there is one learned person is
here who listens Qawwali (chorister) and organized Sama
(ecstasy) meetings and he asked their Fatwa (legal opinion) in this
matter. The learned persons were asked the Qazi (judge) the
name of that person in this matter so he was informed Baba
229
Saheb’s name.Upon receiving the Baba Saheb’s name they were

refused to issue a Fatwa (legal opinion) against Baba Saheb and
they have informed him that “He was written the name of a great
Darwesh person who is a perfect follower of the Islamic Shariah
(law) and we are helpless in this matter to pass any Fatwa (legal
opinion) against him for this reason.”
Upon the result of above plot the Qazi (judge) was very upset
and angry in this matter so he tried his another plot to kill Baba
Saheb with a help of one greedy and tramp person and who was
un-lawful Qalender (dauntless) person. So that person was visited
Baba Saheb’s resident while hiding a sharp dagger under his
waist to kill him. At that time Baba Saheb was busy in the
worship of Allah and he was in prostration and with him only
Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya was present there. In prostration Baba
Sheb told him “Is there any person is there?. The leader of Sufi
persons replied him “ Here his slave Nizamuddin is present
alone here.’’ Baba Saheb told him “ There is one Qalendar
(dauntless) in the shrine building is present who is wearing white
earrings in his ears.” So Nizamuddin answered him “Yes”. In this
matter, then Baba Saheb told him “In his waist there is dagger is
hidden and he comes to kill him so asked him not to spoil his next
world and to leave the shrine building.” Due to this conversation
there was severe terror on the Qalander (dauntless) and he ran
from there immediately and went to see the Qazi (judge) and told
him which is as follows “ He could not able to kill such a great
pious man of Allah.”
Then the Qazi (judge) started his new scheme of conspiracy
against Baba Saheb with the help of Partwari (village revenue
officer) and the Patwari started to cause hardships to the sons of
Baba Saheb. When the atrocities were reached to the high level so
the Baba Saheb’s sons complained about Patwari with Baba
Saheb so he came into the position of Jalal (majesty) and put his
staff on the earth: and told “He will not disturb you.” At that
time sever pain in the stomach of the Patwari was started and he
230
began thinking his atrocities on the sons of Baba Saheb. So he

asked the persons to take him to Baba Saheb so the person took
him while putting him in his cot but he was dying on the way.
Due, to help of Allah all conspiracies of the Qazi (judge) were
become failure and all his enemies and opposite persons were
gone in the darkness and they were stopped their activities.
Training of the disciples
One day Khaja Jamaluddin Hansavi brought from jungle one
local fruit of dela (tenti) which is found usually in Rajasthan
and North India and its tree is called Karil.
This fruit is available in the market during summers. Khaja

Ishauqe brought firewood from the jungle. And Khaja
Nizamuddin was put the dela (tenti) fruits in the boiling water
on the firewood. By chance at that time there was no salt available
in the public kitchen to put into the dela (tenti) fruits so Khaja
Nizamuddin went to the shopkeeper and brought some salt on
credit basis from there.
Upon arrangement of the food on the eating cloth all Darwesh
were present there so Sheikh started eating the food with
supplication and put his first morsel in his mouth, but
immediately he put back it on the eating cloth and told the
Darwesh persons “It is heavy morsel and there is doubt in this
matter,?” Upon hearing this Khaja Nizamuddin stood and with
great respect he was explaining him that the firewood was
brought from the jungle by Moulana Baderuddin Ishauqe and dela
(tenti) fruits were brought by Jalamuddin and the water was
brought there by Husamuddin and he was boiling the fruit on the
231
firewood so he could not know how the morsel was becoming

heavy in this matter?. After one minute of silence the Sheikh
asked him “ From where the salt was coming there.?” Upon
hearing this Khaja Nizamuddin was surprised at this matter and
while folding his two hands, he was told “ His honour his
personality which knows all revelation that it was his mistake that
the dela (tent) fruits are sour in nature, so for this reason it will be
difficult to eatable them so for this reason he was brought the salt
from the shopkeeper on the credit basis.” Upon hearing this
Sheikh told him to distribute the food among the beggars and
advised him which is as follows.
“ Nizamuddin : it is better condition of Faqa (hunger) for the
Darwesh person than borrowing food for the soul’s pleasure by
the purchasing food on credit.” So Khaja Nizamuddin determined
in heart that he will not borrow loan from others. So the Sheikh
revealed in this matter and said that “There will be no such
situation of the loan which will arise for him in the future.”
For the removal of the poverty
When persons used to visit him to solve problems of the world
and hereafter, then in that situation he will ask them to refer their
problem in the light of Quran and Sunnah (practice) of the Allah’s
last prophet. Generally, he used to instruct them patience in this
matter with regular prayers to solve their difficulties and
problems. One day a person come there to visit him and told him
“ Oh: Sheikh, he is a very poor person and always he is passing
through starvation so please pray in this matter for him.” So he
advised him to recite Sura (verse) Juma from the Quran before
sleeping on a daily basis in the house for this matter.”
A letter of Sultan Balbon
One day a needy person visited Baba Saheb in Pakpatam and
he requested him “ Oh: Shaikh to write a letter to the Sultan of
Delhi Balbon so that his work will be completed there.” So
Sheikh told him that all works are done by Allah only so he will
pray for him in this matter and but that person insisted him in this
232
matter to write a letter to the Sultan of Delhi. So Sheikh wrote

his letter in Persian and its translation is as follows.
“ That he was presented this person’s need in the presence of

Allah and sent this man before him. So if he will reward him
something which will be deemed the thing from Allah and this
man will be grateful for him, but if he do not reward anything to
him then it will be deemed that it is from Allah but also, his
position will become as helpless in this matter.”
His connection with Bhaul Haque Zikeria Multani
There was very much love and affection between Baba Saheb
and great Sheikh of Islam Bhaul Haque Zikeria Multani who was
a Ghouth (one who redresses another’s grievance) of his time.
When Baba Saheb used to write letters addressed to him, then he
will write him as the Sheikh of Islam Bahaul Haque. Once some
persons asked him why he used to write as the Sheikh of Islam
Bahul Haque so he replied in this matter that he was found his
name as the Sheikh of Islam on the tablet as per reference from
the book Sair al-Aulia on the page number 82.
Once Sheikh of Islam Bahaul Haque wrote him that there is a
love affair between us so the Sheikh replied in his letter that there
is love between us, but there is no affair in this matter as per
reference from the book Sair-Arifian on the page number 54.
To follow the path of the pious persons
Sheikh Badruddin was his fellow disciple and in Delhi
Nizamuddin Kharitadar was constructed one building for him and
in which there were arrangements of amenities and many
facilities were available for him in that building. Once
Nizamuddin was involved in the theft of huge amount from the
royal treasury. So for this reason, there was disturbing to Sheikh
Badruddin in this matter so he wrote one sad letter to the Sheikh
and he explained to him the details of the problem and all its
aspects and the situation and requested him for his prayer to help
233
him in this matter and the copy of his request in Persian is as

follows.
The Sheikh sent his reply letter which is as follows.

“Dear brother: He got your letter and able to know all details
about it. One who will not follow the path of his pious person will
come across such situation and problems of sad things in this
matter. Among our holy, pious personalities, nobody never
constructed the shrine buildings for themselves and they sit in
them as per reference from the book Sairal Arifian on the page
number 51.
Interest for the ecstasy(Sama)
One day the Sheikh was desired to listen to Sama (ecstasy) and
by chance there were no Qawwals (choristers) were available
there at that time. The Sheikh was asked Badruddin Ishaque to
read the letter which was sent by Qazi Hamiduddin Nagori.
Moulana stood and began reading the letter for him and in that
letter after Hamd (praise of Allah) and Naat (encomium on the
holy prophet), it was written as follows.
1. Faqir (beggar)
2. Haqir (low)
3. Nahif (weak)
4. Zaif (old person)
5. Darwesh person
6. Humble servant
234
Upon hearing the following couplets of the Persian poetry

from the letter, there was some change on the condition of the
Sheikh and the situation of the ecstasy (Sama) was prevailed
upon him.
On another day, there was the desire for ecstasy (Sama) for
him so he began reading one line of poetry of Maulana Nizami
and he was continuing its recitation for the whole day and night
and he also repeated the same couplet for the next day also.
One day there were discussions in favour and its opposition of

ecstasy (Sama) so the Sheikh said the following phrase at that
time.
“ Subhan Allah, if somebody will die by its fire and others are
still in the condition of the disparity to accept this matter.”
Once he was told “ The ecstasy (Sama) is good for such
persons who should drown themselves into such condition that if
there will beat of 100,000 swords on their heads and if there will
be 1000 angels come down there and they say something in their
ears, then they will ignore the same as per reference from the
book Rahatal Qaloob on the page number 12.
Death
In the last days of the month of Zil-Hajj in the Hegira Islamic
calendar year 663 his illness was becoming severally worse and
for this reason there were hysterics of unconsciousness which
235
prevailed on him and despite of this serious ill health condition he

did not miss his five congregational prayers as well as
supererogatory prayers and also he was performed all his daily
recitals and practices.
On the fourth, Muherram one of his sincere old person whose
name was Syed Mohammed Kirman came to see him and asked
about the health condition with him and at that time Baba Saheb
was inside of his room and it was locked from inside of it. On the
outside of, the room his sons and disciples were discussing about
his succession. When these persons saw Syed Kirman and asked
him not to enter into Baba Saheb’s room as his health condition is
not good. Syed Kirman stood on the outside of the door and he
was beginning to think that he comes from Delhi to visit him and
why there will be objected if they allow him to touch the feet of
the Sheikh. At last Syed Kirman lost his control on him and he
was entered into the room and was put his head on the feet of the
Sheikh so he was opened his eyes and was asking him how he
is?. Syed Kirman told him “ Due to his prayer he is well and he
was just arriving here.” After Syed Kirman conveyed Salam from
all learned persons from Delhi and at last he was conveyed Salam
of Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya. When he did hear the name of
Khaja Nizamuddin then he was becoming happy in this matter
and asked how he is there?. Syed Kirman told him “He always
reminds him there.” So the Sheikh was much happier in this
matter and asked Moulana Baderuddin Ishauqe to send all relics
which he was getting from the chain of the Sufi masters and all
these things to be sent to Khaja Nizamuddin Badayuni as there is
the right of him over these things. After Magharib (sunset) prayer
his health condition was becoming worse again. He prayed the
Eisa (night) prayer in congregation and he was becoming un-
conscious again. Upon becoming conscious, he was asked
whether he was praying Eisa (night) prayer? And he replied
“Yes”. He was told that he will pray again the Eisa (night) prayer
and he was becoming un-conscious again. Upon becoming
236
conscious, he was asked again, whether he was praying Eisa

(night) prayer or not?. So he was told that he was prayed two
times. He was told “ He want to pray again because he do not
know whether he will not get the chance to pray again.? ’’ By
saying this he was performing ablution and was performed Eisa
(night) prayer with Witer (supererogatory) prayer and renewed his
ablution and went into the condition of prostration and said in
loud noise “Ya Haiul Ya Qayyum ( ) and left this mortal
world. Some minutes before his death, he was asked whether
Nizamuddin was coming there or not? And he was told “No”.
The Sheikh was told “ He was also not present at the time of
death of his spiritual master and he was there in Hansi.”
When Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya come to know about the
death news of Baba Saheb so he was rushed to Pakpatam and he
was there for some period of time and he was constructed tomb
over his grave and he was completing the recitation of one whole
Quran on each and every brick of the mausoleum building.
Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya’s routine in the shrine

He was used to keep open the shrine till midnight for the
convenience of the visitors and he was used to spend most part of
the night in the worship of Allah. After the sunrise also he was
used to busy in worship and meditation (Maraqba). He used to
take care for the cleanliness and ablution (Taharat) so he was used
to take a bath on a daily basis. After the morning worship, he
used to go in prostration for a period of two hours and during this
period he was used to pray silently there and some time he was
used to recite some poetry in the praise of Allah the Mighty Lord
of the worlds. Some time he was used to pray for the grace and
forgiveness of the mankind from his deep heart and after this he
used to see the visitors till the afternoon. After a short period of
rest he will be ready for Zuhar (afternoon) prayer and after this he
will pay attention to fulfil the needs of the shrine persons. He will
ask each and very person his condition and if there will be any
237
problem with them, then he will try his level best to solve the
problem and grievance. Every visitor can reach him easily.
He was resigned to the will of Allah
In Zuhed (mysticism) and Reza (resigned to the will of Allah),
there was no example like Baba Saheb. In his last age, he was
used to saying “Allah’s slave Masood obeyed his master
sincerely for a period of forty years. Now the present situation is
that due to the grace of Allah, there is such condition with him
that whatever he thinks in mind, then it will be happening
physically and whatever Masood desired was fulfilled by Allah.”
The details of the caliphs of Baba Saheb
There were many caliphs of Baba Saheb and the register of
the caliphs was available with Hazrat Jamaluddin Hansavi. Some
names of the Baba Saheb’s caliphs are as follows.

The End.
The biography of Hazrat Khaja

Nizamuddin Auliya
The mausoleum of Hazrat Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi

239
He was perfect in the knowledge of Zaheri (manifest) and Batani

(innermost). His heart which was full with the light of knowledge
and he was always interested to read the reliable books of Sufi
knowledge and information. He was much interested in the
following knowledges and he was followed the knowledge and
information on the following subjects of Imam Abu Hanifa.
1. Tafsir (exegesis) of Quran
2. Hadith (sayings of the holy prophet).
3. Rules of speech
4. Fiqa (Islamic law)
His father Hazrat Syed Ahmed bin Danial was migrated from
Ghazni, Afghanistan to India and he was settled down in the city
of Badayun. Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya was born in the month of
Safar in the Islamic Hegira calendar year 634.When he was five
years old his father was dying and at that time his mother was
admitted him in the local school. When he was 18 years old, he
was become perfect in all knowledges so in Badayun no teacher
was not available there to offer him further education. So he went
to Delhi along with his mother and settled down in one room
which was under the mosque of Hilal Tastdar.
At that time there was one great and famous theologian of
Islamic knowledge was there and his name was Khaja
Shamsuddin Khuwarzi to whom later Ghiyasuddin Balbon was
given him the title of Shamsul Mulk and included him among his
cabinet ministers. In his praise Tajuddin Sang Reza wrote the
following couplet in Persian language.
Before appointment of this post he was used to busy in the

teaching and preaching classes of Islamic studies in Delhi. Khaja
240
Nizamuddin Auliya met with him and was become his disciple in
Delhi. In his teaching place there was a special room for students
studying and in that room only intelligent and extraordinary three
students were allowed to study there and other students of
ordinary nature of skill were allowed to study outside of the room.
During the period of study of Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya and the
names of three fortunate students were are as follows.
1.Mulla Qutubuddin Naqala
2.Mulla Burhanuddin Abdul Baqi
3.Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya
When Shaikhul Mulk comes to know Nizamuddin Auliya ’s fast
learning and natural wisdom so for this reason he began paying
his respect among his students. Whenever any student will be
absent on any day, then he will use to tell him as follows in joke.
“ To tell him what a mistake he was done by him so he was
absent.? So that the student cannot commit the same mistake
again.’’But when Khaja Nizamuddin used to absent, then he will
use to remember him and recite some couplets of the Persian
poetry.
During his study period he was a neighbour of Sheikh

Najibuddin Mutawakil and who was the brother of Khaja
Fariduddin and who was master of learned persons of the Delhi
center of learning and for this reason Khaja Nizamuddin used to
sit in his company and get knowledge from him.
When Khaja Nizamuddin completed his education and
training, then he was attained great position and status so he
began searching a post to meet his financial needs and he wanted
the post of Qazi (judge). One day during his conversation with
Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil he told him to pray “ For his
appointment as Qazi (judge) in some place and so that he can
241
help the mankind to favour them and do justice for them.” But
Sheikh Najibuddin did not hear his request. So he told him again
in loud noise to pray for his appointment of Qazi (judge) in some
place. At this time Sheikh Najibuddin Mutakwil said him,“
Nizamuddin does not become Qazi (judge) but become turn out to
be something other and he advised him to see his brother Khaja
Fariduddin Ganj Shaker.”
That night Khaja Nizamuddin was staying in Jamia (grand)
mosque of Delhi. By chance Muazzin (one who shouts the call to
pray) stood on the minaret and recited the following Ayat (verse)
before Fajr (morning) prayer.
Upon hearing this Ayat (verse) the condition of the Sheikh

was changed. In those days there was great fame for the
greatness and miracles of Baba Faird Ganj Shaker. During the
meetings of Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil, Sheikh Nizamuddin
becomes an admirer of Baba Farid and wanted to see him upon
hearing the events and endeavours of his life. In the morning
without travelling expenses and convenience facilities Sheikh
Nizamuddin started his journey towards Ajodan on his feet and he
was met Baba Faird on Thursday and upon seeing Baba Saheb
recited the following Persian couplet.
Sheikh Nizamuddin wanted to explain Baba Farid, his

condition of the eagerness of the heart and sincerity, but due to
his fear he could not say anything in this matter.
But Baba Faird with great love and affection told him “
Welcome and greetings to him and due to the grace of Allah, he
will be benefitted greatly by blessings in the both worlds.” Then
Sheikh Nizamuddin was getting Qirqa (saintly dress) and he was
242
becoming head of the group of special disciples of the Sheikh of

the world.
In those days Baba Saheb was living in poor financial
conditions and facing much difficulty in this matter. The
dependants and his sons were used to live in condition of
starvation and despite of this fact, nobody in the shrine building
was not upset and sad in this matter. There was prevailing of
patience and thanks on the faces of all persons. Moulana
Baderuddin Ishaque who was expert in extra religious knowledge
and who used to bring wood from the jungle for the public kitchen
and Moulana Sheikh Jamaluddin used to bring from the jungle
dela (tenti) fruits and which are used in preparation of pickles
and curries and Moulana Husamuddin Kaboli used to bring the
water and cleans the cauldrons. And Sheikh Nizamuddin used to
the prepare food in the public kitchen and he used to present all
food items before the Sheikh of the world at the time of fast
breaking.
One day when all persons were seated at their places and food
items were placed before them. Then the Sheikh of the world took
one morsel of it and by saying it seems it is heavy and he was put
back the morsel in the plate.
Sheikh Nizamuddin says “ Upon hearing these words, his
body was beginning to shiver and he was standing there and said
in this matter that “ Oh helper of the persons, wood, dela fruits
and water were brought by Moulana Baderuddin, Moulana
Husamuddin and Sheikh Jamaluddin. So I could not know the
reason for doubt in this matter and the helper of the persons know
all things.”.
The Sheikh of the world said “ The salt which was used in the
food from where it was coming.? Upon hearing this Sheikh
Nizamuddin put his head on the ground and he said” Today there
was no salt in the shrine so he brought salt on the credit from the
grocer and put it in the cauldron.”
243
The Sheikh of the world said “ It is good that the Darwesh

persons should face the condition of starvation, but they should
not take credit from anybody for the pleasure of the soul.
Because in between loan and trust there is radical difference and
if the loan was not paid then it will be a problem in the neck of the
person on the day of judgment.” Then the Sheikh said “ To take
away this food from the Darwesh persons and to give it to the
needy persons.”
Sheikh Nizamuddin said “ He used to borrow loan some time
from the other persons like others.” But from that day he was
firmly determined in this matter that he will not borrow loan from
other people even in case of great need and necessity.” At that
time the Sheikh of the world was giving him that blanket on
which he was seated there and he was prayed which is as follows.
“ Oh: the Lord of the worlds, in future do not never made
Nizamuddin stand in need for the loan.”
After a long period of time when Sheikh Nizamuddin was
become perfect in the following things
1.Service
2.Obedience
then the Sheikh of the world was instructing him to continue the
work of preaching and propagation to the mankind and sent him
to Delhi in the 659 Hegira Islamic calendar year.
In Delhi the Sheikh was settled down in Gheyaspuri and two
persons were there who were in his service and their details are as
follows.
1.Sheikh Burhanuddin Gharib,who was buried in Doulatabad.
2.Sheikh Kamaluddin Yaqub who was buried in Pakpatam.
The above two pious personalities who had obtained Qirqa
(saintly dress) before other caliphs and they have become perfect
and they began busily in the following works.
1.Tahsil Kamal (acquire perfection)
2.Mystical exercise of the soul
244
In Ghiyaspuri, there was much difficulty of maintenance, in

the beginning, period. There have been always in the condition of
starvation for a period of four days. Sheikh Nizamuddin and other
Darwesh persons used to break their fast with the water. In those
days one woman who was a neighbour of the Sheikh, who use
to do the work of cotton yarn and obtained some money and with
that money she purchased some flour and she was used sent the
same to the Sheikh Nizamuddin as her offering.
Then Sheikh said Sheikh Kamaluddin to put the flour in a
cauldron and prepared food so that it may use to give to the
visiting persons of the shrine. So Sheikh Kamaluddin began the
food preparation and at that time suddenly one Darwesh person
wearing rags dress was come there and he was requested Sheikh
Nizamuddin to present whatever food available there and do not
hesitate in this matter.” Then Sheikh told him to take some rest
and just now the food will be ready and which will be presented
in his presence.” But the Darwesh person said “ Present as it is
and bring immediately.” Upon hearing this Sheikh was stood and
bringing the cauldron by holding in his two hands from the fire
place and presented before the Darwesh person. That Darwesh
person lifts the cauldron and put it down on the ground and he
said “ Sheikh Fariduddin Ganj Shaker was made the easiness of
the blessing of innermost to Sheikh Nizamuddin and he was
broken the indigence of his cauldron of Zaheri (manifest)” and
he said this and vanished away from there.
After this it was used to be happening that many thousand and
hundred thousand persons used to come into the presence of
Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya and were become his disciples and
will use to obtain saintly dresses (Qirqa) of the caliphates and
will use to get higher status and used to reach the greater
positions.
In the book Khairal Majalis it is mentioned that one day
Moulana Husamuddin Nusrat Khan, Jamaluddin Nusrat Khan and
Moulana Nusrat Khan were present in the front of Sheikh
245
Nizamuddin Auliya. Then Sheikh addressed them and said “One

who will observe the fasting during day time and worship in the
night time and this is easy work that can be done by the women
widows. But one should busy in the work of Haq (godliness) and
for this there is a requirement of a man so one who should seek
Allah in this matter and for this reason they will find a way
towards the court of Allah. They will be benefited by the wealth
of observation of the personality of Allah. Allah does not
require the worship and he is free from from the worship.”
Upon this the persons in the meeting were thinking that the
Sheikh will speak about any special worship. But Sheikh told “
If Allah wills he will mention further details in this matter on
any occasion.” So the persons were spent many years of waiting
for the details on this matter.
One day when all these persons were present at the Sheikh’s
meeting place. At that time Mohammed Kashif, who was the
custodian of the Dewan A’am (public hall of audience) of Sultan
Alauddin Khilji come over there and sat there with great respect
and honour. Then Sheikh asked him “ Mohammed Kashif where
you have been.?.” He said “ He was in the general Diwan (public
hall of audience) today Sultan Aladdin Khilji was sent him
Rupees 50,000 for the distribution to the mankind.”
Upon hearing this Sheikh addressed Moulana Husamuddin
Nusrat Khan and others “ Tell him which is better either this gift
amount of the king or to fulfil the convent which he was done
with all of them.? Upon hearing this, all people paid respect to
him and they said “ The fulfillment of the convent is better than
the paradise. Then what is the value of silver Rupees of
50,000?”.
The Sheikh was called the above three Sheikhs before him and
asked others to leave the meeting place and he told them “The
way to reach the destination is that one should engage in the
work of Haq (godliness) in loneliness.” The Taleb (student)
should not come outside of the room without work. Always he
246
should be in the condition of ablution except the time of the

sleep when there will be the control of the dreams there. He
should observe fasting always and if this not possible, then he
should eat less food in this matter. Except the Zikar (invocation of
Allah) and Haq (godliness) which are termed as an important and
necessary thing so one should never open with his tongue
unnecessarily. To talk less with the persons of the world.” There
is a tradition that these three pious persons due to the individuality
of Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya were obtained higher attributes and
were become perfect and famous persons who realize the
godliness (Haq).
As per reference from Moulana Shabuddin Imam that one day
Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya went to visit the mausoleum of Khaja
Bakhtiar Kaki along with Burhanuddin Gharib. After visiting the
mausoleum of Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki, Sheikh was reached to the
reservoir of Shamsi in Delhi and at that time Khaja Hasan Ala
Sanjari who was fifty years old was busy there in the drinking of
wine along with his friends and when he saw the Sheikh then he
recited two couplets of Persian poetry which is as follows.
When Sheikh was hearing these lines of poetry and he said “

There will be effects on the company. If Allah wills you will get
it.” Upon hearing this and without covering of his head Khaja
Hasan was fallen down at the feet of the Sheikh and he was
repenting from his habit of wine drinking along with his friends.
Afterwards Khaja Hasan wrote his famous and well known book
about the pious sayings of Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya with title
of Fawaid al-Fawad. About this book Amir Khusro said with
envious that “ If it was possible that all his books will be printed
247
with the name of Khaja Hasan and his book Fawaid al-Fawad
will become famous in his name.”
It is said that one day Sultan Alauddin Khilji was sent one
tray of the huge amount and Jawahar (jewelry) in the presence of
Sheikh. At that time one Qalander (dauntless) was sitting there
and upon watching the tray he told Sheikh “ Oh : Sheikh
whether this gift is for both of us.? The Sheikh by jokingly told
him that this gift belongs to him only.”
The Qalendar (dauntless) was becoming disappointed in this
matter and so he asked again in this matter. The Sheikh was called
the Qalendar (dauntless) near him and said him that he was mean
to say that to take the whole present along with him only. So
Qalander (dauntless) wanted to take it away and he lifted the tray,
but due to heavy weight he could not able to lift it. So the Sheikh
asked his servants to help him in this matter.
Khizer Khan, who was a disciple of Sheikh to whom
Qutubuddin Mubarak Shah killed him and he was becoming the
Sultan of Delhi and he was envious of the Sheikh. In those days
the daily expenses of the public kitchen of the Sheikh were 2,000
Tinka excluding the price of the grains.
The Sultan was asked Qazi Mohammed Ghaznavi who was
jealous of Sheikh that from where such huge amounts of
expenses of the public kitchen of Sheikh will come.? The Qazi
(judge) told him that “ Many Amirs (courtiers) of the Royal
Court used to help him with their gifts and presents in this
matter.” Upon hearing the above information the Sultan was
becoming angry and upset so he ordered that “Those who visit the
Sheikh’s residence or offer gold coins to him as gifts and presents
then against such persons the action will be taken by him.”
When Sheikh comes to know the above information he was
asked his special servant Khaja Iqbal to increase the expenses
4000 Tinka per day. The Sheikh instructed him at the time of
need, to recite and to put his hand in the window and take the
required amount from there. Many Amirs (courtiers) due to fear
248
of the Sultan avoided visiting the shrine of the Sheikh. But at that
time there were many stories of success of Sheikh were available
there. In those days one merchant to whom the robbers were
looted him on the way of travelling and he was coming there and
he was requested Sheikh to help him in this matter. He was
brought one letter of recommendation from the Sheikh
Saderuddin who was the son of Sheikh Bahaudin. The Sheikh
was instructing his servant to give him the gifts and presents
which were received between the morning time and the time of
Chast (mid morning supererogatory) prayer. It was known that
merchant was received 12,000 Tinka.
When the Sultan comes to know details about the public
kitchen of the Sheikh so he was ashamed in his heart. But due to
his ignorance and penitent, he was sent one message to the Sheikh
that Sheikh Abul Fatah Multani used to visit him and if he will
visit him then it will be an act of kindness to him.
The Sheikh said to the messenger “ He is a lonely person and
he never used to go and come to any place. The other thing in
this matter is that our ancestors who were pious personalities of
their times never used to visit the courts of kings and they did not
like to become courtiers of the Sultans. So for this reason he
should be excused in this matter.” When the message was
received by the Sultan he was becoming upset and angry in this
matter. The Sultan sent message to Sheikh that he should present
in his court two times in a week. When Sheikh received the
message, then he was sent Khaja Hasan Sanjari to Sheikh
Ziauddin Romi who was the spiritual teacher of the Sultan to
instruct the Sultan “ That's giving trouble to Derwish persons is
not allowed in any religion. So it is the safety of the Sultan in this
matter and the other thing is that our predecessors were following
their ways that they did not visit the kings, so he also did not go
against their practice and tradition in this matter.”
Khaja Hasan was given the message of his Sheikh to Sheikh
Romi and he also brought with him the news that Sheikh Romi
249
was suffering severely from stomach pain and for this reason he
could not able to pray by seating. By chance Sheikh Romi was
dying on the third day. So Sheikh went there for the condolence
purpose. The Sultan was also present there before the arrival of
Sheikh and there was very much rush of the people were there.
When the people come to know that Sheikh was coming there,
then a large number of persons rushed towards him to visit him
there and at last the king was left alone there.Due to this situation
the king was becoming angry and upset in this matter.So upon
reaching back in his court the Sultan issued instructions to Sheikh
that he should visit the royal court two times in the week
otherwise severe action will be taken against him.
As per order of the Sultan, Syed Qutubuddin Ghaznavi,
Moulana Burhanuddin Harvi, Sheikh Waheeduddin Qandori and
other great pious personalities were conveyed the message of the
Sultan to Sheikh and they told him to visit the general Dewan
(public hall of audience) once in a week for which there will be
no effect on the affairs of the Derwish persons. Upon hearing this
the Sheikh said “ See what will be happened from the side of
Allah.”
From the above conversation the great personalities of Delhi
thought that Sheikh was ready to visit the court of the king. So
they went to the king and was informed him that “Sheikh will
visit the Sultan on the night of the new moon.” In the night Khaja
Waheeduddin Qandori, Aizuddin who was the elder brother of
Amir Khusro visited Sheikh and was informed him that due to
the news of his visit to the general Dewan the king was happy in
this matter. Upon hearing this Sheikh told them “ He will not go
against the tradition of their ancestors and he will not visit the
court of the Sultan.”
Upon hearing the discussion of Sheikh the above two holy
personalities were become sad and upset with this matter. They
were thinking that the Sultan might take sever action against
him due to his shortsightedness. When Sheikh saw them upset
250
and angry then he consoled them and he said “ Be sure that the
Sultan will not be successful against him. He saw in the dream
that he was seated there in the prophet's mosque of Madina on the
Safa platform in the direction of Qibla (direction in which
Muslims turn in prayer). In that situation, one ox with horns come
there with the intention to attack him but when he comes near to
him than he was caught, his two horns with his hands and pull
him down on the ground and so for this reason he was dying
there.”
When the night of visiting of the Sultan comes there, then

Khaja Iqabl and other servants told Sheikh if there will be order
from his side, then palanquin and Kuhars (palanquin-bearers) will
be brought there. But Sheikh could not reply in this matter. After
a while the news reached there that Khusro Khan, who was
brought up by the Sultan in the palace and who was the faithful
person to him and he was killed the Sultan.
It is reported that there was a cloth merchant Shamsuddin in
Delhi who was a rich and wealthy person and he was always in
the front side to oppose Sheikh. One day he went to Afghanpur
along with his companions for the drinking wine in the garden
area and visited the meadows. When he took a bottle of wine to
drink and he finds Sheikh was standing there in front of him and
by the sign he instructed him not to drink the wine. There was a
great effect on him so he left the wine bottle and after ablution, he
went to the shrine of Sheikh immediately. When the Sheikh
looked at Shamsuddin then he said “ When there will be help
from felicity, then the man will be away from the sins.” Upon
hearing this Shamsuddin was surprised in this matter and he was
falling down at the feet of the Sheikh and with truthfulness and
sincerity he was become the disciple of Sheikh. On the second
day he was distributed all his wealth and belongings to the
Darwesh persons of the Jamat Khana (mosque). He engaged
himself in the worship of Allah.
251
Sheikh Naseer Awadhi says “ When he was used to learn the

knowledge of Zaheri (manifest) with Qazi Kashani and at a time
once he was becoming seriously ill so there was no hope of his
recovery in this matter. By chance Sheikh visited him during the
period of his ill health and at that time he was in a condition of the
unconscious. When Sheikh put his hand on his mouth, then he
was becoming conscious and gained perfect health and he was
falling down at the feet of the Sheikh. From that day his belief
and sincerity in Sheikh was increased very much.”
The above Sheikh also reported one tradition that one disciple
invited Sheikh and also called Qawwals (choristers). He was
arranging the food items as per his status and position. When the
Sama (ecstasy) was started in the meeting place then many
thousand persons reached there. The host prepared food for 60
persons only. As there were too many persons were present and
there were little food items were available there so for this reason
the host was upset with this matter. The Sheikh comes to know
the worry of the host by his light of the innermost. The Sheikh
instructed his servant Mubasshir to arrange the washing of the
hands of the guests and arrange them to be seated them in the
group of ten persons there. To divide the bread into four pieces
and put on the eating cloth with curry in front of them and ask
them to start eating by saying Bismilla Ar-Rahman Nirrahim.
The servant followed Sheikh’s instructions. All persons eat as
per their requirement and nobody left without food. Still a large
quantity of food was left there in the kitchen by the grace of
Allah.
A tradition was reported by Moulana Sheikh Naseeruddin that
in Sarsada village one Moulana (pious person) used to reside
there. Once due to the fire accident, his house was burned down
and in this accident all of his property and belongings and also his
allotment order of his property was destroyed. So he comes to
Delhi and after his hard try he was successful to get a copy of an
order from the office and he was returning back to his village by
252
putting it into his armpit in the happy mood and conditions. On

the way he met one of his friends and due to talking with him his
friend the order was fallen from his armpit and it was lost on the
way but he could not know in this matter.
When he reached back to his house and he was realized that
the allotment order of the property was lost on the way. So he was
upset and become sad in this matter and visited Sheikh and
explained him all details of the event and he requested him to
pray in this matter. The Sheikh told him to bring Halwa (sweet) so
that he will pray in this matter. Moulana went straight to the sweet
shop and from there he was demanded Halwa (sweet) for some
Dirhams. The sweet maker after weighing Halwa (sweet) and he
takes out paper from there and was wanting to cut the paper to
pack Halwa (sweet) into it. Then Moulana saw the paper was his
order of allotment which was lost by him on the way so in a loud
voice he said the sweet maker do not cut the paper and this is
allotment order of his properties. The sweet maker handed over
the paper to Moulana and give him Halwa (sweet) in another
paper.
Moulana went into the service of Sheikh along with the
allotment order and Halwa. So Sheikh smiled and he said, “To
keep Farman (order of allotment) paper with him and take away
Halwa (sweet) for his family members.”
Syed Waheeduddin Kirmani Mubark who was a disciple of
Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya who wrote his book Sair Auliya in
which he was mentioned “When Khusru Khan was becoming
king of Delhi upon killing of the Sultan Qutubuddin Mubarak
Shah then he was sent 300,000 Tinka to the following Mashaiq
(learned) persons of Delhi.
1.Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya
2.Syed Alauddin Chanuri
3.Sheikh Waheeduddin Khalifa
4.Sheikh Usman Sayyah caliph of Sheikh Rukunuddin Abu Fatah
Multani
253
When these presents reached by these Mashaiq (learned)

persons they kept these amounts with them as Amanat (entrusted
thing). Khusru Khan was sent 500,000 Tinka to Sheikh
Nizamuddin Auliya and who at the same time distributed this
money among the poor and needy persons.
After four months Ghiyasuddin was becoming Sultan of Delhi
by killing Khusru Khan, and he was demanding the amounts
which were presented by Sultan Khusru Khan to all Mashaiq
(learned) persons of Delhi. All most all Mashaiq (learned) persons
deposited the amounts in the royal treasury, but Sheikh
Nizamuddin Auliya could not reply to the royal order in this
matter.
On the other side the opponents persons who had jealousy and
enmity with Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya stated complaint against
him in this matter. When there was not available any solid thing
to take action against Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya then one
complaint was lodged against Sheikh that he used to listen
Qawwali (mystic chorus) which is illegal as per rules of the
religion of Hanafi. So for this reason the Sultan was called royal
Mashaiq (learned) persons to prepare one Mahzer (a statement of
a case) against the Sama (ecstasy). The Sultan was called down
Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya and royal Mashaiq (learned) persons
in the fort of Tuqlaqabad so that he can conduct Manazara
(polemic) session there on the subject of the Same (ecstasy).
Moulana Fakheruddin Zaradi who was a sincere disciple of
Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya told the Sultan to select two top most
Mashaiq (learned) persons from the royal group of Mashaiq
(learned) persons to lead the discussions with them in this matter.
Then Sultan was asked Qazi Rukunuddin Abul Hai who was a
local ruler of the city and who has enmity with Sheikh
Nizamuddin Auliya to continue the discussion.
Qazi Rukunuddin Abul Hai (judge) was asked Sheikh what
dalil (proof) he is having in the favour of the Sama (ecstasy).?
254
Then Sheikh was presented the proof (dalil) from the sayings of
the prophet which is as follows.?
In the book Nizami Mambar which was written by Khaja
Hasan Nizami in which it is mentioned “ Khaja Mahboob Ilahi
was read the saying of the prophet of Allah which was reported
by Bukhari that before the prophet of Allah the girls of the Ansar
tribe of Madina were singing while thumping on the Daf (a small
tambourine) and the prophet was hearing their songs. At that time
Hazrat Umar Farooq (R.A.) came over there and he asked the
girls to stop the singing. Upon this the prophet of Allah said
Umar Farooq (R.A.) “ Do not stop those girls from singing as
today is Eid (festival) day and every nation has its own Eid
(festival) day.”
The Qazi (judge) asked him “ He is Hanifi so quote the
saying of Imam Abu Hanifa in this matter so that he can accept
it.” Then Sheikh told him “ (Allah be praised) he is quoting the
saying of the holy prophet of Allah and he is demanding from the
saying of Imam Abu Hanifa. So it seems that due to the pride of
the government, which was spoiled his mind and he is
disrespecting the prophet of Allah and if Allah wills he will be
punished very soon and he will be suspended immediately from
the post of Qazi (judge).”
The Sultan was very much impressed with the dignity of the
knowledge of the Sheikh. During this discussion Moulana
Alimuddin grandson of Sheikh Bahuddin Zikeria Multani came
over there. The Sultan and all other persons in the court stood to
welcome Sheikh Alimuddin. When Moulana Alimuddin looked
at Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya then he first went towards him and
he met with Sheikh with great respect and high honour .Then
Moulana Alimuddin asked the Sultan, why Sheikh was present
there.? The Sultan told him all details of the discussion in this
matter. Moulana Alimuddin was a great learned person of the
Islamic world. He said “ He was visited Makkah, Madina, Egypt
and Damascus and there all great Mashaiq (learned) persons and
255
pious personalities are there and they are well known as great
scholars and pious persons and they used to hear the Sama
(ecstasy) there and nobody did not object in this matter. In fact, it
is lawful for all but for Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya and his
disciples are of the people of the rapture (hall) and their Zaheri
(manifest) and innermost is decorated with the perfection of
manners as well as they are with the qualities of ascetic and
piety.”
When the Sultan heard the discussion of Moulana Aleemuddin
then he bid goodbye Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya with great
respect and high honour. The Sultan was ashamed in his heart
and at that time the Sultan gave orders of the suspension of Qazi
Rukunuddin from the post of Qazi (judge).
When Sheikh was become 95 years old then he was becoming
seriously ill. In his high temperature of a fever, he was called his
servant Khaja Iqbal and he was given instruction him that all
things and belonging and money in the shrine building should be
given to poor and needy persons. The servant told him, “There are
available many maund (one manud = 37.324 kilograms) of grains
in the store rooms of the shrine building which is used in the
public kitchen.” Upon hearing this Sheikh was becoming angry
and upset with this matter and: he told “ To break the doors of the
stores of the grains and distribute among the poor and needy
persons.” One turban, one parahan (dress), one prayer mat and
beads to be given to Sheikh Burhanuddin Gharib and asked him to
proceed towards Deccan. One turban, one shirt and one prayer
mat were given to Sheikh Yaqub and he was asked to proceed
towards Gujrat. In this way one turban, one shirt (parahan) and
one prayer mat was given to Moulana Jamaluddin Khuwarzami
and Moulana Shamsuddin Yahiah.
Sheikh Naseeruddin Awadhi was not present there at that time
so after some days, Sheikh was calling him there and after the
Zuhar (after noon) prayer and he was given him the following
relics which were coming from Sheikh Farid Uddin Ganj Shaker.
256
1.Qirqa (saintly dress)

2.Staff
3.Prayer mat
4.Beads
5.Wooden cup
He was given him instruction to live in Delhi and face Qaza
(fate) and Jafa (oppression) of the people. Then he prayed Asar
(late afternoon) prayer still the sun was not set at that time, but
this shining sun of the knowledge and Irfan (intimate knowledge
of Allah) was set in Delhi. This great Sheikh of his time was
buried in Ghiaspur which was in the suburbs of Delhi before, but
which is now included in the city area of Delhi. His mausoleum
is in Delhi, which is famous even today for the fulfillment of
desires and wishes of the persons who visit his mausoleum there.

The First Meeting
The Wednesday on 15th Rajab 255 Hegira year
This meeting was held on Wednesday on the 15th Rajab

255 Hegira Islamic calendar and on this day the well wishers of
the Muslim nation and the Sultan of Arifian (pious persons)
Nizamuddin Badayuni alias Nizamuddin Auliya was sanctified to
touch the feet of Syedul Abidin Khaja Fariduddin Ganj Shaker.
On this occasion Baba Saheb was wearing a turkey cap on his
head and who took it down from his head and with his hand, he
was putting the same on the head of Khaja Nizamuddin and he
was also awarded the following things to him.
1. Special Qirqa (saintly dress).
2. Wooden sandals.
Baba Saheb told him “ He wanted to give the Velayat
(saintliness) of India to some other person, but he was on the
way. There was a sound in his heart that patience should be
followed in this matter as Nizamuddin will be reaching there
soon and this Velayat (saintliness) is belongs to him so it should
be given to him.”
Upon hearing this conversation I stood in the meeting place to
kiss the feet of the Sheikh and want to say something about my
desire but due to the fear of Sheikh in this matter I could not say
anything. The Sheikh was able to know my thought and so he
said immediately that surely there was his fondness in his heart
and he continued further that “ There will be fear for the new
person at the time of entry.” The conversation reached at this
point and there was come an idea into my mind that whatever I
hear from Sheikh it is better that it should be written for the
record purpose. Still the idea was in my mind, but Sheikh told
me “That disciple is the lucky person, one who listens carefully
259
and with attention his spiritual master’s sayings and record the
sayings in the writing.” As per reference from the book Abar
Auliya that the disciple who hear his spiritual master’s sayings
and for this he will get 1000 years of reward (Thawab) for its
sincerity in this matter and for each and every word he will get a
lofty station upon his death in the other world. At that time he
was reciting the following Persian couplet which is as follows.”
And he said further that “ The man should keep such

condition always on him because in each and every minute there
will be the situation for him in which he will hear the following.
“ That man is alive in whose heart there will be fondly and the
love will be always there.” In the beginning the discussion was
progressing on the subject of Darweshi (mysticism) and in this
connection he told “ The name of Darweshi is hiding something
and the work of people who wear the Qirqa (saintly dress) is to
hide defects of the Muslim and other persons and so he should
not disclose it to other persons. Whatever he will get the wealth of
the world than he should distribute on the path of Allah and to
spend for the legal purpose and he should not look at a particle of
it.” He told again that “ Persons of Tariqa (spiritual path) and
great learned persons wrote in their books that there are three
kinds of Zakat (Religious tax as basic in function of Islam) and
their details are as follows.
1.Zakat Sharia (The tax for Islamic law)
2. Zakat Tariqat (The tax for the spiritual path)
3. Zakat Haqiqat (The tax for reality)
In Zikat Sharia (The Tax for Islamic law) if you have 40
Dirhams with you then you should spend five Dirhams in the way
of Allah and in Zakat Tariqat (The tax for spiritual path) if you
have 40 Dirhams with you then you should keep five Dirhams
with you and the rest of the amount should be spent on the way of
Allah. In Zakat Haqiqat (The tax for the reality) if you possess 40
260
Dirhams with you then you should not even keep with you five
Dirhams and spend all amount in the way of Allah. So Darweshi
(mysticism) is called and known as selling oneself.”
In this connection he was told one event that “Once he was
living with Khaja Shehabuddin Saherwardi for some period of
time and one day in his shrine he was receiving 1,000 Dirhams
towards the war booty but he was spent the entire amount on the
path of Allah and by the evening time nothing was left with him
” and he said “ If he will keep some portion of the amount with
him then he will not be called as a Derwesh person but he will be
called a rich Dariwesh person.”
Then he said “ The meaning of Darweshi (mysticism) is
contentment. So whatever he will be received by him, then he
should not say that it should be received as such. Because he was
found in the writings of book Saluk Auliya about the events of
pious persons that one day Hazrat Malik Bin Dinar went to see
one Darwesh person and there was discussion between them
about Saluk (mystic initiation). The Darwesh was put two barley
breads before him and those breads were made without salt, so for
this reason Hazrat Malik Bin Dinar told him that the breads were
better if there was salt in them. That Darewsh had a daughter and
when she was heard the remark of Malik Bin Dinar then she went
outside with one utensil and mortgaged it and got some money
and from that money she was purchased some salt from the
grocery and she put salt before them. After eating the breads
Malik Bin Dinar told “ It is called Qinat (contentment)”. Then
the daughter of the Darwesh while saying Salam to him and she
told him, “ Oh: Khaja if he would posses Qinat (contentment)
with him then she did not have mortgaged her utensil. Oh :
Malik Bin Dinar it is not called Qinat (contentment) which he
think it. So hear the story of their condition that for the period of
seven years they could not allow salt to their Nafs (souls) and
Darweshi (mysticism) is far away from him.” Upon this she
recited the following couplets of the Persian poetry.
261
Still there is no news that how many difficulties were used to be

passing at the heads of the Darwesh persons.
Then there was discussion about Qirqa (saintly dress) which
was given to Allah’s last prophet during the night of Meraj
(accession) and for this reason, the prophet of Allah was called
all his senior companions in this matter to discuss on this matter
and he was told “ Allah commanded him to hand over the Qirqa
(saintly dress) to one among all of you so he will ask one
question to everybody and who will answer the question correctly
then he will be awarded the Qirqa (saintly dress).”
First the prophet was asked Abu Baker (R.A.) if he will give
this Qirqra then what thing he will adopt? ” And who was
replied him “ Oh : prophet of Allah, he will follow truth and
honesty and obedience of Allah. Then he was asked Hazrat Umar
bin Qattab (R.A.) “ If he will give him Qirqa what thing he will
follow?” And he was replied him “ Oh : prophet of Allah he will
do justice and fair play and seek redress and help the oppressed
(mazlum) persons.” Then on the turn of Usman Bin Affan (R.A.)
come and he was replied “ Oh prophet of Allah he will perform
his duties as per advises from the other persons and follow
shyness (haya) and go behind the generosity (saqawat) in this
matter.” In the last the prophet was asked Ali Ibn Abi Taleb
(R.A.) “ What he will do if he will be awarded Qirqa.?” So he
told him “He will follow the hiding policy so he will keep the
defects of the people.” Upon hearing the reply the prophet of
Allah told him “ Ali take this Qirqa and there was a command
from Allah for him “The Qirqa should be given to his friend who
will reply correctly in this matter.” Upon explaining up to here
Sheikh began weeping and he was becoming unconscious and
upon regaining his conscious he said “ So it is confirmed that
262
Darwreshi (mysticism) is hiding work so the Darwesh should to

follow the following four things.”
1.To keep his eyes blind so that he should not see the difficulties
of other persons.
2.To make his ears deaf so that he should not listens un-necessary
and useless things.
3.To make his tongue dumb, so that he should not say any illegal
matters.
4. To break his legs and hands so that he should not go to the
illegal places.
So if the above things are found in any Darwesh person then
he should be called Darwesh person otherwise he should be called
false person and that person is not related to anything off the
Darweshi (mysticism). In this connection he said further that
Hazrat Shehabuddin Saherwardi was kept bandage of his eyes for
a period of forty years and when he was asked in this matter then
he told “ He did not want to see the defects of other persons and
by chance if he will see then he will used to hide the same and do
not reveal it to other persons.” Upon this explanation Sheikh was
went into Maraqaba (meditation) and for a long time he was in
such condition and then he lift his head and told me “ Baba
Nizamuddin if Darwesh become as above than he will be called
Darwesh and in that condition whatever he will say it will be
happened or whatever he desired which will be fulfilled.” At that
time Sheikh began weeping and at the same time one visitor
whose name was Mohammed Shah come over there and kissed
the ground so he asked him to sit there. Mohammed Shah was
very worried and upset as his brother was in the condition of
agony of death. The Sheikh come to know the condition and told
him “Why he is worried in this matter.?” and Mohammed told
him “He was worried due to bad health condition of his brother,
which your honour know very well.?” Then Sheikh told him’ “
Now you can go as your brother is well now.” Mohammed Shah
went back to his house and was found his brother was in good
263
health condition and it was seemed that he was not become ill and
he was eating food in the house due to the grace of Allah.”
At this meeting he was told “ It is such Darewshi (mysticism)
which was available with the last prophet of Allah that whatever
he will receive from morning to afternoon and from afternoon to
evening then he will use to spend all things on the way of Allah.
Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (R.A.) used to say in his sermons “ He will
never see that prophet of Allah used to keep anything with him by
the evening time.”
After this Moulana Syed Bederudden Ishaque was asked him
what is Israf (wastage)? And what are its limitations.? And in this
matter Sheikh was replied “ Which ever is spent without
thinking and against the will (Reza) of Allah will be termed as
Israf (wastage) and which ever is spent as per the will (Reza) of
Allah will not be termed as Israf (wastage).” After Sheikh’s
above remarks there was prayer call (Azan) so Sheikh was
praying and he went into the meditation (Maraqaba).
The Second Meeting
The Thursday of 16th Shaban 655 Hegira
And today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. In

today’s meeting, the following pious personalities were present at
the meeting place.
1.Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi. 2. Sheikh Jamaluddin
Hansavi. 3. Moulana Sharafuddin Nibia. 4. Qazi Hameeduddin
Nagori. The Sheikh said “ The rich or poor, Darwesh and other
needy persons should not be returned from here deprived. So to
give them whatever there is available.” He said “ Who ever come
to visit me whether rich or poor person whether who bring
anything to me or not but it is my obligation to give him
264
something.” And after this Sheikh began weeping.Then he was

continued his saying “ The companions who used to visit the
prophet to learn knowledge and instructions of Islamic law and
upon learning these knowledges they used to pass it to other
persons so that they should know the same.” The Sheikh
continued his discussion further and he said that in the shrine of
Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki there was system that if no food supply
available in the public kitchen, then he used to ask the servant of
the public kitchen Sheikh Badruddin Ghaznavi to keep the water
ready there and to serve water to the visitors of the shrine so that
nobody should not go without beneficence and favour from there.
In this connection the Sheikh continued his discussion further
and he said that “ During his journey to Baghdad, he was met
Sheikh Ajal Sanjari who was a great pious personality of his time
and who had with a tremendous look and to whom he was
visited in his shrine building and conveyed his Salam to him so
he caught his hand with great love and respect and he told him “
Oh : great man come here and sit”. So I sat there and he was
pleased to see me upon seated there immediately. I was there in
his company for many days and I could never see any day any
person who left from there without anything. If there will be
nothing available there, then he used to give the visitors the dry
dates and used to pray to Allah for enhancing of the substance of
the visitors. The city people used to say about him that to whom
Sheikh has given him dry dates and that person never become
needy against other persons during their entire lives. In this
connection, he said that after leaving from there he was met one
Darwesh in the cave which was located outside of the Baghdad
city. I convey my Salam to him and he asked me to sit there so I
sat there. That Darwesh person was becoming so weak and thin
that there was no flesh on his body except bones and skin were
seen clearly. So I thought in my mind that in the jungle from
where he will get the food supplies.?” On this thinking, the
Darwish told me “ Oh: Farid since forty years he has lived in this
265
cave and eating grass and leaves of the trees.” So when I watched
his condition then put my head on his feet and left him after living
in his company for a period some days.”
From Baghdad I was reached in Bukhara and met Sheikh
Sharafuddin Bakharzi there who was a great and famous
personality of time who had a tremendous look and when I was
reached there in front of him and was kissed his feet with greater
respect than he was asking me to sit there. Many times he saw
me and continued saying about me that “ He will become a great
Mashaiq (learned person) of his time and a world of people will
become his disciples and followers.” At that time, one black
blanket was there on his shoulder and he was thrown the same to
me and was instructed me to wear the blanket. I was there in his
company for many days and daily he was used to seeing that
there were 1,000 or more persons were present on his eating cloth
by the grace of Allah. Even upon the end of the eating schedule if
any person who will come there later than he will get something
and nobody will not leave without the food items with them. “
At last, I left Sheikh and stayed in one mosque in the night. In
the morning, I heard that there is a monastery which is situated
there in which one pious personality used to live there so I went
to see that great personality and could not find such grace on any
other person. He was looking at the sky and was thinking
something and was standing silently. He was becoming conscious
after a period of four days so I have conveyed my Salam to him.
So he told me that there was trouble from his side for me and he
asked me to sit there so I sat there. He told “ He is daughter’s
son of Shamsul Arifin and for a period of thirty years he was
living in that place, but Farid: during this long period except the
fear and surprise he could not get anything in this matter. Do you
know the reason of it.” So I let down my neck and asked him
“To inform in this matter.” He continued his discussion further
and he said: “This path is straight and the right path and so
those who will put their feet on this path to the truth, then they
266
will cover the path and those who walk against the will of the
friend will be killed by the fire on the way.” After this, he
explained his condition which is as follows. “ From the day when
he got an entry in the door of the master then he was found there
were 70,000 veils were there and there was a command to come
inside and when the first veil was removed he saw there were
closest friends were there and they were standing with their
dignity and they were looking upper side and they were saying
by their tongues that they want to see the sight of Allah. So in
this way, all veils were passed by him. In every place, new signs
and new branches were seen by him. But when he reached near
the special veil and there was a divine call in which it was said “
Oh: the person in this place such person can enter who is ignorant
of the world and its things as well as from his own personality.”
So I replied that “ I have left all things in this matter. ” Then I got
a reply that when you left everything, then you now belong to Us.
When I opened my eyes then I was found myself back in this
place where you are visiting me here. He said, “ Oh: Farid if he
will leave all things in this way, then he will find Allah.” The
Sheikh continued his discussion further, but the time of evening
prayer was started there so he was praying with the great pious
personality of time and after the prayer he was watching that
there was come two cups of soup and four big pieces of bread
were there from the invisible source and he asked me to come
inside of his small room so I was entered into it and sat there.
There was a great taste in that soup and bread and such taste and
flavour I could not find again my entire my life time. I spent that
night there, but in the morning, I could not find that pious person
there so I left that place and reached back to Multan and where I
met my brother Sheikh Bahuddin Zakaria and shook his hand
there. He asked me “Up to where he was reached and what did he
was gained so far?.” He told him, “ If he would say to fly the
chair on which he is sitting then it will fly immediately and the
chair was begun flying upon his saying this sentence.”Sheikh
267
Zakaria strikes the chair with his hand and he gets down from
the chair and told him “ Moulana Farid he became so great.” I
went from there to Delhi and went into the presence and in the
service of Sheikh Qutubuddin Bakhatiyar Kaki. I found such a
thing with him, which I could not get at another place. So I
attached myself to this great personality of his time and was
becoming his disciple and was greatly benefitted in his company.
For a period of three days time my spiritual master was kind
enough to me for his favour of many blessings and after this
Sheikh told me “ Moulana Farid he was completing his work”
and he comes near to me and after making a slogan he became
unconscious and one day he was in such condition and when he
becomes conscious and then he told me. “ The pious persons will
pass such and such stages and then they will gain higher status
and this felicity will be available to all persons and there is favour
of Allah to all persons. But there should be a determination which
is required for the person to reach the final destination.” After
this, he said, “ Oh: my brother in this way there should be a step
to truth, otherwise there will be damaged in this way and such
person will not reach the final destination.” At that time, he
recited the following couplets of Persian poetry.
He stood again at the time of prayer was near and he went

into the world of amazement. Myself and all persons were
standing there.
Third Meeting
The 20th Shaban on Monday, 655 Hegira year
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Today

in the meeting place the following pious personalities were
present.1. Moulana Nasihuddin the son of Qazi Hameed Nagori.
268
2. Moulana Shamsuddin Burhan. There was discussion about the

world. The Sheikh said “ The Allah’s last prophet was told ‘” The
love of the world is the root cause of the all problems”.
He told the learned persons were told “ Those who left the
world will overcome it and those who followed it were killed.”
Sheikh Abdullah Tastri said “ There is no greater veil

between man and Allah except the veil of world.” The man who
will busy in the world as per his level so to such extent he will be
away from Allah. So if he wants to know the position and
condition of his backside, then he should put the veil on his front
side. So it is not good to be busy always in the world and in its
matters. Then he said that he was hearing from Khaja Bakhtiar
Kaki that who referred this saying from his spiritual master
“Unless the man will not clear the mirror of the heart from the
love of the world with his hard endeavour of love and if also he
will not establish the Zikar (invocation of Allah) and if he will
not remove unrelated person (Ghair) then he will not find Allah in
this matter.”
Then he said “ As per reference from the book Tuhfatul
Arfian in which Shibli has mentioned that its capability depends
on the heart. So when the heart will come on the right track, then
the man will come to the right path. He said further on this matter
that there are life and death for the heart and there are different
shapes for it. ”
As per above reference from the holy book of Quran that the
heart will be dying due to very much busy work in the world and
it will become to live with the invocation of Allah as per
following reference from the Quran.
He told “When the man will busy in the luxuries of world and
its desires and wishes, then carelessness and defects will affect
269
him badly and there will be greed and desires will be there in his
heart. There will be thoughts and doubts in his heart about
unrelated things than Allah and for this reason his heart will
become black so it is like the death for him. As the land in which
there is more rubbish and so which will not accept the seeds and
will be called the dead land. That heart in which the invocation
of Allah is not there, then it will become a dwelling place of the
Jinns and Devils and they will get control over it. Due to such
revolution the heart will be called the dead and against this, the
heart in which there will be no connection to the world available
then, for this reason, the soul will be finished in this matter and
the person who will engage in the invocation and recitals of
Allah then the heart will become alive.” After this Sheikh was
told that in the book Umda by Hazrat Junaid of Baghdad wrote:
“On this way the capability of the heart is a must and necessary
thing in this matter and this capability will be created in it when
there will no such things will be found which is mentioned as
follows.”
1.Bad things of the world
2.Show and exhibit
3.Pride and arrogance
4.Greediness and voracity
5. Miserliness
For the cleanliness of the heart it a is must and necessary thing
that it should avoid the bad habits and it’s the work of Darwish
person. The skill of Darwesh person is known from the above
things only. Upon this the Sheikh of Islam began weeping and
continued his discussion further that “ The Darwish person who
will busy in the worldly matters and who will require and want
the higher position and status, then understand in this matter that
such person is not the real Darwesh one but he is such person
who has rejected the Tariqa (spiritual path). Because the name of
Faqar (indigence) is to leave the world. In this connection he
continued his discussion further that one day he was sitting with
270
Hazrat Ajal Sanjari and there was a discussion there about

Darwish persons. Hazrat Ajal was told in his book Umda that
Hazrat Junaid of Baghdad was mentioned that in the religion of
Darwesh persons it is illegal to establish connection with the
world or to visit and to see the kings and Sultans. The Sheikh told
“ As per reference from the book Hadaiq in which it is
mentioned that the King of Iraq was suffering due to some
serious illness for a period of three years, so he called Hazrat
Khaja Tastari for his help in this matter and so he visited the king
and due to his prayer he was recovered from the illness. But due
to his presence of one hour in the royal court of the king and he
was kept away himself from the presence of the mankind
(Qalqat) for a period of seven years for this reason.”
He said further on this matter that the Mashaiq (learned

person) of Tariqa (spiritual path) said: “ The company of rich
persons is like poison for the Darwesh persons.” And this
instruction is available in the above Arabic phrase.
In brief, the result of this discussion is that as per your distance
from the company of the rich persons then you will have nearness
to Allah. Because the love of the world is available in the hearts
of the rich persons so, for this reason, there will be damage to
Darwesh persons. As per Tariqa (spiritual path) and Taqarab
(nearness), it is required that in the heart of the Darwesh there
should be no effect on the friendship of the world and its people.
To the Darwesh person, all people of Allah are equal before
him.
Upon saying the above things, Sheikh of the time told me
“On the way the presence of the heart (Huzur Qalab) is a must
and necessary thing and it will not available unless there should
be no prohibition from illegal morsel and leaving the people of
the world.” The Mashaiq (learned persons) were mentioned “
Unless there will be no prohibition of illegal morsel and meeting
271
of the kings and the worldly people, then they should not wear
the dress of Galim (dress of the prophets) because it was holy
dress of the prophets and all Abdal (an order of saints) and
Autad (category of saints comprising only four at any time in the
world) and Zuhad (ascetic) persons wore this holy dress. The
following prophets know very well the value of Galim (dress of
the prophets) and their details are as follows.
1.Prophet Adam (A.S.)
2.Prophet Abraham (A.S.)
3.Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him)
The Sheikh continued his discussion further that Sheikh
Bakhtiar Kaki said that he was in the company of Khaja Maudud
Chisti for a period of ten years and he has not seen that he did not
visit any king or rich person and his famous saying is as follows.
“ If any Darwish who will visit any king or rich person then
his dress of Galim (dress of the prophets) and his other things of
Darweshi (mysticism) should be taken back from him and he
should be asked not to speak about the name of the Darweshi
(mysticism) and if he did not agree on this matter then his dress of
Galim (dress of the prophets) should damage by the fire because
the Fakir (Darwish) who will like the world and its people, then
he is not the real Darwesh but actually he is claimant and he is a
liar.”
He was told “ He was seen some people from Tariqa (spiritual
path) that when they come across some need or succeed in a
difficult affair and in that situation they used to put down the
Galim (dress of the prophets) and they used to wear the chains in
their necks and start supplication to Allah and pray in this
matter. ” The Sheikh told me “ One who will wear the dress of
holy persons, then he should not eat tasty and sweet food and he
should not mingle with the people of the world and if he will not
like this then he is involved in the cheating by the wearing the
dress of the holy people.”
272
After this, he said that “ He was reading in the book Asarul

Arifian in which it was written that one disciple of Khaja Zan-
Noon Masri who was used to visit frequently the royal court of
the king. For this reason, Khaja Saheb called him back and took
his dress of Fakir (Darvish) and put it into the fire and he was
very much angry and upset with him in this matter and he told
him “ He was used to showing the dress of the prophets and holy
persons to the wicked people and in this matter he still has
determined to go to Allah with this dress.”
He told again “ Hazrat Imam Malik used to wear three
dresses. At the time of prayer, he used to take out upper and lower
dress from his body and with the middle dress of the middle part
of the body he used to pray. Somebody asked him the reason in
this matter so he said “ Due to the watching of the mankind on
the upper portion of the dress there was possible of a chance to
show and custom was happening in this matter. And from the
inside dress there is an odour of greediness and voracity is
available and which causes adulterated. The middle dress on the
body is free from these two things so for this reason with this
dress he used to pray. ”
Upon this Sheikh began weeping and he said “ It was the
practice of the great Sufi masters and for these conditions they
have reached their final destination. The prayer time came so
Sheikh was started prayer, preparation so all persons were
standing for this reason.
The 27 Shaban on Monday, 655 Hegira year
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Today

in this meeting the following pious personalities were present.1.
Sheikh Jamaluddin Mutawakil 2. Shams Dabir. 3 Shaikh
Najamuddin and many others were present at the meeting place.
273
The discussion was started on the topic of the night of Miraj

(accession) of the prophet. The Sheikh told the night of the 27th
of the month of the Rajab is a very important night. On this night
the last prophet of Allah was reached to accession by the grace of
Allah. Those who will not sleep in this night then they will get
accession and they will be eligible and will be felicitated of
accession (Miraj) and its reward (Thawab) will be recorded in
their book of the deeds. After this he said “ Once he travelled to
Baghdad and upon reaching there he began asking with the people
about the addresses and locations of holy personalities of the city.
Upon finding one addressee of the holy person who resides at the
bank of the Tigris river and he went there to visit him in this
matter. When he reached there he was busy in his prayer so he
was standing there. Upon finishing his prayer, he paid respect of
Salam to him so he asked me to sit there.” His face was with great
grace and greatness and with a tremendous look so I was not seen
such shining and graceful face like the moon by 14th night. He
asked me from I was coming there. I was told from Ajodhan. He
told me “ One who will visit a pious person with the intention of
devoting then anyhow some time he will become pious person.”
Upon hearing this sentence I put down by my head there. He told
“ Moulana Farid : he has stayed in this cave since fifty years. He
used to eat thorn and litter here and he belongs to the sons of
Junaid of Baghdad. Yesterday the date was 27th Rajab. If he
wants to hear the details of yesterday night then he will explain
him the details on this matter.” So most respectable I told him
“Yes”. He told “ Since 30 years he does not know when the nights
will fall and during this period his body did not touch the ground.
But yesterday night he was sleeping on the prayer mat. In the
dream he was seeing 70,000 trusted angles of Allah from the first
sky come down on the earth and they took his soul to the sky.
When he reached on the first sky, he was seeing all angels were
standing there and by looking at the sky, they are reciting the
following Tasbih (glorification of Allah).” (Subhana Zil Mulak
274
Wa Malakut) . Since their birth these angels

were reciting the above Tasbih (glorification of Allah). Afterward
his soul was forwarded beyond this level to second sky, third sky,
fourth sky, and fifth sky. In all these places where his soul was
taken and he was seen very strange things of Allah and for which
he could not able to explain in this matter. When Arsh (throne)
come before his soul, he was ordered to stop there. All holy
personality and prophets were present there. My grandfather
Junaid of Baghdad was present there by lowering his head and he
was very silent there.” There was a divine call in which it was
heard “ Oh: that person” , so he was replied “ Labaik (being at
your service) my Lord.” Allah told “ Well, you have performed
well the duties of the worship. Now you have awarded your lofty
place in the other world due to your reward of your worship.” So
he was happy in this matter and start prostration there. He was
asked to raise his head and he was asked whether he can move
further in this matter.? No, his ascension was up to here. If he will
make progress, then his status here will be increased and those
who are more perfect than him have reached near the greatness of
the veil.”
Upon hearing this he was proceeding towards Juniad of
Baghdad and put down his head on his feet and he was seen him
there in the condition of prostration. He asked his great
grandfather why he was there by lowering his head what is matter
in it? He told “ When he was called here he was worried about
this matter that whether there will any action against him.? He
was doubting in this matter that there was a mistake done by him.
So for this reason he will be blame in this matter that his son was
made such a mistake. After that my eyes were opened .” “So Farid
: those who will do the work of Allah, then He will do his work.”
So for this reason the man should perform his duties with the
courage.” He said “ The person who did not sleep during the
nights will be getting this felicity.”
275
I was in his service of one pious person for some period of

time and who, after Eisha prayer used to keep himself in inverted
condition and used to tie his legs and keep himself in the reverse
position.
After Sheikh of Islam said there is order to pray 100 Nafil
(supererogatory) prayers on this night after Eisha (night) prayer
and in every Rakat (one set of standing genuflexion and
prostration in prayers) should recite Sura (verse) Iqlas five times
after Sura (verse) Alhamad and after the end of the prayer to
recite 100 Darud (salutation on the prophet) so in this worship
during this night any desire or wish will be fulfilled by grace of
Allah.
Again he said “ He was heard this by Hazrat Moinuddin
Sanjari that this is a night of the mercy and those who will sleep
in this night will get be away from Nemat (grace) from Allah. He
told also “ Allah’s last prophet told in this night Allah will send
down 70,000 angels with trays of the light from the sky to the
earth and visit houses and pour down the trays on the persons
who will not sleep during this night.” Upon saying this, Sheikh
began weeping. He told “ It is not known why the persons will not
get this grace of Allah and they will neglect the worship of Allah.
The discussion was in progress and during this time Sheikh
Badruddin Ghaznavi come over there along with six Darwesh
persons and paid his respect to Sheikh so he asked him to sit
down there.
The discussion about the Sama (ecstasy)
Now the discussion about the Sama (ecstasy) was commenced.

All were silent there. Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi told, “ The
Sama (ecstasy) is contented of the hearts.” With this, the lovers
who will swim in the rivers of the friendship (Ashnai) and for
this they will able to get momentum and action.” The Sheikh told,
“ Sure this is a tradition of lovers that when they remember the
name of their beloved and they will be pleased in this matter.”
276
Upon this, Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi asked Sheikh “ Why

there will be a condition of unconsciousness which will prevail
on the listeners of the Sama (ecstasy).?. Then Sheikh told “ From
the day when they heard the call of “Alast Rabbakum ” (
“Am I not your Lord?”) then they are in condition of
unconsciousness and at that time the delight of unconsciousness
was pouring down in their yeast so for this reason even today
when they hear any good thing then they will become
intoxicated .” Shams Dabir was sanctified to touch the feet of
Sheikh and asked him “ At that time of ‘Alast Rabbiku’ (“Am I
not your Lord?”) all souls were together or in separate
condition.? He has replied, “All souls were together”. There was a
question from him why they will become later the Muslim,
Hindu, Christian and fire worshippers (Zoroastrian)?.”
The Sheikh told, “ Imam Ghazali wrote in his book “ When
Allah has called “Alast Rabbakum” (“Am I not your Lord?”) then
all souls were equal. After hearing they were divided into four
lines (Saf) and they have told “ It means there is no doubt You
are our Lord and accepted with their hearts and tongues and were
gone into prostration and among them prophets, friends of Allah,
true persons and pious person were included.”
“ The second line of the souls accepted Allah by their hearts
but did not said by their tongues and they also went into
prostration and so among them the persons who will born in the
non-Muslims communities, but they will die as Muslim by
faith.The third group said only by their tongues, but not accepted
it by their hearts and they went into prostration and they said they
have repented what they have done in this matter so they will
born Muslim, but they will be died as a non-Muslim without faith.
The fourth group did not tell by their tongues and not accepted
it by hearts and they have not prostrated. So these persons will be
away for the privilege of the covenant in the beginning and
ending. ”
277
After the description up to here by Sheikh then the first

discussion was started again. He said,” Those who become
unconscious in the Sama (ecstasy) meetings belongings to such
persons who were becoming unconscious upon hearing the call of
“Alast Rabbakum” (“Am I not your Lord?”). So that thing is still
available for them and when they hear the name of their friend
then there will be surprises, pleasure and unconsciousness which
will prevail upon them. All these things belong to Marafat
(knowledge of Allah). It means if there will no identification of
the friend then there will no interest in the worship of 1000 years.
Because such person will not know to whom he is obeying and
the purpose of obedience which was defined by the people of the
Saluk (mystic initiation) and the persons of love.”
In the Quran it is mentioned “ Wama Khalaqtu Jin Wa Ans
Illa Yabodoon . ” “And I created not the
Jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me.” Imam
Zahed mentioned its meaning as follows “ And Allah created not
the Jinn and mankind except that they should worship him”.
The people of Saluk (mystic initiation) say that from ‘Yarifun or
Abidun’ ‘it means the identification of the friendliest and unless
there will no identification there will be no fervour in the
sincerity. In the worldly love (Majazi) if somebody will not see
the other then there will be no love at all. Upon becoming a lover,
there will be no reach of the lover to the lover’s place without the
help of the beloved’s relatives. So in the same way on the way of
Tariqa (spiritual path) and Haqiqat (reality) unless the man will
not recognize his creator and if he will not become the friend of
Allah’s friends and also if he will not attach himself to them then
he will not find the peace and pleasure in sincerity and worship of
Allah. The Sheikh told the meaning of “Alast Rabbakum” (“Am I
not your Lord?”) is the identity of the friend. Suddenly
Mohammed Shah Qawwal (chorister) come over there along
with his party in front of Hazrat Ohud Kirmani. Sheikh Jamal
Hansavi, Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi were also present there at
278
that time. The Sheikh asked the Qawwals (choristers) to sing

something and they have started singing so Sheikh was standing
and started dancing and this condition prevailed on him for one
night and day, but at the time of prayer, he use to come out of the
Sama (ecstasy) and will perform the prayer and upon its finish he
used to join again in the Sama (ecstasy) session. The chorister
recited the following Ghazal (ode).
After the ecstasy (Sama) the discussion was again started on

the people of Saluk (mystic initiation). The Sheikh said “ The
people of Sama (ecstasy) are such people and in their condition of
surprise and Istaraq (engrossment) if there will be an attack of
100 swords on them then there will be no information to them in
this matter. When the man will be drowned in the love of his
lover then he will not know about the world and its happenings.
Also, he will not concern about the World and whatever it
contains in it and he will not know about anyone who will come
there and who left from there and also he will not able to know
what was happening in this matter.”
After this some Darwesh persons told Sheikh that they are
travelling and want to go their places, but they have no money
for the expenses of the journey. There were some dry dates which
were available before Sheikh so he collected some dry dates and
was giving them and asked them to go. The Darwish persons
come out of the shrine building and began talking about the dry
dates and they wanted to throw away them there as dates are no
use at all for them and upon throwing dates, they watched that the
dates were the gold coins. The Muezzin (one who shouts the call
279
to prayer) was called for the prayer and Sheikh was busy in the
prayer. I left the meeting place with other persons.
The Thursday 9th Shaban 655 Hegira year
And today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.

Sheikh Jamal Hansavi was present there. There was discussion in
progress about cutting of the hairs. The Sheikh told “ He was
reading in the book Sairal Arifin that when a Muslim person will
become a disciple of Sheikh then first he should take a bath and,
if possible, observe prayer throughout the night and pray Allah
for his welfare. If this is not possible on Thursday or Monday at
the time of chaste (mid-morning prayer) supererogatory prayer to
visit Sheikh along with his relatives and friends and sit there
facing the direction of Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in
prayer). Pray two Rakat (one Rakat = two sets of standing,
genuflexion and prostration in prayers) of Istaqara (augury)
prayer. The spiritual master should ask the disciple to sit before
him and upon his sitting recite some verses from the holy Quran
and blow on him and ask him to read Istaqfar (asking forgiveness
from Allah through repetition of formulas). When the disciple will
sit in the direction Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in
prayer) then the spiritual master should take scissor in his hand
and recite Allah Akbar (Allah is great) three times in loud noise.
The Method of using the scissor
There are differences among the learned persons (Mashaiq) in

using the methods of the scissor. Some persons says to pay
attention towards Nafs Ammara (one’s baser self) and think that
there is war with it and there should be a condition of Ghazi
(Muslim soldier) who is fighting in the Islamic army. Upon
saying Allah Akbar (Allah is great) in a loud voice, the angels
will come down from the sky for the help in this matter and after
280
this to recite “ Lahool Wala Quwata Illa Billa Aliwul Azeem ”

("There is no might nor power except in
Allah.") and not allowed for any doubt in this matter. Upon
reciting third times Allaho Akbar (Allah is great) then recite La
Ilha Illah Mahammedur Rasool Illah (There is no god but God,
Muhammad is the messenger of God.) for one time and recite
twenty times Darud (blessing of the prophet) and recite one time
Istagfar (asking forgiveness from Allah through repetition of
formulas). After the completion of above procedure the Murshid
(spiritual master) should take one hair from the forehead of the
disciple and should say “ Oh : King of kings, his slave who was
fleeing from his side was returned back again in His presence and
want His worship and want to leave all things except You.” After
this one hair from the right side and one hair from the left of the
forehead should be selected and cut both of them with a scissor.
The other group says one hair from the forehead is enough
and not more than this is required in this matter. In this matter
Khaja Hasan of Basra refers one tradition from Hazrat Ali Ibn
Taleb (R.A.) that one hair is enough. Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.)
is the caliph of Safa people (The People of the Veranda (Ahl-i-
Safa, companions of pure). There is one Hadith (saying of the
holy prophet) in his favour “ Ana Madina al Alim Wa Ali
Babaham.” “I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate". After
that, I asked Sheikh “When the tradition of scissor was started.”
He said “ From prophet Abraham (A.S.) to him angel Gabriel
advised him in this matter.” In this connection, he said “ Once
Habib Ajmi and Hasan of Basra were sitting together there and
one person come there and he told them that he was a disciple of
one person.” The Sheikh asked him “ What's your master was
given teaching to him.?” He told, “My master cuts my hair but
was not given any teaching at all.” The two pious persons shouted
and said: “ He is not on the right path and he is misleading
281
others.”From this event, it is known that the spiritual master

should check the disciple and then accept him as his disciple.”
Upon this Sheikh told “ The master should be such that if any
person come to see for purposes of devotion (Iradat) then he
should make his chest clean with the light of Marafat (knowledge
of Allah) so that there should no resentment (Kudarat) remain
there and he will shine like a mirror. If he does not possess such
power and ability, then he should not accept him as his disciple.
Because upon such thing that person will not get anything from
his master.”
Nafas Ammara (one’s baser self), Nafas Lavama (conscience),

Nafas Mutminna (one’s satisfied self)
The Sheikh told “ When any person want to become a disciple

of any pious person or person of saintliness (Velayat) then he
should check the action and movements of his three Nafs (souls)
and watch whether he is under control of it or in the possession of
Nafas Ammara (one’s baser self) secretly. Because in Quran it is
mentioned that “ Wa Ma ubri In Nafsa al-Ammara Bis Suye”.
. Then he should see his Nafas Lavama
(conscience) and check whether he is involved in it or not.? In
the Quran, it is mentioned that “ Wal Iqsam Bil Nafase Lavama.”
(conscience). After checking Nafas Mutamainna
(one's satisfied, self) in him. As in Quran, it is mentioned “ Ya
Ayyatuhal Nafas Mutaminna Arji Ela Rabbak Raziat Marzia ”.
(one’s satisfied, self)
“Then check the heart, whether it is good or not.? Upon passing
from the above processes and he should burnish his consciousness
and accept his pledge and make him his disciple.
If any person did not know the work of the scissor as per the
tradition of the people of Saluk (mystic initiation) then he is not
282
on the right path and so for the reason he will put the poor fellow
who will become his disciple on the wrong way.
Upon saying this sentence the Sheikh began weeping and he
said there is an event of Basher Hafi when he was repenting and
he went to see Khaja Junaid of Baghdad and on his hand, he was
become penitent, so Sheikh after scissor work accepted him as
his disciple and awarded him saintly dress (Qirqa). After that
event Basher Hafi left the place and used to walk without wearing
the footwear. Somebody asked him “ Khaja : why he did not wear
the footwear?”. And he replied “It is not his power that he should
walk on the floor of King with the footwear.”This is one reason
and also hear there is another reason in this matter. On the day
when there was a covenant with Allah, then he was without the
footwear so for this reason it is a dishonour for him to wear the
footwear. After this Sheikh told “ It is saying to the people of
Saluk (mystic initiation) that the Sheikh, who do not advise his
disciple on the rules and regulations of religion of Ahle Sunnat
Wa Jamat (as people following of the prophet’s practice and
commanding a majority) and who will not keep his condition as
per the book of Allah and as per tradition of the prophet of Allah
then he is a thief. From the smoke we can know about the fire
and from the disciple we can know about his spiritual master.
There are many people who are on the wrong path because of the
reason that their master is not perfect spiritual master. The matter
of scissor belongs to secret matter of Allah and its revelation was
not known by any person. But some persons were explained in
this matter that by scissor the veils between the man and his
creator are removed.” He said further, “ The shrine of the heart of
a person has much importance and significance with Allah. But
the person does not rectify it. Surely there are deviations from the
right path and they are on the wrong way. The prophet told “
Qalab Momen Arash Tallah.” . It means the heart
of the Muslim (Momen) is Arash (throne) of Allah. After this
Sheikh told “ When there are 70 veils before the Darwesh person
283
and then there will no light which will reach to him and one
who do not know the knowledge of the scissor work and Qirqa
(saintly dress) and if he want peoples become his disciples then
think him that he is on the wrong path and so he also bring others
on the wrong track. The Darwesh should possess knowledge and
power so that in scissor work and for awarding Qirqa (saintly
dress) he should not commit any mistake in this matter as per the
rules and regulations of Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamat (as people
following of the prophet’s practice and commanding a majority).
The Sheikh told “ In the book Dalil Shafi Sheikh Shafiq Balaqi
wrote that the Fakir (Darwesh) one who is not living away from
the mankind so, for this reason, he will be away from Allah. If
Darwesh person who lives in the company of people, then he will
not be free from problems and difficulties. Due to this fact, a Salik
(it is also known as a Salik (Arabic: ‫)َس اِل ك‬, a Mureed is an initiate
into the mystic philosophy of Sufism) is kept away from the path
of the Allah. So he was reading in the book Salik Saluk which
was written by Bayazid of Bustam that “ The Salik (a Salik
(Arabic: ‫)َس اِل ك‬, a Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy
of Sufism) of the path of Tariqa (spiritual path) should not even
leave the house unnecessary and should not sit very much in the
company of the persons and but he can visit the meeting of
learned persons but at that meeting also he should not talk
unnecessary things there. Then he should watch what will be the
result of his worship and see how there will be enlightened by his
consciousness. After this Sheikh told “ Before scissor work on the
head of the disciple the disciple should be asked to have a bath
first and then the spiritual master should put some sweet in the
mouth of disciple and to pray with Allah as follows.
“ Oh: Allah grants this man the fervour of sweetness of the way
towards Yourself and good eagerness and zeal.” If possible, give
him instruction in the loneliness (Khilwat) otherwise, give him
the instruction about silence and Iradat (devotion).”
284
Afterwards Sheikh told “ In the book Israral Arifin, it is

written that for some person the period of Khilwat (loneliness) is
40 days and for some person 70 days and for some person for 99
days. But the tradition of the 99 days is correct and reliable and
this tradition is referred by Abdulla Tastari. But as per group of
the Junidia it is mentioned a period of 12 years and as per group
of the Baseria it is mentioned a period of 20 years. The meaning
of worship is to control over Nafas Ammara (one’s baser self) and
loneliness means to imprison the dog of the soul (Nafas). Many of
the Mashaiq (learned) persons of the past were taught for
Maraqaba (meditation) and they refer it as the Saluk (mystic
initiation). They said “In the loneliness, nothing should not be
done except Maraqaba (meditation)”. It is better to cover the head
with a cloth of the spiritual master in the loneliness because
there will be light from its blessing in the Maraqaba (meditation)
and for this purpose the Qirqa (saintly dress) was used to be
awarded for these works only.
The advise of Zikr (invocation of Allah)
The Sheikh told “Some learned persons (Mashaiq) like Khaja
Fazil Ayaz and Khaja Hasan of Basra told “ It is compulsory for
the spiritual master to put his cap on the head of his disciple. After
this, he should advise him for Zikr ( invocation of Allah).” There
are three kinds of Zikr ( invocation of Allah) which are as
follows.
1.La Ilha Illah. (There is no God but God).2. Subhan
Allah, wal Hamdulilah, wa La illaha ilAllahu, waAllahu Akbar.
(Glory be to Allah, All Praise is
for Allah, There is no God but Allah, Allah is the Greatest) 3.Ya
Haiyul Qayyum. (There is no God but He -the Living,
The Self-subsisting, The Eternal.) If you choose first Zikr
(invocation of Allah) then it is required to recite nine times La
Ilha Illah ( ) and ten times say “Mohammedur Rasool
Illah”. Upon this recite 21 times “Subhan Allah’ and after this
285
recite three times “Ya Haiyu Ya Qayum” . But the above

phrase should be recited in a loud voice so that the persons who
were present at the meeting should hear it and have felt the
pleasure of it. But care should be taken in this matter that the
noise should not be so loud and it will reach to the houses of
other people and disturb them. ”
The Sheikh continued his discussion that “ In the group of
Junaidia there is instruction in this matter to recite it for 12 times
with which he was agreed in this matter. He continued his
discussion further that Zikr (invocation of Allah) should be
performed with great dignity and at that time, the small hairs on
the body should perform the work of the tongue. When Prophet
Yahia (A.S.) used to perform the Zikr (invocation of Allah) then
he will use to become in an unconscious condition and so he used
to go towards the jungle and try to shout in loud voice there with
great zeal and enthusiasm and used to say “ Oh: Allah You are
pure and clean like the house and his heart is full with his Zikr
(invocation of Allah). If any word other than His name will
proclaim from his tongue, then he will die in that condition.”
After this Sheikh told “In the book Sharah Asrar, Khaja
Yousuf Chisti was mentioned the saying of Zanon Masri that the
example of the spiritual master and his disciple is like a nurse and
baby. If the baby will say any bad things, then the nurse will
make him busy with other good things and try him to make him
good hearted and pious one. In the same way the spiritual master
some time he should advise his disciple for the Zikr (invocation
of Allah) and some time he will ask him to read the holy book of
Quran so that his heart will not attach to any bad thing.”
After this Sheikh told, “ There is saying that the disciple
should not mix with the people of the world very much and with
them not have busy much in their company and connection
because in such company the heart of the disciple is disturbed
badly.” “ Nothing is not injurious to Darwesh than the company
286
of the rich and wealthy persons. The Fakir’s world and his
religion are rectified in the room.”
Again Sheikh was continued and he said “ The condition of
spiritual masters and his disciple should be the same which is
mentioned as above. If somebody will not find a perfect spiritual
master or one who will not follow the books of the people of
Saluk (mystic initiate) or who will not follow completely the
traditions of the pious persons of the past then in such condition
one should become the disciple of that person upon thinking
carefully on this matter.
After this Sheikh continued his discussion and he said “ For
Sheikh it is a matter of obligation for him to advise his disciple to
be away from the company of the kings and wealthy persons and
also he should advise him that he should not desire for fame and
wealth. He should not talk very much and he should not go
anywhere without any need because all those matters belong to
the people of the world. The love of the world is the root cause of
all problems.” Again Sheikh told “ Always
never leave the prayer mat un-necessarily. Because the people of
Tariqa (spiritual path) say that when one person who will roam
daily for the demand of the world, then for him the knowledge
will not remain as legal or illegal for him. If any Sufi person who
leave Saluki (mystic initiate) and prayer mats and roam in the
bazaar and streets, then his condition will become shallow in this
matter.”
After this Sheikh told “ Abu Baker Shibly says that the sign of
the person who walks on the right path is that he should not sleep
on a Friday night in all conditions and he should busy in the
following things.
1. Zikr (invocation of Allah)
2. Reading of the Quran
3. Nafil (supererogatory) prayers
287
But he should pray Nafil (supererogatory) prayers because it is

very important because it is said that “ Salat Marajal Mominin.”
.The Sheikh continued his discussion further and
he said “ The people of Saluk (mystic initiate) say “ The
foundation of Saluk (mystic initiate) is a mystic exercise (Riyazat)
and its fruit is devotion (Iradat). So for this reason, the person
should keep away from the company of the rich and kings and
control the desires of the soul and try to sit in the company pious
personalities. As per saying of Allah’s last prophet, “ Suhabat
Salahain Noor was Rahamatal Alemin.” .It
means the company of pious personalities is light and the mercy
of the world.
The 11th Shaban 655 Hegira year
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The

discussion was in progress about the persons who will be busy in
the prayers, but due to engrossment (Istaraq) they forget
themselves in this matter. The Sheikh said “ When he was in
Ghazni on his journey and he was seen there were some
Darwesh persons were there who were very busy in their Zakir
( invocation of Allah) and recitals and he was with them in the
night. In the morning he went to a reservoir which was very near
for the purpose of ablution there and find there one old pious
person and he was asked about him his details. He told me “ He
was suffering due to stomach pain since long time and due to this
illness, his health was becoming very worse.” I spent that day in
his presence and in the night I come to know that he was used to
perform 120 Rakat supererogatory (one Rakat = one set of
standards, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) prayers in every
night. For each time of his natural call he used to take a new bath
immediately and perform two Rakat supererogatory of prayer. So
I observed all his things carefully. One day I was entered in the
288
reservoir for a bath and he was also going out of it and died there.
Upon saying this event, Sheikh was began weeping and he said “
It was an excellent thing that he was firm in his faith until his
last movement of life and he was the slave of Allah and he was
followed all rules and regulation in this matter and was bringing it
to its greatest heights.” He said “ Upon enduring the hardships
and difficulties then the man will be able to away from the sins
and with this there will be good results for him.”
After this Sheikh told “ He was in Bukhara with Sheikh
Saifuddin Bakharzi and at that time somebody come there and
conveyed his Salam and said “ Oh : Imam (leader) he is having
some wealth with him. But during this period he was suffering
losses and sometime there is a pain in his organs of the body.”
The Sheikh said “ There may be a cause of less payment of Zakat
(Islamic religious tax) and coming of illness is the reason for the
belief (Eman) and faith. The Sheikh continued his discussion
further in this matter and he said “ The persons from successors
to the prophet’s companions (Taibain) wrote in their books that
on the day of judgement the indigent (Fakirs) persons will get
such higher and top most position and status that the mankind will
be in miserable condition that why they not become indigent
(Fakirs) persons in that world. The patients will get such a reward
that the people will be feeling that they would have been in such
condition during the whole life period and will get such higher
rewards there. After this Sheikh said “ At time of pain and grief
the man should think about the cause of this problem because the
cure of the soul can be done well by us.” And upon saying this
Sheikh began weeping and he was beginning reciting the
following couplet from the Persian poetry.
289
The respect and favour of the Darwesh persons
The discussion was now staring about the respect and favour
of the Darwesh persons so that for the sake of their blessing
Allah can take you under his shadow.
The Sheikh told “ The ruler of Multan and Awuch Sher Khan
was used to oppose him there and during the period of one year he
was killed by the army of the Kufar (infidel) ruler who attacked
Multan and he was killed in that attack and he was used to recite
the following poetry couplet in Persian in his matter.”
In this connection Sheikh was continuing his discussion further

and he said “ Once he was reached Swaistan in the presence of
Ohud Kirmani and Sheikh embraced me closely and he said “ It's
excellent welcome for his arrival there.” I was sitting in the
shrine building and at that time ten Darwesh persons came there
and they were discussing among themselves about the miracles
and piousness. One person among them was told “ The person of
miracle should disclose their miracle.” So others told him you
should disclose your miracle first. Sheikh Ohud Kirmani turned
his face towards them and he said “ The behaviour of the ruler of
Swaistan is not well with him so for this reason he used to give
him trouble daily, but today he will not come back safely from
the field.” At that time upon the comments of Sheikh one person
come from the outside and he was informed that today the ruler
went to the jungle for hunting purposes and he was falling down
from a horse and his neck was broken and he was dying there.
Upon this the Darwesh persons were looking at me and they were
asking me to say something in this matter. So I did meditation in
this matter and after some time raised my head and said “To look
before their eyes”. So all were seeing before them that they were
standing in the holy Ka’aba (grand mosque) in Makkah and they
were coming back from there. So for this reason all the Darewesh
290
persons recognized me as a Darwesh person. After this myself

and Sheikh Ohud Kirmani told the Darwesh persons that we have
done our work so they should now show their work. Upon hearing
this all Darwesh persons put their heads in their saintly dresses
(Qirqa) and vanished from there. After this Sheikh told me “ Oh
: Moulana Nizamuddin, those who will be busy in the work of
Allah, then Allah will also help them in their work. It means the
person who will not decrease the service of Allah and if all his
deeds are as per the will of his friend then who will become Ghazi
(Muslim warrior) always for his Nafas (soul) then Allah will not
act against his will.”
After this Sheikh said “ Once he went to Badakshan and he was
found there were so many pious personalities were there. Abdul
Wahid, who was a sister’s son of Zanon of Masr was living there
in the cave which was away from the city. When he comes to
know his information then he visited him in the cave. He found
his weak and thin personality and he was standing in the cave and
his one foot was inside and the other foot was outside of the cave
and he was standing there in the condition of surprise. He
reached near him and conveyed Salam to him. He told him how
he come there? And then he was becoming silent for three days
and no sentence was uttered from his tongue. On the third day he
comes back into the world of consciousness and he told “ Oh :
Farid does not come near to him otherwise he will be burned
down and also do not go far from him otherwise he will be
fascinated.”You please hear my story. He lived in this cave for a
period of 70 years. One day one woman was passed from here and
his heart was desired for her so wanted to go outside in this
matter. At that time he was heard a divine call in which it was
told “ Oh : claimant of the covenant he used to say that he was
left all unrelated things.” Upon hearing this divine call, his one
foot which was left outside and there was one foot which was
left inside of the cave was there and he has been in this condition
of surprise since 30 years. There is fear with him that how he will
291
face Allah on the day of judgement due to his regret in this

matter.” After this great Sheikh said “He was spending the night
there and at the time of the break of fasting, he was seeing one
tray was come there in front of Sheikh in which there were 10
dates.” The Sheikh told “ He used to receive daily five dates and
today 10 dates were sent here due to his presence. So come and
have eaten these dates and drink milk and break the fast.” I kissed
the earth with respect and eaten the dates and drank the milk.
After this Sheikh was began busy in his world of activities. At
that time ruler of Badakshan came there and kissed his feet with
respect and he stands before him with great respect and honour.
The Sheikh asked him what do you want.? So he said “ The ruler
of Suwastan was taking his goods by force. So please give me
permission to fight him in this matter.” Upon hearing the details
Sheikh smiled and took one wooden stick which was lying in
front of him and put it in the direction of Suwastan and tried to
beat in this matter. Upon this event the ruler left from there. After
some time some people brought his goods with them and they told
the story that the ruler of Suwastan was sitting on his throne in the
court and he was passing royal orders there and at that time one
wooden stick was coming from the inside of the royal court wall
and which hit the ruler so for this reason his neck was cut and he
was falling down on the floor. After this event there was a divine
call in which it was told “ It was the hand of Sheikh Abdul
Wahed Badakshani which was killed the ruler.”
Upon this Sheikh said, “ He lived in his company for some
days and then he was given the permission to leave him from
there.” After this, Sheikh was beginning his preparation for the
prayer.
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. There

the discussion was progressing about piousness of Sheikh Abul
Ghais Yamani and Sheikh Saduddin Hamuya. The Sheikh told
292
“Sheikh Adul Ghais Yamani al-Hussaini was a great person of

innermost qualities and who was seen great Sufi masters and well
known pious personalities of time like Sheikh Yousuf al-Hussaini,
Sheikh Shahabuddin Saherwardi, Sheikh Fariduddin Attar, Sheikh
Usman Harooni. Once Mullah Mughal conquered Yemen. At that
time Khaja Abul Ghais was residing in the monastery. So the
caliph was going to see him and he explained the situation and
was requested his help in this matter. The Sheikh gave him the
horse whip and he was instructed to burn near the army of Mullah
Mughal. The caliph as per instruction of the Sheikh was burned
the wood in front of Mughal Army. Upon burning of the wood
there was fighting was started in the Mughal army so they began
killing each other. In the last it was known that there comes a
group of green persons who killed the Mughal army and shattered
the Mughal army camp and in the morning no person of Mughal
army was alive and all were killed. In this connection Sheikh said
one event of Sheikh Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki ” Once Sheikh
Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki was with Jalaluddin Tabrazi, Sheikh
Bahuddin Zikria in Multan. At that time Qubacha who was ruler
of Multan come there and told the Mughal army came near the
city so he asked him what to do in this matter.? There was one
arrow with Khaja Qutubuddin so he gave the arrow to the ruler
and asked him to throw it towards the Mughal army so he did as
per the instruction of Sheikh and the Mughal army was fleeing
from Multan city.”
The Sheikh said “ Once there was no rain in Yemen so, for
this reason, the agricultural fields were becoming dry and due to
starvation a large number of the people were dying. So the caliph
visited Sheikh Abul Ghaith with the people of Yemen and he was
requested for his prayer for the rain. So Sheikh said to all of
them to come in his prayer place tomorrow. The ruler came the
next day in his prayer place and Sheikh Abul Ghaith was sitting
on the pulpit and started praising of Allah and he was sent the
blessing on Allah’s last prophet and was looking at the sky and
293
said: “ Oh: my Lord: if he accepts his obedience then send the

rain.” Upon this prayer, the heavy rainfall was started and it was
not stopped till six days. The people used to say by swearing that
in their whole life they could not see such a heavy rainfall so far.
After this, Sheikh said the details of the above Sheikh’s death.
The Sheikh was sitting after the morning (Fajr) prayer on his
prayer mat. One person was coming there at that time in his
service. After performing Ishraq (mid-morning supererogatory
prayer) prayer, he asked that person to call Ghassal (undertaker
whose work is restricted to washing the dead corpse) and keep a
dress and scent. The Ghassal was coming there and all other
things were collected there. After this he told them to leave him
alone as the horsemen of Allah will come there and he was started
reciting verse (Sura) Yasin from Quran. When he reached the
following place ” Fasubhanal Lazi Bedihi Malkurat Kulu Shai
elahi Turjaon.” Then he left this
mortal world. From the corner of the wall there was a divine
calling heard in which it was heard “ The friend was attached to
his friend.” After saying this Sheikh began weeping in loud noise
due to sorrow and his grief in this matter and after making a
slogan he was becoming unconscious there. When he was
becoming conscious then he recited the following couplet of the
Persian Poetry.
After this Sheikh continued his discussion further and said “

When the age of prophet Mosa (A.S.) was completed and one day
he was going outside to go somewhere and he was visited by the
angel of death on the way. The angel was conveyed his Salam to
him. He answered his salutation and asked him who he is ?. The
angel said “ He is the angle of death.” Prophet Mosa was in the
condition of fervour, so he slapped heavily the angle of death so
294
he ran away from there and he said he will not go there again.
Hazrat Izrail went to his place and in prostration, he said “ Oh:
Allah, where he sent him.? If he was not fleeing from there, then
his life was in danger.” He received the reply which is as
follows. “ Oh: angel of the death, among him and his friends there
is no place of the other unrelated person and because We know
and our friends know well in this matter.”
On the next day of the above event prophet Mosa (A.S.) was
sitting after the prayer and his face was in the direction of the
Dome of the rock (Baitaul Muqdies) and at that time angel
Gabriel comes there to see him and conveyed Salam to him and
presented one apple from the paradise. Upon smelling from the
apple prophet Mosa (A.S.) felt the smell of his friend in his mind
and so cried loudly and died suddenly there. Upon saying the
details of the above event, Sheikh was began weeping and all the
persons were also affected by this and began weeping due to this
reason. The Sheikh’s condition began further down in this matter
and he recited the following couplet of the Persian poetry.
The above event of prophet Mosa (A.S.) and the angel of the
death could not be viewed by the apparent eye’s view and
apparent understanding of wisdom as this event belongs to the
platonic (Imsal) world. There is superiority of man among all
creations of Allah. So there should be required to show this
preference and relation of man with the creator so such event was
happening to show this importance and relation in this matter.
So the above event should not be viewed by the eye of the
manifest (Zaheri) and by the understanding of manifest (Zaheri)
of the wisdom. For this reason, so there should be no objection
in this matter logically, but we should see the greatness of the
mankind among the creations of Allah.
In this connection Sheikh continued his discussion further and
he said “ One pious personality went to visit the grave of prophet
295
Mosa (A.S.) and he heard the voice which was coming from the
grave “ Rabbi Arni Anzar Alaik” (manifest thyself to me) and
at that time he told there “ The love which will remain in the
both conditions of life and death” . The Sheikh told “ On the day
of judgement prophet Mosa (A.S.) will hold the parapet of the
throne (Arash) of Allah and he will say “Rabbi Arni Anzar Alaik
(manifest thyself to me) ” and if the angels will not stop him
from his excess of indulgence and fondness then there will much
more problems like the problems of the day of the judgement.
After this Sheikh saw me and he said: “Taleb (student) should
always be drowning in the love and fondness and he should
always keep the remembrance in the heart and there should be
progress for it for every moment.”
After this Sheikh said “ One youth person’s last time came. He
belongs to the category of the persons who are eligible to enter
the Kingdom of Heaven. The angel of death went to visit for him
to take out his soul and was searched him in the East, West, South
and in the North but he could find his address anywhere. So he
went back to his place and prostrated the Lord and said, “ Oh:
Lord of the worlds he could not find the youth person anywhere
and he was commanded to check him in the ruined and deserted
places and as well as such other similar places and to get him
from there.” So he went all these places but he could not find him
there and so he went to his place and he was informed the Lord of
the worlds in this matter. He heard the divine call “ Oh: angel of
the death, he cannot take out the souls of Our dear ones. They will
die for the sake of Our name, Our remembrance and for Our
aspiration and so he does not know the details in this matter.” The
Sheikh began weeping and recited the following couplet of the
Persian poetry.
Upon this Sheikh said “ When my brother Sheikh Bahauddin

Zakaria was near at death, then his son Sheikh Sadar Uddin Arif
was sitting outside of the door and at that time somebody came
296
there and he was given him one letter and asked him to give the
envelope to his father without opening it. When Sadar Uddin saw
the name on the envelope and he began weeping and he told him
that he was recognized him that he is an angel of death. The
angel of death told him “Yes”. Then he asked him why he did not
go inside of the house.?. The angel said, “ This work will be taken
by him and his duty was only to hand over this letter to him.”
Sheikh Sadar Uddin went inside of the house and Sheikh
Bahuddin was busy in the worship. When he finished his work,
then Sheikh Sadar Uddin has given him the envelope. The Sheikh
opened the envelope and read the letter and went into prostration
and died. At that time, there was a divine called heard and in
which it was said: “ The friend was attached to his friend.” Upon
saying this, Sheikh made a slogan and become unconscious and
he said: “ One day he will also go to see his friend.”
On this occasion he was told the story of Sheikh Saduddin
Hamuya and he said “ He was a great pious personality of his
time. He went to one mosque and he was staying there. In that
city many Muslim persons were there in ill condition of health. So
for this reason he asked to bring all patients before him. When the
patient visits him, then he used to fondle his hand and then the
patient will be recovered from the illness due to the kind grace of
Allah. In this way many thousand persons were becoming well
there. From that place Sheikh went to Ghazni and in that city also
due to his sake many persons were got their lives back to them.
Then Sheikh Saduddin went to Ouch and when his last time came
there all his friends were gathered at his place on the day of his
death. Sheikh Saduddin sat on the floor and his face was in the
direction of Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer) and
he was starting the recitation of the verse (Sura) Baqra and at
the time of Ishraq (mid morning supererogatory) prayer and also
he was completed recitation of the holy book of Quran and after
he went into prostration and died. After this Sheikh was began
weeping.
297
He continued his discussion further and he said “Sheikh

Saifuddin Baqarzi used to sleep on the place where he used to
perform Isha (night) prayers. The Imam (leader) and Muezzin
(one who shouts the call to prayer) were used to presenting with
him during the whole night time and there will be a very much
invocation of Allah and he used to be spent his whole life in this
routine.”
After this Sheikh said, “One person in Bukhara saw in his
dream that the lighted lamp was going out of the gate of Bukhara
city.” Upon his wake up from the dream he went to see some
pious person to know the details of the interpretation of his
dream. The pious person told him “Some great pious personality
will die.”
The Sheikh again continued his discussion further and he said
“Sheikh Saifuddin Ba-Kharzi who saw his spiritual master in his
dream and who was showing very much fondness towards him.
After this event for a period of one week there was talk of the
separation many times and the words of farewell and separation
were on the tongue of the Sheikh. So the people were surprised in
this matter and they could not know the reason for it in this
matter. At last he himself said “ Oh : Muslim, his Sheikh was
calling him so he will go there”. And by saying this he went into
the house. All of his friends were gathered there and lit the torch
in the night when he was dying. Sheikh Saderuddin was spent
some part of the night in the thoughts of the separation from his
friend and at that time one person came there wearing blanket
and offered him one apple with great respect which he brought in
his hand and due to the smell of it Sheikh Saderuddin died there.
The Sheikh was began weeping again and he was started reciting
of the Persian couplet and also he was asked Sheikh Bederudden
and Moulana Ishauqe to recite poetry from Masnavi (is an
extensive poem) and so he was beginning reciting the poetry of
Persian couplet.
298
The Sheikh was becoming unconscious and he was in this

condition for a period of three days and afterwards, he was
becoming in the normal condition.
The way of Saluk (mystic initiation) in Tariqa (the spiritual

path)
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Some

Darwesh persons were coming there to visit Sheikh Bahuddin
Zakaria and there was discussion in progress about Saluk (mystic
initiation).The Sheikh of Islam said “The Tariqa (spiritual path)
way is only the name of acceptance and approval. If somebody
will put a sword on the neck in that condition one should not
refuse it and make no escape from it.” Again he said “If there
will be such above condition which prevails with any person then
accept him as a Darwesh person.”At that time one old lady came
there and paid her respect and honour to the Sheikh. So Sheikh
told her to come near to him. When she comes close to him
Sheikh asked her how are you.? The old woman said “ Oh: my
master since the period of 20 years she was suffering from the
problem of the separation of her son and she does not know
whether he is alive or dead.?” The Sheikh went into meditation
(Maraqaba) and after some time he lifts his head and he told “ Go
her son will come back.” The old woman went back to her house
in happy mode and condition. After reaching her house, she was
found knocking on her door so the old woman asked who is
there.? And she received a reply from the door that he is such and
such person. The old woman went outside of his house and she
was found, her lost son was there so she with great joy and
299
happiness she was hugging with him and she brought him inside
the house and asked him where he was there for such a long
period.? The son said, “ He was 1875 away miles from here. So
the mother asked him how he was reaching back here today.?
The son was saying “ He was standing on the riverside and there
was an idea about her which come into his mind suddenly and due
to this there was trouble in his mind so he was began weeping in
this matter. At that time suddenly one pious person who was
wearing a dress of honour and his colour was white emerged
from the water and he was asked to him why he is weeping
there.? So he explained him all details in this matter. The pious
personality told me “ If now he will take him back to his place
what do he will do?. But he thought this task very difficult. That
Darwesh told me “ To hold his hand and close the eyes. Upon
opening the eyes, he found himself near the door of his house.”
The old woman understood that the Darwesh person who
brought her son back to her house was Sheikh of Islam so she
come to see him and touched his feet with great respect and
honour. Upon the departure of the old lady Sheikh said “ If any
obedience or recital is missing from any person then he should
think it is like a loss of his death. The Sheikh continued
discussion further and said “ When he was with Sheikh Yousuf
Chisti and at that time one Sufi person come there and paid his
respect and honour to Sheikh and he said “ Tonight he was
seeing a dream in which somebody said his death is near”. Then
Sheikh Chisti asked him whether his prayer was lapsed
yesterday.? That person after thinking was replied “Yes”. So
Sheikh’s interpretation in this matter in which the death is shown
as a sign. So from the person of recital if he will miss a recital,
then it is like the loss which is equal the loss of the death. As
per reference it was a tradition of Qazi Raziuddin that he was
used to read Surah (verse) Yasin from the holy book of Quran
daily but by chance one day he could not read it. In the evening
he was going somewhere on his horse and the horse hit by
300
something and he was falling down on the ground and his leg
was broken in this accident. He thought on this matter and he was
found, his fault of not reading the Sura Yasin from the holy book
of Quran.”
The Sheikh of Islam said “The person who used to perform
the daily recitals and if he could not perform it in the day time,
then he should complete in the night time and in this way he
should not leave it. Because of his negligence the effect will
reach to all cities and a large number of mankind will face the
problem in this matter.” In this connection he continued his
discussion further and he said “ Once one traveler was his guest
in his house and who told him about the events of Damascus city
that when he was reached there he was found in the condition of
destruction and in the plunder. So he could not find the houses
there more than 20. Upon his search about the condition of
destruction, it was known to him that in that city almost all
persons of Ahle Suunat Wa Jamat (as people following of the
holy prophet’s practice and commanding a majority) were
inhabited in that city and they were in the habit of daily recitals.
Once all most all persons were committed some carelessness and
negligence in this matter. Due to this reason, even a period of the
year was not completed the Mughal army was attacked the city
Damascus and it made plundered and destructed.”
Upon this Sheikh of Islam said “ It was the practice of Khaja
Moinuddin Sanjari that he used to visit funeral procession of the
deceased of the neighbour persons. When all persons leave the
graveyard, then he was used to sitting on the grave of the
deceased person and he used to recite some prayers there on this
occasion. Once he went along with the funeral procession and he
sat there on the grave of the deceased person upon leaving of all
relatives of that person. As per the statement of Sheikh
Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki that he was also present with him in
that graveyard and he said “ Many times he face was changing
and, at last, he stood by saying that due to thanks to Allah the
301
pledge (bait) is a good thing. The Sheikh of Islam was asked by

him in this matter. The Sheikh of India said “ When the person
was buried in the grave immediately the angels of punishment
(Azab) come over there and they wanted to continue their work.
Suddenly Sheikh Haruni arrived there and he said: “ He is his
disciple.”Upon saying of these words from the tongue of Sheikh
immediately there was an instruction to the angels to say, Sheikh,
that the person was opposed him. So Khaja said to them, “ No
problem that he was used to opposing him, but he was used to
attach himself so he does not want any hardships on him.” There
was a divine call in which it was heard to leave the Sheikh’s
disciple (Murid) and forgave him. He said, “ It is a good thing to
become a disciple of some of the person.”
“ Upon explaining this event, Sheikh was began weeping and he
was reciting the following Persian couplet.
One day there was a condition which prevailed on Sheikh of

Islam and he said: “ If there will be some choristers (Qawwals)
then they should hear something.” By chance on that day
choristers (Qawwals) were not present at the meeting place. At
that time, Moulana Badruddin was reading some letters and
messages from the mailbox and he was found one letter and
which he presented it to Sheikh of Islam. So he told him to read
the letter. So he stood there and began reading the letter in which
it was written many words of respect and honour in favour of the
Sheikh of Islam were written and some words are as follows.
1.Haqir (low)
2.Faqir (beggar)
3.Zaif (old)
4.Nahif (weak)
302
So upon hearing these words, there was a condition of Wajd

(ecstasy) which was prevailed on Sheikh and so he began
reading the couplets from Persian poetry which is as follows.
In this condition one day was spent and after this Sheikh told
the story of persons of Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot). He
said, “ Sheikh Qutubuddin was met Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi
and both of them began exchanging the details of the events of
their travels and at that time he was present there in the company
of the above great Sheikhs of the Islamic religion.”
Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi said “ When he was going to Qursh
then on the way he was met many pious personalities. One pious
person who was there in the cave and he was visiting him and
touched his feet with respect and honour. When he reached there
he was busy in the worship. So he waited there for some time in
this matter.Upon finishing of his prayer, I said Salam to him and
he was replying ‘Walaikum Salam Ya Jalaluddin.’ So he was
surprised and astonished in this matter that how he knows his
name.? He understood his thinking and he said “The one who sent
him here told him his name.” After this I kissed the ground with
respect and honour. He asked me to sit there so I was sat there.
The pious person said “ When once he was in Isfahan and saw a
Dervish person there who has great qualities in him and he was
about 55 years old man and belongs to sister’s son of Hasan of
Basra and who used to help Muslim and non-Muslims equally in
their time of needs. Even without asking the help of the needy
person he will use to fulfil his need and desire.”
He said again to me that many pious persons were instructed
him but the instructions of the last pious person he could not
forget and he was Khaja Arifain Sheikh Jalaluddin and who said
“ If Darwesh want to reach Allah and His nearness then it
compulsory for him that he should disgust from the world and
303
away from persons of the world because most dangerous thing for
the Darwesh person is the world and his love of the people of the
world and in this way Sheikh Jalauddin explained that when the
people of Allah left everything then they will able to find Allah.”
After this he was told “ One day and one night he was in his
presence. He was seeing two breads of barley were coming there
by an invisible source. That pious person gave me one bread and
asked him to break the fast and asked him to go one corner and
continue worship there. When one third of the night was passed
and he saw there one pious person was coming over there wearing
green blanket and there were seven tigers around him and he was
sitting before the Sheikh. For this reason there was shivering upon
me and I was eager to know about the name of that pious person
who used to love the company of jungle tigers. That person
began the recitation of Quran and when he was finished the
complete reading of the Quran then he stood and did ablution and
he again started the recitation of the Quran since beginning and by
that time the night was finished. I went near to him and joined his
prayer. After the prayer my host pious person said “ The pious
person of the tigers is prophet Khizer (name of a prophet
immortalized by the fountain of life) and do you want to meet
with him.? I shook his hands two times and he was very kind
towards me and at last he left the place with his tigers. I asked his
permission to leave Sheikh and he said “ Oh Jalal: if he wants to
leave him then he can go from here. But take care that do not be
careless and negligent in the service of the pious personalities of
Allah. It is good to become slaves of the pious persons. Go now
and you will reach to such a place where there will be a river
which will be flowing there. Where you will find two tigers there.
If there will any harm from them, then tell them his name so they
will not do any harm to him.” Sheikh Jalaluddin said upon this he
was kissing the ground and he left the place. When he reached the
place and he was found two tigers were there. When they saw
him, they began roaring and they approached towards him to
304
attack him so he told them in a loud voice that he was coming

there from such a pious personality. Upon saying this the tigers
put their heads down on his feet and began touching it and then
they left silently from there and he was coming back safely from
there.
Upon saying these details of Sheikh Jalaluddin, then Sheikh of
Islam began the details of travel events of Sheikh Qutubuddin.
He said “ In the beginning he was reached in one city and in that
place one Darwesh person was living there and near his place of
residence there was one mosque and the mosque, which was in
deplorable condition and it was having one minaret and which
was well known by the name of seven minarets but actually in
that mosque there was one minaret only. It was well known in that
city that the prayers of the persons are accepted upon visiting the
minaret. Regarding the prayer it was known that the prayer which
is performed on the minaret will have the effect of the seven
prayers. Also, it was known there that if such and such prayer is
performed while sitting on the minaret, then one can meet the
prophet Khizer (name of a prophet immortalized by the fountain
of life). At last I reached that mosque and prayed two Rakat of
Nafil (supererogatory) prayer there and went to the top of the
minaret and prayed there and come down from there and began
waiting for prophet Khizer (name of a prophet immortalized by
the fountain of life). But Khaja Khizer (A.S.) did not come there
so he was began leaving from the door and he was found one
person come there and asked him what he was doing inside of the
mosque there?. So he was saying “He was waiting for prophet
Khaja Khizer (A.S.) upon praying two Rakat (one Rakat = one set
of standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) of Nafil
(supererogatory) prayer and doing recital there but could not find
such wealth so he was going back to his house. That person told
him “ What is his work with prophet Khizer (A.S.)?, and he also
wanders here and there like him, but he could not able to enter
inside.” During the discussion which was in progress between us
305
and at that time one person wearing green dress was coming
there so the person was kissing his feet. Prophet Khizer (A.S.)
was asked with that person what I needed?, and if he needs,
whether the world or something thing either.? That person told
him “ He wants to see him only and not more than this.”
The discussion was in progress, but there was call (Azan) for
the prayer and so many Darwesh persons were coming there from
all sides automatically and one Darwesh said Allah Akbar (Allah
is great) and one Darwesh person was becoming an Imam
(leader) and he was performing the prayer. There was a month of
Ramadan so in Taraweeh (special night prayers in Ramazan)
prayer twelve parts of the Quran were recited. But in my mind, I
was thinking for recitation of some more parts of the holy Quran.
When the prayer was over and all Darwesh persons were left
from there to their previous places. I also come back to my place.
In the next night I went there with doing ablution and sat there,
but could not find anybody there till morning time. The Sheikh of
Islam was explained too many benefits in this matter and was
standing in the prayer so all persons left from there to their
houses.
The 5th Ramadan 655 Hijira year
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Dear

persons of pure and pious nature were present there in the meeting
place. The discussion on the month of Ramadan was started. The
Sheikh said “This is the holy month and during this month the
Satans will be imprisoned so that the Muslims should not be
misguided by them and all doors of mercy will be opened. For
every Muslim one angel will be sent down with a tray of mercy
for him. During day and night the serial of coming and going of
the angels will be found in the middle of sky and earth. And there
is a command of Allah, which order angels to pour down the tray
of mercy on the fast, keeping persons at the time when they break
306
the fast. The Sheikh said “ The fast is secret in between the man
and his creator.” For each and every worship there is the reward
which is already fixed. But the reward of the fast nobody knows
except Allah. In this matter Allah says “The fast is for Him and so
He only knows what the reward should be given in this matter?.”
The Sheikh said “The name of first Ashara (ten days) of this
month is known as Rahmat (mercy) and the second Ashra (ten
days) is known as Magrafat (forgiveness) and its third Ashra (ten
days) is known as freedom and released of the persons from the
hell. In the first Ashara (ten days) there will be mercy and Barkat
(blessing) will be coming down from the sky on the fast, keepers.
In the second Ashra (ten days) there will be Magrifat
(forgiveness) and Inam (reward) and bestowing (Bakshis) and
also, in every minute, many hundred thousand Muslim persons
will be granted the approval of the will of Allah. In the third
Ashra (ten days) all those Muslims persons who will observe the
fasting during their lives will be freed from the hell.”
After this Sheikh said “The person who will be pleased with
the commencement of the month of Ramadan and for him Allah
will free him from the grief and increase his blessing always. And
those who become sad upon the end of this month for him Allah
will grant him the pleasure and happiness of the both worlds.”
The Sheikh continued his discussion further and he told “ The
reward of observation of fast of Ramadan is written as the equal
worship of 1000 years. And as per this calculation, the sins will
be also forgiven by Allah.”
The night of Power (Shabe Qadar)

This night is available in the last Ashra (ten days) days of the
month of Ramadan. So the man should be careful during this
period and he should avail and get the full benefits of the night of
power.
307
After this Sheikh said “ For the people of innermost every

night is the night of power. And on this day, all Nemats (graces)
were available to them which are only available to the general
persons in the night of power. But it is good that its importance
should be specially taken care in this matter.”
The Sheikh continued his discussion further and he said “
During the month of Ramadan the practice of spiritual masters
was that they used to hear one Quran in the Taraweeh (special
night prayers in the month of Ramazan) prayer. And Khaja
Haruni used to hear two Quran. After this Sheikh said “ Once he
was travelling towards the western side and the month of
Ramadan was started and he was staying in the mosque of Imam
Had’dadi. There lived one great and the famous pious person was
there and his name was Sheikh Abdullah Mohammed Ba-Farzi
and he was the Imam (leader) of that mosque. He used to recite
every night, three Quran and 8 parts of the Quran during
Tarawih (special night prayers in Ramazan) prayers. So I was able
to get too much reward of hearing of the Quran during the month
of Ramadan there. At the time of leaving the meeting he said “ In
this way and by this method of the hard work and endeavour and
the task should be done. The people of pure and pious persons
say “ This way cannot be covered without the endeavours.”
The Sheikh said “ Khaja Ba-Yazid Bustami worshipped Allah
for a period of 70 years. He used to live for many days without
water and food. Due to his too much hardship and difficulties than
he was able to get presence himself in the court of Allah. When he
got presence there, then he heard a divine call in which it was
heard “ Still Aliash (filth) of the world is available to him. If it is
not removed from him, then he cannot move further.” So he said
“Oh : my Lord now he was not having anything to him.” And he
was received replying “ To see his dress and the water pot.” Then
Ba-Yazid Bustami removed the above things and he was getting
permission . Upon explaining up to here Sheikh began weeping
and said “ Sheikh Ba-Yazid was stopped there due to his dress
308
and water pot. So the persons who are involved in many matters
of the world and so then what they should can keep hope in this
matter?.”
After this Sheikh said “ This is the holy month of Ramadan and
he will complete one Quran in Taraweeh (special night prayers in
the month of Ramadan) prayer every night. Is any body is there
who will share with him.? So all people accepted his suggestion
and put their heads on the ground and they said it is their great
pleasure in this matter. The Sheikh has completed the recitation of
four Quran in one night. In every Rakat (one rakat = one set of
standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) he was recited 10
parts of the Quran. The only short portion of the night was left
due to this reason of lengthy recitation of the holy Quran. I was
also presented during the Taraweeh (special night prayers in the
month of Ramadan) prayers during that month of Ramadan.
The Revelation and miracles
After this, the discussion was started about revelation and

miracles. Once myself and Sheikh Jamaluddin resident of Awuch
were together at one place. Sheikh Jamaluddin was a man of
powerful miracles and the holder of the grace with him and one
day I was sitting with him. Some dauntless (Qalendara) persons
come there with the holding of iron rods on their waists with
them and they come there and said Salam to Sheikh and sat down
there. Among Qalander persons all were not having wisdom and
intelligence with them and in those days in the public kitchen of
the shrine building by chance the curd was not
available. The Qalander persons were asked for the curd. The
Sheikh saw me and I also look at Sheikh so that there should be
something done in this matter. There was a river near the shrine
building. The Sheikh told Qalenders if they require the curd,
then should go into the river and they can eat as much as they can
eat curd from there. The Qalander thought this thing very
309
difficult for them, but by unwillingly they stood and they reached
near the river water. Upon looking there, they find all was the
curd in the river which was available everywhere. So they eat full
of their stomach. Upon this Sheikh Jamaluddin said “ The
Darwish persons should go inside of the shrine building and they
should take rest there.”
In this connection he told “One pious person told the story that
in the presence of Sheikh Jamaluddin one man come over there
from performing the Hajj and upon kissing the ground due to the
respect of Sheikh he continued his conversation that he was seen
him in the circumambulation of Holy Ka’aba during Hajj
pilgrimage season. So Sheikh was upset and angry in this matter
and he said him, “ Oh: foolish, does not disclose the matters of
Fakirs (Darwish) and be silent in this matter. The persons of Allah
used to live in Kamli (blanket) and what is this great thing.? In
his presence the Ka’aba is available. If he wants, he can visit
from the East to West within time off in the twinkling of an eye.”
The Sheikh caught the hand of that person and said him “ To
close his eyes and that person closed his eyes and he saw Sheikh
was on the mountain of Qaf (Caucasus a legendary abode of the
fairies) with one angel who was Mu’wakkil (guardian) of that
place. And after some time, they come back to the place. Then
that person accepted the status and position of pious personalities.
He left the place while saying “ It is right that the position and
status of friends of Allah will not be known to anybody except
Allah.”
After this Sheikh of Islam said “Nobody wasn't seen Sheikh
Jamaluddin during the prayer time. When the time of prayer
comes he used to vanish from there. At last, the secret was known
that he used to perform his prayers in the holy Ka’aba (grand
mosque) in Makkah.”
During the discussion one old Jogi (Hindu ascetic) who was
doing many endeavours was coming there from a long distance in
the presence of Sheikh and upon visiting him there was very
310
much fear of Sheikh on him so he was let down his head there.
So Sheikh looked at him and he told him in the loud voice “ Lift
your head” then he lifted his head and stood there with the
folding of his hands. The Shaikh of Islam asked him from where
he was coming there and what is his condition.? Due to fear
Hindu ascetic (Jogi) could not reply in this matter. So Sheikh
repeated his words, but he could not reply. Upon asking three
times, he said slowly, “ Your honour he could not talk in front
of him”. Upon this Sheikh of Islam told me, “ This Jogi (Hindu
ascetic) come here with many big challenges, but when he put his
head down on the earth then I thought in my mind that the earth
should catch his head. So it happened like that. He tried to lift his
head from there, but he could not rise from there. If he will not
regret from his arrogance and pride, then he was left there until
the day of judgement.”
Then Sheikh looked at the Jogi (Hindu ascetic) and asked him
about his work. The Jogi said, “ We have obtained the perfection
in the work of flying in the air and he have got this thing.” The
Sheikh told him to fly in the air so that we can watch the game.”
Upon flying of Jogi (Hindu ascetic) Sheikh gave the signal to his
wooden sandals to fly in the air by the order of Allah and beat on
the head of Jogi (Hindu ascetic). So the Jogi (Hindu ascetic) was
upset with this matter and come down on the earth and accepted
that when the position and status of sandals are so great then who
will equal his position with the status of Sheikh so he was
accepted the religion of Islam and its truth.”
In his new way of life Jogi (Hindu ascetic) said “ In the world
all kinds of good and bad nature children are born to the parents.
This will happen due to knowing or not knowing the rules and
regulation of the intercourse by the parents.” This is a lengthy
and detailed discussion. One day I asked Sheikh his explanation
in this matter. So Sheikh smiled in this matter and said: “
Moulana Nizamuddin well you have learnt all the details in this
matter but all things are no useful for you so leave these things.”
311
At that time, some Darwesh persons with the wearing of the

wool caps come there from Palestine and put their heads down
there for the respect of the Sheikh. The Sheikh told them to sit
and they sat there. There was one pious person who was watching
Sheikh many times and putting his head down there. At last, he
could not control himself and he was standing there and put his
head on the feet of the Sheikh and he said “ Oh: master
(Maqdoum) he has seen him in the Palestine mosque in
sweeping work there. The Sheikh told him “ You are right, but do
you know the promise or you have forgotten your promise in this
matter.? So you should not disclose this secret. So that Darwish
was regretted very much that he was making a big mistake in this
matter. When he felt very much regret and weeping for his
mistake, then Sheikh said “ My dear, where the pious
personalities of Allah sit,there will be available the holy Ka’aba,
Arash (throne of Allah ) and the chair of Allah and also whatever
the things which Allah was created can be seen by them.” Then he
asked them to close their eyes and again asked them to open the
eyes and they made a slogan and were become unconscious.
After passing of sometime when they become conscious and they
said actually Sheikh was showing us all things which he was
discussed with us. The Sheikh awarded the caps and granted them
caliphate of Suwastan and given them permission to leave from
there. After that, it was known by the travelers that Sheikh was
used to visiting the mosque in Palestine daily and was used to do
the work of sweeping there. Upon this discussion Sheikh said “He
was standing for a period of 20 years in the condition of thinking.
And due to standing for a period of 20 years and, for this reason,
the blood was reached in the legs and it was discharged from
there. During that period, he was promised not to give cold
water and a loaf of bread for the soul.” When this discussion was
in progress one Derwish person came there and his name was
Shahabuddin Ghaznavi who was a disciple of Sheikh and he was
coming there and he was kissing the earth and sat there. Who was
312
brought 100 Dinars from the ruler of Lahore for Sheikh? So

Sheikh asked him soon to give the gold coins. The Darwish gave
him only 50 Dinars to Sheikh. So Sheikh smiled and said
“Shahab, well you have made the brotherly distribution of the
amount. But Darwish should not do like this. So the Darwesh
person was regretted in this matter and gave him balance 50
Dinars immediately. The Sheikh said, “ If he would not have
warned him, then he will be away from the right path and never
reach to the final destination.” Upon saying this Sheikh gave him
back 100 Dinars and asked him to renew his pledge to him
because there was a problem in the first pledge. Upon his second
pledge, Sheikh asked him to leave the place. If he wants to give
cap to anybody then he can give him and now here his work is
over so he can leave this place.
The 25th Shawwal of 655 Hegira year
Alam of Alwai (heaven) and Alam of Safli (world)
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Sheikh

Jamaludin Hansavi, Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi, Moulana
Baderuddin Ishaque and other pious personalities and pure
persons were present there in the presence of Sheikh. After this
one Jogi (Hindu ascetic) come there so I asked him what is a real
affair in his religion.?. He said “There are two worlds which are
accepted by them and which are mentioned as follows.
1.Alam Alwai (paradise)
2.Alam Safli (world)
From the forehead to the navel (Naf) is belongs to Alam
Alwai (paradise) and from the navel (Naf) to leg belongs to Alam
Safli (world).” Upon hearing this Sheikh of Islam said “ He is
speaking rightly, but care to should be taken for the following
things which are necessary and must in the Alam Alwai
(paradise).
313
1.Truth and Safa (purity)

2.Good manners
3.Good dealings
In the Alam Safli (world) the care and control should be
taken for the following things.
1.Piety
2.Cleanliness
3.Care of Zahed (asceticism)
Then Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said “ He liked
his discussion very much.”
Then he said “ Those who will claim the friendship and love
of Allah and also if he will have the love of the world, then in this
case he is a liar and false person.”
After this Sheikh said “ In the book of history Qazi
Hameeduddin wrote there are three times when the mercy of
Allah will be sent down to the world.
1.At that time of the ecstasy (Sama).
2.At the time of eating of the food for the purpose of getting
energy and power for the obedience.
3. At the time of the cleansing of the hearts of the Darwesh
persons.
During this discussion, six or seven young and old Darwesh
persons of grace and who belongs to the linage of the Chist
come there and they said: “ There is a reality among them to so
please ask some of your friends to hear the details on this matter
for the sake of Allah.” The Sheikh of Islam allotted me this work
and Maulana Badruddin Ishaque was also asked to assist me in
this matter. So we have obeyed the instruction of the Sheikh. At
the time of the statement they used such words of respect and
honour and for this reason on me and on Badruddin Ishaq there
was lamentation which was prevailed upon us due to the good
speech of the persons so there come thinking in our minds that
these are angels sent down by Allah who come there to teach us
for the settlement of disputes and problems. When Sheikh of
314
Islam comes to know the details in this matter, then he began

weeping and he said “Yes” there should be nothing revealed
from the dead body, it means there will be no reveal of the effect
of the anger.”
After this, in this connection, Sheikh said “ When who will
eat his food, then it is compulsory for him to observe obedience
so that the food will become part of the worship. The Fakir
(Darwish) should eat as per the desire of the soul.” The Sheikh
said “ As per reference from the book Rahatal Arwah in which it
was written that one Darwesh was made one monastery there and
he was living in it for many years there. One another Darwesh
come there and he lived on the other side of the river. When the
first Darwish's food was ready, then he called his wife and his
children and told his wife to go and give the food to that Darwesh.
So the woman told him how she can go there as there is no boat in
the river. He said “ When you reach on the bank of the river and
say “ Oh: river of the venerable to give her the way for the sake
of that Darwish who did not do even one-time intercourse with
her during a period of 30 years.” And in this way, you will get
away on the river.” Upon hearing these words she was surprised
as she had many children from him but what he is saying on this
matter but she was silent at that time and went to the bank of the
river and she was repeated the words and she found the way in the
river and she was reached near the Darwesh person and said
Salam to him gave him the food which she was brought for him.
That Darwesh eats the food and asked the women to leave the
place. So she was surprised how she should go back to her place.
So the Dervish asked her how she was coming there.? The women
told him that “ Her husband was instructed in this matter and she
followed his instruction and she come there.” The Dervish asked
her that she should say “ Oh: river of the venerable now to give
way for the sake of that Darwish, who did not eat food for a
period of 30 years.” In this way, the woman found the way to the
river and reached back at the place of her husband. She asked
315
him to explain the secret in this matter. He said “ He and that

Darwish person said correctly in this matter. Since for a period of
30 years, he could not intercourse with her as per the desire of his
soul, but he did intercourse as per her rights only. And that
Darwish did not eat food unless there will determine in his mind
that with the food there will be a source of the power and energy
for the worship.”
After this discussion was started about Hazrat Abdulla Ben
Masood that his height was small. The last prophet of Allah said
about him that “ He is the purse of the knowledge.”
With this, it is known that his height was small. In this connection
Sheikh said “One day he was presented with the Sheikh Bakhtiar
Kaki and at that time one person whose name was Rais and who
was his fellow disciple (Ham-Qirqa) and he came there and
kissed the earth and said “ Tonight he was seeing in his dream one
dome (Quba) and around which a large number of persons were
coming and going from there. He was asked who is there in that
Quba (dome)?.” And it was said that in that Quba (dome) the
Allah’s last prophet is resting there. The person who is coming
and going from that Quba is Abdullah Ben Masood. He was
proceeded further and was asked Abdullah Ben Masood to go
into the presence of the prophet and convey his wish so that he
could be able to kiss his holy foot and to visit him. He went inside
the Quba (dome) and come back from there and told him “ The
prophet says he do not have capacity in this matter. But he should
go and see Bakhtiar Kaki and convey his Salam and give his
message that he is used to receiving his presents every night but
for tonight he could not receive it ”
Again Sheikh of Islam said “At the time of sleeping Khaja
Bakhtiar Kaki used to send 3000 Darud (blessing) on the prophet
of Allah then he used to sleep in the nights. The Sheikh then
explained the details of the endeavours of Sheikh Bakhtiar Kaki
that he could not sleep for a period of 20 years in the worship of
316
Allah and did not touch his body with the earthly soil. The
Sheikh said, “ The sleep is illegal for a Darwesh person.”
One day Shams Dabir come there with a copy of book Mufasil
and asked his permission to read it and Sheikh asked him to sit
and read the book. Shams Dabir began reading it and Sheikh
began to explain its meaning and at some places he has corrected
its details which were written in the book. Due to this kindness of
Sheikh, Shams Dabir was very happy in this matter and Sheikh
Islam asked him what is your requirement? And he said “ His
mother, who is very old and weak and he is taking care of her and
facing financial problem.” So Sheikh asked him “ To go and bring
the amount of thanks and he left from the place and at that time
he was brought 50 Chital coins with him there and Sheikh asked
him to distribute among all persons. Somebody got one and some
person was getting two Chital and Sheikh gave me four Chital
by his hand to me. After this Sheikh recited the verse (Sura)
Fatiha from Quran. After this event, there was great progress and
development with Shams Dabir and in a few days he was become
the advisor of Sultan Ghyasuddin Balbon of Delhi Kingdom and
in his house, there were too many new and great changes were
coming over there.
The 15th Shawwal 655 Hijira year
The Darweshi (mysticism) and estate (Jagir)
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and

Sheikh of Islam was sitting there and the ruler of Ayodhan was
sent the title deed of estate of two villages and 200 silver Tinka
with his employees and he asked them to present these things in
the service of Sheikh and Sheikh asked the employees to sit there
so they all sat there and presented all things in the service of
Sheikh and Sheikh of Islam smiled and told them that “ Till date
317
he did not accept all these things and also it was not the practice
of our Sufi masters ( Khajagan) who were passed away from the
world. So take back all these things as there are many other
people are there who are in need of all these things so give
them.”
After this Sheikh of Islam told one story which is connected
with the above event. “ Once Sultan Mahmood was sent through
Ghasasuddin Balbon the title deed of the estate of four villages
and along with the money to him in Multan. The title deed of the
estate of four villages sent for him and the money was sent for the
expenditure of the Darwesh persons there. But he refused to
accept the same.” Upon saying this Sheikh of Islam began
weeping and he said: “ When we accept all these things, then who
will tell them as the Darwesh persons and then we will be
included among the people of the wealth.” Then he told the
employees of the ruler of Ayodhan to take back all these things
and give to some other needy persons.
After this Sheikh told “He was present in the service of Sheikh
Bakhtiar Kaki then the minister Shamsuddin Anarallah Burhana
come there with army of the king and he said “ The Sultan was
sent title deed of an estate of 6 villages and some other things as
presents in your service “ and Sheikh was smiling and said “ If
our Sufi masters (Khajagan) were accepted all these things then
there was no objection from our side. But they did not follow this
custom in this matter so we will not go against their customs and
tradition, then how we will face them on the day of the
judgement?.”
The Good manners
After this the discussion continued further about the Hadith
(sayings of the prophet) from the book Musharaq al-Anwar and
he said all Hadiths (sayings of the prophet) which are recorded
in this book are true. One pious person reported one reference
from Moulana Raziuddin that when he will face any difficulty
about any Hadith (saying of the holy prophet) and in that case if
318
he will face any problem with the people, then he will use to see
the prophet in the dream and then he will use to make
corrections if any in that Hadith (saying of the prophet). After this
Sheikh said, “ Allah’s last prophet once want to pray, but at that
time nobody was not there except Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas. So
prophet caught his hand and brought him in line with him. But
when the prayer was started Abdullah bin Abbas went on his
backside due to his respect and honour. The prophet was broken,
his intention of the prayer and took him in line with him. But he
again went back side of the prophet of Allah. This event
happened three or four times. At the last prophet of Allah asked
Abdullah bin Abbas, why he went in the backside of him.? So he
said, “ What is his ability that he should stand with the prophet of
Allah?.” The prophet liked his too much manner of the respect
and honour and he was praying in his favour which is as follows
“ Oh: Allah to allow him the wisdom of the religion.”
The revelation and miracles
After the above topic the discussion about this revelation and
miracles was started. He said “ The miracles should not be
revealed and this is the work of persons as per courage with
them. The great Mashaiq (learned persons) persons were not
given importance to this. So it is compulsory for one who knows
this so, then he should think as it is nothing in this matter and
Sheikh said “ One day Khaja Hasan Noori went at the bank of the
Tigris (Dajla) river. One fisherman was set, his net there. Khaja
Hasan Nori said, “ If there is a miracle to him then, this time,
there will be the catch of fish of 100 kilograms in weight.” The
news of this event was known to Junaid of Baghdad. So he said, “
If possible there will be the catch of the snake in the net and who
will bite him so that he will be killed there and he will be
martyred in this way.” Now nobody knows what was happening
to Khaja Hasan Noori in this matter.? In this connection, Sheikh
319
continued the discussion further and he said: “ Sheikh Saduddin

Hamuya says to disclose the miracle is like to leave obligation.”
On this subject, Shaikh said, “Brother Saduddin says the ruler of
his city did not have a devotion to him. One day he was passed
from his door. He sends a messenger to his house and asked him
to bring the Sufi person out of his house so that he can see him.
The messenger comes into his house and he explained all matter
to him. But he was not given any importance in this matter and
continued his worship. So for this reason, the messenger went
back to the ruler and told him all details. So the ruler comes inside
of his house and saw him. When he saw this he was standing there
and welcome him and, at last, both of them sat in one place. He
asked the servant to bring an apple for him. He cut the apple and
presented to the ruler and he also ate the apple. On the tray, there
was one another big apple was there so the ruler thought that if
the Sheikh has pious of heart then he will present that big apple to
him. Upon this thought in the heart of the ruler then he took the
apple in his hand and told the ruler that once he was in travelling
and in one city he saw many persons were there in one place.
Among those persons, one man was there who was sitting there
and who was watching the show. The showman was given one
ring to one person among the gathering and asked the donkey to
find out the person who is having the ring with him and he was
by covering the donkey's eye with a bandage of cloth so that he
could not able to see anybody. So the donkey began his search by
smell every person and, at last, he went near the person by his
smell, and he was stopped there who was having a ring with him
and he showman was collected ring from him. In short, of
explaining the above story what he wants to say in this matter
that If he would say anything about miracles and revelation then
his status and position will become same of the donkey. If he will
not say in this matter, then you will think this Darwesh do not
have Safa (cleanliness) of the heart. Upon saying this, he put the
big apple before the ruler.”
320
Then Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said “ The pious

persons should used to keep secrets and they did not disclose
themselves and not to show their miracles before anybody. The
Sheikh was saying about these benefits and the prayer call was
heard and Sheikh becomes busy in the prayer and the persons left
The 20th Shawwal 655 Hijira year
The miracles
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Sheikh

Bederudden Ghaznavi and other persons were present at the
meeting place. There was a discussion about the justice of Hazrat
Umar Farooq (R.A.) was in progress and Sheikh said “ When he
become a Muslim, he took the sword with him and took Hazrat
Bilal and asked to go on the top of the minaret and to shout the
prayer call (Azan) from there. ”So the prayer call (Azan) was
performed from there. Due to prayer call (Azan) which caused a
panic (Tehlaka) among non-believers of Makkah and they come
to know that today Hazrat Umar became Muslim. They said that
now it is not possible for them for the success of their planning
and acts.
Then he said that “Once Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab was passing
from one way and one butter milk selling old woman was
weeping there on the way.She told him, “ Whether it is legal in
your ruling period that the earth should drink her buttermilk.?”
So then he said “Oh earth to give back buttermilk of the old
woman otherwise he will beat you with this whip?.” Still, this
matter was being told by him, then all buttermilk was coming out
of the earth at that time and which was collected by the buttermilk
selling woman. Then he said “One time Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab
was sewing his dress in the courtyard and his back was towards
the sun. When there was an effect of the heat of the sunlight, then,
321
he was looking at the sun with a look of anger. There was a

command to the angels to take out light from the sun. When the
light was taken out of the sun so there was prevailed darkness in
the whole world. The prophet due to sadness told that “Perhaps
there was happening the day of resurrection, so for this reason the
light was taken out from the sun. During this time angel Gabriel
came over there and he told the prophet that the day of the
resurrection did not happen. But due to sunlight, there was heat on
the back of Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab so he was looking at the sun
with anger. So from that time we have taken out the light from
the sun. The prophet of Allah called Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab and
recommended for forgiveness in the matter. Hazrat Umar Bin
Qattab told him “ Oh prophet of Allah, I have looked at the sun
with an anger, but now I have forgiven the sun so, then
immediately the light was given back to the sun and it was
becoming bright as before.
Then he said “ once he sent a message to the Qaiser of Rome
that why he did not pay the amount of tribute to Madina.?. He was
excused in this matter and said that if the messengers upon the
visit of Madina if, it is found eligible then he will send the tribute
amount to Madina, otherwise he will not pay the amount of the
tribute. When the messengers of the Qaiser of Rome were reached
to Madina and visited the house of Hazrat Umar Bin Qattab and
they have asked there where he was going.? When they have
reached in the graveyard in which he was stitching his dress there.
They said Salam to him and he was able to know due to purity of
heart and asked of them whether they have brought the amount of
tribute there.?. But they said that “They will not pay the amount.”
There was kept a whip there on the earth and he collected it in his
hand and told them that “Oh messengers I was being defeated the
Qaiser of Rome. So for this reason, due to fear the messengers left
from there.
On the way they came to know that the Qaiser of Rome was
sitting on his throne in his royal court and he was conducting the
322
general court session there, then suddenly the wall of the court of
the king was shattered and one hand with a whip was appearing
there and due to this reason the head of the Qaiser of Rome was
cut and fallen on the floor in the royal court hall. The condition
which was seen by the messengers in Madina was explained in
the Rome so there came the huge amount of tribute to Madina and
there was no limit on it and many thousand infidels person
accepted the religion of the Islam.
The 21st Shawwal of 655 Hijira year
The parting of the world

discussion was in progress about leaving the world and Sheikh
said “ Once one pious person laid his prayer mat on the water and
after prayer, he said, “ Allah’s prophet Khizer (name of a prophet
immortalized by the fountain of life) is committing a mortal sin,
so enable him repentance in this matter.” Prophet Khizer (name
of a prophet immortalized by the fountain) come there
immediately and said him, “ Oh: holy person what he was done
show him? So that he can repent in this matter and ask
forgiveness with Allah.” He said “ He was planted one tree in
such a jungle and he was sitting there under the tree’s shade and
take a rest there. His claim in this matter is that it was done for the
sake of Allah.” So prophet Khizer (A.S.) was accepted his
mistake and repented in this matter.”
Upon this that pious person was told prophet Khizer (A.S.)
about the realities of the leaving of the world “ It should be like
this and he explained further in this matter that he would like this
and if he will be given the world and if there will be promise in
this matter that there will be no accountability with him then he
will not accept this. If he will be asked to accept the world
otherwise he will be put into the hell, then he will prefer the
323
second thing and he will not accept the world. Prophet Khizer
(A.S.) asked what is the reason for such no concern in this
matter.? He said “ In the world there is an anger which was
expressed by Allah. So the thing for which Allah is an enemy to
it, so he also an enemy of it.”
The engrossment in the invocation of Allah (Zikar)
Then the discussion was commenced that in all conditions
Zikar (invocation of Allah) should be continued and Sheikh said
“One person asked with a great pious person that when he will
be engaged in Zikar (invocation of Allah) then he should
remember him there. The Derwish said “ It is a sad time that when
there is the invocation of Allah, then at that time there will be
thought about him.”
The wisdom and knowledge
Then a discussion about the wisdom and knowledge was
started. The book of Mufasil was kept there and Sheikh said “
There are two favours of Allah which were available on the
mankind. One is the manifest (Zaheri) is descending on the
prophets and other is the innermost which is wisdom. Because if
one man who is the learned person, but he does not have
wisdom, then that knowledge which he is having with him is not
at all beneficial to him. In this connection Sheikh said “ He was
seen in the book Asar Taibin in which it was written that
Whatever descending on prophet Adam (A.S.) is the knowledge
of ‫ ٰٓـ‬existing things and‫ َأۡل‬about this it is mentioned in the Quran
‫ُك َّل ُث َع َض َع َل َمۡلَل َك‬ ‫“ َو َع َّل َم َد َم ۡس‬And He taught Adam all the
‫َء ا ٱ َم ٓاَء َه ا َّم َر ُہ ۡم ى ٱ ِٕٮ ِة‬
names, then showed them to the angels (2-31).” Prophet Adam
(A.S.) was surprised to whom he should select. But at last, he has
selected the wisdom and he said with the wisdom there will be
knowledge. In this connection, Sheikh said the story “ There was
an instruction for prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) in the holy book that
the lovers and pious persons should be careful in the four parts of
the day. In the first part, they should do hymn of Allah and
during the prayer time they should be not be careless from
324
beginning to the ending. In the second part, they should think

towards them that in which types of sins in which they are
involved, what is they are eating and in which work they is
engaged. In the third part, they should sit and mingle with their
brother and if he will find his any mistake and did not disclose it
to other people. In the fourth part when not to eat and then do
not sleep and do worship and should do good deeds and do not
mingle in the company of the bad persons. ”
After this Sheikh said “ As per reference from the saying of
Allah’s last prophet that surely the knowledge and wisdom are
interconnected with each other. The knowledge is not separate
from the wisdom or the wisdom is not separate from the
knowledge. So who is superior to the persons.? The persons who
know himself and in this way there is the upper hand of the
wisdom. In this connection Sheikh said “ As per reference from a
book Tuwariq in which Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori wrote there
is a limit to everything and the limit of the worship is wisdom
because without the knowledge there is no use of the worship and
without wisdom the knowledge will become a headache and on
the day of judgement this will be become a matter of objection.
When Imam Abu Hanifa was asked for the reason of solving
1,000 problems from each verse and each Hadith (sayings of the
prophet) of the prophet. Then Imam said, “His wisdom helps him
in this matter.” If the wisdom is not there then he should not solve
any issue of the Islamic law”. Sheikh of Islam said “ The
wisdom is more virtuous than all other things. If there will be
no wisdom, then there will no knowledge of Allah (Marafat).
Upon this discussion, there was shouting of a prayer call (Azan)
so Sheikh began his prayer, and for this reason, I left from the
meeting place.
325
The 25th Zeqada 655 Hijira year
The Knowledge and wisdom
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Then

the discussion about the knowledge and wisdom was started and
Sheikh said “The knowledge is superior and important among all
worships of fast keeping, prayer and Hajj pilgrimage, with Allah.
Upon this Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said “ The
knowledge is that thing which is not known by the person of the
world and asceticism (Zuhad) is such thing which is not known
by the ascetic (Zahed) person and the work is out for two of
them. So that a courageous person should overlook these two
matters.
Then Sheikh told “If the people know the importance of the
knowledge then they will leave all their things and engage in it to
get it and the knowledge is like a cloud which will not descend
other than mercy and those who will share it will be free from the
sins.”
In this connection Sheikh said “ One day he and Jalaluddin
Tabrizi were sitting at one place and we were discussing about
the knowledge is like a pure glass lantern in which there is a
lighted lamp and with its light all of the world of the mankind
(Nasut) and the world of angels (Malakut) are shining so one
who ever will be engaged in the knowledge and, then he will not
face the darkness and in his body there he will be benefitted of
the splendour all worlds will be there.”
In this connection, Sheikh said “ The learned persons are
careless from the knowledge. They have made the world as their
own Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer) and they
are thinking the Islamic law (Shariah) as a play with them. The
sheikh began weeping and he said now there is no remaining of
the power and blessing.
326
Upon this Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said “ In the

book it is mentioned that on the day of the judgement the
reformers and the learned persons those who were used to busy
with the people of the world and who do not have done their
designated work and so for them there will command of Allah to
send them into the hell. The angels of punishments will be given
the command to put chains on the fire upon their necks and to
take them to the hell.
Again Sheikh said “ The persons of knowledge which are
mentioned above are those people with the knowledge who will
show piety and innermost but they did not act upon the
knowledge and while putting up lame excuses and they used to
earn the wealth of the world. After this Sheikh said “ Qazi
Hameeduddin Nagori wrote in his book Rahat al-Arwah that if
the man will not follow the proud of his knowledge and if he will
use it legally then Allah will grant him the right knowledge to
distinguish the following things.
1. Right (Haq) and wrong (Batil)
2. Good and bad
3. Legal (Halal) and illegal (Haram)
Then he said “There are many kinds of the wisdom are there.
But the name of the person of knowledge is entirely attached to
the knowledge. But actually, the learned person (Alim) is such
person who knows the knowledge of the prophet of Allah. The
link of knowledge of the prophet is in the sky. Because Allah will
descend all knowledge through the revelation (Wahi) on the
prophet of Allah.
After this, the discussion was started about Marafat
(knowledge of Allah) and Sheikh said “The man who does not
know himself, then he will be engaged in the lust and greed. So
for this reason, one who will know himself, then he did not love
others and those who have love of Allah, if there will be 10,000
world before him, then he will not look at them. Then Sheikh
327
looked at me and he said “ The people of Marafat (knowledge of

Allah) are such persons when there will come there 100,000
angels like Gabriel, Israfil, Michael, who are trusted angels in the
court of Allah will bring before them from the Arsh (throne of
Allah) to nether regions but they will not take notice of their
presence and then they should not think except the knowledge of
Allah there and also they should not know about their arrival
and departure .If he is against of the above then think him as a
false claimant and he does not belong to the category of the
people of knowledge of Allah.”
In this connection Sheikh said “ One day he was present in the
service of Sheikh Shabuddin Saherwardi and he said “ When
Allah wants to make a person His friend then will open the door
of Zikr (invocation of Allah) for him and allot his place in the
caravan of the fear and surprise and which is a palace of Allah’s
magnificence (Azamat) and majesty (Jalal). In this way every
person will come under the safety and protection of Allah.”
In this connection Sheikh said “ One day he was presence in the
service of Sheikh of Islam Khaja Moinuddin Sanjari and he said “
The people of knowledge of Allah (Marafat) will be available
trust to them and that trust available with a religious sanction
(Alawi) and fondness and when he will attain such status, then
he will not know his own condition and position even if he will be
put in the fire.” Afterward Sheikh said “ The people of the
Maraft (knowledge of Allah) should able to claim of their
position, when should able to get benefit the mankind from the
gains of their Marafat (knowledge of Allah) and to defeat the
persons who claim for the love.”
After, this Sheikh he said “About the details of the daily recital
and practices of Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi. At the time of his
death one disciple was present there who saw Sheikh in the
smiling condition at that time, so he asked with him in this matter
“ Oh : master, he is going to leave the world for ever and there is
no sadness on his face but instead of grief he is smiling at this
328
time. He said “ This is the identity of those persons who know

Allah. ”
Then Sheikh said “ He was heard from the Sheikh of Islam
Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki that to give the water of Fiker (thinking) to
the tree of the wisdom so that it will not dry but there should be
growth and development of it. To give water of ignorance to the
tree of carelessness so that its roots will not develop. The tree of
repentance will grow in the water of regret
(Nidamat) and it will develop well with it. The tree of love will
grow with water of the agreement (Muwaqfat).
In this connection Sheikh said” It is mentioned in the events of
Khaja Moinuddin Sanjari that on the night of his death he was
seen the Allah’s last prophet in his dream many times. The
prophet said, “ Allah’s friend Moinuddin is coming there and we
have arrived to welcome him.” And he was dying and upon his
death it was written on his forehead which is as follows.
“ The friend of Allah died in the love of Allah.”
When the Sheikh’s discussion was reaching up to here, then

there was shouting of prayer call (Azan) and Sheikh started the
prayer so myself and all other persons left from the meeting
place.
The 12th Zeqad 655 Hijira year
The importance of leaving the world
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.

Moulana Baderuddin Ghaznavi, Jamaluddin Hansavi and other
persons were present there in the meeting place. There was a
discussion in progress about leaving the world and Sheikh said
“Since the time of creation of the world by Allah and due to
enmity Allah never looked at it.” And during this time Sheikh
said “ Hazrat Ali Ben Abu Taleb (R.A.) says he has fear from
329
two things. One from the desire of long expectations (Amal).

Second the world and to follow the desires of the soul. Because
the soul keeps the man away from the invocation of Allah and
the desires of long expectations will forget the man from the
other world. The Sheikh said: “ There was a pious person in
Ghazni. He asked with him there is the world which we are
facing on the back side of us and the other world’s mouth is on
our front side so which thing we should like?” And he said “ To
like the other world and try to make it better because on the day
judgement such endeavours will help us. To perform the works
which are possible today and for the tomorrow, there will be no
chance at all for such works ”.
In this connection Sheikh told the following story “ Khaja
Abdullah Sahil Tastri was distributed all wealth and property on
the way of Allah. So the family members were objected to him in
this matter and were asked him to have retained something and
some money for meeting their expenditure. But Khaja told them
“ He do not care in this matter.” In this discussion Sheikh said “
In the book Asra-al Arifin in which it was written by Khaja
Yahia Maaz Razi which he was reading that when the wisdom
will be sent down from the sky and which will not reside in every
heart.The wisdom will be away from the following persons who
are suffering in any one of the following diseases.”
1. The greed of the world
2. Thinking for the tomorrow
3. Jealousy and greed with the Muslims
4. Love for the dignity and status
Then Sheikh said “He was sitting somewhere with brother
Bahuddin Zikeria and there the discussion was started on Zuhad
(asceticism) and he said Zuhad and Darweshi (mysticism) is the
name of three things. If these three things are available there to
any person then the such person will be called ascetic (Zuhad).
1. To know the identification of the world and leave it.
2. To do service of Allah and to bear it in mind.
330
3. To desire the other world and to demand for it.

After this Sheikh said “ As per reference from our Sufi master
Khaja Fazil Ben Ayaz that on the day of judgement the world
will come there with her nice decoration and will say “ Oh: my
Lord make her personality suitable for any of his slaves. ” Upon
this, Allah will tell her, “ He do not like her and also those who
follow you.” At that time, the world becomes shattered into
pieces. Then Sheikh looks at me and said “To leave the world so
that on the day of judgement he will be free from the hell.”
Then he said “ From the presents and from the conquests and
other sources, he used to get huge money and if he will deposit
these amounts then it will become a great treasury but he used to
spend all money on the way Allah.”
In this connection he said “ Khaja Moudoud Chisti was
mentioned one reference from the book Sharah Auliya that all
harm (illegal) and evil things were gathered in one building and
its key is the world. Those people who are wise, and far-sighted
never going near that key and the building. The book of exegesis
of Imam Zahid was kept before Sheikh and in that book there was
one tradition was mentioned and its translation and its
interpretation is as follows.
“ The insignificant persons were becoming successful and get in

the way and the persons with heavy load were killed there.”
After this discussion his saying was started about the
greatness of Allah and Sheikh said “ Allah is venerable from all
things. When all world knows about this thing, then why the
worldly people are away from grace (Nemat) by it. Why the man
will not spend the life in thinking (Fiker) and Zikr (invocation
of Allah) and Sheikh said “ There are such persons are there
when they hear the name of their friend and then they will
sacrifice all their wealth and lives for for him. So as per reference
331
from the book Israr Taibin in which it is mentioned that there

was one Darwish, who was settled down in one house in the
jungle and he used to live there. He was standing there in the
world of thinking (Fiker) for a period of sixty years. There comes
a divine call in which it was heard “ Ya Allah’’. When the
Darwesh heard his friend’s name, then he shouted a slogan and
died immediately there.”
In this connection Sheikh said “ If the person of Saluk
(mystic initiate) is away from the Zikr (invocation of Allah) then
at that time they used to say they are dead persons. If we are
living then Zikr (invocation of Allah) will not be away from us.”
At that time Sheikh said “ In Baghdad there was one pious person
who use to reside there and his daily recital and practice for Zikr
(invocation of Allah) was about 1000 times daily basis. And one
day he could not continue his daily recital and for this reason
there was one divine call in which it was told him that such and
such person was dying. When the people heard this divine call
then they went to see that person at his house and they find the
pious person was living. So they were surprised at this matter and
regretted with him for their misunderstanding. That pious person
smiled and said “ You all right and you have followed the divine
call. As his one day’s daily recital was neglected by him so for
this reason it was announced by the divine authority that he was
dying.”
In this connection Sheikh said “ To have Zikr (invocation of
Allah) on the tongue is the sign of a man of Eman (faith) and it
will keep a man from the hypocrisy (Nefaq) and also it is a like
fortification which keep him away from the Satan and safety
from the fire of the hell.”
After this Sheikh said “ As per reference from the book
Sharah Mashaiq in which it was written that when the Muslim
(Momen) will open the tongue with Zikr (invocation of Allah)
then at that time there will be heard a divine call in which it will
332
be said “ To stand and celebrate it as Allah was forgiven his

sins.”
Then Sheikh said “ When he was in Swistan and he saw a
Darwesh person who standing there in Suker (intoxication)
condition and he never talks except Zikar (invocation of Allah).
So if in Zikar (invocation of Allah) one who will get this felicity
permanently then it is compulsory for him that he should day
and night while sitting, standing and sleeping with ablution or
without ablution in his all conditions except the time of natural
calls and he should not neglect Zikar (invocation of Allah).
In this connection, Sheikh said “ There was one pious person
who used to help the persons to solve the problem in the Hadiths
(sayings of the prophet). One day there was a discussion about the
comb. He said “ To combing is the Sunnah of the practice of the
prophet of Islam, and also, it was the Sunnah of the (practice)
other holy prophets. He said “ One who will comb his beard in the
night, then Allah will not put him in the problem of Faqr
(indigence). There will be a reward of the freeing 1000 slaves in
lieu of each hair of the beard and the equal numbers of his sins
will be decreased. If the people will know the benefits of
combing then they will leave other worships and adopt this
worship.”
Again Sheikh said “ One comb should not be used by the two
persons. And this matter will put differences among these two
persons. Then Sheikh said “ During the time of the prophet one
woman gave the birth of the two babies and who were born
jointly. The relatives of the women were asked the prophet, how
to separate the newly born babies. At that time, the angel Gabriel
came over there and he told “ Oh: prophet of Allah to order them
to comb the babies with one comb, then they will be separated.”
So it was done in this way and in a few days, the babies were
separated.
After this the discussion was started about the congregational
prayer and the Sheikh was given this instruction, strictly “ If
333
there were two persons available then the congregational prayer

should be performed. But there is no instruction about the
congregational prayer of two persons, but there will be a reward
available for it for the congregational prayer.”
After Sheikh told the story “ Once he was travelling towards
Lahore and he has met there one person of grace and he said with
Zikr (invocation of Allah) there will available the following six
things.
1. The person will be reached in such condition in which he will
think that Allah can see his heart.
2. Allah will keep him away from the sins. The person who didn't
leave sins at the time of Zikr (invocation of Allah) then it is a sign
that Allah kept him away from him.
3.The person who will be busy in the Zikr (invocation of Allah)
too much then the friendship of Allah will be firmed in the heart
of that person.
4. The person who does more Zikar (invocation of Allah) then
Allah will keep him as his dear one.
5.With the Zikr (invocation of Allah) one should be free from the
evils of the Jinns.
6. In his grave, Allah will become his friend.
In this connection he said “ No Zikr (invocation of Allah)
is equal to the reading of the holy Quran. So it should read it and
as its reward is more than other worships.
The excellence of Sura (chapter) Mulk
After this Sheikh said “ He was heard with the tongue of the
Sheikh of Islam Bakhtiar Kaki that in the sayings of the prophet
of Allah it is mentioned that the name of Surah (chapter) Mulak
in the Taurah and it is mentioned as Masur and in Persian it is
mentioned as Masura. This verse keeps us from the punishment
of the grave. He said again “ In sayings of the prophet of Allah it
334
is mentioned about Sura (chapter) Yasin that one who reads this
Sura (chapter) then he will get the reward of such a person who
will get the night of power.”
The excellence of Zikr (invocation of Allah)
Then Sheikh said “ There was one pious person in Baghdad

who used to say too much Allah Allah. One day he was passing
on the way. One wooden stick was fallen on his head and his head
was broken and there a was discharged of the blood started from
there. In this matter it is noted to hear that in each and every drop
of blood, which was falling on the ground and from which the
Naqsh (painting) of Allah was formed there. This event is right
because those who will die in such work, then he will face such
result in this matter.”
The excellence of the supplication
After the above topic, the discussion was started about the
prayer (supplication) and the Sheikh said: “ He was reading in the
book Fatwa Kubra in which Abu Harare says “ Lesa Shai Akbar
Enda Laha Min Duwa ( )”. What it
means to Allah, nothing is more important than supplication
(prayer). Then the Sheikh said “ Sheikh of Islam Moinuddin
Sanjari says one tradition from Khaja Usman Haruni that in the
book of Quwat al-Quloob it is mentioned, “ Inal Laha Yahubul
Muslimin Fe Duwa ( ) and its meaning and
interpretation is that Allah keeps Muslims as his friends at the
time of prayer.”
After this the Shaikh said “Once he and brother Bahuddin
Zikeria Multani were in one place and at that time there came one
pious person and the discussion about the supplication was
335
started between three of us. That pious person said if any person
will not take care of the following four things, then Allah will
also keep him away from the following four things.
1. Zakat (religious tax)
2. Sadqa (alms) and sacrifice
3. Salah (prayer)
4. Duwa (supplication)
There will be no wealth due to avoiding of the Zakat
(religious tax).
There will be no comfort due to avoiding of the alms (Sadqa) and
sacrifice.
There will be seized of the faith (Eman) by avoiding the prayer
(Salah) at the time of death.
There will no acceptance of the supplications of Allah one who
avoids of Dua (supplication).
The daily recital (Wazifa) for the safety
After the above topic the Sheikh said “ In Baghdad, one pious
person was kept before the tiger so that it can kill him. But he
was lying there for a period of seven days, but the tiger could not
do any harm to him. His safety was possible with him due to the
keeping of him the great name of Allah which is as follows.
Ya Daim bila fanai wa ya Qaim bila zawal wa ya Amir bila wa

Wazir
Upon this Sheikh began weeping and he said “ His enemy is
his soul of Ammara (one’s baser self) and Iblis Lain (Satan).”
During the period Azan prayer called was heard so the Sheikh
started Salah (prayer) so all others and myself left the meeting
place.
336
The second Zil Hajj 655 Hijira year
The Excellence of acts and recitals of the month of Zil-Hajj

was a discussion about the excellence of the month of Zil-Hajj.
The Sheikh said “ In the Aurad (daily round of prayer formulas)
of Sheikh of Islam Bakhtiar Kaki it is mentioned one tradition of
the prophet with reference from Abu Huraira that to pray Salah
(prayer) of two Rakat (one rakat = one set of standing,
genuflexion and prostration in prayer) in the first night of Zil Hajj.
In the first Rakat after Sura (chapter) Fateha to recite three times
three verses from Sura (chapter) Inam. In the second Rakat after
Sura (chapter) Fateha to recite one time Sura (chapter) Qul or
Sura Karfiroon. For this Allah will order the reward of Hajj and
which will be written in his record of deeds.”
After this Sheikh of Islam said “ One young man was died
who was sinful (Fasiq). Who was a great sinner and bad character
man. So the people began to think about his position in the
darkness of the narrowed grave. In those days he came in the
dream of a pious person. And he was asked how Allah treated
with him.? He replied “ When the people left him after his burial
in the grave, then the angels of the punishment came there with
their things to punish him, but immediately the command of Allah
was received there in which it was told “ We have forgiven and
awarded him the paradise. He is one among of Us”. The angels
stopped their punishment there and they said “ This man was a
great sinner and wrongdoer person. So what good deed he was
done by him for which he was forgiven him and he was awarded
the paradise.” They were received reply “ The reality is the
same which you say, but one year in the first of night of the
month of Zil-Hajj, he was performed Salah of two Rakat (one
rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer)
so for this reason We have forgiven all his sins.”
337
After this, in this connection he said “ As per reference from

Wahab Bin Munba that Allah was sent present to prophet Mosa
(A.S.). The angel Gabriel was brought those present and said to
prophet Mosa (A.S) “ Oh: Mosa the person who will read the
following Kalamat (phrases) during the first ten days in the
month of Zil Hajj then he will be eligible for the following
rewards in this matter.
1. The reward of reading of the holy book Taurah for 12,000
times.
2. The reward of 12,000 deeds will be recorded in his record of
the deeds.
3.12,000 sins will be removed from his record of the deeds.
4.1,000 angels will pray for him.
5. His deeds will be declared as superior deeds of the world.
Then the Sheikh said “ He was seen in the book of Awarif
al-Mawarif which was written by Shaikh of Islam Shahabuddin
Suherwardi as per the reference of Abul Lais Samerqandi that
these phrases (Kalamat) were also sent down in the New
Testament (Injil) and due to its blessing even a blind person can
see the falling of the light from the sky. Upon this Sheikh of
Islam said, “ Those who will pay respect and honour these
phrases, then he can see its effects by the grace of Allah.”
First day
To recite this phrase of declaration of the oneness of Allah

( Kalim-al-Tauhid) one hundred times.
338
“La Ilaha Illallaho Wahdahu la Sharika Lahu Lahul Mulko wa

Lahu Hamdo Yohyi wa Yumito bi Yedihil Khairo wa Huwa ala
Kulle Shai-in-Quadeer.”
(There is no God but Allah; He is One; He has no Partner; His
is the Kingdom (of the whole Universe). To Him is due all Praise;
He gives life and He causes to die. In His Hand is all Good, and
He has Power over all things.)
Second day
To recite this phrase one hundred times.
“ Ash hadu an La Ilaha Illallaho Wahdahu la Sharika Lahu illa

wala waladan.”
Third day
“ Ash hadu an La Ilaha Illallaho Wahdahu la Sharika Lahu ahdan

samadan alam yalid yalam yulad walam yakun lahu kufan ahad.”
Fourth day

339
“ Ash hadu an La Ilaha Illallaho Wahdahu la Sharika Lahu lahu

mulku walahal hamdu Yohyi wa Yumito wahu haiyu la yumito
bidhial khair wahu ala kuli shain qadir.”
Fifth day
“ Hasbi Allahu wa kafa wa samah allahu liman duwa wa laisa

waru al-munthahu subhana man lum yazilla kariman wala mizalu
rahima.”
On the sixth day repeat the phrase of the first day and on the
seventh day repeat the phrase of the second day. On the eight
day repeat the phrase of the third day and on the 9th day repeat
the phrase of the fourth day and on the tenth day repeat the
phrase of the fifth day.
Then the Sheikh said “ During the first ten days of the month of
Zil Hajj to pray two Rakat (one rakat = one set of standing,
genuflexion and prostration in prayer) of Nafïl (supererogatory
prayer) after Witar (Some of Hanafis even thought it was
obligatory) prayer before sleeping and in each Rakat to recite
first Sura (chapter) al-Hamad and then Sura (chapter) Inna Atanak
one time, then Allah will give him such a reward which Allah
knows well and that person will not die unless he will not see his
place in the paradise before his death.”
340
After this, on this topic the Sheikh of Islam continued his

discussion further that upon seeing Sheikh Saaduddin Hamuya in
his dream and he asked him “ How Allah was treated by him? He
said “ Allah was forgiven him and for each and every obedience
he was rewarded him as per its value, but the reward of two Rakat
of supererogatory prayer which he was used to pray for the first
ten days during the month of Zil Hajj was finding its grant and
reward very much and its value is not able to assess.”
After that the Sheikh said “ In the first ten days in which
Thursday and Friday are included so, on these two days to pray
supererogatory Salah (prayer) of six Rakat and in every Rakat
recite 15 times Sura (chapter) Iqlas after Sura (chapter) al-
Hamad. After the prayer recite Darud (blessing of the prophet)
and recite the following supplication.
“ La Ilaha Illallaho Mulk Haqul Mubin”, and for this Allah

will reward him very much and its value is not able to assess and
its certain value of description is mentioned as follows.
1.The Thawab (reward) of 24,000 prophets.
2.Till the end of next year, no sin will not be recorded in his
record of the deeds.
After this Sheikh said “Among his friends there was one person
who was a pious person and great worshipper and he was among
the persons of grace and who used to pray this Salah (prayer).
Upon his death, I asked him “ How Allah treated with him.?
Then he said that “ He was seen in the Aurad (daily round of
prayer formulas) of Sheikh Moinuddin Sanjari that as per saying
of the prophet one who will read the Sura (chapter) al-Fajar
during the first ten days of the month of Zil Hajj then Allah will
protect him from the fire of the hell.”
In this connection, the Sheikh said “ Upon the death of Sheikh
of Islam Khaja Moinuddin Sanjari was seen in the dream and in
341
which he was, said “ The following procedures were completed

well by the grace of Allah.
1.Death
2.Grave
3.Munkir and Nakir (names of two angels cross-questioning the
dead in the grave)
When he was reached under the Arsh (throne) and he went
down in the prostration there and he was heard a divine call in
which it was said “ Moinuddin raised his head and explain why he
is so afraid.? “ He replied, “ Due to His fear of willy-nilly as He
is The Compeller (Al-Jabbar) and The Dominant (Al-Qahrar).”
And he heard a divine call again in which it was said “ One who
will busy in Our work then We will also busy in the work for
him.Those who used to read Sura (chapter) al-Fajr in the month of
Zil-Hajj then he should be not worrying with fear and anxiety.
Go, you are forgiven ”
After this Sheikh said “ The prophet said one who will pray six
Rakat (one Rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and
prostration in prayer) of supererogatory prayer in the following
method, then he will get such a reward for which even the all
mankind will try together to describe its value but it will not be
possible for them in this matter.”
1.In the first Rakat after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad recites one
time Sura (chapter) Ayat al-Kursri.
2. In the second Rakat recite one, time Sura (chapter) Lelalaf.
3. In the third Rakat recite one time Sura (chapter) Iqlas.
4. In the third Rakat recite one time Sura (chapter) Izaja.
After this Sheikh said “ One who will pray two Rakats during
the night of Arfa (major Hajj day) of Zil Hajj month with 100
times Sura (chapter) Ayat al-Kursi after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad
then Allah will recompense him the Thawab (reward) of 1000
Hajjs.”
After this the Sheikh said “ Once he was Mutakaf (secluding
oneself for prayers) in the mausoleum of Sheikh of Islam Khaja
342
Moinuddin Sanjari and at that time the month of Zil Hajj was
started. On the night of Arafa (major Hajj day) he was praying
and sat near the mausoleum and commenced reading of the holy
book Quran. Some portion of the night was passed. He was
reached reading the 15th part of the book, but due to a mistake in
reading the Quran, he could not read any Huraf (letter of the
alphabet) of Sura (chapter) of Mariam or Sura (chapter) Kahaf by
his tongue. So there was a call from the mausoleum of the
master (Maqdum) to read the missing Huraf (letter of the
alphabet) so he was reading the same. And he was heard a call
again in which it was said “ He is well reading the holy book
Quran and the son of Khalaf (successor) should possess such
quality with him.” When reading the whole book of Quran was
completed, then he was put his head over the footed side of the
grave and began weeping and he said “ He do not know in which
group his name will be added.?” And he was a hearing, call in
which it said “ Moulana one who will pray the above prayer,
then surely he will belong to the people of the paradise.” So I
kissed the grave and thought I, have posses something so I was
satisfied in this matter.
After this Sheikh said “ One who will pray of four Rakat of
supererogatory prayer (one Rakat = one set of standing,
genuflexion and prostration in prayer) on the day of Arafa (major
Hajj day) during Zuhar (after noon) prayer and Asar (evening)
prayer time and he should recite 50 times Sura (chapter) Iqlas
after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad then his supplication will be
accepted by Allah.”
After this Sheikh said “ To recite this supplication, one hundred

times.
343
“ Bismillahu masha allahu la yuwait khair illa masha allah kahir

kullahu be yadi llahi bis millahi masha allah la ya yasrafu alsua
illahu bimilla masaha allah ma bina min nemate famin laha bis
milah masha allah lahul quwata illa billa.”
In this, matter, there is available one reference in which it is
mentioned that Allah’s last prophet said “One who will recite
these phrases before the sun sets time, then Allah will address
that person and say “Oh My person he made Him happy so he
can ask whatever need from Him”. The person who recited these
phrases during the time of sleeping and at the time of waking up,
then he will be free from the Satan and all calamities will be away
from him.”
After this Sheikh said “To pray Salah (prayer) of 12 Rakat (one
Rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and prostration in
prayer) in the night of the Eid al-Azha. In every Rakat recite five
times Sura (chapter) Iqlas after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad and for
which there is a great reward from Allah for him.
After this, the Sheikh said “After the sermon of Eid al
Azha one should pray Salah (prayer) as follows. In the first Rakat
recite Sura (chapter) Alam Nashara one time after Sura (chapter)
al-Hamad. In the second Rakat recite Sura (chapter) Al-Murasalt
one time after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad. In the third Rakat recite
Sura (chapter) al-Zuha one time after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad. In
the fourth Rakat recite Sura (chapter) Iqlas one time after Sura
(chapter) al-Hamad.
Then Sheikh said “ In Auward (daily round of prayer
formulas) of Sheikh of Islam it is available one tradition of the
prophet, which says “ One who will return back to his house from
Eid al-Azha prayer then he should pray two Rakat of prayer as
follows.
344
In every Rakat, he should recite five times Sura (chapter)

al-Mursalat after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad. For this, he will get of
Thawab (reward) of the following things.
1.Hajj.
2.Umra.
3.The supplication of the prayer during circumambulation.
4.There will be an increase in his wealth.
After this Sheikh said “ He was seen in Aurad (daily round of
prayer formulas) of the Sheikh Usman Haruni in which it was
written that one who will read the following supplication on the
last day of the month of Zil-Hajj, which is also the last day of the
year then he will be under the safety and protection of Allah.”
Bismilla ar rahman nir rahim

“Allahuma ma amalatu min amli fi haza sunatehe mimma anhu
walam tarzahu wa nasiyatu walam tansau wa hamilat anni ba‘da
qudratak ala uqubati wa dawatni ela tauba ba hawali ela alaik
alahumma inni fastaqferak fiha ya ghafur faghferli wama amilatu
min amalin tarzahu anni wa wadatni thawab fataqbal minni wala
taqtawu rajai ya azeem ur reja. Allahunna arzaqtani khair hazihe
sunate wama feha be rahamatika ya arharmur rahamin.”
The Sheikh said “ Brother Sheikh Bahuddin Zikeria Multani

who was reported one tradition of the holy prophet of Allah and
345
said “ Those who will pray two Rakat (one Rakat = one set of
standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) of Salah (prayer)
at the end month of Zil Hajj and should recite some portion from
the holy Quran after Sura (chapter) al-Hamad and after
completion of the prayer if he read the above supplication then
Allah will forgive his sins of one year and also forgiven him. At
that time, Azan (prayer call) was started so the Sheikh
commenced his prayer so myself and all other persons left from
the meeting place.
The 7th Zil Haj 655 Hijira year
The Religion of Imam Abu Hanifa

was a discussion about the religion and the Sheikh was started his
discussion on this matter, he said “ According to ranking and
position the details of the religions are as follows.
1.The religion of Imam Abu Hanifa
2.The religion of Imam Shafei
3.The religion of Imam Malik
4.The religion of Imam Hanbal
It is noted that the people should not have kept on doubts in
this matter. But they should think that the religion of Imam Abu
Hanifa is superior and other religion’s position is after this
religion. So his religion is best among all other religions.
The Sheikh said “ In the book Fatwa Zaheeri the writer was
mentioned in its last chapter about this event that “ When Imam
Abu Hanifa was performing his last Hajj then he thought that he
will not visit this place again. So he was requested the servants of
the holy Ka’ba in Makkah to open the doors so that he should go
inside of the Holy Kaaba and perform the worship of Allah for
one night there. The servants replied him “This will be the new
346
thing there and nobody, has not done this act before him. But due
to his higher knowledge and his excellence as all the world will
follow him so for this purpose his desire will be fulfilled. ” So
for this reason the Imam Saheb was allowed to enter into holy
Ka’ba. Imam Saheb and his friends stood inside and did intention
of two Rakat (one Rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and
prostration in prayer) of prayer and put the left leg on the right
leg and was completed half portion of the Quran and then Imam
Saheb put the right leg on the left leg and was completed other
half portion of the Quran there. After the prayer, he was starting
his supplication which is as follows.
“ Oh : Lord of the worlds, the rights of His worship he could
not fulfil. Also, he could not recognize Him well as per its
requirements. So overlook this humble person’s defect in the
service.” There was a divine call in which it said “ Oh : Abu
Hanifa he was recognized as well and he was made very much
Our service. We forgive him and all persons who will follow him
until the day of judgment.” Upon saying all these details the
Sheikh of Islam said “ Due to the grace of Allah he is also a
follower Imam Abu Hanifa.”
Then the Sheikh said “ Imam Ismail Bukhari says as per
correct tradition that he was seen Mohammed Bin Hasan Shebani
in his dream and was asked of him how Allah was treated with
him.? And Imam Mohammed said “ Allah forgave him by saying
that if He want, then He would punish him?. If in case he will not
explain of the knowledge so he was forgiven.” Imam Bukhari
asked him where is Imam Abu Hanifa?. He said “ He was
reaching to the lofty station in the other world.”
Then the discussion started about the difference in the
religions and which is religion is better than others.? The Sheikh
was began weeping and said “ He could not say the name of the
great Imam due to his greatness and his piousness. When his one
disciple Imam Shebani used to climb over a camel, then Imam
Shafei will act as the rider’s attendant. From this event the
347
difference of religion is clear that Imam Shafei was a disciple of

Imam Shebani and who was a disciple of Imam Abu Hanifa.”
Then Sheikh said “ Hameeduddin Nagori and Sheikh Bakhtiar
Kaki, Sheikh Jamal Tabrazi, Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi were
sitting in Mutakaf (retirement to mosque for continued prayer) in
Jamia (grand) mosque of Delhi. All of them determined to
complete the daily recitation of two Quran. One night they
decided to worship by standing on one leg and it means in the
two Rakat of prayer, they will reach the day time and all of them
were agreed in this matter. Qazi Hameeduddin acted Imam
(leader) of the prayer and others became his followers. In the first
Rakat (one Rrakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and
prostration in prayer) Qazi Hameedudin recited one Quran and
four parts of it and in the second Rakat he recited one Quran and
completed the prayer and he said in his supplication which is as
follows.”
“ Oh: Allah we have not done His worship as per its
requirements. But for the sake of His mercy forgive all of us.”.
They heard a divine call in which it was called “ All of you were
forgiven and your wishes will be fulfilled.” After this event, all of
the above pious persons left from that place.
The geological record of the religion
After this, the Sheikh said “ As the disciple should know the
genealogical record of the spiritual master in the same way he
should also know the genealogical record of the religion as its
connection which will reach to Allah and the details are as
follows.
The Sheikh of Islam said “ If somebody will ask about your
religion, then you reply him that you belong to a religion of
Imam Abu Hanifa Kufi. The other details of this geological
record of the religion are as shown as follows.
348
Imam Abu Hanifa who was the follower of the religion of

Imam Ibrahim Alqama and who was the follower of the religion
of Imam Ibrahim Najfi and who was the follower of the
religion of Abullah bin Masood and who was the follower of the
religion of prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) and who
was the follower of the religion of prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and
who was the follower of the religion of prophet Noah (A.S.) and
who was the follower of the religion of Prophet Shees (A.S.)
and who was the follower of the religion of the Prophet Adam
(A.S.) and who was the follower religion of angel Gabriel and
who was the follower of the religion of angel Michael and who
was follower of the religion of angel Israfiil and who was the
follower of the religion of angel Izrael and who was the
follower of the religion of Allah and about further of it nobody
knows this knowledge except Allah.
The supplication of Masura
After this, the discussion about the supplication of Masura (The

holy prophet’s prayer) and verses of the Quran was started. The
Sheikh said with his holy tongue “ Everybody should not be
away from supplications and recitation of Quranic verses.
Tahjud (supererogatory prayer) prayer
Then Sheikh said “ The Tahjud prayer (supererogatory

prayer in the early hours of the morning) was Fard (obligatory)
for the prophet and it is Sunah (tradition of the prophet) for other
Muslim persons). It is the name of the prayer of eight Rakat (one
prayer) in the early hours of the morning. In this prayer recitation
of any verse is allowed and so there is no obligation in this
matter. But care should be taken for lengthy recitation as it was
349
the practice of the Allah’s last prophet. After this the Sheikh was
mentioned one event of a great pious person whose name was
Qutubuddin. Once his Tahjud prayer was lapsed. In the morning
he felt that there was pain in his leg. So he began thinking about
this matter and he heard a divine call in which it was said it was
punishment for missing of the Tahjud prayer.
The act for the safety from the Satan
Then Sheikh said “It was written in Aurad (daily round of

prayer formulas) of Sheikh Khaja Moinuddin that the tradition
of the prophet, which was reported by Abdulla bin Masood and
which he mentioned “ One who will read ten verses from Sura
(chapter) Baqer in the following order then there will no entry of
the Satan allowed during the daytime into the house.
1.Four Ayats (verses) before Ayat al-Kursi
2.Four Ayats (verses) after Ayat al-Kursi
3.Last two Ayats (verses) of Sura Baqer
And those who will read the above Ayat (verses) then the Satan
will not be allowed to enter into the house during the night time.
The recital for the freedom from the poverty
Then Sheikh said “ One who is facing the condition of the

poverty and starvation, then he should make the recital of the
following phrase then his condition will be improved.
“ Lahool wala khuwata illa billa aliwul Azeem.”
After this the Sheikh said “ One day he was present with the
Sheikh of Islam Bakhtiar Kaki and at that time one person came
there and he was kissing the feet of the Sheikh and he was asked
to sit there. The person told him he was facing financial problems
350
with him. So the Sheikh told “ Do you aren't reciting the phrase
“Lahool Wala Khuwata Illa Billa Aliwul Azeem.” That person
told “No” he is not reciting this phrase. The Sheikh said “ As per
the tradition of the last prophet of Allah one who will recite many
times this phrase, then Allah will make him free from the
poverty.”
Then the Sheikh said “ He was seen in the book Baqital
Mujtahdin by Abul Lais Samar Qandi in which he was written
that he was surprised on the following four groups about their
carelessness.
1.The recital for the freedom from the grief
Those who are in grief than they should recite this phrase
“ La ilha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu min zalimin”. Because

Allah said
“ Fasatajnalahu wa najiahu min
gammi wa kazalik najini al-momineen.” After this, in this
connection, the Sheikh said “ When prophet Ayub (A.S.) was
becoming ill, then the insects were born in his body and he was
suffering from such a severe ill health problem for a period of
forty years. Then he prayed so he was asked to recite the
following supplication many times.
“ La ilha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu min zalimin”. After

the practice of reciting this phrase there was recovery of illness
for prophet Ayub (A.S.). The Sheikh said “ Once caliph Harun
Rasheed imprisoned one young person for his mistake and he was
planning to kill him. At that time one pious person came there and
instructed him to recite the above phrase. The young person
recited the above phrase and he was freed from the prison and
351
he was also awarded the special robe of honour (Khalqat) by

caliph Harun al-Rasheed.
2.The freedom from the fear
I am surprised from such persons who are fearful of some

things and they do not recite “ Hasbe allahu namal
wakil”. In the Quran, Allah says
“Fanqalibu benamatin minal lahi fazlin lamu yalashum su’ae.” In
this connection the Sheikh said one tradition “ There was one king
who was very cruel and in his mind there was came an idea to
proclaim himself as God. One day he took advice from his
advisors what step he should be taken in this matter?. There was
one cunning minister with him and who was advised to kill all
learned and Maulavi (Muslim priest) and Mulla (one knowing
only religious lore) persons of the city. So that then they will not
available and for this reason there will be no person will be left
who will follow the religion of Islam, then he can do as per his
desire in this matter.”
The king as per the advice of the minister, he asked him what he
should be doing the next thing in this matter. He asked him to
kill all copyists so that reading and writing of knowledge will be
no more there. So the king also followed this instruction of the
minister. Due to this reason Muslims were left their right path of
the Islam. In short in those copyists there was arrested one pious
personality of the time who was a sister’s son of Khaja Hasan of
Basra and upon seeing him the king, he came down from the
throne and with great regret he has freed him and awarded him a
robe of honour (Khalat). When the pious personality left for the
court the king told the persons who were present in the court “
When the pious person has entered his palace, he saw two big
pythons, which were standing on his two sides with him and fire
flames were coming from their mouths.” The pythons told him,
352
“If he will do any harm to this pious person, we will swallow

him.” Then the person asked with that pious person how he was
freed from there.? He said he used to recite this phrase
“ Hasbe allahu nemal wakil nemal
moula nemal nasir.” So the person who will recite this phrase then
nobody can do harm to that person.”
3. The recital to free from enemy’s craftiness
The Shaikh of Islam said “ He is surprised by those people

who are afraid of the cunning of the persons and they do not
recite the following phrase.
“ Afwaz amri ilallah innal laha basirul ebad.” There is instructed

from the holy Quran ( ) “ Foutahu Allahu Sayati Ma
Makaru” Then the Sheikh of Islam said “ When Khwaja Hasan of
Basra used to visit the court of Hajaj bin Yousuf then he used to
recite the above Ayat (verse).” And Hajaj bin Yousuf used to say
that he is such afraid with Khwaja Hasan of Basra and that he
did not find such afraid with any other persons. When he will use
to visit him in the court then there will be shivering in all parts of
his body and he was observed that two tigers were used to follow
with him.”
4. The act to obtain the heaven
The Sheikh said “ He is surprised from such person who

want to acquire heaven, but they do not recite the following
prayer. “ Mashallah la quwata illa Billah.”
Because Allah says “ Fasa rabbi an yutain
khairan min janatika.” The Sheikh said “ He was reading in the
book Asar Taibain that one young man who was a great sinner
and the offender was used to recite the above supplication very
353
much at the time of sleeping. When he was dying the persons saw
him in a dream walking in the paradise and asked him how Allah
treated was with him.? And he said in this matter that even though
he was a great sinner and the offender, but he used to the recite
above supplication very much at the time of in the morning and
evening time. So due to this reason of the reciting the above
prayer he got such a felicity there.
5.For the easiness of the punishment of the grave
Then the discussion about the punishment of the grave and

fear of angels Munker and Nakir (names two angels cross-
questioning the dead in the grave) was started. The Sheikh said “
One person told Abdulla bin Abbas that he will say one thing to
him and if he will follow it, then he will not be afraid with angel
Munker and Nakir. During the Friday night to pray two Rakat
(one rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion and prostration in
prayer) and in every Rakat recite Sura al-Hamd one time and 50
times Sura Iqlas and he said he was used to pursuing the above
prayer.” In the book Sharah Auliya it was written that upon his
death one person saw him in his dream and he was asked him “
How Munkir and Nakir were treated with him.? “ He said “ At
first there was very much fear of them upon him and they had
beaten him one time with the mace. But at last, there was a
command from Allah to leave him.” After this Sheikh said “
Somebody asked Abudlla bin Abbas whether he had something
for the poverty?.” And he said “Yes”, one should pray two Rakat
of prayer and in every Rakat after al-Hamad to recite 15 times
Sura Iza Zulzilat then he will be free from the problem.”
Then the Sheikh said, “ Once he was present in the service of
Shaikh Bakhtiar Kaki and there were many great Sheikhs were
also present there and the discussion about fear of the grave was
in progress.” Moulana Shahabuddin said, “ The person who will
354
note down this recital in their books and followed it then he will
not have the punishment of the grave upon his death.”
1.Sura (chapter) W’aqa
2.Sura (chapter) Muzamil
3.Sura (chapter) al-Shams
4.Sura (chapter) Lail
5.Sura (chapter) Alm Nashra
After this another Darwesh person said “ One pious person
was dying who belongs to a family member of the Chist. When
he was buried in the grave, then the angels arrived there
immediately and started asking him the questions. That Darwesh
person replied all questions correctly in the best possible way so
his grave was lighted. Somebody saw him in a dream and asked
him how Allah was treated by him? And he said “ Allah forgave
him and there was very much kindness from Allah and it was
said “ We have forgiven him for the sake of his prayer which he
used to prayed.”
The recital for the increase of the sustenance
The Sheikh of Islam said “ As per saying of the last prophet of

Allah wherein it is mentioned that one who will recite three times
Sura (chapter) Iqlas and three times Darud (blessing on the
prophet) after Fajr (morning) prayer and read the following verse
then he Allah will be rewarded him the following graces
(Nemats).
1.Long life
2.Plenty of wealth
3.Status and position
4.He will enter into the paradise without accountability.
355
“ Wamin yataq allah yajlahu mukerijan wa rizqahu min haisu la

yastibu wa min yatakawal alalahe fahuwa hasbahu. Innal laha
baliqu amrihi qad jalal lahu likulle shain qadir.” The Sheikh of
Islam was explaining the above and then prayer call (Azan) was
started and the Sheikh has started his prayer so myself and all
other persons left the meeting place.
The 20th Zil Hajj 655 Hijira year
The prayer of Khaja Fariduddin Ganj Shaker
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. It was a

time of prayer of Chast (supererogatory prayer at the time of mid-
morning). The Sheikh was present in the Jamat Khana (mosque)
building and one group of travelers came there. Then the Sheikh
addressed all persons and said he was praying to Allah that
“Moulana Nizamuddin should find whatever he will desire from
Allah.”
The excellence of the Darud (blessing of the prophet)
Then there was a discussion about Darud (blessing) on the

prophet was started. The Sheikh said “ He was seen in the book
Asar Mashaiq in which it was written that one who will recite
Darud (blessing) on the prophet for one time, then he will be free
from sins and his position will become as such that he did not
commit any sin and in his account 100,000 good deeds are
recorded in his record book of deeds and he will be counted
among pious persons.”
The Sheikh said “The companions of the prophet, Taibeen
(successors to the prophet’s companions) all categories of the
Mashaiq (learned) persons were followed the recital of the Darud
356
(blessing) on the prophet. If they miss any night their recital of

Darud on the prophet then they think as they were dead and used
to regret in this matter for the loss of it. And they used to say that
if they were live then they would send Darud on the prophet.
After this Sheikh said “ Once the recital of Sheikh Yahya bin Maz
Razi was missed and who used to recite 3,000 Darud (blessing)
on the prophet. At last he awoke in the morning and started such
mourning that if anybody was really dying in the house. The
people visited him and asked the details of him. Yahia bin Maz
Razi was in such condition and he was heard a divine call in
which it was told “ Yahia: Thawab (reward) of the reciting of
Darud (blessing) on the prophet, which We used to give him was
increased to 100 times and his name was written today also
among the reciters of the Darud (blessing) on the prophet.”
In this situation the Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he
said as per of the tradition “ One Khaja Sanai saw the prophet of
Allah in his dream but the prophet was not showing his face to
him. Khaja run towards him and he was kissing his feet and said
“ Oh : prophet of Allah: his life is sacrificed for him. What is the
reason in this matter that he is not getting favour from his side.?”
The prophet hugged him and he said “ He was used to sent too
many Darud (blessing) on him from his side for this reason he
was feeling shyness from his side.” Then the Sheikh said “
Subhan Allah (Allah is praised) they are such persons among the
slaves of Allah who used to send too many Darud (blessing) on
the prophet so for this reason the prophet feel shyness from them
so there should be many blessings on their souls.”
In this connection the Sheikh said “There was one group of
Jews was sitting there and at that time, one Muslim beggar came
there and was asked something from them. By chance at that
time, Hazrat Ali bin Abu Taleb (R.A.) was passed from there.
Upon seeing him the group of Jews by a joke told him “See the
king of youth is coming there.” That beggar was approached
towards him and explained him the details of his poverty and
357
hunger. The caliph of the prophet of Allah understood in this

matter that the beggar was sent to him for his trial. At that time,
there was nothing with him. Hazrat Ali bin Abi Taleb (R.A.)
holds his hand and recited ten times Darud (blessing) on the
prophet and blown on his palm and asked for him to close the fist.
The beggar followed his instruction in this matter and he went
there with the group of Jews. Then they asked him to open his
fist and upon opening it, they find one Dinar was there. On that
day, many Jews were converted and entered into the religion of
Islam.
After this, the Sheikh said “ Once caliph Harum al-Rasheed
became ill and during this ill health six months were passed and
he was near to his death. At that time, Shibli was passed away
from there. When Harun al-Rasheed came to know that Shibli
was passing from there, then he told his courtiers to try to bring
him in the court so that he can see him there.When Khaja Shibli
came there and by looking at him, he said immediately “ Rest
assured that he will be recovered soon”. And he recited Darud
(blessing) on the prophet and blown on him and he touched his
hand, then Harun al-Rasheed became very well and gained
normal health condition. We should know in this matter that the
Darud (blessing) on the prophet, which Abu Baker Shibli was
recited and blown on him and from the blessing of it Harun al-
Rasheed recovered his health condition immediately. The Sheikh
said “To recite the fifth Darud (blessings) on the prophet, which is
best, but it should be recited during the prayer time and which
will be better than this and it is mentioned as follows. Because
this Darud (blessing) is good and better than all other Daruds
(blessings). All blessings (Darud) are equal and same but the
excellence of all Darud blessings (Darud) is different and is not
the same. It means to all of them there is some small difference is
there in their excellences.
The fifth Darud (blessing) of the prophet is as follows.

358
Bis milla irrahman nirrahim

“ Allahuma salla ala Muhammadin ba’da daman sallu alai salla
Mohammadin ba’da daman lam yasalu alaihi wa salla ala
Mohammadin kama tuhibu witarza ba an tusella alahe wa salla
ala Mohammadin kama yunbaqi alsalawat alaihe wa salla ala
Mohammadin kama amartana
Bil salawatu alaihe.”
Then Sheikh said “ As this Darud (blessing) of the prophet is
superior from other Daruds (blessings) because Moulana Qaidul
Hasan Zandusi written it in his book Roudah Munnawar. He was
written when Imam Shafei was dying and some persons saw him
in their dreams and they asked him, “ How Allah was treated with
him.?” He replied “ Due, to this Darud (blessing) Allah was
forgiven him.” The second excellence of this Darud is that one
day the prophet of Allah was sitting there and many companions
of the prophet were also available there around him and Abu
Baker Siddiq was sitting on the right side of the prophet. At that
time one person came there after Salam, he was sitting there. The
prophet told him to sit in the place which is better than the place
of Abu Baker Siddiq. So for this reason the companions thought
him as the angel Gabriel because as per practice the great respect
and honour was used to be given him in the court of Allah’s
prophet. The prophet addressed to Abu Baker and said him, “This
person used to recite a larger number of Daruds (blessing of the
prophet) on him than any other person who could not send such
numbers to him”. Hazrat Abu Baker said to the prophet “ Oh :
prophet of Allah this person will not eat his food and not engage
359
in other activities of the life and all the time he used to busy
himself in sending of Darud (blessing) upon him.” The prophet
said “ He used to eat his food and engage in his dealings but he
used to send the above Darud (blessing ) upon him one time in the
day and one time in the night .”
The Shaikh of Islam was explaining the benefits of the Darud
(blessing) and at that time five Darwesh persons were coming
there and they were kissing the feet of the Sheikh. The Sheikh
told them to sit and they sat there and they said “ We are travelers
and having intention to visit Ka’aba in Makkah but they do not
have money for the expenses in this matter.If there will favour
from his side, then they can proceed on the journey with peace of
mind.” So there was thought for the Sheikh and he went into
meditation for some time and raised his head. There was a
potsherd in front of the Sheikh in which there were dry dates were
available there. The Sheikh was blown on the potsherd, and gave
them the dry dates to the Darwesh persons. But the Darwesh
persons were surprised in this matter. The Sheikh was coming to
know the surprise of the Darwesh persons by his purity of heart
and told them to see the dry dates. When they look at the dry
dates and they find them as gold.At last it was known by Sheikh
Baderuddin Ishaque that the Sheikh recited the above Darud
(blessing of the prophet) and blown on the dry dates.
The excellence of Ayatul Kursi (The verse of the throne)
Then the discussion started about Ayatul Kursi (verse on the

throne). The Sheikh said “ When this Ayatul Kursi was sent
down from the sky, then 70,000 angels came with Gabriel and
Gabriel told to the prophet “ Take it with respect and honour.”
Allah says “ Those who recite this Ayatul Kursi will get rewarded
for each and every word for the worship of 1000 years. And also
he will get the reward of 1000 angels who are reciting this Ayat
360
(verse) at the Kursi (throne) and We will count them among Our
close persons.”
Then the Sheikh of Islam said in the book Fatwa Zaheri it is
mentioned that Allah’s prophet says “ One who will recite Ayatul
Kursi at the time of leaving his house then Allah will command
70,000 angels to pray for his forgiveness till his return back to his
house.” After this Sheikh said “ He was heard from Sheikh of
Islam Bakhtiar Kaki that he told “ One who will recite Ayatul
Kursi while at the time of his entry into his house, then Allah will
remove the poverty and hunger from his house.”
After this, the Sheikh said “ He had read in the book Jame
Hikayat that in the house of one Darwesh person some thieves
came there, but the Darwesh was recited Ayat Kursi and thus he
was made fortification of the house. When the thieves entered
into the house they all became blind. The Darwish was wake up
and he came out of the house and asked them who are they?.
They told him “ They are thieves and for theft purpose they
entered into his house, but Allah made them blind there. So he
should pray for the recovery of their eye sights.We will leave this
work and accept the religion of Islam on his hand.” The Darwish
was smiling and said, “ To open your eyes and they find their
eyesight back with them.”
The 27th of Zil Hajj 655 Hegira year

was a discussion which was progress about the prayer. The
Sheikh said “ He was reading in the book of Imam Shebani a
tradition of the prophet of Allah which was reported by Imam
Jafar Sadiq that the prophet said “ If any person is facing any grief
or sorrow or hardness of trouble then he should pray Fajr
(morning) prayer and he should recite one hundred times the
following supplication.
361
“ Lahool wala quwata illa billa aliul Azeem ya fardu ya wishru

ya ahud ya samadu.”
The supplication for the easiness of suffering of the

sustenance
After this, the Sheikh said “ Once he was a presence in the

service of Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki and there was a discussion about
supplications was in progress. Hazrat Qutub said, “ One who is
facing financial difficulties then he should recite the following
supplication.”
Bis milla irrahman nirrahim Ya daim aiz wa mulk wal baqa ya

zajade wal ata ys wadood zal arshi majidu falun lima yaridu.”
The supplication for the success for all important affairs
The Sheikh said “ One who is in the condition of trouble due

to an obstacle and helpless then he should recite the following
supplication, one thousand times then he will be successful in this
matter.
“ Aqwa moinu wa ahda dalilan eyaka nabudo yaka nastain ”
The supplication for the approval of the acts
The Sheikh said “ He was reading in the book Tafsir Zahidi in

which it was mentioned that one who wants the approval of his
deeds, then he should recite this verse (Ayat) for the approval of
the deeds.
362
“ Rabbana taqabal minna ennaka antal samiul alim”
If anybody wants welfare in this world and in the next world

and free from the fire of hell then he should recite the following
supplication.
‫ًة ْن‬ ‫ًة‬ ‫َذ‬
‫الَّن اِر َع اَب َو ِق َن ا َح َس َن اآلِخ َر ِة َو ِف ي َح َس َن الُّد َي ا ِف ي آِت َن ا َر َّب َن ا‬
“ Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter,
and save us from the chastisement of the fire.”
[2:201]
The supplication for the firmness
If somebody wants patience in big works and for the firmness

in every dealings or success upon the enemies then he should
recite the following supplication.
“ Rabbana afriq alaina sabran wa sabbitu eqdamana wa ansurna

qamul kafirin.”
The supplication for peace of the heart
If somebody wants Eman (faith) and security of the heart,

then he should recite the following supplication.
“ Rabbana la tuz qulubana ba da ez hadaitana wa hab lana min

la dunaka rahmatan ennaka antal wahab.”
In this connection the Shaikh said “ The prophet was seated
there and around him there were many companions were present
in the meeting. The discussion was progressing about past
363
prophets of Allah. One of the companions stood and asked “ How

he will be satisfied with his Eman (faith)?.”So the prophet began
thinking about this question. At that time Gabriel came over there
said “ Oh : prophet of Allah : he was brought this verse (Ayat)
and one who will recite it then his heart will be satisfied from his
Eman (faith). And hope that he will leave from the world with
Eman (faith).” The Sheikh said “ The above verse (Ayat) which
was sent down by Allah due to the request of the companion of
the prophet.”
The supplication for including among the chosen (special)

persons of Allah
The Sheikh said “ One who wants to become the friend of

Allah then he should recite the following supplication many
times.
“ Our Lord! Thou art He that will gather mankind together

against a day about which there is no doubt; for Allah never fails
in His promise.” (al-Imran:9)
Upon this, the Sheikh said, “ He does not know what is the
reason in this matter that why people are away from the felicity of
this prayer.”
The supplication for the children
The Sheikh said “ In the case of any importance affair of his

slave who is running away or if somebody desires a pious child
then he should recite the following supplication.
“ Rabbi habli min milla dunaka zuriyatin tayabatin innaka samul

duwa”.
364
Upon this Sheikh said “ Prophet Zakeria (A.S.) was recited

this prayer so Allah was granted his prayer and he was given a
son as prophet Yahiah (A.S.) and who used to weep in his
childhood due to fear of Allah that the flesh of his cheek was
melted. His father prophet Zakeria (A.S.) and his mother used to
console him in this matter that still you are small child so why
there is so much fear of Allah on him?.Then he replied her, “
Oh : my mother when you put cooking pot on the fire and first
you put smaller wood pieces and when there will good fire then
you put there big wood pieces. So I have feared that in the hell
first the small children will be put there.”
The Sheikh said “ Once he was travelling towards Suwistan and
he was visiting there pious persons in that city. One day he went
into the presence of Mohammed Suwastani. He was a great pious
personality and he was an old person, but he was among the
persons of Velayat (saintliness). There was a discussion about the
tradition of Saluk (mystic initiation) was in progress and Darwish
persons were busy in the arguments in this matter. At that time
one person came there and touched the feet of the Shaikh and he
was sitting there. The Sheikh understood by the purity of his heart
and he said “ This person came there for his need.” The Sheikh
told him “ To go and recite the following prayer and he will get a
pious child by the grace of Allah.”
“ Rabbi habli min milla dunaka zuriyatin tayabatin innaka samul

duwa”.
That person left from there and Allah gave him a pious child
who afterwards became the custodian of the shrine and performed
70 Hajj without wearing the footwear and he was also dying in
this intention.
The supplication for the company of the pious persons on the

doomsday
365
Upon this Sheikh said “ He was reading in the book Kashaf

that If any person wants the company of the pious person on the
doomsday and to watch the resurrection of the day of judgement
then he should recite the following prayer. ‫ْل‬
‫َل‬ ‫ُتْخ َن َال‬ ‫َع َد ُتْخ ُف َال‬
‫ِإ َّنَك ا ِق َي اَم ِة َيْو َم ِز ا َو ُر ُس ِل َك َع ى َو َع دَّتَن ا َم ا َو آِت َن ا َر َّب َن ا‬ ‫اِمْل ي ا ِل‬
“ Our Lord! Grant us what Thou didst promise unto us
through Thine apostles, and save us from shame on the Day of
Judgment: For Thou never breakest Thy promise. (Al-
Imran:194).”
The Sheikh continued his discussion further and he said “ In
Bukhara city one person was very famous for sins and wrong
doings and when he was dying and he was seen in the dream with
pious personalities and friends of Allah.In surprised they were
asked of him how he got this wealth.? He said “ He was reading
in the book of Tafsir Kashaf that one who will read the
following verse (Ayat) then he will be with the pious
personalities. So he read the verse with truthfulness. Allah who
accepts small thing and for this he was rewarded with great favour
in this matter. So his small worship was accepted and his all sins
were forgiven by Allah. Now there is command for him to live
among the friends of Allah.The verse is as follows.
‫َل‬ ‫ُتْخ َن َال‬ ‫ْل‬ ‫َع َد ُتْخ ُف َال‬
‫ِإ َّنَك ا ِق َي اَم ِة َيْو َم ِز ا َو ُر ُس ِل َك َع ى َو َع دَّتَن ا َم ا َو آِت َن ا َر َّب َن ا‬ ‫اِمْل ي ا ِل‬
“ Our Lord! Grant us what Thou didst promise unto us

through Thine apostles, and save us from shame on the Day of
Judgment: For Thou never breakest Thy promise. (Al-
Imran:194).”
The supplication of the safety upon the cruel persons
The Sheikh of Islam said, “Those who want the safety and
protection of the cruel persons, then they should recite the
following supplication.”
366
“ Rabbana akhrijna min hazehe qariya zalime ahleha wa ajlu

ladunaka wilyan wajal lana min la dunnaka naseera.” The reader
of this verse will be always successful and victorious.
Upon this, the Sheikh said “ One day caliph Ali Ibn Abi Taleb
(R.A.) was busy with fighting with a large of a number of army
persons and he was facing difficulty there and so he sent a
message to the prophet of Allah that he was trying all war
strategy and plans. When the prophet of Allah finds the message
so he was upset and worried about this matter. At that time
immediately the angel Gabriel came over there with a message
that to read the following verse and due to its blessing there will
be success and victory in this matter. The prophet was written
and sent the message to Ali Bin Taleb (R.A.) and who followed
the instruction and he was captured a large of number of groups
of army persons which had the upper hand at that time in the war
and brought them to Madina.This success was happening due to
the blessing of the above verse only.
The supplication for the increase of the sustenance and for

the mercy and blessing
The Sheikh said “ Moulana Burhanuddin Zahid who wrote in

his book Tafsir Zahedi that one who want mercy and blessing
and an increase in his sustenance and for no dependence on others
then he should recite the following verse (Ayat).
“O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food
from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and
for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for
Thou art the Best of Sustainers. (5-114).”
367
Then The Sheikh said “ This verse was sent down by

Allah to the followers of prophet Mosa (A.S.). But they were
ungrateful for the grace and so Allah made them pigs and dogs
who ate from a table spread with food from heaven.”
The supplication to be free from the cruelty
The Sheikh said “ If you do not want to share with cruel

people then recite this supplication.
The Supplication for the comfort of the heart
The Sheikh said, “ One who want to spend his life with the
religion of Islam with happiness and in a pleasant way so he then
should recite the following verse many times.”
The supplication to release from the prison
Then the Sheikh said, “When someone who was in the prison
of a cruel person then he should recite the following verse.”
The supplication for the end of life on the Islam and Eman
(faith)
If any person when dies and want the status of pious

personalities, then he should recite the following verse (Ayat).
368
Upon this, the Sheikh of Islam said “After a long time when
prophet Yaqub (A.S.) and prophet Yousuf (A.S.) met then, at that
time prophet Yousuf (A.S.) was recited this verse in the
prostration and prayed as follows.
“Oh: my Lord: You made me a king and it was Your
willingness and he was not requested for it. On the day of
judgement do not settle my account with the kings. He is
helpless poor and the weak, poor person does not have the power
that his account should be accounted with kings ”
The supplication from the safety of the evil spirits
The Sheikh said, “ If any person wants to safety from the

evils of Jinn, of the cruelties of the cruel persons and idol
worship then he should recite the following verse .”
Upon this Shaikh said “This verse was sent down by Allah
when the last prophet of Allah was sitting there and the
companions were sitting around him and were hearing his advises.
At that time one Bedouin (Arabian nomad) came there and said
Salam and asked him “ Oh: prophet of Allah : show something
from which his children will be free from the evils of idol
worshippers.” The prophet began thinking what to advise him on
this matter. At that time the angel Gabriel came over there and
said Salam and said “ Oh : prophet of Allah : there is a command
of Allah to advise the following verse and ask to recite it many
times. Allah will keep him safety from the evils of the idol
worshippers.”
The supplication for the success upon the non-believers
The Sheikh said, “ Those who want the success on the infidels
then he should recite the following verse (Ayat).”
369
The supplication for the completion of light, of Eman (faith)
When somebody wants that there should be the completion of

light, of Eman (faith) in his heart then he should recite the
following verse.
After this explanation of the benefits the Sheikh addressed

me and said “ He was doing all this incitement for him as a Pir
(master) and so he must act as per the advice of his teacher. So
in this matter unless the disciple is not freed from the filth then
he will not proceed on the spiritual path (Tariqat) and then he
will not be away from the wrong path.”
The daily recital and practice
Then Sheikh said with his holy tongue that the prophet said
those who will recite this supplication daily and if he will die
during the recital period, then he will send to the paradise.” The
verse is as follows.
In this connection, he said “Hazrat Abbas says upon his

hearing this verse by the prophet of Allah and he used to recite
this supplication after the congregational prayers. He made it his
recital and practice. When he was dying then somebody was
asked him what Allah was treated by him? Due to the blessing
of the supplication which was advised by the prophet, he was
forgiven by Allah and he got a great place in the paradise.”
370
Upon this Sheikh said “ One who will recite this supplication
at the morning time and till the evening time, he will be safe and
free from problems and difficulties. If any problem which will
be sent down from the sky to any person and which will be
passed away from that person one who will recite this
supplication. But if there will no sincerity and truthfulness, then
that problem will be fall on that person. He has heard this effect
of the supplication of the holy tongue of the Sheikh of Islam
Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki. It is compulsory for every person that
he should always busy in the work of reciting of the supplication
and he should not forget the supplication for himself for his
intercession.
The second supplication
The Sheikh of Islam said “ Sheikh Abu Taleb Makki wrote in

his book Qua’tul Qaloob that prophet of Allah said those who
will recite this supplication, then he will be safe from any
problem or difficulty by the evening time. The supplication is
mentioned as follows.
The third supplication
In this connection Sheikh said “Qazi Imam Shabi in his book

Kifiya wrote this tradition that in the Bani Israel, there was an old
371
ascetic (Zahid) who had a young and beautiful maid with him but
as that person was very old so she did not love him. She wants to
leave him by any means. There was an old lady in her
neighbourhood who told her that she will prepare a deadly poison
for her and she will give it to her and she was advised her to give
him at the time of fast breaking. So she was acting as per old
lady's instruction and she was waiting in this matter until the
whole night to see when the ascetic (Zahed) person will die. In
the morning the, maid was observed that there was no effect of
the poison which was happening to the ascetic (Zahed) person.So
she could not control upon herself in this matter and she told him,
“ If he would keep her with him or kill her as she was given him
a deadly poison in the meals. What was the reason that it was not
effected upon him.?” The ascetic (Zahed) person was smiled and
he told her, “ He had with him one supplication which will not
effect poison or any other thing which will not do harm to him.”
The supplication is mentioned as follows.
The condition of the supplications
Upon this Sheikh of Islam said “ There are many conditions of

the supplication are there and if I will mention all of them then
the discussion will be lengthy.
Its first condition is, it should be started with the name of
Allah the Beneficent and Merciful as per saying of the prophet of
Allah which is as follows.
It means if any important work or big task which is not

commenced in the name of Allah, then, for this reason, it will not
have a blessing in it. It means it will not be successful. So its
372
compulsory that every supplication should be commenced in the

name of Allah.
The second condition is not to allow their women to wear the
ringlets or jewelry which creates the sound as it is available in the
sayings of the prophet that Allah will not accept the supplication
of such persons who feel happy with their women upon wearing
the jewelry which creates the sound.
The third condition is to offer alms (Sadqa) upon the
beginning and ending of the supplication. A tradition is reported
by Imam Shafei that he was in need of something from the king
so while he was going there he paid alms (Sadqa) on the way to
one Darwesh person and was asked him to pray for the
fulfillment of his desire. Because one who visit the king then he
should give something to door keeper of the court and the
Darwesh person is a door keeper of Allah and when he will
agree then his desire will be fulfilled.
The month of Muharram 655 Hijira year
The month of Muherram’s excellence and its supplications
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. All

people of Ayudhan were coming there, including the rich, poor,
learned persons (Mashaiq), Darwish and indigent persons and
they kissed the hand of the Sheikh and upon this the Sheikh used
to put his hand under his prayer mat and give some amount
which was written in their fate to each and every visitor. The
persons were brought sweets with them so there was too much
collection of the sweet items there and some portion of it was
given to the Darwesh persons.On that occasion, all persons of
that city and all travelers visited the Sheikh.This was the tradition
and practice of the every month with the Sheikh.
At that time, Sheikh Abdullah Mohammed bin Ahmed Balqi
who is among pious personalities of his time came there and
373
kissed the feet of the Sheikh and sat there. The Sheikh was in
meditation and started Zikr (invocation of Allah) and due to his
too much Zikr (invocation of Allah), he was becoming un-
conscious there. So Qirqa (robe of the honour) of Hazrat Bakhtiar
Kaki was put on him.So after some time, he came back in the
condition of consciousness. The persons who were present there
kissed the feet of the Sheikh.Then Sheikh addressed Sheikh
Abdulla Balqi and said him “ Do you know that our brother Khaja
Bahauddin left from this desert of the mortal world to the
immortal city?. And he replied “ He does not know what is
matter.? ” So the Sheikh told “Yes, he was dying just now. So let
us pray for his funeral prayer now.?” Then Sheikh and all persons
of the meeting place performed the funeral prayer of the Sheik
Bahauddin Zakaria.
After this Sheikh said, “ As per the tradition of the prophet
the funeral prayer in absence is allowed.” Because when the
leader of the martyrs Hazrat Hamza and other persons were
martyred then the prophet of Allah was performed the funeral
prayer in absence. So it is compulsory for us to follow this
tradition in this matter.”
Upon this, there was a discussion about the excellence of the
month of Muharram was in progress. The Sheikh said, “ In this
month except the following things one should not engage in other
activities.”
1. Obedience
2. Reading of the Quran
3. Salah (prayer)
4. Supplications
Because the subdue of the Allah will goes and mercy of Allah
will be sent down very much in the first ten days of this month.
He said “ During these ten days, many groups of the Mashaiq
(learned person) followed lamentation and humility.
The Sheikh continued his discussion further and he said “You
do not know what was happening to the prophet of Allah in these
374
ten days. The children of the prophet were faced afflicted and
aggrieved conditions. Some of them were killed by thirst. Even
one drop of water was not given to the children of the prophet by
the un-fortunate persons. When Sheikh of Islam came to reach
this discussion at this point, then he made a slogan and he was
becoming unconscious. When he became conscious then he said:
“ How they were cruel, imprudent, unfortunate and un-kind in this
matter.They were unkind people. They know well that they were
children of the king of the world and the religion of Islam.
Then,with great cruelty and helplessness, they have killed them.
They even did not think that how will they face the prophet of
Allah on the day of judgement. At last, Sheikh said to read the
following supplication at the time of the beginning of a new year
in the month of Muharram.”
In this connection Sheikh continued his discussion further and

he said “ He was seen in recital of Sheikh of Islam Khaja
Moinuddin Sanjari that one should pray six Rakat (one Rakat =
one set of standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) on the
first night of month of Muharram and in each Rakat after Sura al-
Hamad to recite Sura (chapter) Iqlas ten times. And in another
correct tradition, it was written to pray two Rakat and to recite in
every prayer one time Sura al-Hamad and one time Sura Yasin.
For this Allah will reward him 2000 palaces in the paradise.
There will be two thousand doors of the ruby in every palace and
at every door there will be the green throne of topaz will be there
and on which one Houri will be sitting there. This supplication
375
will protect him from 6000 problems and 6000 good deeds will
be recorded in his book of deeds.
The Sheikh continued his discussion further and said “ He was
read in Imam Shabei’s book of Kifiya that one who will read
hundred times daily the following supplication then Allah will
be free from the fire of the hell.
Upon reading the above supplication, one should blow on

his hands and touched his face with the hands, then Allah will free
him from his sins and he will become as same like the newly born
baby from his mother.”
The Sheikh of Islam was explaining the above and the prayer
call (Azan) was started and the Sheikh has commenced his
prayer so myself and all other people who were present at the
meeting place left from there.
The 10th Muharram 655 Hijira year
And today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. At

the meeting place Sheikh Dabir, Jamaluddin Hansavi, Sheikh
Badruddin Ghaznavi and other persons were present at the
meeting. The discussion about the blessing of the Ashura day ( a
tenth of Muharram) was in progress. The Sheikh said, “ It is
mentioned in the sayings of the prophet of Allah about the Ashura
day which is as follows.”
“ One who will observe the fast on the day of Ashura (tenth
Muharram) is like the person who was observed the fasting of the
whole year.” Upon this Sheikh said “ To pray four Rakat (one
376

prayer) on the night of Ashura night. And in every Rakat after
chapter (Sura) al-Hamad to recite three times chapter (Sura)
Ayatal Kursi and ten times chapter (Sura) Iqlas. Upon finishing
of this prayer to recite chapter (Sura) Iqlas 100 times.
The Sheikh said “ In the recital and daily practice of Sheikh
Usman Haruni it is mentioned the saying of the prophet of Allah
which was reported by Abu Huraira that to pray two Rakat after
the sunrise and in every Rakat after chapter (Sura) al-Hamad to
recite the chapters of the Quran which were remembered by that
person and upon this he should read the following supplication.
There is a great reward for this prayer and supplication.
Upon this Sheikh said “ In the daily recitals of the Sheikh of

Islam Bakhtiar Kaki in his handwriting it is mentioned that to
pray six Rakat on the day of Ashura (tenth day of Muharram) and
in every Rakat after Sura al-Hamd to recite the following
chapters (Sura) one time.
1.Sura Wa-shams
2.Sura Inna Anzalna
3.Sura Iza Zulzelat
4.Sura Iqlas
5.Sura Muzetan
After ending of the prayer in the condition of prostration, he
should recite chapter (Sura) Qul Ya Ahwul Kaferoon and pray
for any wish then it will be fulfilled.
In the above it is also written to recite 70 times the following
supplication, so, for this reason, Allah will forgive him and he
377
will be included in the category of pious persons of Allah and

great Mashaiq (learned) persons.
In this connection, the Sheikh said “ There was one thief who
used to steal shrouds. He theft shrouds of 2200 dead persons
from the graveyards. But he was repenting on the hand of Khaja
Hasan of Basra and who has stopped this work. So Khaja Saheb
asked him “ What he was seeing the position of Muslims in the
graves.” He said “ It is difficult to mention the details of all
persons there. But he will mention three events in this matter.
First grave
When he opened one grave and he was seeing one person’s

black face and in his hands and feet there were chains of fire
were there and there was a discharge of pus and blood was also
there. There was a bad odour from his mouth so, for this reason, it
was not bearable of it so he began to leave that place and heard
the dead body is asking him why he was running from that place.?
He told him to come near so he went near him and asked him
what he was doing in his life and tell the details in this matter for
which he was passing from such punishment in the grave.” So he
was entered in his grave and saw the angels of the punishment
were there who put the chains on his neck and they were sitting
there. He asked him who he was? He said “ He was a Muslim and
his father was also Muslim. But he used to drink wine and was
involved in adultery and he was dying in that lustful condition
and so for this reason, he was facing such disgrace in this
matter.”
Second grave
“ When he was digging the second grave and find one black
person in the naked condition and who was standing there. There
378
was fire from his four sides and his tongue was outside of his
mouth. There was a chain on his neck and the angles were holding
the other end of the chain in their hands. When that person saw
him and he requested him to provide him some water as he was
suffering hardly due to thirst. Upon this he wanted to give him
water, but the angels warned him not to give him the water to this
person who is an abstainer of the prayer. His act will be against
the command of Allah. He asked that person what work he used
to do in the world.? He replied “ He was a Muslim, but he hasn't
done obedience of Allah. So for this reason like him a large
number of persons are facing such punishment in this matter.”
Third grave
Upon this he, was digging a third grave and he saw a more
handsome person whose handsomeness could not be described in
the words and around him there was a meadow and there were
many streams were flowing there. In front of him Houries from
the paradise were sitting on the throne. He was asked that young
man who is he and what work he used to do in the world.? Which
act was brought this result for him there.? He said “ Oh:man he
was same like him, but he was hearing on Ashura day (tenth
Muharram) by a preacher that one who will pray six Rakat (one
prayer) then Allah will forgive him. So he was used to pray
always, that prayer without fail.”
The Sheikh of Islam said “ In the sayings of the prophet of
Allah it is available that one who will pray four Rakat on the
Ashura day or night so he will keep him away from the enmity
and Allah will keep him safe from the questioning of angels
Munkir and Nakir in the grave and he will be secured from his
enemies.”
379
The 17th Safar 655 Hijira year

well wisher went to Hansi to visit Hazrat Jamaluddin Hansvi for
some days and who was a great friend of Khaja Qutubuddin
Bakhtiar Kaki and I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh
and he was ordered me to sit so I sat there. I presented the letter
of Sheikh Burhanuddin to the Sheikh and he read the letter and
he said “ There was too much delay in this matter.” So I put my
head on the ground and said “ The: body of the earthly soil was
there but his heart was here.” The Sheikh said “ Yes, it is same as
per his saying. There was too much fondness which was
overpowering him and he used to say that if there will be wings
available, then he will fly to the place of the Sheikh and go into
the service of the Sheikh.” Then he addressed the persons in the
meeting and he was told “The son of the Sheikh and the disciples
should be like Moulana Nizamuddin.”
The Sheikh said to him, “ He was sent him his one letter in
which there was a great desire from his side to sanctify his feet. In
which he also sends his one couplet to which he was memorized.
When he will remember him then he used to recite it. It is
incomparable. If he will read it, then he will hear it.”
Upon kissing the Sheikh’s feet, I read the above Persian

couplet. When I recited that couplet there was too much
tenderness on the Sheikh and he was started dancing from the
time of Chast (mid-morning) to the afternoon and he was in the
condition of ecstasy. Upon this Sheikh awarded me the following
things.
1.Special Qirqa (the robe of honour)
380
2.Staff
3.Prayer mat
4.Wooden sandals
Upon this Sheikh took him by his side and he said “ Moulana
Nizamuddin his last time was near so he bid him farewell. And
again he could not see him. So now he can go today as it is his
farewell day. But it is good that if he could stay here so that it's
good to have his look and then he began weeping and his eyes
were full of the tears at that time and he was reciting one Persian
couplet which was about to get the look of the friendliest and its
importance in this matter.”
The acts to free from the calamities in the month of Safar
Upon this, the discussion was started about the month of Safar.
The Sheikh said “ It is very hard and tough month. When this
month used to arrive then the last prophet of Allah was used to be
worried and upset with this matter and when it will pass then he
feel happiness and joy. He was greatly affected by the hardness
and difficulties of this month.”
The Sheikh said “ There is one saying of the prophet in which

he says “ One who will inform him the good news of the end of
the month of Safar, then he will inform him the good news of the
paradise for him.”
The supplication is as follows.

381
In this connection the Sheikh said “Allah will send down

10,80,000 calamities and among those calamities 9,20,000 will
be sent in the month of Safar only. During this month, one should
busy in the worship and supplication of Allah so that one should
be safe from the calamities .” The Sheikh said “ He was heard
from one pious person that one who want to safe and secure from
the calamities of the month of Safar then he should read the
following supplication after the prayer.
Upon this Sheikh said, “To pray four Rakat after Eisa (night
prayer) prayer in the first night in the month of Safar for the
safety of all Muslims.” The method of four Rakat (one Rakat =
one set of standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) prayer
is as follows.”
1.In the First Rakat after chapter al-Hamad to recite chapter
(verse) Qul Ahwul Kafiroon 15 times.
2.In the second Rakat after verse al-Hamad to recite chapter
Iqlas 11 times.
3.In the third Rakat after verse al-Hamad to recite Sura Qul
Uwuaz Birrab Bin Nawas 15 times.
4. In the fourth Rakat after verse al-Hamad to recite Sura Qul
awuaz Birrab Bin Naas 15 times.
382
After completion of the above prayer recite many times “

Eiyak nabodu wayaka nsatain ” and recite Darud (blessing of the
prophet) 70 times. As this prayer is performed in advance so that
person will be safe from the calamities which will send down
from the sky on that day.
In this connection, the Sheikh said “ He was reading in the
book Sharah Sheikh Moinuddin Chisti and in which it was
written that on the last day of the month of Safar 3,20,000
calamities will send down from the sky. So this day is very hard
and tough compared to the other days of this month. So one
should pray four Rakat on the last Wednesday of the month then
Allah will keep him safe from all calamities of the month and also
he will be safe from all calamities of the next year.” The
supplication is as follows.
The Sheikh said “ All persons will be affected by calamities

during this month only. As per tradition, prophet Adam (A.S.) ate
the wheat in the paradise, during this month. For this mistake he
was weeping for a period of 300 years and his body’s flesh was
melted and it was confiscated from the body. Then there was a
command which came from Allah to pray in this matter for
Allah’s forgiveness. So all these hardships and difficulties were
started from the month of Safar. In this connection the Sheikh said
“ There is one tradition from Wahab Ibn Munba that once Abel
(Qabel) and Cain (Habel) took permission of hunting from
prophet Adam (A.S.).The prophet Adam (A.S.) was prohibited
them not to go jungle for the hunting but they have ignored his
advice. So they went into the jungle and they had a quarrel for
something and Habel was killed by Qabil. Then he was ashamed
and began thinking what he was doing?. This news was reached to
prophet Adam (A.S.) and he was very sad and upset with this
383
matter. At that time Gabriel came there and he was told “ There
is a command from Allah that the children of Habil will born all
Muslims and from the children of Qabil all will born Jews, fire
worshippers and infidel persons because he was killed his brother
in the month of Safar.
In this connection Sheikh said “ The followers of the prophet
Noah (A.S.) were indulging in the strom and were killed. Prophet
Ibrahim (A.S.) was thrown into the fire on the first of the Safar
month and in this month prophet Ayub (A.S.) was indulging in
the calamities of insects in his body. On the day when the saw
cut prophet Zikeria (A.S.) was last the Wednesday in the month
of Safar. When the knife cuts prophet Yahiah’s (A.S.) throat and
this event was happening in the month of the Safar and in this
month prophet Jirgis (A.S.) was cut into seven parts and prophet
Younus (A.S.) was went into the stomach of the whale.”
Upon this, the Shaikh began weeping and made a slogan and
he was becoming un-conscious. When he became conscious and
he explained the difficulties and problems which the last prophet
of Allah was encountered for the preaching and propagation of
Islam during the month of Safar and in that situation he used to
connect himself with Allah for help and assistance during the
month of Safar. The Sheikh said “On all prophets of Allah, the
calamities were sent down during the month of Safar only and
this month is very hard and tough. May Allah protect us and all
Muslims from the difficulties and problems of the month of
Safar.”
The 27th Safar 655 Hijira year

great personalities of Saluk (mystic initiate) such as Sheikh
Burhanuddin Hansavi, Sheikh Malhula Lahori, Sheikh
Jamaluddin Hansavi were present in the service of the Sheikh.
Some Sufi persons of Chist family were also present there. There
384
was a discussion about the endeavours were in progress. The

Sheikh said “Somebody was questioned Khaja Ba-Yazid Bustami
about his endeavours ( Mujhada). The Sheikh said “ He stood for
a period of 20 years in the world of thinking in the wind while
opening his eyes and in that period of 20 years he could not
never remember about sitting, standing and sleeping. There was
discharged of blood from his feet and also there was swelling in
his feet. Then he was in the world of engrossment for a period of
two years. And he has never given water to the soul for its full
satisfaction.”
In one week or one month he used to give two Dirham water
and when my endeavours reached at its height then I did not give
water to the soul for its full satisfaction for a period of ten years.
After that there was the desire of the sweet pomegranate of the
soul so he used to promise him and in the course of time ten years
were passed away. Then the soul’s objection was there in this
matter and who said “ When his promise will be fulfilled.?.” He
told him “ At the last moment.” If he will explain the details of his
endeavours then he will not power to hear it. The dealings with
him and with his soul which he was done and which will not be
believed by anybody in this matter.” So in this way a period of 70
years were passed away and there was no veil in between us. At
that time there, was a divine call in which it was heard “ To enter
into in Our work as he was left no deficiency so consequently it
is obligatory for Us to make manifest upon him.” Upon hearing
this soul of Khaja Bayazid made a slogan and given his life to
the Lord of the worlds.
Upon this Sheikh said “ This is the event of the death of
Sheikh Ba-Yazid Bustami. And he continued his discussion
further and said: “ Those who endure such endeavours will know
the observation.” After this Sheikh recited one Persian couplet
and its meaning and interpretation is that the lovers who will give
away their souls in the area of the beloved and for this reason
385
even the angel of death could not know the details and
information about them in this matter.
In this connection, Sheikh said “ He asked by a pious person

what is endeavour .? And he told him “ To kill the soul.” It means
not to fulfil the desires of the soul. And to follow such obedience
with which the soul will not be agreed.” In this connection,
Sheikh said “ Khaja Abu Yousuf Chisti told his soul “ Oh soul: if
he helps him tonight, then he will complete recitation of one
Quran in two Rakat (one Rakat = one set of standing, genuflexion
and prostration in prayer) of prayer.” He was used to practice
doing this daily. At last, one day, the soul did not help him so, for
this reason, two Rakat prayer was descended. On the next day at
the time of hymns, the pious person was promised not to give
water to the soul to the full level of his satisfaction for a period
of 20 years. Because in the previous night the soul’s
carelessness happened due to the drinking of water to the full
level of his satisfaction.”
In this connection, Sheikh said “ Sheikh Shujah Kirmani
could not sleep in the nights for a period of 40 years. After 40
years in one night, he was blessed with the sight of Allah.” Then
where ever he will use to go and sleep there by covering himself
with the cloth so that he can get the wealth again. There was a
divine call in which it was heard “ Oh: Shah Shujah that sight
was happening due to the result of no sleep for a period of 40
years. So now no sleep again for a period of forty years, then you
will have Our sight again. ” Then Sheikh began weeping and said
“ When Shah Shujah’s last time came then on the last day he
was prayed 1000 Rakat and he was sleeping on the prayer mat and
he watched the sight of the Lord of the worlds and there was a
command from Allah “ Oh: Shah Shujah do you want to come or
want to stay some more time there.? He said “Oh: Lord of the
worlds now he does not have the interest to live here. So he wants
386
to come there.” Then, upon his waking up he was prayed two

Rakat upon doing ablution. There was a time of Eisha (night)
prayer and he was dying in the condition of prostration. Then
Sheikh of Islam made a slogan and he was becoming un-
conscious. When he came back in his normal condition and he
recited one Persian couplet and its meaning is as follows.
After this Sheikh recited one Persian couplet and its meaning
and interpretation is that the lovers who will give away their
souls in the area of the beloved and for this reason, even the
angel of death could not know the details and information about
them in this matter.
Then Sheikh said “ Once somebody was asked with Khaja Ba-
Yazid the details of his endeavours. He said “ If he will explain
some of it, then he could not able to hear it. But as per his request,
he will explain some of it. One night he was demanded from the
soul for the worship of Allah, but he was careless in this matter.
The next day he was promised not to eat dates for a long period.
For a period of 15 years, he did not eat dates and the soul was in
its desire and he said that he will obey whatever orders that he
will give him. Then he was purchased dates and give him so, for
this reason, he was becoming faithful to him. And whatever he
used to give him the command, then he used to perform it, but he
will do more than it.”
When somebody was asked with Khaja Zan Noon Masri,
about his endeavours that where it was reached.? He said “ Till 2
to 3 years he was not given drinking of water to the full level of
soul’s satisfaction. So a period of ten years was passed away, but
he did not give water to him. Till the completion of recitation of
two Quran in every night then he will not engage in any other
work. Then Sheikh has explained the event of the death of Khaja
Zan Noon Masri. He said “ One day Khaja Saheb was sitting there
with his friends. There was a discussion about the deaths of pious
personalities. At that time, one person came there by wearing a
387
green dress by holding one apple in his hand. That man was very
handsome and look like a pious person. Khaja Saheb told him to
sit there and he said to him many times “ He is welcome here
and he came there on right time.” Then that person has given him
the apple which he was brought for him. Khaja Saheb received the
apple in his two hands and he was smiling and said that man to
leave from there. When that man left Khaja Saheb with regret
was requested all persons to leave from there. Then Khaja Saheb
was sat in the direction of Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn
in prayer) and started reading the Quran and when he finished it
then he smelled the apple and died there. And when the funeral
was brought along the road, a Muezzin (one who shouts the call
to prayer) shouted the call to prayer. When he reached the words
of attestation Zan Noon El-Massari lifted a finger out of the
shroud. ‘ He is alive the shout went up.’ So they lay down the
pier. His finger was pointing, but he was dead, for all they tried,
they could not straighten his finger. Then there was a divine call
in which all heard “ Oh Muslims, the finger, which Zan Noon
lifted in the name of the prophet of Allah which will not be
revoked unless the prophet will not hold his hand in this matter.”
Upon this Sheikh of Islam recited one Persian couplet and he
began weeping too much and its meaning and interpretation is as
follows.
“ That the lovers who will give away their souls in the area of
the beloved and for this reason, even the angel of death could not
know the details and information about them in this matter.”
After this Sheikh said “When after the demise of Khaja Sahl
Ibn Abdullah Tastari and at the time when his funeral was
brought outside of his house, then Jews of that city who were not
accepted him and their leader came there without wearing the
388
sandals and they were requested to put down the funeral on the
ground as they want to become Muslim. When the funeral was put
down on the ground, then that Jew’s leader said: “ Oh: Khaja
sermonize him so that he can become Muslim.” And with him,
1000 persons of Jews were present there. Upon hearing this
phrase, Khaja Saheb put his hand out of the shroud and was
opened his eyes and said
.
and upon the above phrase Khaja Saheb stretched his hand in the
shroud and was closed down his eyes. Then persons asked the
Jew’s leader, “What he was seeing the proof and why he was
accepted into the religion of Islam.?” He said “ When they have
brought the funeral outside of his house and at the time he heard
a loud voice in the sky and thought in his heart what voice is
this.? Then he was seen in the sky and he was found there were
angels coming down while holding trays of light in their hands.
The angels were coming there for the funeral of the Khaja Saheb
and they were pouring down the lights on the funeral. So he said “
Allahu Akbar (Allah is great) there are such great personalities
are there in the religion of the prophet of Allah and for this reason
he was accepted into the religion of Islam.” The Sheikh began
weeping and he went into the world of thinking and recited the
following Persian couplet.
In this connection Sheikh said “ Once Sheikh Makki was seen

in the dream that he was carrying the throne (Arsh) on his head.
In the morning time he thought he should explain the dream to
somebody so that he can get an interpretation of it. At the last he
thought that to see Khaja Ba-Yazid Bustami to get his help in this
matter as no other person is not better in this purpose. When he
was out of the house he was seen in the whole city of Bustam
there was a huge loud and cry was there. When he was asked in
this matter and he was coming to know that Sheikh BA-Yazid
389
was leaving the world. So Sheikh Ali made a slogan and he went
there by weeping. When he reached the funeral of Sheikh BA-
Yazid and he was seen there were so many persons who were
brought the bier out of his house there. Sheikh Ali with great
difficulty and problem able to put his shoulder under the funeral
as there were a large number of people in the funeral procession
there and he thought in his mind that he was able to know the
interpretation of his dream. And he thought the funeral of Khaja
Saheb is a throne (Arsh) of Allah which he is carrying on his
shoulder.” Upon this Sheikh said “ This well wisher was in the
world of endeavours for a period of thirty years and then there
was no care of day and night with him. He used to pray only and
continue again in that world. Upon this he said “ When Sheikh
Khaja Maudod Chisti was dying and at that time his body was
weak and he was in waiting condition and at that time one person
came there and brought one silky paper on which it was written
the name of Allah on it. That person after his Salam given the
paper to Khaja Saheb. Khaja Saheb read the paper and put his
eyes in the name of Allah and he was dying there. ”
So there was a great loud noise and cry in the world with the
news that today Khaja Qutubuddin was dying. When the funeral
bath was over then nobody could not lift his funeral from there.
So all persons were in a condition of the surprise and
astonishment. The people gathered there and prayed funeral
prayer and try to lift the funeral, but they were not successful in
this matter. But the funeral was lifted in the air automatically and
all people followed the funeral. Due to this reason a large number
of infidel and the person of other religions were accepted the
religion of Islam on the spot. When somebody asked them what
the proof they have seen in this matter and why they have
accepted the religion of Islam.? They said “ They have seen that
the funeral of Khaja Saheb was being carried on the heads of the
angles.” When Sheikh ended this tradition and made a slogan and
was becoming unconscious and when he became normal, then he
390
recited the following Persian couplet which is as follows and its

meaning and interpretation is as follows.
“The lovers who will give away their souls in the area of the
beloved and for this reason, even the angel of death could not
know the details and information about them in this matter.”
Khaja Saheb was busy in explanation of these benefits, then

prayer call was announced so he was started the prayer and all
other persons and myself left the meeting place.
The 2nd Rabil Awwal 655 Hijira year
The award of special robe of honour and turban of excellence
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Today,

Sheikh awarded me the special robe of honour (Khalat). All pious
persons were also present there and with his holy tongue Sheikh
said “ He was granted Nizamuddin Velyat (saintliness) of India
and made him custodian of the shrine.” Upon this hearing myself
was sanctified the feet of the Sheikh two times. The Sheikh said “
Oh : Jehangir (the conqueror of the world) of the world lifts your
head” and immediately the turban of Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki which
he was wearing on his head awarded me and he was also given
me the staff into my hand. By his holy hand, Sheikh put his robe
of honour (Qirqa) on me and told me to go offer two Rakats of
thanks. When he was seated in the direction of Qibla (direction in
which Muslims turn in prayer) then Sheikh holds his hand and
he said “ He: was handed over him to Allah.” Then Sheikh said “
He was giving all these things to him because of his last time was
near and at that time he will not be available there.” He also said “
He was also not present at the last time of his spiritual master
Khaja Qutubuddin and at that time he was at Hansi.”Then he
391
asked Moulana Baderuddin Ishaque to prepare the credential in

this matter. When I got the certificate, then Sheikh took my head
toward his side and he said to me “ He was enable him to reach
towards Allah and he asked him to see Sheikh Jamaluddin in
Hansi.” The Sheikh said “ To stay today and to leave by
tomorrow.”
The Sheikh said “ When illness of the last prophet of Allah
was becoming worse than he could not visit the prophet’s mosque
in Madina. On the third day, Hazrat Bilal went to the room of the
prophet of Allah and he said as follows.”
The prophet of Allah stood and said “ To say Bilal to bring
Abu Baker (R.A.) and Umar (R.A.) there so that we can go
together to the mosque.” Hazrat Abu Baker (R.A.), Umar (R.A.)
and Usman (R.A.) came there, then the prophet of Allah puts his
hands on them and went into the mosque and wanted to lead the
congregational prayer but there was no strength in him. He caught
the hand of Abu Baker (R.A.) and asked him to lead the prayer.
So for this reason the Muslims made a slogan and they were
terrified in this matter. At the last prophet of Allah came back to
his room again. And he was sleeping there in black a blanket.
After some time one Bedouin (Arabian nomad) came there and he
was knocked down on the door with his hands so there was a
tremor on the door and walls. Hazrat Fatima (R.A.) went to the
door and she told him that it is not the time of talking. So she
was regretted him in this matter, but he was not listening to her.
At last the last prophet of Allah heard his voice and he was called
back Hazrat Fatima (R.A.) from there and he said to her “ Oh :
life of your father, this dear person is not Bedouin (Arabian
nomad) but he is such a person if she will shut the door then he
can enter from the wall. This is the person who will make the
children orphaned and the women widows. He is caring the
dignity of her father so he is asking permission in this matter. Ask
him to enter into the house so that he can fulfil the command of
Allah.” There was a slogan in the room and the angel of death
392
entered into the room and he was kissing the feet of the prophet
and he was asked by the prophet of Allah to sit there. He sat there.
The prophet asked him “ For which work he was coming there.?
He said “ There was command of Allah to visit him and he was
instructed not to enter into the house unless there is permission
from his side and there is request in this matter that if he want to
come there, then he will take out his sole otherwise he will
return back from here.” The prophet of Allah said him, “ To stay
for a while till the coming of Gabriel.” At that time Gabriel came
over there. The prophet of Allah asked Gabriel.
The angel Gabriel said “ Oh: prophet of Allah, the angels are
waiting for his pure soul in the sky by holding the trays of light
(Noor). The doors of the sky and paradise have been opened
there. The souls of the prophets are standing to welcome his soul
there. The Houries of the paradise are anxious to look at him
there. Redwan has decorated the heaven for his arrival there.” The
prophet of Allah said, “Brother Gabriel he does not inquire all
about these things. But tell him what will be the condition of his
Ummat (nation) after him?” Gabriel said, “ Allah says to hand
over the Ummat (nation) to Him so that He will return back to
him on the day judgement in the same condition which it was in
his life period.” The prophet of Allah said to him “Yes” this is
his purpose.” Then the prophet of Allah ordered the angel of death
to commence his work. Upon this order the angel of death was put
his hand on the leg and which was passed through it. Then he
takes out the soul of the prophet of Allah. The prophet of Allah
had asked a cup of water for him. Then he began to use to wet his
hand with it for many times and used to touch his chest with the
wet hand and he used to say the following supplication.
It means “ Oh: Allah reduces his the agony of the death.” When
the soul reached in the throat then there were moments in his lips.
Hazrat Fatima (R.A.) puts her ear near the body of the prophet of
Allah and he was saying “ Oh: Allah due to the sake of the
393
exclusion of his soul be kind upon his Ummah (nation)” and

until his last time, he was repeated this supplication.
When Sheikh has completed this tradition, then there was a
slogan from the persons who were present there at the meeting
place. The Sheikh of Islam was becoming un-conscious. Upon
coming back into his normal position Sheikh addressed me and
he said “ For whom all the worlds were created was no more in
the world than who we are to take sides of the life.? So for this
reason, we are thinking of the persons who are dead. But we
should take care of the needs of the journey is the most and
compulsory things. We should not waste our life in talking and
carelessness otherwise we will be ashamed on the day of
judgement.”
When Sheikh of Islam completed this discussion at that time
Shams Dabir was present there at the meeting place.Upon are
kissing the feet of the Sheikh, he said to him, “ There is available
one poem of Moulana Nizami with him and if there is permissive
in this matter, then he will recite it.” He was ordered to recite it.
When Shams Dabir recited the poem, then there came strength in
the Sheikh of Islam and so for one part of the day, the Sheikh was
in ecstasy and, this time belonged to his comfort and rest period.
On that day, the Sheikh was given one rain coat to Shams Dabir
as a present to him from his side. After that Sheikh was busy in
the reading of the Quran and from the persons who were present,
in the meeting place of Sheikh it was a heard by them that until
his death, he could not sit again with the people after the conduct
of the above meeting. The Sheikh of Islam used to busy only in
the invocation of Allah. The Persian poem which Shams Dabir
recited in the meeting place is as follows.

Preface
This is a very old book by Badruddin Ishaque about the

advice and discourses of his spiritual master Khaja Fariuddin
Ganj Shakar and which was translated from Persian into Urdu
language and the first time I am translating this book into
English. This translation of the most ancient and celebrated
Persian book about Sufi’ism will, I hope, be found useful not only
to the number of students familiar with the subject at first hand
but also by many readers.
This is a very old book in which there are advises and
instructions, especially available for Taleb (student) and it refers
to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a
Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik
(Arabic: ‫)َس اِل ك‬, a Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy
of Sufism and all these details of advice by the spiritual master
Khaja Farid Uddin Ganj Shakar by Bader Uddin Ishauqe are
added in this book And also in this book there are some great
achievements which are not yet known to the general person are
published in a very interesting style so for this reason the readers
will find great interest and attention in this matter.
From the above facts and details, if the readers will start

so this book is small one, but it will present the ocean of
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book Muslim
saints and Mystics (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al-din Attar)
which is very famous in the Western world among the English
knowing persons. So for this reason, there will be some small
differences in it while comparing with the Urdu books and its
literature. The aim of this book is to present in the Western
world where there are great search and demand of the books of
last prophet.
To write about this great saint is not only it is difficult and
of his time in India, but he was also a great author of some books
including Rahatul-Quloob, in he which deal with the Islamic
code of living. So in brief he was a great Saint of his time in the
Indian sub-continent and who did many great endeavours for the
preaching and propagation of Islam in Delhi city upon
becoming the caliph of Khaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki he did
the endeavours for the Islamic mission with the hopes of its

added for which I shall be highly obliged in this matter.
In the preface of the book Tadhikra Awliya (Muslim Saints

the Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism. In the praise of Baba Farid
Ganj Shaker
Introduction
There are lots of praise to the Lord of the worlds and due to
His favour and kindness the person of grace, the king of pious
persons, the Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot) of the world,
the heir of the prophet, the crown of the holy persons, the sun of
Arif (mystic) persons Khaja Fariduddin Ganj Shaker. So I have
heard many good pieces of advice and instructions with me for
Taleb (student) and it refers to a person who is committed to a
Murshid (spiritual master) in a Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism
and words of piety, benefits of the saintly court which told by
Khaja Fariduddin Ganj Shaker and which I have collected and
gathered in the book Asrar Auliya.
When the honour of kissing the feet of Khaja Fariduddin Ganj
Shaker was available to the well wisher who is among the
Darwesh persons, and known as Baderuddin Ishaque who is the
servant of mystics and who is collecting the saying in this book.
Then at that time Sheikh said with his holy tongue “ Oh :
Darwesh for the secrets and Anwar (lights) there should be
required wide courage in this matter. So that the secrets of the
friend will firmed with him and with its help who can make his
position in this matter. If there will be disclose of one secret, then
the secret will be destroyed as it was happening in the case of
Mansour Hallaj. Because these are the secrets of the friend. So the
secret which was available to the man by the divine light, then it
should not disclose by him. It is generally known and famous that
401
those who will disclose the secret of the king then they are not
suitable to keep the secrets of the other persons.”
Afterwards he said “ Oh : Darwish there are 70,000 secrets of
Allah are there and which are sent down into the hearts of holy
persons from the world of light. So their heart should try to search
for the secrets. But oh : Darwesh the first stage is that when divine
light of the secret of Allah will befall on the lover and from
which even smaller portion the of divine light will be out from
there, than with that there will be a cause of enlightenment in the
whole world. So in this way one should be true in this matter and
which a is must so that he should be able to know all secrets of
his friends and he should not disclose its smaller portion in this
matter. In the first place if he will disclose the secret, then he will
be deemed a as less courageous person so he will be not eligible
for the secrets.”
He said again that “ Oh: Darwish in the book Mahaiq Tabqat
in which it was written that when somebody will be informed
about the secret, then if he is not bearing it then he will be
punished for disclosing the secret. And he will get such
punishment like such person, one who discloses the secrets of the
kings.”
Afterward this servant of Darwesh persons, helper of
indigent persons and poor persons that is this weak person
Baderuddin Ishaue, who is author of this book and when this slave
was getting the chance of kissing the feet of the sky and ability
Khaja Fariduddin Ganj Shaker The Sheikh was kind enough to
me and honoured to accept my pledge (Bait) there and he was
also kind enough to me and put on my head the four ends Turkey
cap which is a treasure of both worlds for me.

The discussion about the secret of holy persons
Khwaja Mansour Hallaj and the disclosing of the secret of

Allah
When the honour of kissing the feet was available to the well-
wisher on the 18th Shaban in the 831 Hegira year, Sheikh told by
holy tongue that “ There was a sister of Khaja Mansour and she
was used to go to the jungle in the Baghdad and worship there and
at the time of her return from such place, then there were being
commanded by Allah to give her one cup of heavenly wine in her
hand and she used to drink it and goes back to her house. When
Mansour was learnt this information then he was began watching
her secretly in the jungle.
Once she left her house, then Mansour began following her
and he was reaching the jungle and he was watching everything
there. In the last part of the night when she was finished her
worship, then the angel was brought the cup of heavenly wine to
her and she began to drink some of the wine and still there was
404
balance of wine in it, then at that time Mansour came there while
calling “Oh: sister to keep his share in the cup.” When she was
turned back and she saw Mansour was there so she was regretting
that one of her secret was revealed in this matter and she told to
him“ Mansour if you will drink it but you will not bear it.”
In short Khaja Mansour drank one sip of the heavenly drink,
then he was went on the condition of intoxication.
In what is considered the most compelling entry in this book,
the author relates the story of the execution of Mansour Hallaj,
the mystic who had uttered the words, ‘I am the Truth’ in a state
of ecstatic contemplation.So her sister began weeping and she
said to him, “ Oh : Mansour, you are a less courageous man you
not only brought insult on yourself but also insult on me along
with you.”
Afterward Khaja Mansour came to the city and he started
saying the world, ‘I am the truth’ in a state of ecstatic
contemplation, so he was sent to the cross. Her sister went there
and she said to him, “ Oh: Mansour did, I haven't told that you
will not able to bear the secret. So for this reason you will be
killed in this matter.”
In short the mankind began saying about Mansour that he was
a brave man who was killed on the way of his friend. Upon this
her sister told them, “ Oh : careless persons if her brother was a
brave man then he would have not become intoxicated upon
drinking a little wine of love so he was not brave and he was
becoming intoxicated in this way.” Then she described about her
narrative that “ Since about 20 years she used to get one cup of
secret from the friend and she used to drink it, and she never
becomes intoxicated and she will daily demand more and more.”
Saheb began weeping and he was becoming un-conscious. When
he was becoming conscious then he said: “ Oh: Darwish persons
in the way of Allah, there are such persons are there who used to
drink many 100,000 of the secrets of the rivers of the friend in
405
one moment but they will not show any effect of their drink in
this matter.”
Afterwards, he said “ Oh: Darwish, if one who is firm in the
love and he is not true in his pledge so know that on the day of
judgement he is will be ashamed in the love.”
Afterwards he said “ In his history book Qazi Hameeduddin
Nagori wrote that on the day of judgment there will be
commanded to present Majnu (desperately in love) there. When
he will present there, then all holy persons will be also called
there as they are the claimants of the love of Allah and they will
be asked if they were claimant of love of Allah, then why they did
not become the lover like Majnu who did such love with Laila.
When he was living in the world he was always drowned in the
love Laila and he was also dying in the love of his beloved Laila.
When at the time of resurrection, when he will be there, then he
is also drowned in his love of Laila.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish, Nizami Ganjavi who was a
great man of grace and whatever he was writing about the
mysticism that no one did write such record. Once he was present
at the meeting place of Darwesh persons in which choristers
(Qawwals) sang the following two couplets and due to this
reason there was different effect and a condition of the surprise
was prevailed upon the people and if it will be demanding such
time in 100 years then it will not be regained later. The Persian
couplets are as follows. ”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh, the Fakir (indigent) persons

are the people of love and Ulema (learned persons) are persons of
wisdom so there is available difference in between them for this
reason. ”Again he said “ Oh Darwesh, the persons who are
eligible for this work are those who have love and wisdom in
406
them. On the way of mysticism the love of Darwesh persons is

overwhelming on the wisdom of Ulema persons. In this situation,
he said, “One Darwesh who was his friend whose name was
Bhaiya and he was belonged to a person of the recital and
realization when he used to walk on the way like intoxicated
person and used to walk in an ecstasy.”
From the worldly love to the love of reality
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh one person in his youth

period was become lover of one woman. One night he went to the
wall of the house of the beloved and he was standing near the
window and his beloved lowered her head from the window and
both of them began to talk with each other and they were engaged
in the talking of love from evening until the time of dawn and at
the time of the Fajr (morning) prayer they thought it was the
Eisha (night) prayer. And when they watched again, they find it
was time of dawn. And suddenly there was a divine call in which
it was heard “ Oh: young man you have finished the time from
evening to the morning in the love of the woman. How you ever
did fall in the love Allah.?” When the young man heard this, then
he was repenting in this matter and busies himself in the
invocation of Allah.
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said “
With the secrets it is this one and who was returned back towards
the love of Allah so Darwish, one who will find such liking with
him than how he will love with the unrelated person.”
In this situation he said “Once Majnu (desperately in love)

heard that Laila was giving Sadqa (charity) at her place so he
stood with wooden cup and he began wandering here and there.
Laila was given something to all but she did not give anything to
Majnu and she did leave the place and entered back into her
house. At that time, Majnu began dancing with merriness and joy.
407
The people blame him, what is the situation in this matter that
she did not give you anything or she did not pay any attention
towards him.?” Majnu said, “ Surely she did not give him
anything but she saw him there.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said “
The importance of this thing is known to such person, one who
will be drowned in the river of the love or who will get his
sustenance from the invisible running stream.”
Afterward, he said “ One who is a claimant of love and
affection, then he will knock the door of the beloved till there is
soul available in his body. So that at any time it will be opened
and he will get position in this matter.”
Afterwards, he said “Oh: Darwesh in the Bani Israel nation,
one mystical person who was worshiped for a period of 70 years.
At that time there was a command of Allah was sent to the
prophet of that nation that “ To inform the mystic person that he
should not give him trouble in the worship as his worships is not
accepted by Him.” When the prophet has informed the news on
this matter, then the mystic person began dancing in this matter.
When he asked the reason in this matter, then the mystic person
told him that “ His sincerity is not accepted, but he is added up
and he was remembered by Him.”
Afterward, he said “In this way, such person is true and the
loved one who bears the difficulties and problems of the world of
secrets which will be sent down to him and for which he should
be patient and in the agreed condition in this matter. So it is
mentioned in the holy Quran as follows.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam was recited two couples of

Persian poetry and for this reason, there was special condition and
a surprise was prevailed upon him.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh in the person who is having
secret should have such personal power with him so that he
408
should protect the secret of Allah with him when it will be sent
down to him.”
The secrets of the friend are beautiful
Afterward, he said Khaja Moinuddin Sanjari wrote that the

secrets of the friends are beautiful and which enter into the heart
of the beautiful love. Due to this “When asked with Yahiah Maaz
Razi why he was not seen any time talking or laughing?” Then he
said “ Always there are divine light and secrets which will prevail
upon his heart. So in his heart there will be light and secrets of
his friend will be there then how he will be busy in talking and
laughing with other persons. So there will talk and laughing will
be done when there will be a command that
“ Weasel al Habeeb al Habeeb”. It means the friends have met
with his friend.” In this situation he said “When Umar Bin Qattab
(R.A.) was asked what thing you were seen and become the friend
of Allah.” He said “Once he was sitting there and he was given
the mirror of the love in which he has seen one stature on him so
he was falling in love and made his requests of repentance in this
matter that this grace should be given to him. There was
command there that he should not disclose this secret to others. So
that he will be eligible of other secrets in this matter.”
Afterward, he began weeping and recited one Rubai (quatrain)
which he once was heard by Hameeduddin Nagori in one
meeting place.
The favour of Khaja Hasan Qaqani
Afterwards he said “Oh : Darwesh Khaja Hasan Qaqani was

walking on the way and during that time his mustaches were
increased so one barber told him to come towards him so that he
will shave him. He told him that “He did not have money with
him.” The barber told him that “He can pay him later.” When the
409
barber was finished his shaving under a tree, then he was looking
at the sky and he said “ Oh : Allah what I will make a request in
this matter.?” Still Khaja Saheb did not finish his request, then the
tree was shaken, and with red Dinars of gold the earth was filled
there and the barber was surprised in this matter. Khaja Saheb told
him “Whatever he wants, he can take the Dinars from there ”and
saying this he left that place.
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “Oh: Darwesh the holy
persons used to do such things and give grace to every helpless
person and left from there.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh one lover used to make
requests every morning so that to get the love of the friend and to
get lost his personality in between them.
One day he was burning down in his fire of the love and he
became alone in this matter. So, Darwesh when the love of the
friend comes then there will not be two there. So there should be
singular in the case of the love so that he will able to enter into the
house of the meeting of the friend. If there will be no such case,
then he will be not able to enter into it.”
Afterward, he began weeping and recited the following
Masnavi (verse comprising couplets) and he said he heard this
from meeting place of Khwaja Bakhtiar Kaki and still he is in
fond of it and which is as follows.
The worship of Zulekha
Afterward, he narrated the following event in the

overwhelming fondness that “When prophet Yousuf (A.S.) was
married with Zulekha and she was accepted the religion of
prophet Yaqoob (A.S.) and she was engaged in the worship of
Allah. Prophet Yousuf (A.S.) used to run behind her, but she was
used to avoid him in this matter. At that time prophet Yousuf
(A.S.) said to her that “ Once there was a time that she used to
410
run behind him, but he used to ignore her. But now he used to run
behind her, but she used to ignore him so what is reason in this
matter.? ” She said him, “ Oh : Yousuf in those days she did not
have the friendship of Allah. So she was away from His devotion.
She did not have a friendship of nobody except with you. So I
think that there was you only with her at that time. So for this
reason she used to run behind him. But now she was recognized
Allah so she used to worship Allah in this matter. She reached to
the stage of the observations from the stage of endeavours and His
friendship was established in her heart firmly. So : Yousuf now
you and like you of 100,000 persons who are better than you are
not in my sight.When she was becoming a lover of the Allah, then
how she will love the unrelated thing, then for this reason she
will become the false claimant or she will become not true in
the love of Allah.”
Afterwards he said “Oh : Darwesh when prophet Mosa
(A.S.) was requested “Oh ; my Lord, show thyself to me from all
things of the soil of his grave.” Rabbi Arni Unzar Alaink, then
there came the command of Allah, “ Oh : Mosa what rudeness
you have done in Our court by requesting to show Our sight
because We have promised that unless the last prophet and his
nation which are Our lovers will not have Our sight till then the
other person will not able to have Our sight.” So, Darwesh
because prophet Mosa (A.S.) was overwhelming with the
fondness and love of Allah, therefore, did not hear this command
and he again was requested Allah in this matter”.So there came a
command that “Oh : Mosa you witnessed a glimpse of divine
light (Tajall-e-Ilahi) but you will not bear it.” So Mosa said “Yes,
he will put up with it.” So he commanded on the mount of Senai
and to pray there two Rakat and sit on the two legs with respect
and attention there so that there should be Our divine light. When
there was the fall of a small portion of divine light there and due
to this affect the mountain was shattered there and the Mosa
(A.S.) was there in condition of un-consciousness for a period of
411
three days on the mountain of Senai. Then he was heard a call “

Waqir Mosa saiqan”. “ Oh : Mosa (A.S.) did not We tell you that
you will not bear the power of the divine light.” Then there was
command of Allah that “Oh : Mosa (A.S.) you were becoming
un-conscious due to the little portion of Our divine light and you
have disclosed our secret. There will be Our many such slaves
who will born in the last days of the world and they will be in the
nation of prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) and for whom
there will be Our divine light of 1000 times daily, but they will
not exceed a little in this matter and they request further in this
matter as per “ Ana mustaq ela Habib”.
Afterward, he said “The fire of love is such that which will
only be settled in the heart of the Darwesh person and it will not
establish in other places. If the person of invocation of Allah will
a make sigh from his chest then all things which exist from the
east to west will be destroyed for this reason.”
The command of Allah to prophet Mosa (A.S.)
In this situation he said “Oh: Darwesh when there was a fall of

divine light on prophet Mosa (A.S.), then he was enlightened
with love of Allah.” Afterward, he said “When he was began
burning with the light of the love, then he was gone behind the
gold and silver, but both of them were not remained and burnt
down.” Then there was command of Allah came and in which he
was told “ If you will hide in 100,000 veils then all will be burnt
down. If you want to keep safe then beg for the dress from the
rag dress person and make veils for you which will be not burnt
down.” When he followed it, then even a thread of the rag dress
was not damaged and burnt in this matter.
The secrets and divine light

412
Afterward, the Sheikh began weeping and he said “ Oh:

Darwesh it should be clear that whatever there is in the existence
of the Darwesh and all that was created by the divine light. So
which is the reality, then how it will be burnt down.?” He also
said that “ The Darwesh persons were born by the following
things.”
1.The earth of the love
2. The divine light
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwish in the book Zad al-Muhbin it
was written that when Allah want to create the lovers in the world
of existence with his knowledge and power, then he saw the area
of the earth with his fondness and fervour, divine light and by the
look of secret of love and due to this reason that area of the earth
was begun shaking and, in the beginning, it was in the condition
of intoxication and it was began crying and made request as
follows.”
“The Lord of two worlds it is desirous of Your sight. From
that land the lovers of Allah were created. For this reason, there
will be a zeal of love to the Darwesh from their beginning to the
end of their lives and they will be always drowned in the river of
love.”
Afterward, he said “One lover of Allah used to say in his
hymens that oh : Lord of the worlds, if you will send him to hell
or burn him on the day of judgement, for the sake of your majesty
and honour, I will swear that I made a sigh at the door of the hell
at that time so which will swallow all fire of the hell and so it
will make the hell worthless. When he was asked “Oh : Khaja
what are you talking about this matter.? How the fire of the hell
will be swallowed.?” He told “Because against the fire of love if
there will be 100,000 fires will be there in the hell then if the
person of love will make a sigh from his chest then all will be
worthless due to this reason and there is no fire than the fire of
love which is faster than it.”
413
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwish, in the chest of the Darwesh

there is such type of fire is kept and from it, God forbid if one fire
particle of it will be leaving from there, then from empyrean to
the nether region all things will be destroyed by that fire.”
Afterward, he was reciting the following one couplet and its
“ In the chest of the lovers, there will be such great grief is
hidden there.”
He was used to reciting the above line of poetry and used to
become unconsciousness, and when he was gaining back his
conscious then he said “At the following three times the mercy of
Allah will be sent down.”
1. At the time of ecstasy on the persons in the meeting.
2. At the time of discussion about Darwish people.
3. At the time when the lovers will be drowned out in the
condition of the divine light.
In this situation he said “ Oh: Darwish, one time Khaja
Bakhtiar Oushi, Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori were engaged in the
meeting of the ecstasy. They're engaged there in one night and
day in it, but at the time prayer, they used to perform the prayer.
During this period he caught my hand and began flying and also
he was dancing there.” The Qasida (encomium) from which
ecstasy was started is as follows.”
Afterward, he said, “ Oh: Darwish once, he went to see one

Darwish, who was a man of status and who was in fondness and
fervour and due to grief and ecstasy he used to put his head every
time in prostration and he was used to standing up and he was
414
used to reciting the following couplet and its meaning and

interpretation is as follows.
“ This life and he himself belong to the lover and if there he will
posses 100,000 lives in his body, then he will sacrifice his lives
for the sake of his beloved.”
I began counting down that he was going into prostration for
1,000 times and every time he used to become un-conscious and
he was used to putting his head in the prostration.”
Saheb engaged himself in the invocation of Allah so for this
reason the well wisher and all other persons left from the
meeting place.
2.
The reality of Abid (worshipper) and the Darwesh
When the honour of kissing the feet of the Sheikh was available
to the well-wisher and in the meeting place Darwesh
Kamaluddin, the local ruler of Ajudhan and some other Darwish
were present there who were coming back from the visit of
Makkah in the meeting place. The Sheikh was told by his holy
tongue that “ Abid are called such persons whose Zaher
(manifest) and Batin (innermost) should be adorned with reality
and they should keep away from the following things in their
manifest and innermost.
1.Show
2.Greediness
3.Hatred
4.Impurity
And they should do sincerely for the sake of Allah and not
for the show of the mankind. Because Abid (worshipper), who do
415
worship for the sake of the show, then his innermost will be
spoiled. And his every worship will be returned back and throw
down on his face. But on the way of mystic it is possible that
there will be a disturbance in his faith for this reason.”
Afterward, he said “ There are such Abid persons are there and
whose manifest is well decorated and they do more worship to
show the mankind, but in the innermost they will not go near
friend.”
Four kinds of worshippers (Abid) persons
Afterward, he said “ There are four kinds of Abid persons.”

1.Their manifest is well with sincerity, but the innermost will be
not good.
2.Their manifest is not well with sincerity, but the innermost will
be good.
3.Their manifest and the innermost will be not good.
4.Their manifest and the innermost will be decorated with
sincerity.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish listens, the person whose
manifest is well decorated, but their innermost is not good and
they are such people who do much worship to show the mankind
and they like the mankind so much and they engage their hearts
in the world.”
An Abid (worshipper) person of Israeli nation
Afterward, he said “ Once in the Israeli nation, one Zahed

(mystics) worshipped for a period of 500 years and when he was
dying, then he was seen in the dream with the fire collar in his
head and the shackles of fire was on his feet. There was a fire was
burning around him and the angels were beating him with maces
to him and he was calling for the repentant. He was asked “You
were Zahed (mystic) and you have worshipped Allah for a period
416
of 500 years, then why is so such your situation with you there.?”
He said “ Oh: Muslim persons whatever he used to do the
worship of the show to the mankind only. In the innermost he was
engaged in the world. So for this reason his worship of 500 years
was rejected by Allah and was thrown down on his face and there
was command of Allah in this matter that this Zahed is deserved
for hard punishment so he should be punished severely.”
The Sheikh of Islam said “ Oh: Darwesh, then a second group
whose innermost is well decorated with sincerity, but they
manifestly are not found good with them and they are mad people
who are engaged with Allah in their innermost way but in their
manifest they do not have anything and no arrangements cannot
be seen with them.”
Afterward, he said “ The mad people used to engage in the
worship of Allah in such a way that nobody knows this matter.
Because nobody knows about their condition of the manifest.”
The disclosing of the secret of the Darwesh
Afterward, he said “ Once he was seen one mad person who

was in the condition of insanity for a period of 60 years, but he
was used to engaging in the worship of Allah to such extent that
there was prevail light on his face but he was un-aware of the
light. So I have seen him busy in the reading of the holy book in
one night. At that time there was light from him, which was
spreading from the empyrean to the veil of greatness. So I went
forward to get some share from that grace.” When he heard the
sound of my feet, then he turns towards me and he said “ Oh:
Darwesh as you have come to know his secret so keep it secret
with him and not disclose it.” He said this and he was looking at
the sky and he said: “ Oh: my Lord, as you have disclosed my
secret so now there is no place for him in this world.” And he was
still talking and he was dying suddenly there.
417
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwesh the people whose manifest

and the innermost is not good are general people of the world.
They do not have information about sincerity. But the people
whose innermost and manifest are decorated with sincerity are
Mashaiq (learned) people. And by chance if some sincerity will
be disclosed as a show, then, for this reason, they will engage
themselves in the endeavours until that time they will be free
from a show of that sincerity in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ The Mashaiq are such persons when
there will be condition prevail upon them, than if there will be an
attack of 100,000 of swords or if they will be cut into many
pieces then they do not have knowledge in this matter or they
know nothing about it.”
Afterward, he said “One person came to see one Darwesh and
paid him respect and requested him to remember him when on
him prevail the condition of the love of Allah with him. The
Darwesh smiled and he said to him, oh: person at that time and in
that condition, there is very much regret that if I will remember
you in that situation by leaving Allah there at that time.”
Afterward, he said Allah said in the Quran
“It means whatever there are doing in the world and at the day
of judgment, their body parts will witness in this matter.”
What is Darweshi (mysticism)?.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh, the Darwesh have made

themselves as dead persons in their lives in the world and they
kept themselves from all other things and shorten their hands so
that not to take the thing which is not suitable for him and made
their tongue dumb so that's not to say something which is not
418
suitable for him. And made the legs lame, so that not to go
somewhere which is not suitable for him. So those are such type
of people who are really having reached near the nearness and
due to the grace of Allah on the day judgement they will free from
the punishment.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he was seen one Darwesh in
Baghdad and he was engaged very much in the worship of Allah
and he was a person of grace, of Allah. Once he left the mosque
after Friday prayer and his eyesight was looking at one woman
there and he suddenly covered his two eyes with his hands and he
was beginning saying ‘Ya Gafur (The forgiving) Ya Gafur.’
In short, he came back to his house and he prayed “Oh: Lord of
the worlds the eyes, which you have seen you so do not allow the
eyes to see another thing. Still the Darewesh could not finish his
conversation than he was become blind and he prayed two Rakat
as thanksgiving in this matter and after the prayer he was sitting
there.” When the Sheikh of Islam was reached at this conversation
he was began weeping and he said “To look at the other thing
other than friend is shortsightedness.
Afterward that even some days have not passed and the
Darwesh person was heard something by his ears, which was not
suitable for him so immediately he put his two fingers in his ears
and he prayed with Allah that “ The ear, which was heard other
than Your name then that it is better the ears should become
dumb and suddenly he was become dumb.”
Afterward, he stood from there and he made fresh ablution and
he prayed two Rakat as thanksgiving in this matter and he said, “
Hoping that he will leave the world with faith because of his these
two things has been taking back from him.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was completed this narration he
began weeping and reciting one couplet many times and looked at
the sky and said “ Oh: Lord of the worlds I desire that I should
leave the world with faith. And he again he said if the people
419
leave the world with faith, then think that they have done some
work in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal was seen in the
laughing condition except at the time of agonies when the Satan
was standing at his bedside and he was in his great condition of
regret and sorry and he was saying to him that Oh: Imam Ahmed
you have saved your faith nicely from his hands and so, for this
reason, he was laughing at his last time and he said al-Hamadu-
lilah. (All praises to Allah) and he is taking away his faith with
him.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh :Darwish,one time he and his
brother Maulana Bahuddin Zakaria were sitting at one place
together and we were busy in the discussion about the mysticism.
After some time my brother Maulana Bahuddin Zakaria was
standing there and he was began weeping and making a loud cry
there and he said “ Inna ilahi rajigun”. So he asked with him
“What is this condition.?.” He told me “ To stand and see.” When
I was standing and come to see and it was known to him that the
funeral of Saduddin Hamuya was passing from the gate of
Baghdad city and it was going towards the grand mosque in
Baghdad and the funeral prayer was being performed there.
The miracle of a holy person
Afterward, he said, “ Oh: Darwish, once he was entered in the

limits of Lahore City as a traveler there. There was a Darwesh
there who was perfect in revelation and secrets and who used to
spend his life on the agriculture and no government agency did
not collect the land revenue from him. Once one un-kind person
was appointed there as a local ruler and who asked from him the
land revenue. He told him “ You have benefited from the crop
of the land for many years, but you are not paying the land
revenue. Either to pay the land revenue or show you any miracle
420
in this matter?.” The Darwish told him that “ He is an indigent

person and he is not related to the miracle.” But the ruler did not
accept his views and he was insisting on his own demand. So after
some time he said him after disgusting upon this thing that “
What miracle did he want from him.?” He told him, “If you
possess the miracle with you then he should walk on the water.”
The Darwish puts his legs on the water and crossed the river to
the dry land. From the other side of the river, he was requested for
the boat to cross the river and come back to his place. So the
people asked him “Why he did not come back in the same way
which he was crossing the river first.” He said, “ There should be
no pride in the mind.”
The questioning of the dead person with Ali bin Ali Taleb
(R.A.)
Afterward, he said on the day when Abdul Rahman Maljum

tried to follow Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.) to kill. So Ali Ibn Ali
Taleb (R.A.) was coming down to the bank of a river upon
passing from the village. He was looking at the graveyard which
was near there and he called the name of the somebody and he
was received replies from the graveyard “ Welcome oh: Ali.” Ali
asked him “Where there is the river water is at the leg level
there.?.” The dead person told that “ level of the river is available
where you are standing.” So he crossed the river in this way.
Maljum came and told him “ You know the name of the dead
person and his father, but you do not know the place of low level
of the river” He told him that “He knows well in this matter, but
as the mind will become bold and fondness so he asked it with
the dead person.”
Who is a perfect Darwesh person ?

421
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam said “ Oh : Darwish when any

friend able to get full knowledge of the wealth of the secrets of
the friend then in that case if there he will say some secret by his
tongue then there is not objectionable in this matter. Because
when there is no place for him so where he will put it so it is the
condition of the pious perfect Darwesh persons. But that person
who will disclose secrets in the beginning period due to
overwhelming of fondness then it is wrong. Because up to the
limit of its safety, he should take care to keep it safe. But yes, if
will be more of the secrets then he should disclose some of it so
for this reason some people of mystics forgive him in this matter
and allow this act as legal.”
Afterward, he said “ The heart of the Momin (faithful) person is
like pure earth, so if there will be a sowing of the seed of love is
there then there will be many kinds of graces will be created
there. So from it you can share with the other people and also it
will be enough for the Darwesh person.”
Afterward, he said, “Unless you will not involve shedding of
the skin the like snake then you will not become true in the claim
of love of the reality.”
Afterward, he said “ The complete Darwesh person is such
one who will not require anything but when he will receive of the
graces of the secrets from which he will share with it other
people and fulfil the needs of the person one who visit him and
return them to this matter. But one who is claimant of the
Darweshi and who will visit the king and richest person for the
sake of money to fulfil his needs then think that he is not having
grace with him. If he will possess something with him, then he
will not reach the doors of the mankind and he will not expect
from others. Where there will be reach the feet of the Darweshi
then there will be no reach of access by other persons. Because on
the Darwesh persons the door of the graces will be opened for
them and they will have possession of the treasury of the
kingdoms, so they spend it for the livelihood of the Darwesh
422
persons as per their will and desire and so they are not depending
on the others in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ When the Derwesh person gets such
status, then he can see all things of the earth to the empyrean and
in everything which will be sent down from Allah in which they
have reached in it. ”Afterward, he said “ As such the condition is
there for holy persons like the condition of the prophets of
Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori who writes in
a history book that the conditions of Darwesh persons depend
upon due to an excess of love of the reality and its fondness.
When there will be overwhelming of the love of the friend then he
will be busy, very much in the divine light of the friend and for
this reason, he will be unaware of the remembrance of the
mankind.”
Afterward, he said with his holy tongue that “Khaaja Imam
Ghazali, who wrote in his history book that once there was
condition prevailed upon the prophet of Allah so he went out of
Madina into a garden in which there was well. He sat near the
well while putting his legs on the inside of the wall. He was in the
condition of amazement. At that time Abu Musa Ashari was with
him. He told him if any companion will come there to see then do
not allow them to enter there without his permission. When Abu
Baker (R.A.) and Omer bin Qattab (R.A.) came there so he was
informed his in this matter. The prophet asked to allow them to
enter and sit on his right side.Then Usman (R.A.) and Ali bin Abu
Talib (R.A.) came there and he informed them in this matter. So
he was given permission to sit on his right side and they sat there
for a long period. The prophet was sitting there in such
condition.” Afterward the prophet told them, “ Oh : friends as we
have sat here together in our lives, then also in another world we
will sit together there. So our end will like this and we all will be
in the heaven in togetherness.” Upon this the companions stood
there and paid respect to him in this matter.”
423
Afterward, the prophet said “ The heaven is in his sight in

which I am watching a palace there which was created from a
single piece of ruby and near that palace there are four palaces
are there. When I was asked the palaces to whom belongs. He
was informed that one palace for him and the four palaces belong
to his four friends so I was overjoyed in this matter and told to all
of you that we will live together in the other world.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “ The conditions are like
such that when any person of secret busy in it, then he will be
drowned in that condition.”
Afterward, he said “ When he was busy in the secret of the
friend then at that time it is sure that any of the matter of the
friend will be reveal upon him. When my conversation heard by
brother Bahauddin Zakaria then he did not like it. He immediately
looked at me and he told me. Oh: Darwish what mistake you are
doing in this matter.? That you are revealing the secrets of reality.
And this matter is not good for the people of a secret.”
I have written him that “ Oh: brother the work left from talking
and my chest is full with the secret of the friend so, for this
reason, there is no little space available to fill the secret there. As
a matter of fact, if there is no space available there so for this
reason when with the world of light, of the secret of the friend
will come down there and due to very much of it will fall down
from there. So, brother, I try my best to protect it and want not
able to disclose it a little, but in this matter he is not successful in
it. So tell me what should I do in this matter.? When this letter
was reached in his hand, then he put his head down and he said
our friend was completing his work to its end.”
After this narration the Sheikh of Islam made a slogan he was
becoming unconscious and he was in this condition for two days
and nights and he was found on the prayer mat and there was not
known about this condition to him in this matter. When he was
becoming conscious then he was standing and looked at the sky
and he recited the following Persian couplet.
424
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwish once one person came from

Multan and he said he was in the service of Sheikh Bahauddin
Zakaria and one day there condition was prevailed upon him and
he was with him there so riding on the horse and wandered around
Multan and it was proclaimed in the Multan City that “ One who
will see the face of the Bahauddin then he will not be sent to the
hell for which he will guarantee in this matter.” So for this reason
a large number of Muslims gathered there to watch his face in this
matter so by swearing he said to them that they will not be sent
to the hell. Because it was said to him that those who will look his
face today then he will not sent to the hell.”When that person was
ended, his narration then upon me the condition was prevailed so
I said “ Oh : Darwish if Bahauddin was said that if one who will
see his face will not be sent to the hell, then now by swearing I
will say that in the world, one who pledge to me or shake his hand
with him or who hold the hands of my sons, or pledge to my
disciples, to pledge to my lineage, then he will never go to the
hell. Because my spiritual master Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki once told
him that “ Oh: Farid Allah will grant you such position that
person one who will become your disciple or disciple of your
sons or disciples of your disciples or one who will become
disciples of his lineage then he will not be sent to the hell. And he
will not send surely to hell.” Also he heard this call 1000 times
that “ Farid Ajudhani is a pious person.” When the Sheikh of
Islam ended this narration then he stood in the condition of
surprise and I was with him. He was busying himself in seven
425
days and nights in the condition of surprise and he did not eat and
drink during the above period. When he was returned back in the
normal condition than he himself was engaged in the sincerity.

The sustenance
When the honour of kissing the feet of the Sheikh was

available to the well wisher and in the meeting the discussion
about sustenance was started. He was told by his holy tongue that
“ Oh : Darwesh in the Shariat (Islamic law) and Tariqat (mystic
path) the true person is one who not love the sustenance. But he
should with large hearted-ness engage sincerely in the worship of
Allah. He should know the reality in this matter that whatever
which is written in his fate will be given by Allah to him and there
will be nothing, less or more in this matter and so such portion of
his sustenance as per fate will be given to him to him. So oh :
Darwesh person if you try for it and wander here and there for
many years, but the sustenance which is written in your fate will
be given to you without your endeavours and demand in this
matter. If you demand a little more, but you will not get it. Oh:
Darwesh on the way of the indigence such person is firmly one
who doesn't take an interest towards his sustenance and he should
not think today I have eaten, but he will eat tomorrow.? The
people of mystical way call them as follows.”
1.Unfaithful
2.Dishonest
The people of mysticism said that “The death of the man,
which is written on the shoulder of the man and the death will
chase the man and in the same way, the sustenance which is
written on the shoulder of the man, which will also chase a man
so it searches a man and where-ever the man, goes and it run
behind him. If he sits then it also sits there.”
426
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwesh be free from the thinking of

sustenance as your sustenance is written on your shoulder. So you
with wholeheartedness should engage in the work of Allah.
Because whatever written in your fate surely will be given to you
by Allah.”
Afterward, he said “You should become a person of Allah so
that whatever things there is in control of Allah then will
demand you. Because in the book Asar Auliya it was written that
when one Muslim will demand the world, then it will not then it
will not reach near him. From him the world will run away as
from the Muslim will run away from unclean thing. When one
who will demand Allah and then he will not demand from the
world, the world will run behind him with 1000 desires but he
will not look at him. But he will run away from like Muslim will
run away from the unclean things.”
The excellence of Sadqa (charity) and generosity
Afterward, he said “ The prophet said “ Al-duniya al-mazra

akhira” it means this world is the place of the cultivation of
another world. So it means that in this world we should give
Sadqa (charity), Zakat (Islamic tax) and show generosity so that
we should sow this for reaping the fruits. Because in this world,
there is nothing which is not more than charity and generosity.
Everyone was successful in the works with the help of charity and
generosity.
As per the fate everything will be available
Afterward, he said “ The trusted persons are free from the care
of sustenance so they have freedom from care and doubt in this
matter.”
Afterward, he said “ The people of mysticism when they see
any person who is worried for the sustenance, then they give the
427
order to the Darwesh to remove him from the shrine by holding

his neck because such person is unbelieving Darwesh and he has
not having the truth with him.”
Afterward, he said “ He heard from a holy person that it is also
a big sin to worry for the sustenance that today he was eating, but
to think what he will get tomorrow or not,?”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh if the one who will be
wandering here and there for the sustenance for a period of 100
years and if he will demand more or less than his fate then he
will not get it.”
Afterward, he said “ One person wandered here and there for
the obtaining of the sustenance and he was visited from one city
to another place, but his sustenance was not increased at less than
his fate. When he was come back to his place, then his condition
was very bad. The people asked him what is your condition.? He
said, “ Oh Muslim, he visited many places for the purpose of
increase of his sustenance but he could not get more than what it
was written in his fate.”
The Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he was reciting the
following couplet.
Afterward, one Derwesh person asked the permission to recite

some couplets and the Sheikh said “ Yes” so he was reciting the
following couplets.
Afterward, he said “Oh : Darwesh if one who try for 100 years
to enhance of the sustenance, then he will not get more than his
fate. So in all conditions and in all works one should be true.
Some unwise persons used to say that if they will migrate to other
city than it was possible for him to get enhancement of the
sustenance. So it is their big sin and un-truthfulness in this matter
428
and if one who think like this. This is their worst thinking which
will keep them in worse condition. So: Darwesh where you will
go you will find the Allah everywhere and He will not change
anywhere and whatever He was kept written by Him will be sent
to you.”
Afterward, he said in this situation “Once one person wants to
leave his place due to disgust with his sustenance and he went to
see one pious person at the time leaving so that holy person asked
why he is leaving his place and where he will go.?” He said “He
was leaving this city so that there will be an improvement in
sustenance.” That pious person told him “ To convey his Salam to
the God of that city.” So he was surprised and asked him”
and he asked “ Whether there is different, God is available there.
As God is only one.” That pious person told him, “Oh: unwise
person when do you know that everywhere there is one God, then
do you not know that in every city your fate will be same. Go
busy yourself with wholeheartedness in the worship of Allah,
then see what the grace of Allah will be available to you.”
Afterward, he said “ One holy person was there and who was
starved for a period of 12 days and due to worry about this
problem his children told him either bring food for them or kill
them so that he will be free this problem.” He told them, “ Be
patient for today and he will go for labour work on tomorrow.” So
that person left his house upon doing ablution and went to the
jungle and he was busies himself in the worship of Allah there.
He came back to the house at the time of Asar prayer (later
afternoon prayer). His children caught his edge of the shirt and
asked with him have he had brought something for them ?. So he
told them “To abide in this matter that the person where he do
labour work told him that tomorrow he will give him two days
wages together.” So the children made huge, loud and cry in this
matter. And the children told him that “ Oh: unkind father we are
dying due to the starvation, but you are not arranging food for
them.” Next day the Darwesh promised the children and he went
429
to the jungle and he was busies himself in the worship of Allah

there. At that time there was command of Allah to the angles to
send the following things to house of Darwesh personality.
1. 2 kilograms of the flour
2. Some quantity of the honey in the cup
3. 2,000 gold coins
And also in the command of Allah it was told to tell the
children of Darwesh that the man was sent all these things where
their father is working for two days and ask them to tell Darwesh
that if he will not do any carelessness in his work then we will
also not decrease his wages. When Darwish came back to his
house he has seen that the kitchen was hot at that time and there
was an atmosphere of happiness which prevailed there. The
children came to see him and hugged him with happiness and they
described all details in this matter. Then Darwish made a slogan
and he said “Allah kindest to us a hundred percent if we will be
firmed in his work.”
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwesh one who does worship with
wholeheartedness and he will not doubt about the sustenance of
his fate, then Allah will send him sustenance like the above
Darwesh.”
In this situation he said “ The love of reality is such pearl that
and its cost is not known to the jeweler or other person who
knowing the worth of the things.”
Afterward, he said “Such a great grace was not available to
any angel of nearness and it is given to the man only. As per
saying of Allah as follows.”
“ Wa laqad karmana Bani Adama.” When the love created and it
was commanded him, “ Oh: love to go settle down in the hearts
of sorrowful persons because such place is for you only. ”
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam recited the following couplet
of Rubai (quatrain) due to overwhelming of fondness.
430
The creation of love
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh when Allah was created

love and on that day he was also created many 100,000 chains
and fibers and there was called the souls of Momin (faithful)
persons, then there was a command to the angles to bring the love
with thousand whims and miracles before the souls. The souls
which were suitable for the love came forward and put their hands
on the threads of love and the chains of the affection and in the
first dome they were drowned in the river of love. Their names
and signs vanished away and those were the souls of the
following persons.
1.The prophets
2.The holy persons
3.The lovers
Some souls were drowned which belonged to the people of the
world of love who first turn towards the love of worldly and then
they come for the love of reality then they able to know about
reality. Then the Sheikh of Islam began weeping and recite the
couplet of follow Rubai (quatrain)
At that time one person who was present there and who
recited one couplet of Imam Ghazali which is as follows.
Then the Sheikh of Islam said “ The fondness and chanting

of the lovers will be there from beginning to the ending time. That
is existing from that day when they become lover of the face of
the love. So oh : Darwesh you do not know its value that in your
heart such a beautiful grace is there and the soul is the king of all
parts of the body and upon its creation it was given to the heart.
431
For this reason where there is love, there a heart is available. The
persons know its importance in whose heart there is secrets of
friends and light of love is available there.
The kinds of sustenance
In this situation he said “The categories of Mashaiq (learned

person) classified sustenance into four kinds.
1. Riziq Maqsum
2. Riziq Mazmum
3. Riziq Mamluk
4. Riziq Maud
1.The Riziq Maqsum is that which is written in the fate and it is

available on the tablet and which surely available to all.
2. The Riziq Mazmum is that whatever one who get for eating and
drinking, then he will not be patient with it and as for this Allah is
guaranteed in this matter and Allah promised in the holy Quran “
Wama min dabati fil arze illahi aizqaha.” So why they did not
patient in this matter. So what is meant in this matter.
3. The Riziq Mamluk is that in which cash and other sources are
accumulated for doing the commercial activity. But in it there
will be the grace of Allah will be available there and with which
there will available power. But oh :Darwesh, the people of
mystic persons of this way said “The person who is in such
business he did not ignore about the kindness and favour of Allah
in this matter. But for Darwesh it is better that whatever he will
get cash and sources, then he should spend on the way of Allah
and he should keep a little with him.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the Maud Raziq is such
sustenance which is promised by Allah with pious and Abid
(worshipper) persons. In the holy Quran, Allah says “ Waman
yataq laha yajal lahu makherijan warizqahu min haisu ya
432
hahtasab.” It means the holy persons should be free from the

endeavours of sustenance. Because there is a promise of Allah for
them that they will get sustenance without their demand and their
needs will be fulfilled.
There is no doubt that Allah is Al-Razzaaq (The Sustainer)
Afterward, he said “Once he arrived Suistan as a traveler there.

There were some Darwesh with him there. There was one Dervish
who was busy in the worship of Allah in the cave which was
situated outside of the city. When he reached there he finished
reading of the Quran and then he busied himself in the worship
there for a long period. Then he started this narration that “ Oh
dear persons he was busy in his travels for a period of 20 years.
Once he reached to a holy person who was used to live in the
mountains in the forest area and where even the birds could not
enter there. So there came an idea into his mind that from where
he used to get his food in the jungle area. When this thought came
into his mind then that holy person told me, “ Oh: Darwesh you
are surprised for the food. Perhaps you did not believe that Allah
is the Sustainer. Allah says in the holy Quran “ Enna Lahu huwa
Razaq quwatal matin.” “It means Oh: slaves, whether you live in
the jungle or in habitation you will sure you will get whatever
there is written in your fate” Then he asked to sit there and see the
divine work in this matter. When the holy person said this so I
was shivering in this matter. He asked to me broke the stone
which kept him there. When I broke it and if found that there was
one insect in the stone in its mouth there one green leaf was there.
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwesh the one who will provide
food to the insect in the stone did not He will not give him his
food as per his fate.” I spent the night with him there. At the time
of breaking fast one person came there with his two breads and
some sweets with him and he put these things before Darwesh and
paid respect and left from there. When he was completing his
433
reading the holy book, then he was asked him to come near him
and eat the food and said to me that “ You used to think that from
where I will get food.? See that Allah will provide sustenance in
this way.” At the other day at the morning time I was paid respect
to him and left from his place.” So oh: Darwesh the thing which
Darwesh told me for which I was paid full attention for it and he
was settled down there and since the period of 3o years, he is
living there and he is getting his sustenance by divine source and
also those who come there to see him will get sustenance here.”
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam said “At the evening time
myself and other Darwesh persons were performed the prayer
together there. After the prayer one person came there with one
cloth for eating food provision and he kept it before that holy
person and we have eat full of our stomach but there was no
decrease in the quantity of food provision. Then that holy person
strikes his leg on the ground so there water spring was appearing.
When we drank water, then the cloth of eating of food provision
was vanished away from there. When at the time of the break of
day when I bid him goodbye from there, then I saw one of his
hand was not there with him. So I was surprised in this matter that
what is wisdom in this matter.? When this thought came into my
mind, then that holy person told me that “Oh: dear persons once
he went outside from here before the prayer for the fresh
ablution and find one Dinar was there and my mind desired it to
take it. So it was reached there from the divine world and
belongs to sustenance. When I began to take it, then I heard a
divine call in which it said “Oh: false claimant. Is your trust and
Our promise is this.? Which you have made by w Us. And so
while seeing one Dinar you want to take it. May you have
forgotten Us in between this.” When I heard this I was taking one
knife which was lying there and cut the hand with that knife and it
was thrown out of this place. The hand which took anything
without the willingness of the Allah is better it should be cut from
the body. So the dear persons since 20 years he could not see the
434
sky due to shame and feeling of guilt and he used to say that oh:
what he was done in this matter.?”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “ The brave man is that one
who will not leave a little the way of Allah and he should not
worry for the sustenance.”
The reality of trust
Afterward, he narrated this event that “ Once some Fakirs

(Darwesh) went outside of their place to visit the Holy Kaaba in
Makkah for the matter of trust and they said that they will not
disclose the secrets of their hearts to anybody and they should not
demand anything from anybody.
In short when they have reached in the jungle and there was no
human population was not available there, but there was
available one water spring there and where they made ablution
and prayed two Rakat there. At that time they have seen that
prophet Khzier (A.S.) came there with some bread of barley. All
have approached towards him happily on this matter, and they
have thanked Allah that they were able to see him there. Another
thing was that they were hungry and they got food from him.
When this thought came into their mind, then a divinely called
was heard in which it was told oh: bad convent people have you
made convent with Us? ” And at that time one sword was coming
there and cut their heads.
The Sheikh of Islam said “Oh: Darwesh person, one who
will break the convent and who is not firm on the trust then he
will punish in this way. Then be began weeping and recited the
following couplet which he was heard from Qazi Hameed Nagori
at the bank of the Shamsi reservoir as follows.
The start of the love

435
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the love was started by

prophet Adam (A.S.) and when it was created in the world, then
he was shown the grace of the love so he was become a lover of
it. So oh: Darwesh so it was all due to the gesture of the love. He
kicked on the gallery of the paradise and he came out of there as a
mad person. He was made to accept in the ruins of the world. But
he has committed mistake in this matter. So there was a command
to the angels that “ Oh: angels he want to create comforter for
Adam (A.S.) so that he can love with his partner otherwise he
will not tolerate and he will be killed in this matter.” The angels
went into prostration and they said: “ Whatever you know we will
not know in this matter you are Our Lord we obey Your
command.” Then there was the command “ Oh: angels see how
we will create the friend of Adam (A.S.).” The prophet Adam
(A.S.) was sitting lonely there and Eva (A.S.) was created from
his rib. She said Salam to him and she sat near him. So prophet
Adam (A.S.) asked her “Who is she.?” And Eva (A.S.) told him
that “ She is his partner and from her he will get satisfaction.”
Then the Sheikh of Islam said, “ Oh: Darwesh the loud and
cry of the real lover will be there unless he will not reach his final
destination and if he will find the beloved then there will be no
loud and cry in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “He remembered one couplet of Sheikh
Bahauddin Bukhari who was a great lover of the reality and who
said this in his fondess and overwhelming of his love as follows.
In this situation he said “ He heard Rubai (quatrain) from Qazi

Hameeduddin Nagori who said this on his fondness and
overwhelming of his love of reality as follows.
436
The trust and the sustenance of the fate
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam said “ The trust is available only

in the sustenance of the fate. Because you know that whatever
there is written sustenance in your fate you will get it. But it is not
such in other kinds of substances. The sustenance of Mamlok in
which there is trust available. In the sustenance of Maud also
there is no trust available because of the sustenance which is
promised will be given to the person. But if there is trust in the
sustenance of the fate, then it is legal in it. So in this matter, one
should think that whatever written in fate that sustenance will be
given to him.
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwesh in the other kinds of
substances the ancient persons could not trust in this matter.
Because some have trusted for a period of 20 years, some have
trusted for a period of 10 years and they lived their lives free from
the world.”
Afterward, he said “Oh: Darwesh, Khaja Ibrahim Adham was
spending his life for a period of 50 years on the trust of Allah and
he was away from the mankind in this matter and during this
period he was not allowed anybody to come near to him. If
anybody will bring something for him, then he used to return him
437
from the door and he was used to telling him that he is a slave of
Allah and whatever is his sustenance which will be given to him.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh, Sheikh Bakhtiar use to live
in the service of the Sheikh Moinuddin Chisti and during this
period he was not seen that he did not allow anybody to come
near to him. But when there will be nothing available in the
public kitchen, then one servant use to go and stand before him.
Then Khaja Moinuddin used to lift the prayer mat ask the servant
to take the requirement of cash, which is enough for today and
tomorrow. For the entire year, he was used to following this
method. If any traveler comes there and asks then he will use to
give him whatever as per his demand in this matter. At the time of
the farewell time, he used to put his hand under the prayer mat
and used to give him whatever is available there.”
Afterward, he said “One who claim for the friendship and
love of Allah then he will become Darwesh in this matter. Then
he should follow the trust and be firm in it. If he keeps hope from
the mankind other than Allah then do not think him as a
Darwish person.”
Saheb went inside of the house so, for this reason, the well wisher
4
The reality of repentance
When the honour of kissing the feet was available and many
people were available in the mosque, then Moulana Bederidden
and Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi came over there and after
shaking the hands they sat there.
Kinds of repentances
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam said there are six kinds of

repentance as follows.
438
1. Repentance of heart and tongue

2. Repentance by the eye
3. Repentance by the ear
4. Repentance by the hand
5. Repentance by the feet
6. Repentance by the soul
The Sheikh explained details of all the above repentance in this

matter.
1.When the heart doesn't certify the repentance and the tongue
will not accept then such repentance is not useful. Because when
the heart will not be free from the following things and if there
will be no true repentance in this matter, then such repentance is
not termed as repentance.
1. Friendship of love of the world
2. Bad
3. Greediness
4. Grief
5. Obscenity
6. Show
7. Evil
For example, one person is doing sin and at the same time he is
asking for repentance, then his repentance is not termed as
repentance. He is doing sin as per the desire of his soul and he
talks about repentance. So how this will be right.? Unless he will
not clear, his heart, of this matter then his repentance will not be
right. Because in the holy Quran it is mentioned: “ Oh: people of
faith do repentance certainly, but do such repentance, not only
from his heart by his tongue.” This repentance of Nassau is
known as repentance of heart. When one who does this
repentance, then he should come back towards Allah. When the
heart will be clear from the defects of the world, then the
repentance will be accepted and that person will be equal to a
439
pious person. As per the saying one who repents, then he will
become such person as he did not do any sin. So in this condition
the penitent and pious will be become equal in the status.
The repentance is required from the heart and if it has done
100, 000 by tongue but unless it is not certified by the heart then it
is not becoming right. When it is accepted by the tongue, then it
should be certified by the heart.
Afterward, he said “Some person does repentance of the heart,
but they their heart like the bad deeds. The patient does
repentance from the morning to evening time and when the illness
will be over then he will fall in the forgetfulness and carelessness
and they will not remember their repentance by chance also.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he
recited one Rubai (quatrain) and he said “ It should require
repents before the death.” Then he was narrating this event that
when Basher Hafiz was asked what was the reason of his
repentance.? He said “ Once he was sitting in the wine shop and
he heard a divine call there Oh: Basher does repentance before
death.?”. And when he heard this call then he was repentance in
this matter. Then he was not going near the sins and for this
reason, Allah granted him such a higher position and status.”
Afterward, he said “ When the man will clear his three hearts
from the defects of the words and do repentance in this matter.It
means from his hearts if there will be smell available to other
person's mind then understand that person's repentance is
repentance of Nassau (sincere). Regarding the other three hearts
Ali Ibn Taleb (A.S.) defined it as follows. There are three kinds.
1. Salim
2. Munib
3. Shahid
The heart of Salim is that in which there should be nothing
except the knowledge of Allah.
The heart Munib is such that which repentance from all things
and should come towards Allah.
440
The heart Shahid is that who observe Allah in all things.

Afterward, when he said “ These three things will create in
his heart and if he will be firm with them, then really it is known
in this matter that his heart was becoming Salim, Munib and
Shahid. So his repentance is becoming repentant of Nassau
(sincere). If the heart is still involved in worldly endeavours, lust,
inclined in this matter, then think that his heart is dead. If it is
clear from all these things, then he will be alive for eternity to end
of the world.”
The veil between the man and Allah
The reason of the veil between the man and Allah is due to
filth. When the filth is clear then he should clear him by the
repentance, then the veil will be removed. This is called the
endeavours of clearance of filth of the hearts. So one should
clear, his heart from lust and desires so that the veil which is
there in between should not be there. So that there should be an
available taste of observation and revelation and one should
attain position and status.
Afterward, he said “ Oh : Darwesh you have heard the
repentance of the heart and now hear the repentance of the tongue.
The repentance of the tongue is that upon this repentance, one
who keeps away from the bad talking and do not talk absurd
talking and one who keeps away from un-necessary talking. The
second condition is to make fresh ablution and pray two Rakat
prayer of thanks and to sit in the direction of Qibla (the direction
in which Muslims turn in the prayer) and pray as follows.”
“ Oh: Allah grant repentance to my tongue from saying bad
talking and except Your invocation , nothing should be come on
my tongue in which there are no Your willingness is there and
keep it away from saying such things.”
At the time day break all parts of the body say to the tongue “
Oh: tongue if you will not protect yourself then we will be killed.”
441
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Hatim Asam was told on

uncivilised matter so he was pressed hard his tongue so much that
there was a discharge of the blood from it and afterward he was
promised that till his life he will not talk to anybody.So for one
absurd talking he, didn't talk to anybody for the period of 20
years.”
Afterward, he said “ In the meeting place one person who was
realized the reality was sitting there and he was asked about one
person whether that person came.? Upon this he thought in his
mind that he was talking this instead of the invocation of Allah
and for this expiation, he will not talk with body for a period of 30
years.”
Afterward, he said “ He was heard by the tongue of Khaja
Hameeduddin Nagori that he was seen one Darwesh who has
realized the reality and who was busy in the invocation of Allah.
He was with him for a period, of 10 years, but during this period
he has not heard any un-necessary talking with him. But one thing
he was heard from him that he said: “Oh: Darwesh if you want to
take a safety in the other world, then protect you from absurd
talking and upon saying this he was pressed hard his tongue so
much that there was a discharge of the blood from it.” He said to
him that “ This matter is not proper for him to say to him”. So
for this he will not talk for a period of 20 years.”
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam said “Oh : Darwish when
Allah wants to put the tongue in prophet Adam’s (A.S.) mouth
and then he told the tongue, “Oh: tongue sees it that with your
creation, there is a special purpose in this matter that you should
not call another name except My name and should not recite
another talk except His talk. If you do other than this then
remember that you and all other parts of the body will face
problems in this matter.” So oh Darwesh the tongue was made for
the following things.
1. Ziker (Invocation)
2. For reading of the holy Quran
442
The group of Mashaiq (learned persons) written that in every

human part of the body there are desire and lust is there and
which is the cause of veil and problems in this matter. Unless one
should not repent from lust and desires, then he will not clear all
his parts so, then he will not get the position and status.
Afterward, he said “ The details of the parts are as follows.
First is the soul in which it is kept lusting.
Second the eyes in which it is kept the desire of seeing.
Third the ears in which it is kept the desire of hearing.
Fourth the nose in which it is kept the desire of smell and sneeze.
Fifth the hand in which it is kept the desire of holding and touch.
Sixth the tongue in which it is kept the desire of praising.
Seventh the heart in which it is kept there is pain.
So the person who demands Allah, then he should repent of all
these things so that Allah will hear him in this matter and who
say He will make him respectable among the mankind by His
wisdom to the one who will be take away his heart from the love
of the world. One who will keep the soul from sight of other
things. So He will make him respectable due to ignoring of the
sins and one who will forget all things except Him and then He
will make him respectable on the day of judgment.”
The following of heart and the tongue
Afterward, he said “When from the world of light there will
be a fall of the secrets of the divine light and the lights will fall
on the heart first. When the tongue and heart will work together
then there will be lights of love will be there. If there will be no
togetherness of the tongue and heart, then the light of the love will
leave from there and settle on the place where there are
togetherness of the heart and tongue will be found.”
Afterward, he said “ When one person of whom realized the
reality was asked who is firm in the love of reality?.” He said
“Where there is togetherness of heart and tongue is found.
Because first, the love of reality is found in the heart, then on the
tongue. When the heart and the tongue will become together in
443
the of love, then that love will become the reality of love. The
tongue is king of all parts of the body. When the tongue is safe
then all parts of the body are in the safety. So it is well known
saying is that when the king will do disturb in the religion then
there will be a problem for all people of the kingdom. When the
king is safe then all affairs of the kingdom will run in the safety
manner. So: Darwish ear, eyes, soul, and all other seven parts of
the body are under the control of the tongue. So if the tongue is
safe then all parts of the body are in safety condition.”
Second the repentance of the eye, for this repentance there is a
condition of taking bath in this matter and pray two Rakat and sit
in the direction of Qibla (the direction in which Muslims turn in
prayer) and to raise two hands and said “ Oh: Lord of the worlds
I will repent of all things which are prohibited by You. Next time
I will not see such things which are prohibited by You. I will see
such things which are only legal and afterward protect the eyes
from seeing the prohibited things.” This is repentance of the eyes
because this is such thing with which the condition of the grace
of presence will be available. The eyes are such things with
which the people are involved in the problem and difficulties. So
oh: Derwesh the first condition of love is available in the eyes.
The people should try to do such work in which there is available
the grace of observation and so they should not see other than
Allah.”
Afterward, he said “Prophet Dawood (A.S.) was seen the
prohibited thing so, for this reason, he was weeping for a period
of 300 years. Then there came the command of Allah “ Oh:
Dawood why you are weeping?.” He said “ What did he say in
this matter.” He said “The eyes were put him on the problem. As
this mistake in the eyes. So for this reason, the eyes should be
given punishment in this matter. Because the eyes were seen the
prohibited thing.”
444
Afterward, he said “ Prophet Shoeb (A.S.) wept so much that

his eyes were becoming blind. When he asked the reason in this
matter, then he said for the following two reasons”.
First that he was seeing the prohibited thing.
Second that the eyes which were seen the grace of the friend
so it is regret for him to see another thing. If he will see another
thing, then it is better for him to become blind. So that on the day
of judgement when he will become alive then he should see the
grace of the friend. After the above event, he lived for a period of
60 years but nobody was not seen while opening his eyes.”
After he said “In the love of Allah, such person is true in whose
eyes there will be antimony of the of reality is available, then he
should close his eyes and he should not see towards the un-related
things and on the day of judgment only he would see the divine
light.On that day if the friend will request him to open his eyes
then he should open his eyes.”
The repentance of the eyes
Afterward, he said “ There are three kinds of repentance of

the eyes.
1.To see the prohibited things.
2.If some other person backbite another Muslim brother and see
something then he should repent in this matter that why he had
seen such thing.
3.If eyes see something then he should say this to another person.
Afterward, he said “ The repentance of the ears is that it should
not listen to bad things and not listen the prohibited things, then
his repentance will become repentant in this matter.”
After this he said “ The power of giving hearing, which is
given by Allah so he should engage himself in the invocation of
Allah and also where there is recitation of Quran available then he
should hear it. It is not given for the following things.
1. Bad deeds
445
2. Joking
3. Singing
For the above, there is information available on this matter
that on the day of judgment the metal lead will be melted there
and will be put in the ears of the persons one who hears the above
sounds.”
The repentance of the ears
Afterward, he said “ Once Abdullah Khafif was going on the

way and he was heard illegitimate talking so he put his two
fingers in ears and went back to his house and he was asked to
bring melted lead and when it was brought there, then he asked to
put it in his ears because he heard some bad things so that on the
day of judgment he will be free in this matter. So today he is
making expiation for it. So oh: Darwish, Darwish were tried to
keep themselves away from the mankind and adopted loneliness.
So that they should be safe from hearing about bad things.”
The repentance of the hands
In this connection he said “ Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki was seen one

Darvish in Badakshan and who was among holy persons and his
name was Sheikh Burhanuddin and his one hand was cut off and
he was resting in the hut for a period 30 years there in the
condition of Etekaf (retirement of continued prayer). When he
was asked about his cutting of the hand, then he said once he was
present at the meeting and without the permission of the owner of
the meeting place he was cut one grain of the wheat into two
parts.So there was heard a divine call in which he was said “
Oh:Darwish what act you have done.? Without the permission of
the owner you did two pieces of one grain of the wheat. When he
heard this call then he cut his hand and thrown it out for this
446
reason. So that again, he should not hold any things which is not
suitable to hold in this matter.”
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam began weeping and he said
“The people of Allah will do such things and will obtain status
and position in this way.”
The repentance of the legs
Afterward, he said “ The fifth repentance of legs and in which

one should not go to the places which are not suitable and should
not put his leg for the fulfillment of his desire there so that the
repentance should be termed as repentance.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Khaja Zanon of Egypt during his
journey he went into the jungle and where he was found one
Darwesh person who was very pious and a man of grace in one
cave and whose one leg was cut off so he was saying Salam to
him and he was asked him in this matter. So he said once he was
left the cave from ablution and he was looking a woman there so
he desired for her so he put his leg out of the cave to catch her but
that woman was vanished away from there. So he immediately
took the knife and cut off his leg. So oh : Darwesh since 40 years
he was standing on his one leg in the condition of shame and
regret in this matter that how he will show his face there and
what he will give an explanation on the day of judgement.”
Once one Darwesh were asked Khaja Ba-Yazid Bustami did
the lover will always get the observation or some time.?. He said “
Always because if the lover will be in the standing position, then
he will have on the condition of observation. If he will be in the
sitting or sleeping conditions, then he will be in thinking of
observation of the lover. So the lover will be always in the
condition of observation of the friend.”
Afterward, he said, “ For the lover observation and backbiting
are both same and equal. So as the observation and backbiting is
447
also same. In this matter he was heard one couplet from Zikeria
Multani.
The repentance of the soul
The sixth repentance is repentance of the soul. So the soul

should be kept away from the following things.
1. All desires
2. Eatables
3. Lusting
And one should be repented from all the above things. No
work should be done as per the desire of the soul. And in the holy
book of Quran, it is mentioned “ And as for him who fears to
stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low
desires. Their abode will be the garden”
The control of desires of the soul
Once there were some differences between caliph Harun al-

Rashid and his dear wife Zubaida. So she told him that “He is a
hellish man. “Harun al- Rashid replied her that if he is a hellish
man then he will divorce her.” He left her, but due to his extreme
love for her, he was worried to solve this matter and so he called
all the learned persons of Baghdad in his court and asked them,
“Am I a hellish man?” But no person answered this question and
all of them told the caliph. “Only Allah knows this matter.” Imam
Al-Shafe’i, even though he was very young at that time, he was
also among the learned persons who were present in the royal
court of Harun al-Rashid. He told Harun that “If he permits him,
he would reply his question.” When all other learned persons
heard his reply they were surprised. They thought that he might be
448
a mad person because when all other learned persons were unable
to solve the matter, what then will he do?.
After the permission of caliph, Imam Al-Shafe’i asked the
caliph “Whether he is in need of him or he is in need of the
Caliph.” The Caliph told him that “ He needs him.” So Imam Al-
Shafe’i asked him to come down from the throne because the
status of learned person is superior to kings. The Caliph came
down from the throne and asked him to sit on the throne. He sat
on the throne and asked the caliph to reply his question first to
enable him to solve his problem. “Did you have any chance of
committing any sin, even though you had the power of doing it,
but due to the fear of Allah, you escaped from it?”
The caliph replied swearing, “Yes, I had many chances, but I
was always away from such sins.” Imam Al-Shafe’i told him,
“You are not a hellish man.” When the Ulemas (learned persons)
asked him to furnish proof of it, he told them that Allah says in
the Holy Qur’an:
“ And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord
and forbids the soul from low desires. Their abode will be the
garden”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “There are three kinds of
repentance as follows.”
1. Present
2. Past
3. Future
In the present to be repentance from the sins of the present
time.
In the past, to bring the enemy in the agreed condition and return
back the things if you would have snatched from his things
because without the return back of the things his repentance will
be not accepted. But he should return back him the double of the
things to bring back him in the agreed condition, then repentance
will be accepted. If he will say bad things to anybody then he
should regret him in this matter. If that person died, then he
449
should release one slave. The act is like that with which he
would have given life to the dead person. If he has done adultery
with someone's wife or his slave girl then do not regret with her,
but he should approach towards Allah and repent in this matter. If
he would repent from the drinking of wine, then he should give a
drink of juice and cold waters to the persons. At the time of
repentance, he should regret about the sin which he was
committed.
The future is that in which he should determine that he will
not commit the sins in the future.”
Saheb went inside of the house so, for this reason, the well-wisher

The service and respect of the holy persons
When the honour of kissing the feet was available, then the
Sheikh of Islam said with his holy tongue, “ Oh: Darwesh
everybody was getting felicity by service only because the grace
of the world and religion will be available from the service of
Mashaiq (learned persons) and spiritual masters.”
Afterward, he said “ One who do the service of the spiritual
master for a period of seven days than in his account Allah will
write the reward of the worship of seven hundred years in his
record of the deeds and for every step there will be given the
reward of Hajj pilgrimage and Umra for him.”
The style of service of Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi
Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Jaluddin Tabrazi after the death

of his spiritual master who did such service to Sheikh Bahauddin
that such service will not be made available by any servant. So
Afterward, I saw him in Baghdad, he was going there with the
450
load of stove on his head and there was a cooking pot on it and in
which something he was making hot. I have asked him where he
was going.?” He was replied “ To Hajj pilgrimage.” So I was
surprised in this matter. I asked by the people for how many years
he is doing this service. They told him for a period of 25 years,
he is doing such service to the Darwesh.
The style of service of Khaja Abdulla Khafif
Afterward, he said “ When Khaja Abdulla Khafif was asked

from where he was getting the wealth.? “ He told “ By the service
of one Dawresh and who used to ask him whatever, then he used
to do that service for him. So once that Darwesh asked him to go
another Darwesh and convey his Salam to him and inform him
that tomorrow there will be Urs (the annual death anniversary) of
his spiritual master and there will be available, food provision
there.So present there and so bless the place so that the food will
be distributed in his presence there. There was fear of tigers in the
place where that Darwesh used to live there. The Derwesh was
given this work to me for trial only.
In short, I was going there and at one place the tiger came
before me so I told the tiger that he was going to see the Darwesh
as per the instruction of his spiritual master so allow me to go
there. Upon hearing this the tiger given him the way and paid
respect to me and left from from there. I passed the way and
reached near the Darwesh and was given the message of my
spiritual master and he accepted the message and he said that he
will come there. So I paid respect to him and come back in the
service of my spiritual master so for this reason that Darwesh
hugged me and he said it was really the right of service which you
have done in this matter. Then he holds my hand and he looked at
the sky and he said “ Go, he allowed him the wealth of the both
worlds.” From there I came back into my hut. So whatever you
see the grace in him is given by that Darwesh.
451
The reason greatness of Khaja Bustami
Afterward, he said “When Khaja Bustami was asked from

where he got such wealth.?” He said “From two matters. One
from service from his mother and other is by the service of his
spiritual master. Then he narrated first matter that “One night my
mother asked me for water. I went to fetch her some water, but
there was none in the jug. I fetched the pitcher, but none were in it
either. So I went down to the river and filled the pitcher with
water. When I returned to the house, my mother had fallen asleep.
The night was cold. I kept the jug in my hand. When my mother
awoke from sleep, she drank some water and blessed me. Then
she noticed that the jug was frozen in my hand. “Why did you not
lay the jug aside?” she exclaimed. “I was afraid that you might
wake when I was not present”, I answered. “Keep the door half-
open” my mother then said.“I watched till near daybreak to make
sure if the door was properly half-open or not, and that I should
not have disregarded her command. At the hour of dawn, that
which I had sought so many times entered by the door.” After his
mother resigned him to God. The event of a spiritual master is
like that he was in his service for a period of 20 years and those
days and nights were equal to me. So one night we were engaged
in reading the holy book of Quran and in that night in the
presence of my master nobody was not there in his presence. The
Sheikh Saheb called me and he said “ Oh dear, to bring the holy
book of Quran and when I took it there he prayed for me.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “ Oh: Darwish unless you
will not do service to the Darwesh persons, then you will not
reach to the position of status.
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Moinuddin Sanjari carried the bed
spreads of his spiritual master for a period of 20 years and with
these luggage he went to Hajj pilgrimage then he was getting such
452
grace and after that this grace was found in the favour of all
people of the world.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh he was heard by one holy
person that the service of one day of the spiritual master with
truth is equal to the worship 7,000 years of un-truth persons.”
The rules for the visitors
Afterward, he said the last prophet said “One who give drink
water to others, then he should drink it at last.” Also in the same
way one should provide the food for others first. It is obligatory
for the servant to eat the food at last.
Afterward, he said “ It is obligatory for the host to wash the
hands of the guests and in it there is wisdom is that first he should
wash his hands and kept it clean so as enable to wash and clean
the hands of his guests. But at the time of giving water to others
to drink, then he should not drink first so he should give water to
others first for drinking then he should drink at the last.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Derwish once one person brought the
water in the service of Khaja Junaid to wash his hands and he sat
there. Khaja Saheb stood there. When he asked the reason, then he
said as you sat there. So it is obligatory for me to stand there. As
it is not obligatory for the washer man to sit there. Because it is
out of etiquette in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Imam Shafi was a guest at the house
of Imam Malik so he washed the hands of Imam Shafi by himself.
“
Afterward, he said “ Once he arrived in Baghdad as a traveler,
there and he was seen one pious person who praying at the bank
of the Tigris river and who was a man of greatness and he was a
man of graces. But he was very weak and lean person who busies
himself in the prayers in his hut at the bank of the river Tigris.
When he was finished his prayer, then I said Salam to him and he
suddenly said “Wa Laikum Salam Ya Farid.” So I was surprised
453
in this matter that whom was told my name to him. He said “

Who brought you here was told him his name.” Then he told me
to sit there. I was in his presence for some period of time. At the
time of the fast breaking two persons used to come there with a
cloth for the spreading for eating and food provision before him
and then they used to go away from there. One day some Sufi
persons came there and we all eat there together. But that Darwish
washed our hands by himself. So I told him in spite of the
presence of so many people he was washed the hands of all
guests. So he told me that it rule that the host should wash the
hands of the guests.
The difference between Kalim (interlocutor) and Habib

(friend)
Afterward, he was narrating the tradition that the prophet of

Allah said, “ When Prophet Mosa (A.S.) was reached on the
mount of Sinai, then there came the command of Allah to him that
he should remove his sandals and come there. So that if there will
dust off the mount Sinai will on your feet, then you will be
forgiven. But when the prophet of Allah reached near the
empyrean on the night of accession then there was command of
Allah came there “ Oh: Mohammed (peace be upon him) came
there with your sandals. So that with the dust of the sandals there
will be tranquility in its movement. ”
Afterward, he said “ Oh : Darwesh when Prophet Mosa (A.S.)
will be wake up from his grave, then he will walk intoxicated
condition with divine love and he will strike hands on the
parapets of empyrean and he will make a request “ Rabbi arni
anzar alaik” and then there will be commanded to keep silence
Mosa (A.S.) today is the day of accounting and upon accounting
there will be sight available. But when the Allah’s, last prophet
and his nation will come there and among them there will be such
lovers that for them there will be command of Allah to take them
454
in the chains to the paradise. But they will break the chains and
they will come down from the paradise while requesting from
there. Then there will be same command from Allah and they
will again come down there from the paradise from there. In
short, 70,000 chains will be broken by them, then there will be a
command from Allah that there is promise of sight in the paradise
and go there so that there will be available tranquility to them.”
Afterward, he said “Once the prophet of Allah was making
ablution and there was a ring in his fingers and he was moving it
and there was a command of Allah came there “ Oh: Mohammed
(peace be upon him) we has not created you for such
engagement.” After that time, the last prophet of Allah never
engages in such things.
Afterward, he said “ Oh : Darwesh on the day the king of
Egypt was sent Prophet Yousuf (A.S.) to the jail, at that time he
told one prisoner who was going to release from the prison that
he will become the cup bearer of the king and to the other person
and he told him that he will be eaten by crows and eagles. On that
day Prophet Yousuf (A.S.) told the cup bear to tell the king
about him. At the same time angel Gabriel came there with the
command of Allah in which it was said “ Oh: Yousuf (A.S.) you
have ignored Us and giving Our information to others.” And for
this mistake he was in the jail for a period of more than nine
years as punishment. The above event was explained from the
Quran as follows.
“And two young men went to prison with him. One of them
said: I dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I
dreamed that I was carrying upon my head bread where of the
birds were eating. Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see
thee of those good (at interpretation). O my two fellow-prisoners!
As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and
as for the other, he will be crucified so that the birds will eat from
his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which ye did inquire.
And he said unto him of the twain who he knew would be
455
released: Mention me in the presence of thy lord. But Satan

caused him to forget. To mention it to his lord, so he (Joseph)
stayed in prison for some years.”
Afterward, he said “ When Prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) in spite of
having his wide and grand kingdom when he will use to arrange
the meeting or party, then he used to stand at the door and used to
weep by holding with water jug and saucer and used to wash the
hands of slaves and other guests by his hands and he will give
drink water first to the guests and he was used to drink water at
last.”
The apology of Prophet Sulaiman (A.S.)
In short, in spite of wide and grand kingdom of prophet

Sulaiman (A.S.).He was used to sew the mound baskets and from
its sale amount he was used to purchase for his breads. One day
he thought in his mind that oh: Lord, you have given such a large
kingdom, but from it there is nothing for his fate. And he is living
on the sale amount of mound baskets. On that day he went to the
bazaar with his mound baskets for sale there. But nobody
purchase the baskets on that day and he was returned back to his
place with baskets. In this way seven days passed and no basket
was sold. So he was surprised what is the reason for it?.At that
time angel Gabriel came there and he said he “ Oh : Sulaiman you
did not get your food from the sale amount of baskets. So see the
above. When he saw the above he was found all his baskets were
hanging in one corner of the sky.” And there was came a
command “ Oh : Sulaiman we have purchased all your baskets
and it was just a name in this matter that the mankind used to
purchase it.” Upon hearing this he was regret in this and
repented of it.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the man should not think
that whatever he will do his action so from it in the manifest and
in innermost things will be happening. So think that it is
456
happening from the side of Allah. All such things will be

happened by the will of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh it was the habit of Imam
Abu Hanifa that when the guest arrived in the house than he was
used to wash the hands of his guest. He used to say this is Sunnah
(practice) of the last prophet of Allah and other prophets of
Allah. Imam Malik used to wash the hands of his guests and used
to give drink to the guests by his hand. So “ Oh: Darwesh you
should follow the prophet and the Imams (leaders) as for as
possible in this matter so that you should not be ashamed of them
on the day of judgement.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) was
invited the companions of the prophet in his house and at the
time eating of the food provision he was stood with water jug and
washed the hands of the guests.”
Saheb went inside of the house so for this reason the well wisher
6.
The recitation of the Quran and its excellence and blessing
Sheikh Burhan Hansavi, Sheikh Baderuddin Gaznavi and other

pious persons were present at the meeting place. He told with
holy tongue “ Oh: Darwesh the worship of the recitation of the
holy Quran is best among all worships and from it there will be
available position and status in the world and hereafter. Because
there is no greater worship than recitation of Quran so the men
should not be careless from this grace and they should not be
away from this. After this he said there are many benefits of the
reading of the Quran are as follows.
1. There will be increase of eye sight and it means there will be no
pain in it.
457
2.For each word there will be reward of worship of 1,000 years

will be recorded in the account of the reader and such number of
bad deeds will be removed from the account of the reader.
The conversation of Allah
One who wants to talk to Allah, then he should busies himself

in the reading of the holy book Quran.The pious person is one
who engaged in talking to Allah. The felicity of talking with the
friend will be available with the reading of the holy Quran. There
will be call 70,000 times in the heart of the man that if you desire
for us then leave all things and start reading of the holy book of
Quran.
Afterward, he said “Usually the people get the grace of the
presence and observation at the time of the reading of the holy
Quran. Because the secrets which are available in the world which
will be revealed at the time of recitation of the holy Quran and
when he will think about each and every word and every meaning
then on him the secrets of the pen will be revealed upon him.
When he will reach the verse of observation or verse of mercy,
then he will be drowned in the river of observation and he will be
getting 100,000 graces. When he will reach on the verse of
punishment, then he will think about it, then he will be melted
like gold in melting pot.”
Afterward, he said “When Sheikh Bakhtiar Kaki used to reach
on the verse of warning, then he will beat his chest and used to
become unconscious. When he will be consciousness, then he
used to start again reading of the holy Quran. In this way, in one
day he used to become unconscious 6,000 times and when he will
reach on the verse of observation, then he used to smile and used
to stand and drowned in the world of observation and live in the
condition of surprise and he was used to live in the condition
observation in one day and one night and about such condition he
will not aware of it.”
458
The position and status of Quran Conner (Hafiz Quran)
Afterward, he said “When Quran Conner will die then his soul
will be put in the lamp of light and will be taken towards
empyrean and on his soul every day there will be a fall of graces
of 1000 times divine lights.”
Afterward, he said “On the day of judgement there will be
commanded by Quran Conner to proceed into the heaven and
there will be divine light on him. So it is said that on the day of
judgement there will be also divine light on the following
categories of personalities.
1. The prophets
2. All holy persons
There will be divine light separately on Abu Baker Siddiq
(A.S.) in the heaven. This will be possible due to his excellence.”
Afterward, he said “ On the day of judgment the lovers will be
brought into the place of divine light and there will be
commanded to open the eyes. Each lover will be brought there
and there will be divine light on them separately and they will
become un-conscious, there and live in such condition for a
period of 7,000 years and when they became conscious then they
will demand ‘Hal Milne Mazhid’ it means “For more and more”.
So in this way, there will be divine light on them for 7,000 times.
Then they will send back to their previous places.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was reached at this point in this
discussion then he was becoming un-conscious.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish once in Baghdad, he was
heard from his holy tongue with the Sheikh of Islam Ajal Shrirazi
this narration that when Sheikh of Islam Saifuddin Bakhaerzai
was in Bukhara. Once he was left for outside for the journey and
during his journey, he was seen in one city in which there was a
full population of Muslim were there and men women and
children all were engaged in reading the holy Quran there. They
459
used to busy themselves in reading the holy Quran from morning

to the evening time. We could not find any time when they were
not engaged in the reading of the holy Quran. In that city, we find
one pious person in the cave which was located outside of the city
and he was a disciple of Sheikh Shams al-Arifin and he was also
used to busy in the reading of the Quran there in the cave. When
he will reach on the verse of warning, then he will use to become
unconscious and used to become restless and uneasy there and
when he will become conscious then again he busies himself in
the reading of the holy Quran. When he will reach on the verse of
glad tiding or mercy, then he will weep bitterly and used to say
that this verse is in favour of such persons who do good deeds. I
do not have little good deeds with me so I do not become happy in
this matter. When he will say this and stop for a while and then
he will address with the persons oh: dears if you know that there
is a command of Allah in every verse and in every word, then due
to horror the skin of the body will be displaced and it will be
melted and it will be destroyed.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish once one Quran Conner was
died who was realized reality. Somebody asked him in the dream,
how Allah has blessed him.?” He replied that “Allah granted His
mercy and blessings which He used to give to his special
persons.”
When he was asked “ Whether he left in the grave or he was
taken upper side in the sky.?” He said “His heart was taken under
the empyrean and he was allotted his position in the Quran
Conner place and still he is living there.”
The reading of the Quran is the source of salvation
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish, upon the death of Sultan

Moizuddin Mohammed Shah somebody asked him in the dream
how Allah has blessed him.?” He said “Allah was forgiven him.”
Then he was asked “ For which deed.?”.He told “ One night he
460
was sitting on his throne and at that time, there was coming voice
of reading of the Quran. So I came down from the throne and sat
on the floor with the two legs folding and began hearing the
recitation of Quran with full attention and care and for this reason,
he gets much comfort in this matter. When he left in the world,
then he was forgiven for the cause of listening to the Quran.”
Afterward, he said, “ For the listening of Quran many persons
were forgiven for this reason.”
1.The person who is a teacher of readers of the Quran.
2.The reader of the holy Quran.
3.The listeners of Quran in the neighbourhood.
The Sheikh of Islam smiled and narrated this event that “
Once he was sitting in the service of Khaja Ajal Shirazi then at
that time four more Dareweh persons came there. Among them,
one Darwesh want to kill Khaja Saheb. Khwaja paid attention
towards that person and he said to him, “ Oh: Darwish did
Darwish will have the intention to kill Darwesh.?” Then that
Darwish paid respect to him and he said “ No, he does not have
such intention in this matter.” Afterward, he said him, “ To
change his intention.” When Khaja said this then he was standing
and put his head on the feet of Khaja Saheb. He said “ Yes, surely
I had the intention to kill him. But you are a holy person so you
were able to know in this matter so I repent in this matter.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said that “ Man should busy
himself in the reading of the holy Quran. Because in between the
lover and beloved the love will be increased due to the
conversation. So on the way of mysticism, there is no other thing
which is more important than this thing. Because, as per mystic
people, there is no observation like this observation. Did you
know such comfort which one person will get at the time of
talking with the friend.? Oh: Darwesh the talking about Allah is
Quran.So one who knows this test, then upon this if he will
engage in other things then he will be called false claimant in this
matter.”
461
Afterward, he said “ When one person who read the Quran

then he should think about its meanings and at that time he should
not think about any creature in his heart so in this method he
should recite the holy Quran. Then one angle will come there
along with 100,000 houries in front of the person one who reads
the holy Quran. That angel with houries will adorn the meeting
that the eyes could not able to see such things. Then that angel
due to love will put his mouth on the mouth of the reader of the
Quran. Till the life of that person that angel will be with him
along with the houries and upon the death of the reader that angel
will leave him and goes back to heaven along with the houries.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish when Ali Ibn Taleb (A.S.)
used to read the Quran then he used to shiver like the leaves of
cane tree. When he will reach the beginning of any verse, then he
will use to stand like waiting and then he was used to sitting there
afterward. When he will use to read the Quran then he was used to
engaging in for a period of seven days and seven nights in it.”
Afterward, he said “ As the person who enjoy the reading of
the Quran in his loneliness. In the same way, on the day of
judgement, there will be divine light on him in the loneliness.”
Afterward, he said “ In Ghazni there was one Darwesh and his
name was Maqri and who was very pious and a man of grace was
there. And he knows the seven methods of recitation of holy
Quran. His miracle was that one who will read one verse of the
Quran with his help then to that person Allah will grant him in his
fate the memory of the whole Quran. So I also read one verse
with his help and due to its blessing I memorized the whole
Quran. His one brother used to reside in Damascus. One person
came to Baghdad from Damascus, so he was asked about his
brother. So that person told him that he is well there, but he was
already dead. That person who is coming from Damascus said “
There was very much rain fall was there due to this reason many
houses were destructed. There was also one fire accident took
place there and due to this reason, many houses were destructed.”
462
When he has finished his narration then Khaja Mohammed Maqri

said to him, “Perhaps his brother was no more there.” Then that
person said “Yes and he was dying before these happenings.”
The excellence of verse Fatiha and other verses
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh for the men to see the pure
soul of the prophet and to see the soul of any other souls of the
leaders of the religion then he should engage in the reading of
holy Quran and verse Fatiha. So that due to holy Quran and the
blessing of the soul his works of this world and the other world
should be completed well in this matter. Also, he should get
position and status and he should become the person of nearness
and the person of the secrets of divine lights. Oh: Darwesh one
who recites the verse Fatiha for the recovery of any patient or for
any work he should follow the following method.
1.41 times recite Tazou and Tasmia.
2. To read the alphabet Mim of Rahim with the alphabet of Lam
of al-Humad. So that there will be relief of pain immediately on
this matter. So the Khatam (finish) of verse Fatiha is a recitation
of it for 41 times. Oh; Darwesh you should know that the verse
Fatiha is the cure of all diseases.” Afterward, he said “ The verse
of Baqera’s Khatam (finish) is a recitation of it for one time. The
man who reads verse Baqera in between the Sunnah and
obligatory prayers for 3 days, then his desire will be fulfilled by
Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ Once there was some need for Khaja
Bakhtiar Kaki so he was started reading it and still one day was
not passed then Allah fulfilled his wish.”
Afterward, he said, “ For the desire of this world and another
world we should recite two times verse al-Umran.” Afterward, he
said “ Oh: Bedridden Darwesh whatever he is told to him so he
463
should follow it so that he will get perfection in his condition. As

you are related to us in this matter. Because the spiritual master is
one who will by adoring him.” Afterward, he said “ One who will
recite verse al-Nisa daily, seven times, then he will be free the
punishments of the both worlds. One who will recite verse al-
Maida then in his city, there will be no scarcity of the rain
anytime. The Khatam (finish) of verse Enam is reading it for 70
times or from another tradition to read it 41 times. So one who
will read it for his any desire, then Allah will fulfil his needs.”
Afterward, he said “ The verse Araf should be read for the
repentance as follows.”
1. To recite 70 times Astaghfar.
2. To pray 2 Rakat prayers as follows
3. In the first Rakat after verse Fatiha to recite 100 times verse
Qul Ya Ahul Kafirun.
4. In the second Rakat after verse Faitha to recite 100 Qul
Wallahu Ahad.
For the release of the prisoner to recite 4 times verse Enfal
and one who will read this verse daily then Allah will free him
from the prison of the world and the prison and also he will be
protected in the other world.
Afterward, he said “ In the world for the betterment of another
world and success of the works, then one should recite verse
Touba forty times. And one who will read, then he will be
successful in the world.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh Khatam (finish) of verse
Hud is to read it for ten times.This Khatam is to be read for the
success and victory on the infidel persons. The verse Ibrahim’s
Khatam is to read it for ten times for salvation of the deceased or
it should be read at the time of the reading of the Quran or
memorizing of the Quran and one who read it then he will become
Quran-Conner”.
Afterward, he said “ The prophet said one who will recite the
verse Yousuf then he will memorize the Holy Quran certain.To
464
free from the fear and worry of the enemy of the Islam to recite
the verse Raad seven times.”
For the patient with epilepsy and an insane person to recite
the verse Hajj 70 times and blow on the patients then Allah will

The Khatam (finish) of the verse Bani Israel is to read it 10
times.
For every Muhim (important affair) to read the verse Kahaf 40
times on every Friday.
To read the verse Mariam every day 20 times for the increase
of grace and increase of the work.
To read the verse Taha on every Thursday 3 times. Allah

the verse Anbia 75 times.”
For the success in the both worlds to read the verse Qad
Aflahal Muminoon 7 times.
To be free from the all kinds of calamities to read the verse

times.
For the thanks of the graces of Allah to recite the verse Qul.
For reading the verse Qasas ten times, there will such reward

When the Sheikh of Islam reached on this point and he said “
Oh Darwesh the one who is wise and he is not careless from the
reading of the Quran. Because in the Quran there in every
command in it and there is available the secrets of divine light
and radiance. So Darwesh in this thing in which the grace is
available so why the man should be away from it.?”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish regards other Khatam
(finish) of the remaining verses of holy Quran he will be
discussing later.
Upon finishing the details of the above benefits, then Khwaja
Saheb went inside of the house so, for this reason, the well-wisher
7.
The excellence of reading verse Iqlas
466
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and

then a discussion about the excellence of verse Iqlas was started.
At that time in the meeting following persons were present there.
1. Moulana Nasihuddin who was the son of Qazi Hameeduddin
2. Jamaluddin Ansari
3. Shams Dabir
And some other Sufi persons were also present there in the
meeting place in his service.
The Sheikh of Islam said with his holy tongue that “There is
tradition reported from the prophet that one who want the reward
of Khatam (finish) of holy Quran then he should recite 25 times
verse Iqlas in the night. Oh : Darwesh in the verse Iqlas there is
Wahdanit (the belief in the unity of God) is mentioned in it and
Qul Wallu Ahad is its attribute. So one who reads it with the right
devotion than he is like a person who was described all
attributes of Allah. Even though Allah is without attribute and so
there is no attribute of His.
Afterward, he said “Once the prophet was sitting and he told
his companions “ They should not sleep unless they should not
do the following five things before they sleep.”
1. To compete for the recitation of whole holy Quran.
2. To do Jehad (religious war).
3. To please the prophet.
4. To perform the Hajj pilgrimage.
5. To please Allah.
So for this reason, the companions were worried in this
matter that how they can do the five things in the night.
So he told as follows.
1. The person who does not complete and unable to recite the
whole Quran in the night, then he should recite 25 times Sura
Iqlas, then he is like a person who was completed the whole
recitation of Quran.
467
2. One who wants to do Jehad (religious war) in the night, then he

should recite 10 times the phrase ‘Subhan Allah.’
3. One who wants to please the prophet, then he should recite 100
times Darud (blessing) on him .
4. One who wants to perform the Hajj pilgrimage then he should
recite 100 times “La Ilha Illah al-Hakim al-Karim.”
5. One who wants to please Allah, then he should recite many
times “La Ilaha Illah Mohammed Ur Rasul Allah.”
The excellence of the blowing of the verse Iqlas
Once one Darwish went to visit one patient and blow him
upon recitation of the verse Iqlas so, for this reason, he recovered
from illness immediately.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish once he and Khwaja Bakhtiar
Kaki was in travelling and we have reached to the upper side of
the river and we have reached the bank of the river’s tributary
and there was no boat was available there to cross from there and
it was a dangerous spot to cross.” The Sheikh of Islam smiled and
he said “ Oh: Farid as we have reached here so to have crossed
from there.? So he replied it is excellent felicity but there was
thought in my mind how we will cross from there. Still the
thought came into my mind, then Khaja Qutubuddin was standing
in the way and he was crossing the river site. Upon reaching the
other side of the river, “ I asked him how we have crossed the
river way.? “ Then he said “ When we have reached to the river
side then he was recited 3 times the verse Iqlas and blown on the
water and due to the command of Allah river was cut and there
was way was created there so in this way we have crossed the
river.”
The verse of Iqlas is one-third of the holy Quran

468
Afterward, he said “ The prophet of Allah said the verse

Iqlas is one-third of the holy Quran. This verse’s Khatam (finish)
is its reciting 3 times. After the Khatam (finish) of the holy
Quran, this verse is recited 3 times because there is wisdom in it
that if there will be any mistake is left if any then it will be
covered by reciting it 3 times.”
Afterward, he said “Upon the Khatam of holy Quran some
verses from verse Baqura are recited because once the prophet
was asked “Who is the best person.?”Then he said “ Al-Hal al-
Murtahal”. And Hal is that person who has arrived and Murtahl is
such person, one who left from the destination. It refers to this
thing that when one person who will complete the whole
recitation of the Quran then he will reach the destination.When he
will recite some verses from Baquera then he will re-start his
journey to a new destination. So the best person is one who will
finish the Quran and start its new recitation once again and for
such reader the prophet of Allah told him al-Murtahal.”
The release of Khaja Tamim Ansari
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh once he was heard with his

spiritual master Bahauddin Bukhari’s holy tongue that once
Khwaja Tamim Ansari was captured by the Negro persons and
their leader want to kill him. For this purpose, he kept him in the
prison for a period of 7 years. The day of the killing was promised
by him, but on that night Khwaja Saheb has seen his spiritual
master Khwaja Abu Said Abul Khair in the dream and who said
to him when you will go to the leader of the Negro persons then
recite verse Iqlas 3 times and blow on him. Then Khwaja Saheb
was wake up due to the terror of the dream. When he was taken
before the leader of the Negro persons he recited 3 times verse
Iqlas and blown on his side. When he saw him, he was fallen on
his feet and was requested to forgive him then he will release by
him. When he asked the reason in this matter, then he said that
469
there are two pythons are standing at his side and they want to kill
him. Khwaja Saheb told him that I have given back your life.
Then he was released from there.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish once he and Jalaluddin
Tabrizi were together in one place. Maulana Alauddin Sufi was
passed from there and when the Sheikh saw him, then he called
him there and he was given his dress to him and recited 5 times
verse Iqlas and blown on the dress. Due to the blessing, Allah
granted him many graces to him. All such graces were possible to
Maulana Aladdin Sufi due to the blessing of Sheikh Jalaluddin
Tabrizi.”
The protection of Khaja Hasan of Basra
Once Khaja Hasan of Basra was fled from the prison of Hajaj
Bin Yousuf. He was running ahead and the royal police men of
Baghdad were following behind him. When he reached in the
shrine of Habib of Ajmi then who asked him what is his condition
then he told him the policemen of Hajaj Bin Yusuf are following
him to catch him. Khaja Saheb asked him to enter his shrine. Then
Khaja Saheb began engaging in the worship of Allah. The police
men of Baghdad asked him where is Hasan.? He said, “ See he is
praying there.” When they enter inside of the shrine due to the
help of Allah they could not find him there. The police men
came again to see Habib of Ajmi and they told them that “ It is
right that Hajj Bin Yousuf kill you as you say such false thing.”
In short, when the policemen left from there Khaja Habib told
him “ Oh: Khaja if he will not tell correct, then he will have been
arrested there.” Khaja Hasan of Basra said to him, “ You were
trying to arrest by the police and you have shown him to them.”
Then Khwaja Habib said to him “If he will not speak correctly,
then we both of them will be arrested by the police.”
470
After that Khaja Hasan of Basra asked him “ What you

recited when he was gone inside of the building?.” He said “ He
was reciting ten times the verse of Iqlas and was blown on his
side and which become intervening in between you and them.”
And this event is available in Tadhkirtal Auliya by Farid al-Din

as follows.
One day officers of Hajjaj were searching for Hasan.

He was hiding in Habib’s hermitage.
“Have you seen Hasan today?” the officers demanded
of Habib.
“I have seen him,” he answered.
“Where was he?”
“In this hermitage.”
The officers entered the hermitage, but for all theirsearching they
did not find Hasan. (“Seven times they
laid their hands on me,” Hasan afterwards related,
“but they did not see me.”)
“Habib,” Hasan remarked on leaving the hermitage,
“you did not observe your duty to your master. You
pointed me out.”
“Master,” Habib replied, “it was because I told the
truth that you escaped. If I had lied, we would both
have been arrested.”
“What did you recite, that they did not see me?”
Hasan asked.
I recited the Throne-verse ten times,” Habib
answered. “Ten times I recited The Messenger believes,
and ten times Say, He is God, One. Then I said, ‘O
God, I have committed Hasan to Thee. Watch over him.’
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “Once he was engaged in

the worship of Allah in the loneliness and when he was reached
471
on the verse Iqlas then from the world of divine light there was a
fall of secrets and its radiance upon him. So due to such lights, he
was fallen in the desert of love and fondness. When he was out
from there, then he was drowned in the river of the love and
affection of Allah. So he was in such condition for a period of
seven days and nights. Then he was out from the condition of
consciousness.”
The verse Iqlas and the conquest of Khyber
In this situation, he said “ One day Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.)

became helpless in the battle of Khyber and he was trying his
level best for the victory in the battle but he was not become
successful in this matter. At last, upon his helplessness, he wrote
to the prophet of Allah. The prophet of Allah has replied him that
he forgets the verse Iqlas. Upon reaching the reply Ali Iban Taleb
(R.A.) was started reading the verse Iqlas and still one day was
passed, then the next day the Khyber fort was conquered by him.
He was pulled out its gate 40 yards away.”
Upon finishing the details of the above benefits, then the
prayer call of afternoon prayer (Zahur) was started so Khwaja
and all other persons left from the meeting place.
8.
The reality of Qirqa (saintly dress) and indigence
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Shiekh, then at

that time some Sufi persons were present in his service. He said
with his holy tongue that “ The dress of rag and wool is the dress
of the prophets of Allah. So Oh: Darwesh this dress is legal for
such person and whose innermost and manifest is clear from the
bad attributes. As the Sufi is that person in him there will be no
filth and ill-will of the world and human nature will not be
found.”
472
To wear Qirqa (saintly) is the Sunnah (practice) of the

prophets.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh this tradition reported by

the prophet of Allah that to wear rags and wool dress is the
Sunnah of the prophets of Allah. At that time when the prophets
and holy persons when they need something, then they used to
put the rag dress on the shoulders and will put before them wool,
then they used to start hymns in the praise of Allah and will make
rag and wool as intercessor then Allah will fulfil their important
affairs in this matter.”
In this connection Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish it is
coming to the tradition of wearing of the saintly dress of the
prophets and their Tabain (successors to the holy prophet’s
companions).”
Afterward, he said “Once inside the mosque of Kaif in
Baghdad Khaja Zanon of Egypt and some other Sufi persons were
gathered there. Then there was questioned that what is the origin
of Qirqa? And first, who was started it.? All the persons in the
gathering began thinking, but they could not reply in this matter.
So Khwaja Suhail Tasteri said as per tradition of some Mashaiq
(learned persons) the saintly dress (Qirqa) system was started
from prophet Ibrahim (A.S.).”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish on the day when prophet
Ibrahim (A.S.) was put in the catapult then at that time the angel
Gabriel was brought the heavy dress and put on him. Afterward,
the same saintly dress was worn by the following prophets of
Allah.
1. Prophet Ishaque (A.S.)
2. Prophet Yaqub (A.S.)
3. Prophet Yousuf (A.S.)
473
But as per other traditions when prophet Yousuf (A.S.) was

put in the well by his brothers then the angel Gabriel was brought
charm and put in his neck. But the research persons say it a was
saintly dress and which was sent by Allah. So the person without
saintly dress, without scissoring work, without company and
devotion, then who claim himself as the disciple then he is
misleading and not a disciple.”
Afterward, he said “ One one who dis-approved of Qirqa
(saintly) and scissor working so, for this reason, he is among
Zindiq (hypocrite) persons and not Siddiq (true) as per saying of
the group of Mashaiq (learned persons). Oh: Darwesh among our
masters the reality is connected with Allah. That on the night of
Meraj (accession) the saintly dress was awarded to the prophet
and also there was a command from Allah to give it to any one of
his companions who will reply the question and there were given
the details of question and answer to the prophet in this matter. So
the prophet asked the question with his companions and among
three of them could not reply to the question. In the last Ali Ibn
Ali Taleb (A.S.) was replied that if he will be awarded the saintly
dress, then he will not disclose the defects of the persons. So the
prophet was given the saintly dress to Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (A.S.) and
from him, the system of the saintly dress was started.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh once he arrived in Baghdad
as a traveler, there and he was present at the meeting of Khwaja
Suhabuddin Saharwardi. The other holy persons who were present
at the meeting are as follows.
1. Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrazi
2. Sheikh Bahuddin Suherwardi
3. Sheikh Ohud Kirmani
4. Sheikh Bahuddin Suwastani
In the meeting the discussion about the saintly dress was
started and at that time the son of Sheikh Bahuddin came there
and he has requested a saintly dress for him. So Sheikh
474
Suhabuddin said him sorry for today and to come tomorrow and
it will be given to him.”
Who is deserved for the saintly dress?
In short, in, that night Sheikh Saheb was seen in his dream that
the angles were taking two persons towards the upper side while
putting the chains of the fire in their necks. He caught the edge of
the shirt of the angles and he was asked them, “ Who are they.?”
They said “One is the spiritual master and the other is the
disciple. That master has awarded him the saintly dress to him,
but he has not fulfilled the rights of the saintly dress in this matter.
But he was used to wonders in the world in the streets, lanes and
bazaars. He was used to presenting himself in the company of
kings and richest persons. We have given a command that this
dark nature of innermost Pir (master) and the misled disciple
should be tightened in the chains of the fire and should be taken to
the hell. ”
When the son of the Sheikh was seeing the dream, then he was
waking up from the dream and he went to see the Sheikh so the
Sheikh was smiling in this matter and he said “ Have you seen the
condition of the persons who wear the saintly dresses. So my: son
the Qirqa (saintly dress) should be worn by such person, one who
will disconnect himself from the both worlds and he should
follow the way of his masters and the Mashaiq (learned)
persons.You are still in 70 veils. The time of wearing the saintly
dress does not come to you. So, return back from him otherwise
your position will be in the same condition which you have seen
the condition of the master and his disciple in the dream.”
Afterward, he said, “ Oh: Darwish unless the man should not
be free from the following things then he should not wear the
saintly dress.”
1. Worldly disturbances
2. Filth
475
And the master should not award his disciple the saintly dress
without cleansing the filth. Because the saintly dress belongs to
the dress of the prophets and holy persons. Because one who will
be with the filth of the world, then he will not be able to fulfil the
rights of the saintly dress. So in this way he will be fallen on the
wrong way and both master and disciple will be misleading in this
matter.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh it is easy and simple to
wear the saintly dress, but it is difficult to fulfil its rights. If there
will be possible salvation from wearing the saintly dress then all
will wear the saintly dress in this matter. But it requires the work
of wearing the saintly dress. If you wear the saintly dress and do
the service of the devotees then it is good otherwise, you will be
away from the right path and from which you will not be able to
come out from there.”
Afterward, he said “ If you wear the saintly dress and do the
acts of saintly persons of a wearing saintly dress, then it is good.
Otherwise on the day of judgment the saintly dress will become
claimant there and it will ask him that you have worn me, but not
fulfil my rights.” Then there will be command of Allah to the
angels to put on the dress of fire on his neck and there will be
given orders to take him into the hell.
Afterward, he said “ If one who want to wear the saintly dress,
then he should wear it for the sake of Allah only and he should
not wear for the show of the mankind so that they should respect
him in this matter and if you do this then you will become
helpless and weak on the day of judgement and you will be
arrested there.”
Afterward, he said “ On this way the Pir (master) should have
personal power so that if any person approach him in his service
to become his disciple then he should check the three
disturbances of the world and that he is free the following things
of his heart.
1. Ill-will
476
2. Malice
3. Defects
And then he should clear all the above things from the heart of
the disciple. So he should keep that person with him for some
period of time and then order him to do endeavours in this matter.
Afterward, if there will be not available ill-will of the following
two things.
Greed and lust, then he should award him the saintly dress, then
it will become legal for the disciple. But if the Pir (master) does
not have such personal power, then he will not award the saintly
dress to the disciple as he will be away from the right path as
well as he will mislead the disciple on the wrong path.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the saintly dress and cap
should be given legally to that person one who become successful
in the endeavours and who has become pure in the love of the
holy persons.”
Afterward, he said “ When my brother Bahuddin Zikeria
when he was completing his endeavours in the love and
affection of Allah then he was approached in the service of
Sheikh Suhabuddin Suherwardi and he was with him for a period
of three days there and on the fourth day the Sheikh was given
him the following things.
1. Saintly dress
2. Staff
3. Sandals
4. Prayer mat
He said to him, “ Go: the dominion of the saintliness of Multan
city was given to you. So there was a feeling of the envy to the
persons who were present at the meeting place and they said that
an Indian person was given Velayat (saintliness) within three days
and we are in his service for many years there without getting any
benefit from him. When Sheikh Suhabuddin Suherwardi heard
this then he said “ Oh: Darwesh persons you are not like him.
But Bahuddin came there by doing his work and he was brought
477
dry woods with him. So for this reason within three days with one
blow, there was a fire, but all of you have brought wet woods with
you so there is the time required in this matter so that there will be
an effect of the blow on the wet woods.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the saintly dress should be
worn by such person, one who will make his eyes blind so that he
should not see the defects of the mankind.
Afterward, he said “ Once Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori was at
the Shamsi water reservoir and in the public gathering he was
given the saintly dress to Sheikh Shahi Motab and immediately he
was looked at Sheikh Mahmood Mouza Doze and he told him
today he was given the saintly dress to Sheikh Shahi Motab do
you like this thing or not?. So Sheikh Mahmood Mouza Doze said
him, “ Whatever he will like then such thing is liked by him.
Because to whom you will award the saintly dress, then that
persons in no doubt will be eligible for it.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he was arrived in the area of
Damascus as a traveler, there and he was reached in Damascus
city and went to see one holy person in his hut and paid respect to
him and that person was engaged in the worship of Allah very
much there. He was replied of my Salam and he asked me to sit
there. At that time, some disciples of the holy person who was
wearing saintly dress came there and they paid him respect. Then
one more Darwesh came there and he sat there. At that time that
holy person told them that he wants to give saintly dress to this
person do you all agree on this matter.? Then all of them paid
him respect and said that whatever he will like will be accepted by
all persons in the gathering. Then those Darwesh have started a
discussion about their conditions. At that time that Darwesh to
whom the saintly dress was being given said something against
the Darwesh persons without asking in this matter. So the holy
person stood and engaged in the prayer. After the completion of
his prayer the Sheikh said to send back that Darwesh from there
because he is not eligible for the saintly dress. And he is an
478
opponent of it and he is a false person and such person is not

eligible for the award of saintly dress in this matter.”
The excellence of Qirqa (saintly dress) and its attachment to

the person who wears it.
The Sheikh of Islam said “ The saintly dress is not credence

and if it were credence then all the world will wear it. But due to
the person who wear it will become excellent.”
Afterward, he said “When the prophet of Allah wore the
saintly dress on the night of ascension, then there was the
command of Allah came in which it was said “ Oh: Mohammed
(peace be upon him) does not think that you have got excellence
due to the saintly dress. But you aware that due to your greatness
and excellence it was awarded this saintly dress to you. So it was
given to you that it was to become excellent due to your merit. So
oh: Darwesh one who wears it and then he will not fulfil its rights
then he is not a person of credence and also his saintly dress is
not belonging to a thing of credence.”
Afterward, he said “Junaid of Baghdad, said if there will be the
importance of the saintly dress, then it was made of fire and iron.
But every day there will be a call which is heard in his head that
there is no importance for the saintly dress. On the day of
judgement, there will be many persons of saintly dresses on
whose necks there will be put the dress on the fire in their necks.
And those who will fulfil its rights then they will be sent to the
paradise.”
Afterward, he said “Once Dawood Tai was sitting there and at
that time one person came there wearing a quilted coat to visit
him and he paid him respect and he was sitting there. Dawood
Tai was looking at him and he then saw him at many times
and smiled. At last, he was addressed to the persons who were
present at the meeting place that he will find the things in this
479
person which are required in the persons who will wear the
saintly dress.”
Afterward that the Sheikh of Islam said “While weeping that
when the group of persons who will tear the saintly dressed in the
meetings of ecstasy, then they will drown in the sea of friendship
and in the fondness of the friendlier they will be found in the
condition of the surprise such that there will be no particle of life
available to them and in the cup of love they will melt like that
there will be no sign of their available there.
So due to the reason of envy and jealousy the person who
wears saintly dress due to the reason of singular status he will
tear off his dual personality. The effect of this saintly dress
wearing persons will be in such condition due to drowning the in
love of the friend. So there will be affect on them and for this
reason from a conscious condition they will not go in the
condition of unconsciousness.”
In the religion of mysticism who is Darwesh.?
Afterward, he said “ One Darwish, who was lying on the earth

and he was saying the name of Darweshi (mysticism) is that
whatever he will get in the day then he should not keep a single
penny for the night. If he will have something in the night, then
he should not keep for the day. So he should give all of it on the
way of Allah. The name of mysticism is not that he should tie
loincloth or wear leather and even for a loaf he should wander
from one door to another door. He should beg from the persons
who are like him. But the name of mysticism is that one should
not raise his head from the prostration but he should wear a nice
dress. Whatever he will get and with that money he should cook
delicious food for the Darwesh persons and whatever he will get
then they should spend on the way of Allah. ”
Once Khaja Bayazid Bustami was asked what is Darweshi
(mysticism).? He said “ At the 18,000 worlds the gold and silver,
480
which are available and if he will get such wealth, then he should
spend in the way of his friend.”
Afterward, he said “There are 70,000 positions of Darweshi
(mysticism) and unless he will not cover all these conditions, then
he will not called Darwesh. Some person will become Darwesh
for the filling of the stomach only. The every stage and position
of Darwesh is not free from fear and hope. At every stage, there
will be difficulties and problems for the Darwesh since for his
trails only.And if he will exceed a little from that place then he
will not get the position. But the person who will pass patiently
from those difficulties happily from the 18,000 worlds, then his
works will be developed in the double. So such person is called
Darwesh (mystic) in the religion of the mysticism.”
Afterward, he said “There are 70,000 stages from which the
Darwesh is required to pass from there. And among these stages if
there will prevail condition upon Darwesh in the first stage,
then he will perform the five daily prayers around the empyrean
in the sky along with residents of the empyrean. And when he will
come back from there, then he will see himself in the Holy Kaaba
in Makkah and come back from there and then he will see all
worlds in between his two fingers. So oh : Darwesh this is his
condition in the beginning stage. But when he will cover 70,000
stages, then his condition will not be understood by wisdom and
knowledge and there will be no capacity available to the un-
related in him. This is one secret which is in between Allah and
his slave and for which nobody knows in this matter and only
Allah knows well in this matter. Then the Sheikh of Islam made a
slogan and recited some couplets from the Masnavi (verse
comprising couplets).
The status of Darwish
Afterward, he said “ Once due to the fondness and desire the
blood was passed from the eyes of Khaja Bayazid Bustami and
when there was relief in this matter, then he said “The friend lives
upon you” and he called the empyrean and he said “ Oh:
481
empyrean it is said that the friend is used to reside there.” The

empyrean said “Oh: Ba Yazid what is the situation of this talking.
For me, it is said that Allah lives in your heart. Oh: Ba- Yazid
many of the residents of the sky ask the residents of the earth
about the address of Allah and many of the residents of the earth
ask the residents of the sky about the address of Allah in this
matter.”
Afterward, he said “ From this conversation, it should be
known that the status of Darweshi (mysticism).It means the
Darwesh will reach at such stage that in his one step he will reach
under the empyrean and also he will reach upper side.”
The difference between the prayer of Ulemas (learned

person) and Fakirs (indigent)
Afterward, he said “ My brother Jalaluddin Tabrazi was

passed from the house of Qazi Najamuddin Sanami of Badayun
and asked what Qazi Saheb was doing ?. So the servants told him
that “Qazi Saheb was praying at that time.” He said “ Did Qazi
Saheb know the praying? “ When Qazi Saheb knows this then he
was immediately going into his presence, and he said to him “
What he was said in this matter.?” He said “ He was told
correctly. Because there are differences in between the prayer of
Ulmea and Fakirs (indigent)”. So Qazi Saheb asked him “ How it
is.?” He said “ Ulema can see the Qibla (direction in which
Muslims turn in prayer) or if they will not see Qibla then upon
satisfaction of the heart then perform the prayer. Unless the
Fakirs (indigent persons) will not see the empyrean or will not
reach there, then they will not perform the prayer.”
In short, when Qazi (judge) came back to his house and he was
seen in his dream that in real Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrazi was
engaged in praying on the prayer mat over the empyrean and he
was waking up from the dream and he went into the service of the
Sheikh and requested him to forgive him. Then the Sheikh told
482
him “ Oh: Najamuddin what you have seen the Darwesh praying
at the empyrean and this is the lowest status of mystic persons.
There are also other stages are there and if you see them, then you
will not live and you will die due to the excess of the light in this
matter.”
The sin of prophet Khizer (A.S.)

Afterward, he said “ He arrived in Baghdad as a traveler there.
Upon reaching the Tigris river, he was seen one holy person was
there and who was engaged in the prayer while spreading his
prayer mat on the river there. When he was finished his prayer
and he went into prostration and he said Prophet Khizer (A.S.)
was committed a major sin, so forgive his sin.” At that time
prophet Khizer (A.S.) was arrived there and was asked him
which sin he was committed by him.? So that he can repent in this
matter.” That holy person told him that “You have planted one
tree in some jungle and he was used to rest under that tree shade
and he used to say that he was doing that work for the sake of
Allah.” So prophet Khizer (A.S.) was repented in this matter.
Afterward that holy person said to him” In the matter of leaving
the world and he should follow him.” He asked him “ How it
is.?” “If he will be given the whole world and if it is said that
there will no account of this and then also if it will be said to
him that if you will not accept this then you will send to the hell.
Then also he will not accept this and he will prefer to go to the
hell instead of the world.” He was asked “Why.?” Then he said,
“Because there is an anger of Allah is there and Allah thinks the
world is his enemy. So I think hell is good instead of the world.”
Then the Sheikh of Islam said he was approached that holy
person and said “Salam to him.” He was replying Salam asked
me to come there. So there is a thought which came into my mind
how to pass from the water. Upon this thought the way was
created in the water and I was approached near that pious person.
After some time he said to me “ Oh : Farid since the period of 49
483
years he could not sleep on the ground and unless there will be
no traveler he does not use to eat his food. Also, unless he will not
give any portion of his food to others, he will not satisfy in this
matter. Because the name of Darweshi (mysticism) is to give
something to another from his portion.” At that time two cups of
stew and 4 breads were coming there by invisible source. He was
put one cup before me. We both of have eat bread with stew.
During the night after Eisha (night) prayer, he was started
supererogatory prayers. So I was also standing there. In two Rakat
he completed the recitation of 4 Quran. After finishing the prayer
he put his head in the prostration and he wept bitterly and in his
supplication he said “ Oh: my Lord, he could not do such worship
which is required by Your court so I could know in this matter.”
Afterward, after the morning prayer, he said goodbye to me
and I found myself on the bank of the river and that holy person
was vanished away from there and I could not know where he
was gone from there.
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “ Oh: Darwesh they
were able to get Darweshi (mysticism) and from the world except
the broken water pot they could not get anything. When the night
comes they used to throw the water from the water pot on the
earth and during the day and night they used to engage in the
following.”
1.Checking of the accounts
2.Loneliness
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish, one Darwish, who was
very pious, having property and wealth and he was used to saying
if he will be asked how he will spend the life in the world and he
will say he was in loneliness.”
Afterward, he said “ In the previous period there was a holy
person who was engaged with the condition of surprise for a
period of 20 years.He does not use to eat anything for a period of
one year. After one year when he will use to become conscious
then he will use to suck the date which will be kept in the
484
window of the mosque and then put it back there in its place.In
this, way he spent his life for a period of 50 years on one date and
which was not finished away and during that period he was
dead.”
The un-cleanliness of the manifest (Zaheri) and innermost

(Batin)
Afterward, he said “Once while passing from the street the
edge of Khwaja Bayazid Bustami’s shirt was touched with the
dog. When Khaja Saheb was folded his shirt’s edge, then the dog
said “ Oh: Khaja why you have folded your shirt’s edge?
Between me and you there is truce possible with the three waters.
And in me there is filth in the manifestation. If your shirt’s edge
will be touched with me then it will be cleaned by washing of the
water by three times. But your filth is more than me and which is
in the innermost. It is compulsory for you that you should leave
the filth of the innermost. If you wash yourself in the seven rivers,
then you will not become clear. Oh: Khwaja see you will be asked
by others to call yourself as Sultan Arifin and you are claiming of
Darwesh. Upon this you have kept stored the pot full of the wheat.
The Darweshi (mysticism) which is called and it is available to
me that if I will get one bone, then I will spend on it and not
stored for another day. But you claimed so much Darweshi
(mysticism) but still you stock wheat for the next day. When the
dog said then Khwaja Saheb made a slogan and he said “ He is
not eligible for the friendship and company of the dog in the
world. Then on the day of judgment how he will become eligible
for the company of the people of mysticism and in the court of
Allah.”
Upon finishing the details of the above benefits, then the
prayer call of afternoon prayer (Zahur) was started so Khwaja
Saheb went inside of the house so for this reason the well wisher
9.
485
The reality of Glim (blanket) and wool
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh then at

that time Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi, Sheikh Burhanuddin and
Moulana Yahiah were present in the service in the meeting place.
The discussion about wool and rag was started. With his holy
tongue, he said “ The dress of wool and rag belongs to the
prophets and holy persons. So this dress is legal to wear to those
persons whose manifest and as well as innermost is free from the
filth of the world because one who is Sufi person so he should be
free from the filth of the world.”
To wear of Glim (blanket) and wool is the practice of the

prophets
Afterward, he said “There is tradition was reported by the

prophet of Allah that it is the practice of the prophets of Allah to
wear rags and wool dress. When there will be any need for the
prophets, and holy persons, then they used to put the rag dress and
wool before them and used to pray Allah while making the
intercession of the rag dress and wool cap then Allah will
complete their important affairs.”
Afterward, he said “When the time of departure of the prophet
of the world was reached near then he told Ali Ibn Ali Taleb
(A.S.) who was present in his service and told him that he was
having a memorable rag dress of prophet Abraham (A.S.).and he
was commanded by Allah to give it Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (A.S.) so
that he should give to the persons of his Ummah (nation).”
Afterward, he said “ The commencement of wearing the rag
dress started from the time of prophet Ibrahim (A.S.). The start
of Qirqa (holy dress) was with him and also wearing of the rag
dress was also commenced from him. One day prophet Abraham
486
(A.S.) said in the court of Allah that he was able to know the way
of Safa (right). Now he required rag dress so at that time angle
Gabriel was brought him black rag dress for him and he said “ Oh
: Ibrahim (A.S.) there is a command of Allah that it was made for
him in the heaven. So wear it and make it practice of the usage
among your sons and it should reach to the last prophet of Allah.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam said “ In this conversation, it is
known that its origin is from the paradise and which was given to
prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and which is reached to us from him. So
the clean Darwish is one such person who wears the dress of
the prophets of Allah then he should fulfil its rights so that he
should not face disgrace on the day judgment in this matter.”
Afterward, he said when Khaja Basher Hafi was repented then
he get a rag dress and wool cap from his spiritual master and he
was not smiling for a period of forty years. So the persons asked
him the reason in this matter. He said from the day when my
spiritual master was awarded me rag dress and wool cap so since
that day he was in the condition of surprise. So he will not know
about himself. Because the spiritual master did his work. So it is
required of him to fulfil the rights of the rag dress and wool cap.
So the holy persons who did lots of work while wearing rag dress
and a wool cap. If I will not do such works, then on the day of
judgement, then the rag dress and wool cap a will become black
snake and will hang around my neck there. So those who will
wear rag dress and a wool cap, then how he should think about
the laugh.”
Afterward the Sheikh of Islam said with his holy tongue “
When Darwesh will wear rag dress and a wool cap with them,
then it is an obligation for him to adopt loneliness and seclusion
and leave with the meeting with rich and wealthy persons then he
will become the real Darwesh. So it is his right to wear the rag
dress and wool cap. But while wearing the rag dress and wool cap
and continue to visit the courts of kings, rich and wealthy persons
and visit the bazaar with the dress of the prophets and holy
487
persons so in that condition his rag dress and the wool cap should
be taken back and he will not be given permission to wear this
holy dress of the prophets because he is not eligible to wear this
holy dress.
The intercession of the rag dress and the wool cap
Afterward, he said “ The group of Mashaiq (learned persons)

like Junaid of Baghdad at the time of helplessness or at the time
of need they used to make intercession the rag dress and wool
cap and pray in the court of Allah then due to the rag dress and
wool cap their supplication was accepted by Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ When the prophet Musa (A.S) was taken
interest to wear the rag dress and wool cap and he was requested
in the court of Allah in this matter, then there was command of
Allah, in which he was heard “ Musa, you will not able to wear
the rag dress and a wool cap of our lovers unless you will not
thanks in this matter. First, thanks in this matter and then wear it
later. Upon hearing this command of Allah prophet Musa (A.S.)
came back to his house and given away all his belonging in the
house in the way of Allah and even he was given his dress on his
body. When he was nothing with him, then he went to the court of
his friend. Then there was a command came from Allah, “ Oh:
Mosa as you do not possess any filth of the world with you so
now you can wear the rag dress and the wool cap. So it is your
right to wear it now.”
In short when he has worn the rag dress, then he went into
loneliness for a period of ten years and not come out of it and he
was used to engage in the worship of Allah. At, that time Pharaoh
was become rebellious. The Sheikh of Islam began weeping and
he was reciting one couplet and its meaning is as follows.
Whenever he will be worried by the atrocities of Pharaoh
then at that time he used to pray in the court of court of Allah by
488
making intercession of the rag dress so for this reason there will
be no problem will befall upon him.
Afterward, he said “ He was heard with the holy tongue of
the Sheikh of Islam Bakhtiar Kaki that on the day of judgment
when the persons of the rag dress will be brought there and every
person will like drunk with divine love will come there while
putting the rag dress on his shoulder and in every rag dress there
will be 100,000 threads in it. The disciples and Murshid (spiritual
masters) will come there and hang with the threads there. Allah
will give them strength so that they will able to bear the weight
of all such persons. All will pass safely from the pathway of
paradise soon. Then they will reach into their places and they will
say there that where are those people who did not dis-obey from
their path. But they have done our service with great respect and
honour. So then friends will come there and will be cling with the
threads. And they will also cross the pathway of the paradise
safely. And afterwards all of them will reach to the paradise along
with the last prophet of Allah.
Afterward, he said “ The work are known by those persons
who will wear the rag dress and the wool cap and who know its
rights.”
Who deserve of Galim (blanket) and wool cap?
Afterward, he said “ The man of wool will be getting correct of
heart and when he will clear his innermost from the filth of the
world.” So the Sheikh of Islam said “ He should leave the
following things.
1. Malice
2. Greed and enmity
3. Greediness and lusting
4. Pride
5. Show
Unless the Sufi will not clear from the above things, then the
rag dress and wool cap will be not legal for him because it is the
religion of the people of wool persons.”
489
Afterward, he said “ He was seen in the books of mysticism

that Sultan Ibrahim Khawas was said about the religion of Sufism
that “One who have greed and enmity with the people of Sufism
and indigent persons, then they should do research with saying of
the ancient persons and then understand that they have
circumambulation of the garments and there is no outcome of it
and nor he will influence on it. On this matter there will be no
little effect on the indigent persons. Because the Fakir (Darwish)
is such person and there will be no signs of such things in him.
Oh : Darwesh there are many stages in indigence and Sufism. But
these stages will spoil by malice. And malice will created in the
heart of Sufi person when he will be desirous of worldly status
and property and wealth.”
Afterward, he said “ When the Sufi person will make the rag
dress for the kindness and the source of the rule, then that Sufi
person is false and he claims falsely.”
Afterward, he said “ He was seen in the book Umda of Khaja
Junaid of Baghdad in which it was mentioned that “In all
religions of Sufism to meet the Sufi person with the kings and the
people of the world is illegitimate.”
Afterward, he said with his holy tongue that “It was known
that in the religion of Sufi persons it is a must that in the morning
and evening there will be no malice and greed and enmity in his
heart of the Sufi person. Allah says the people of Sufism and
Galim (blanket) should keep away from the people of the world
and sins. And this thing will not be available unless leaving the
company of the people of the world and living in the company of
the Sufi persons.”
Afterward, he said “The people of miracles should know their
status and position. Allah was mentioned this attribute in the
Quran as follows.
“ Wa laqad karma bani Adam.” In some commentaries of the
holy Quran it was written that this verse is about the people of
490
Sufism. Because they have excelled over the other human beings.
The people of Sufims having excellence over all other creatures.”
Afterward, he said “Prophet Adam (A.S.) is called Safi and its
reason is that in the knowledge of incantation he accepted the
religion of Sufism.”
Afterward, he said “One who will not keep away from
illegitimate or doubtful loaf and who will not leave the company
of the king and wealthy persons, then he is not eligible to wear the
rag dress and wool cap. The value of rag dress and wool caps is
known by the following persons.”
1. Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.)
2. Prophet Mosa (A.S.)
3. The categories of Mashaiq (learned persons)
4. The people of knowledge
Afterward, he said “One who wears the rag dress and wool cap
then as per the requirement of the religion of Sufism he is not
permitted to eat delicious and sweet loaf of the food nor he
should have contact with the king and the people of the world. If
he will do like this then he is in the dress of the prophets and he
is cheater in the people of mysticism and he is not fulfilling its
rights.”
Afterward, he said “ There is a difference about the colour of
the rag dress and wool cap so some Mashaiq (learned persons) say
not to wear red green as it is this dress of Satan.”
Afterward, he said “ The categories of saints of Khaja Junaid
of Baghdad and some other Mashaiq they used to wear Pyjama
(trousers) of rag dress and shirt and a turban made of general
cloth, but there is a difference about Pyjama and some say the
prophet of Allah used to wear the above dress.”
Afterward, he said, “ One who did not disrespect this dress
and who did wear this dress and not desirous of more income
than normal and he is not greedy like other voracious people,
then he is a man of patience and a man who have trust on
Allah.”
491
Afterward, he said “ Once he arrived in Damascus as a

traveler, there and I have seen one pious person known as Sheikh
Shuhabuddin Zindubais there and who belongs to the relatives of
Hakeem Tarmazi. When I was arrived at his shrine building and
said Salam to him and who replied my Salam and asked me to sit
there. At that time some more Darwesh came there and they told
him that one of his disciples is having too many relations with the
people of the world. Upon hearing this that holy person was,
called by him there and he asked him to remove the rag dress
and wool cap and then put them in the fire and with great anger
asked him to get him out of there. Because he was not eligible for
the wool.”
Afterward, he said “ This is the dress of the prophets and
those who do not know about it, then on the day of judgment this
dress will be put in his neck and he will be asked to march in the
ground among all the creatures and then there will be call in this
matter that this person belonged to the group of wool and rag
dress and but he did not fulfil its rights.
The rules of religion of the Sufism
Afterward, he said “ The rules of mysticism and Sufism is that
the man should be always silent and he should be in a condition
of surprise. There are no use of the customs and knowledge. But
whatever is there is manners only. It is said “ Tuqluqu Bil
Akhlaqillah”, it means there is no success with customs and
knowledge, but on it is successfully with the manners.”
Afterward, he said “ The people of Sufism are enemies of the
world and whatever is there in it and they are friends of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “The people of Sufism are such strong persons
that when they are drowned in the engagement of invocation of
Allah, then they are unaware of other creatures. They remove in
between them the conversation and they will drown in the
witnessing the divinity, such that till their lives the friendship of
Allah will be available there in their hearts.” Afterward, he began
weeping and he said “The name of Sufism is that the Sufi does
492
not possess anything with him and he should not become the
property of the others, then his condition will become like this so
he will become eligible to wear the rag dress and wool cap.”
Afterward, he said “ Once one holy person was asked what is
the thing of perfection in love and Sufism.?” He said that “ A
person should perform the five times prayers on the empyrean in
the sky.”
Afterward, he said“ The mysticism is the name of the pure
friendship of Allah. The real mystic person will get the
excellence of love of the Allah in the both worlds.”
Afterward, he said “ The Sufi is that person when he will get
cleansed, then everything will not be kept away from his sight. ”
Afterward, he said “ There are 70 grades of the people of
mysticism are there. Among those, positions there is one status is
that to be free from all desires of this world. “
Afterward the discussion about the love of reality was started.
So he said “ Among the people the affair of the love, it is initiated
due to the witnessing of the lover. When the people do
exaggeration in the endeavour, then they will able to get
revelation and when revelation will become witnessing the lover
then he will get the blessing of the observation of the beloved and
there will be an increase of love in this matter and there will be
increase of status there and the veil will be removed in between
them and upon reaching at a special position then the lover will
get satisfaction in this matter. Then he will fall in the condition of
surprise.”
When the Sheikh of Islam ended these benefits, then he began
to shut, tears and he was repeating some couplets with his holy
tongue 1000 times which he was heard one time by Khaja
Bakhtiar Kaki. When he began repeating the couplets, then his
surprise was used to increase in this matter.
Afterward, he said “ On the lover if there will be a fall of the
secrets of divine light and radiance 100 times in every movement
then he will not be satisfied in this matter. This request will be
493
continued till he will not able to get all desires of the

observation. So oh: Darwesh the people who do this work and
they are always found in the observation of the friend. Their any
movement is not free from the observation. In this situation he
was heard some couplets from Masnavi from Qazi Hameeduddin
Nagori in which there was a description of drowning of the lover
in the surprise.
To endurance of the sight of Laila
Afterward, he said “ One who is a lover of the beloved then in
his sight, he like all things of the beloved. The lover like the street
of the beloved. This thing will be happening due to very much of
the love. As per tradition one day Majnu did not eat his food. One
deer was caught in his net then he was respected and admired her
and freed her from his net. And he said “ The eyes of the deer are
similar to the eyes of Laila. So how he can give her trouble which
is similar to his lover.”
Afterward, he said “ One who is a complete lover of Allah. So
there will affect of un-consciousness on him at the beginning of
the Mushada (witnessing the divinity). Because he is drowning in
it. So it must require un-seriousness upon him. So he will
become drowned at the time of witnessing of the divinity.”
So once Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori wrote about the
overcoming of love that the people of the tribe of Majnu said to
the people of the tribe of Laila that “ Majnu is being killed due to
the love Laila. So in this what is hindrance that a sight of Laila
should be shown to Majnu.” They said “ There is a hindrance to
him, because he will not bear on this matter.” Then there was
very much pressure on this matter, then Majnu was taken at the
residence of Laila and the veil was made between them. Still the
shadow of Laila was not reached there and Majnu was becoming
unconscious there and he was fallen on the earth and he was
beginning restlessly. So they said “ As we have not told that
Majnu will not bear the sight of Laila.” At, that time the Sheikh
of Islam made a slogan and he was becoming unconscious there.
494
When he was becoming conscious then he began reciting one

couplet relating to this situation.
Afterward, on this situation, he said “ His brother Sheikh
Bahuddin Zakaria once he was drowned in the world of love and
fondness. On him, there was prevailed surprise and condition of
the love. So every time he was used to reciting two couplets and
he was used to become unconscious. So for this reason, he was
drowned in the surprise of those two couplets in seven days and
nights and due to this reason he becomes unaware of the world
and whatever there in the world.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh you do not know what
secrets and lights will prevail upon the heart and for which he will
be drowned in this matter and this condition is known either to the
lover or the beloved that what is a relation in between them.”
Afterward, he said “ He was seen in the book, Israr Arifin that
one holy person did worship in the loneliness for a period of forty
years and rarely he used to see the creature. One day the persons
have asked him that his sight is not seen frequently and what is
the reason in this matter.?” He said “ The people of mysticism if
they will engage with the mankind, then they will be away from
the nearness of Allah. So, for this reason, he is living in the
loneliness and during the period of 40 years, he is away from the
pleasure of the world. ”
When the Sheikh of Islam was reached at this point, then the
call of afternoon prayer (Zahur) was started so Khaja Saheb went
inside of the house so, for this reason, the well wisher and all
other persons left from the meeting place.
10.
The stages of love

that time Sheikh Burhanuddin, Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi, and
Badruddin Gaznavi were present in the service in the meeting
place. He said with his holy tongue “ Oh: Darwish there are 700
495
stages of love. The first stage is that whatever calamity will be

sent to him from his friend then he should be patient on this.”
He said “In the book Kitab Mohabbat I have seen there was
one tradition, written in it and which was reported by Abu Huraira
in which the prophet said “The love of Allah is like the king and
which is not get tranquility in every heart. But it is found in that
heart which is suitable for that love. That it is according to the
order of the sky and which is created in the heart in which there
will be found out painfully.”
He said the prophet said, “ The love is like a scorpion on
which that person will put his step and one who will not think
about 18,000 worlds and not see anybody in between it and he
should see only his friend and in which he will become involved
in the oneness”
Afterward, he said the prophet said: “ The parts of the body
of the lover are made with love.” That person from disposition,
able to know and he will make the slogan of “ Rabbi Arni Anzar
Alaik ’’and he knows always what is the love of the Allah.? So
oh: Darwish in the eye in which there will available the antimony
of love so for him there is nothing hidden in his eyes the things
from the empyrean to the nether region.”
Afterward, he said “ The love of should be like the love of
prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) with Allah and for the sake of friendship
he was ready to sacrifice his son. When Allah saw him his
firmness in his love, then he was given command not to sacrifice
the son and instead of his son, Allah he sends sacrifice from the
heaven.”
Afterward, he said “ On the day when prophet Ibrahim (A.S.)
was made the slogan of the friendship of Allah, then angel Gabriel
requested in the court of Allah to check him in this matter so he
was given permission from there and he was commanded well to
go for the checking. The angel Gabriel was sent down and he was
reached on the top of the mountain and he was called “Oh: Allah”
in loud noise. At that time prophet Ibrahim (A.S) was engaged in
496
the building of Holy Kaaba in Makkah. He came out and asked to

call one more time the name of Allah. Then the angel Gabriel said
to him, “ To bring the thanksgiving to him.” When the Sheikh of
Islam was reached at this point, then he began to shut, tears and
recited two couplets from the Masnavi. (Verse comprising
couplets)
In short the prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) said: “ He had many
thousand camels with him, which he was given in Sadqa (charity)
of Allah.” So he asked him “To call one time, “Oh: Allah.” Then
the angel Gabriel said “ Oh: Allah.” So whatever he had with was
given in the way of Allah. Then he asked to say one more time,
“Oh: Allah.” So angel Gabriel said to him, “ This time what he
will give.?” He said “In the body there is a soul which will be
given by him.” So angel Gabriel said “ Oh: Allah.” And for this
reason, he was becoming unconscious and he felled to the ground.
When he was becoming conscious then angle Gabriel said
Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) in reality he is truly in the friendship of
Allah. So when he returned back in the court of Allah, he said
while putting his head in the prostration and he said “ Prophet
Ibrahim (A.S.) in reality is true in the friendship.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish in the love of Allah, such
person is truly one who will be engaged in the worship of Allah
and he should not be away from the engagement in the worship of
Allah even for a moment.”
The people of mysticism said “ The people who used to
remember things very much which they love them.In the same
way one who will love Allah, then he will not be away from the
invocation of Allah.” Then he said “ He was seen in the book
Hujjat al-Arifin that one who will have love anything, then he will
remember it very much.”
Afterward, he said “Once Khaja Hasan of Basra was sitting
with Rabia of Basra and they were discussing about the love of
Allah. Khaja Hasan said “There was came an idea into his mind
that he is male and she is female person. When he was left there
497
he said by swearing that he was found him poor and she is

sincere in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ If all legal and un-limit world will be
given to the friends of Allah, then they will ashamed in this matter
to take all of them like the man is away from the unclean thing.”
The fire of love and sincerity of love

Afterward, he said “ He was seeing one pious person in
Baghdad who was frustrating his head so many times in the
prostration and he was praying to Allah, oh: Allah, if you send
me to hell on the day of judgement then I will disclose one secret
of the love there. So for this reason, the hell will run away from
him to a distance of a journey of 1000 years. Because nobody
could not do a competition of the fire of the love. If someone
will do competition, then he will be destroyed.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Rabia of Basra was in the
condition of fondness and affection and she was doing prostration
so many times, then used to stand there and she prayed.
."Allah! If I worship You for fear of hell, burn me in hell,
and if I worship You in hope of Paradise, exclude me from
paradise.
But if I worship You for Your Own sake,
grudge me not Your everlasting Beauty.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish if the lovers will be given

all things duly decoration, then they will not look at such things.
They will only search for the reality of love.”
Afterward, he said “When Khaja Bayazid of Bustam used to
engage in fondness then he used to stand three nights and days or
four nights and days and used to say in a loud noise that such day
will come when this earth will be folded and new earth will be
created.”
Afterward, he said “When Ibrahim bin Adham was asked why
he was leaving his country and throne.? ’’ He said “ Once he was
498
sitting there and at that time the mirror of love was shown to me.
When I looked it then I found my destination of the grave was
there. Where there was no company available with me there and
also there were no goods of the journey with me there. There has
been just judge is there, but I found nothing with me. At that time
the love of country was left of his heart. So I left my kingdom
and migrated to another country.”
Afterward, he said, “ The love of Allah is like the king when it
will enter into someone's heart, then it will not give permission of
the other things to live in that heart”. Afterward, he said “ Once
he was met one Darwesh in Ghazni who belongs to the people of
the love. From him, he was asked “ Oh: Darwesh is there result
of love is there or not.?” When he heard this question then
scolded me and he said: “ Oh: lair there is no limit to the love.”
Afterward, he said, “ The love of Allah is such a sword and
when it will fall on anything, then it will cut it into many pieces.”
The love of Allah
Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki that there is love of Allah, which is
available in the all parts of the human body. In the man’s
disposition there is available love. If there is an eye, then it
should be drowned and engaged in the love of the friend. If there
are legs are there, then they should engage in the reality of love.
So oh: Darwesh the parts of the human body are not free from the
love of the Allah.”
Afterward the Sheikh said with a holy tongue that “ The heart
of lover of Allah is like a such lamp which is kept in lantern of
light and its light is spreading in the world. So there will be no
fear of darkness to such person.”
Afterward, he said “ The silence of the soul is the invocation of
Allah. One who is engaged in the invocation of Allah, then his
heart will not die. One who is not engaged in the invocation of
Allah, then to him there will no effect of grace on him.”
499
Afterward, he said “ He was seen in the book of Kitab

Mohabbat that hunger is like a cloud and with it there will be
rain of mercy.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Bayazid of Bustam was asked what
is the of love reality.? ” He said “ The name of love of Allah is
that thing it means to take out from the heart the world and
whatever available in the world.”
Afterward, he said “ The love of reality belongs to the
country of the love and its king who is sitting on the throne and
who is holding the sword of Faraq (separation) and Hijar
(parting). And he was given union of Nergis (narcissus) in the
hand of Qaza (fate). And every moment there will be used to cut
1000 of the heads by the sword. So one who is the lover of Allah,
then if his head will be cut for thousand times, then again his head
is created there. So if his head will be cut like this way, then he
should not go back from this way. Then the Sheikh of Islam
recited two couplets.
The lover’s call
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish once one lover at the time
of his killing was telling something slowly so the friends
approached him and heard that he was saying “ When he was
living in the world then he was living with His name and now he
is leaving the world with His name. And his resurrection will be
happening in the invocation of His name.” Afterward, he said “
He called the name of Allah in loud noise and he died there.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was reached on this point and he
began to shout, to tear and he said “ The lover will die in this way
and in this situation he was reciting two couplets.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish at the bank of the water
reservoir of Shamsi in Delhi he was heard two couplets from a
Derwesh of the grace of love and so at that time there was such
condition of ecstasy which prevailed there and which could not
exist like that any time.
500
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh he was heard with the

tongue of Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori that once he came to
Baghdad from Bukhara and he has seen there one holy person
who was a person of grace and who drowned very much in the
love of Allah. When I said Salam to him and he has seen him in
such a condition that which could not be described in the words.
He was drowned in the invocation of Allah, such that due to this
reason he was un-aware of his own condition.”
In short, he was in his service. When he will prostrate then
while weeping, he used to pray the following and become un-
conscious.
“ Oh: Allah, he was not made a such prostration in Your presence
which is eligible for Your excellence in Your court. ”
Afterward, he said “ If there life is there, then it is available in
the knowledge. There is a comfort which is available in the
Marafat (knowledge of Allah). There is fondness is there in the
love. The pleasure is there in the invocation of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he was present in the service of

Sheikh Shabuddin Suherwardi and Sheikh Oud Kirmani. There
was discussion about mysticism was in progress. Sheikh
Shabuddin said “ Knowledge is God and Marafat is a course of
action. And the love is witness of the divinity. With the help of
endeavours the witness of divinity is available.
Afterward, he said “ When one who kills his heart with
pleasure and lust. Then it covers in the coffin of curse and bury it
in the earth of regret.”
Afterward, he said “ The lovers of Allah except meeting of
friend will not agree on anything.”
Afterward, he said “ The lovers of Allah will not avail the
facility of the witnessing the divinity unless they will not leave
the mankind and live in the loneliness and also they will not get
the position in the mankind and unless the lovers do not think the
following.
501
1. Friends as enemies
2. Woman and sons as orphans and prisoners
When they will follow such things, then they will able to get
status and position in this matter.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam began to shut with tears and
started reciting some couplets.
The status of Majzub (one lost in divine meditation)
Afterward, he said “ Once he was met with one Majzub on
the way and we both began our journey and we have reached in
one jungle. Then there was tremendous demand for the water for
myself and there was no sign of the water there. But I could not
express about thirsty due to the presence of the pious person.”
In short, that holy person by his pureness of heart he was
able to know that I was thirsty, so he was asked “Are you
thirsty.?” I told him “Yes”. So he strikes his feet on the earth
immediately, so for this reason, the water stream started from
there. He asked me to drink water full of stomach. Upon drinking
water I got such taste which I could not get from any water so far
in my whole life period. Upon passing from there, we have
reached to our destination. Then that pious person after
performing the Maghrib (sunset) prayer was engaged in the
worship of Allah there. After some time he addressed me and he
said “ Oh: my son on the day of judgement when the people of
love will leave from the grave and then all of them will camp in
their tents at the gates of the hell. When they look at the hell, then
the fire of the hell will become extinguish and it will not raise
then there will be hope of comfort for the people there. And then
there will be relief of fire available to the people. For this reason,
they will be camping in the tents at the gates of the hall.”
Afterward, he said “Once he and Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori
were together in one place. At that time one person came there
and asked “ What is Farz (obligation) and what is Sunnah
(practice of the holy prophet).?” Qazi Saheb told him “The
502
company of the spiritual master is the obligation and leaving of

the world and other things are called Sunnah.”
some holy person that Darwish is such person, one who will
search the treasure of his heart (and this is called disrespect of
the other world) and so if he will get that pearl which is called
love, then he will be called the person having attribute of
Darwesh.”
Afterward, he said, “ The love will reach at the point of
perfection when one who leave everything in the love of Allah
and he should not love the mankind.” Afterward, he said, “When
the such condition as per above will prevail with Darwesh, then
Allah will take him to His nearness.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki was asked
how to reach towards Allah.?” He said “ The blindness,
dumbness and deafness and when all these things will be leaving
from him then think that person a man of Allah. Unless these
enemies will be attached to him, then there will be nothing
possible in this matter. The people of love will not get tranquility
in any places except in the following four places.
1.The lonely corner of the house where there will be no
disturbances of any person.
2.The mosque, which is placed of the friends.
3.The graveyard which is place of lesson (Ibrat) for the sinners
4.The place where there is no access for others. It means the place
where except the lover and the beloved are there, then nobody
will not be there.”
Afterward, the Sheikh of Islam began to shut, tears and recited
by with his tongue two couplets.
Afterward, he said “ He thinks that the friendship of Allah,
which is equal to the black grain is equal to the worship of
70,000 years without the friendship of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ The work of the women is better than
man because they take a bath every month and become clean a
503
pure, and we do not take a bath in our whole lives and not become
clean and pure.”
The gift of love and willingness
Afterwards he said “ Khaja Bayazid said that he went on the
condition of fondness and keenness to the court of the friend
alone there he was surrounded around Malkut (world of angles) so
there was command of Allah “Oh: Ba Ya-zid what you have
brought gifts in Our court.?” He was replied “ He brought the
love and willingness to both these things You are king. Then
there came calling that good thing you have brought there. This
thing is suitable for our court.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he saw one Darwesh who was used
to engage very much in the invocation of Allah (Ziker) in
Lahore who was a great holy person as well as a great person in
the invocation of Allah there. In short, upon getting the honour of
kissing his feet and he lived with him for a period of some days
there with him. When he will use to perform the obligatory
prayer, then he was used to a do invocation of Allah very much
that there will discharge of the perspiration from his pores of his
body and which will fall on the earth more than 100 times. Then
he used to stood and he used to say “ He was seen in the book of
Kitabe Mohabat in which it was mentioned that Allah say when
His invocation is becoming overpowering on the Momin (faithful)
person then as I am his Lord then used to become his lover.” It
means he used to love him. So why the human beings should be
keep him away from this grace and why he should not engage in
the invocation of Allah?.”
Afterward, he said, “ Allah was especially created the hearts
for this purpose only that they should circumambulate around the
empyrean.” Afterward, he said “There are three kinds of hearts as
follows.
1. Some are such type of mountains which did not move like
hearts of Majnu (desperately in love).
504
2. Some are such type of trees which will stand on the roots and
their branches move with the winds.
3. Some are such type of leaves which move as per the direction
of the winds.
Among the claimant of love who is true.?

Afterward, he said “ In the of love such person is truly one
who is not like the thing other than the love of Allah.” Afterward,
he said “ When prophet Mosa (A.S.) was commanded by Allah to
proceed in the court of Pharaoh then he was instructed to talk with
him with the calmness and slow. So that his heart may not hurt in
this matter.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was reached on this point and he
began to shout, to tear and he said “ To see the person who is
claiming that he is God and he says “Ana Rabakumal Ala.” And
for such person Allah is very kind enough to him that Allah does
not want to hurt him. So the person one who says five times “
Subhan Rabibul Ala.” Then how he should be disappointed with
the kindness of Allah. So such person will never disappoint from
the kindness of Allah. Because there will be kindness and mercy
in his favour from Allah.”
Afterward, he said, “ One who is a lover of the Allah in the
world and who will engage in the invocation of Allah, then on
the day of judgement there will be no punishment for him there
and he will be free from the punishment of the day of Masher (the
day resurrection).”
Afterward, he said “ When Qaroon was reached down with
his wealth and properties to the fourth layer of the earth and then
there he was asked by the people of that world who are you and
what sin you have done there.? Why did you throw inside of the
earth.? He replied “ He belongs to the nation of prophet Musa
(A.S.) and he was not paid Zakat (religious tax) on his wealth and
properties and he was declared himself equal with the prophet of
505
Musa (A.S.). For this reason he is facing such condition in this

matter. When Qaroon said the name of prophet Mosa (A.S.) then
immediately at that time there was a command to the angles to
allow Qaroon to stay there and not take to him further down.
Because he remembered my friend’s name. So for Him it is
obligation that he should not punish him in this matter.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was reached on this point he began
to shout, to tear and he said: “ One who is engaged in the
invocation of Allah then surely he will get his purpose on the day
of judgement in this matter and he will be blessed with the divine
light.”
Afterward, he said “ One day Khaja Yousuf Chisti was asked
who are the people of love.?” Then he replied “Such persons
who are engaged with friends and not engage in the other things.
Because the person who is happy with other thing than his friend
then he is actually near the grief and one who love his friend,
then he will never feel horror .One who will not love his friend
then in that case his claim is not right.”
Afterward, he said “ The man who is having courage
towards love, then soon he will become a pious person. The man
who is not having courage then he will reach towards the hell.”
Afterward, he said when “ The person of love when he
will claim for the kingdom then so in reality, one should know in
this matter that he is away from the love.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was reached at this point, then
Khaja Saheb went inside of the house so for this reason the well
11.
The reality of fear and trust

that time Moulana Burhanuddin Hansavi, Sheikh Baderuddin
Ghaznavi and other dear persons were present at the meeting
506
place. At that time the discussion about fear and trust was started.
He told with holy tongue “ Oh : Darwesh the fear is like flog for
rude persons. So that due to fear of Allah, they should be away
from the sins and follow the right way.”
The heart and fear of Allah
After he said “ Allah says in the holy Quran “Oh: my slave is

that time doesn't come to you that due to My fear your heart will
become soft. Or is anybody is there among you who should make
truce with Us.” It means doing repentance which We will accept
it.”
Afterward, he said “ There is fear of his justice (Adal) and
there is hope due to his Fazal (favour). So the respectable person
of His court is such person, one who is having the above two
things in him.”
Afterward, he said “ One pious person wept for a period of 40
years due to the fear of Allah. When he will remember the death
then he was used to shiver like the leaves of cane tree and he was
used to become unconscious 1000 times. When he will become
conscious then he will recite the following verse from the holy
Quran.”
“ It means the pious person will be sent to the paradise and
sinners and disobedient persons will be sent to the hell.”
Afterward by making slogan he was again become
unconscious and fall on the ground. And he used to say among
these two groups in which group he belongs he did not know.?
After his death somebody saw him in his dream and asked him
how Allah treated him? He replied him, “ He was given the
treatment of friends. When he was taken under the empyrean and
he was asked “ Oh :Darwesh why you used to weep so much and
did you not know that I am not Gaffer (The Forgiver).” He said “
He was afraid due to His Qahari (The Dominant,) so that all his
worship may not spoil in this matter. For this fear he was used to
507
weep in this matter very much. When he said this then there was
command to go we have forgiven you.”
Afterward, he said “ When prophet Yahiah (A.S.) was even a
child, then once he was weeping very much so for this reason the
flesh and skin from the cheek was melted there. In short, one day
he was weeping very much while putting his head in the
prostration of the mountain and his mother was reached there.
Upon seeing his condition she was affected very much due to her
mother love. He thought her that the angel of death came there.
So he said “To stop for a while. So that he can see the sight of her
mother.” After hearing this her mother made a slogan and she said
“ Oh: the life of your mother, I am not the angel of death but your
mother. So accompany with me and have food.”
In short, not doing disobedience in this matter he was
accompanied with his mother and he came to his house. His
mother told him “ Oh: Yahiah you are still a boy and you didn't
do any sin for which you are weeping very much in this matter.”
He said her, “ You are right in this matter. But if I will be put into
the hell on the day of judgement, then can you take me out of
there.?” She said “No”. “ So it is not right for you to keep me
away from weep and fear of Allah. Because I have started the
course of action from today in this matter. So that on the day of
judgement I will be safe from the punishment of the hell.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the prophets and holy
persons used to melt due to the fear of Allah just like the gold in
the test cup. Because nobody knows what will be his result and
how he will pass from the world?.”
The excess of fear of Allah
Afterward, he said “ One holy person Abdullah Khafif did not
sleep for a period of 40 years and due to fear of Allah, he wept
very much and for this reason, there was formed hollowness in his
cheeks. In which the birds made nestles there. But he was
engaged such in the surprise in the fear of Allah so he was not
un-aware of it in this matter. When he was used to explain about
508
the events of grave and day of judgment than he was used become
shiver like the leaves of cane tree and become unconscious and
fell down there and used to become restless like the fish and
when he will become conscious then he was used to reciting the
following verse of the Quran.”
“ One group will be in the paradise and another group will be in
the hell.” And he used to weep bitterly and said “In which group
he belongs.?” Afterward, he said “ His condition was such till his
last period of his life and also in such condition he was left in the
world. ”
Afterward, he said with his tongue that “ Imam Hanifa of Kufa
did not sleep for a period of 30 years and during that period if
there will overpower of sleep than he was used to become
unconscious for one day and one night or more than this period.
When he will become conscious then he was used to scold the
soul in this matter and he used to tell him that you did not have a
show of any sincerity which is required in the court of Allah. For
this purpose on the day of judgement you will not be successful,
there as you have not recognized Allah as per its requirements.
Oh : soul you will be helpless in the both worlds. In this way he
spent his life in the world. He was used to mourn for himself and
weep in this matter. At the time of reading the Quran when he will
reach on the verse of punishment, then he was used to stand in the
condition of surprise for a period of one or two years, but in such
a way that no creature won't be able to know in this matter. When
he will become conscious then he used to say that it is a matter of
surprise that if Abu Hanifa will be successful on the day of
judgment.”
Afterward, he said “ There was no sign of the flesh of the
body of one pious young man due to fear of Allah. When the
night fall, then he was used to put a rope on his neck and he used
to hang with the roof and used to weep throughout the night.
When he goes in prostration then he used to say that he did so
many sins and there was no limit on them. Oh: Lord, if You saw
509
all my sins, then how He can show his black face there.? And in
this way he spent his whole life that he was used to weep in the
night and he was used to become un-conscious. When he will
become conscious then he used engaged in the worship of Allah,
such that there was no care of himself. When he becomes ill, then
he was kept one brick under his head and when his last time came
then he was called his old mother there and he told her that when
he will die then while putting a rope on his neck to be moving his
corpse in the four corners of the house and at that time it should
be said “ This person was such who is fleeing from the court of
His owner.” The second thing is that his funeral rites should be
performed in the night so that anybody could not see him.
Because if anybody will see then he will regret for my sins. The
third thing is that when he will be put in the grave than she should
be present there. The angles may punish me, but due to the a
grace of your feet and sigh of your chest I may be forgiven
there.” upon this advice he was dead. When that person died, then
his mother wants to put a rope on the neck of that person, but
there came a call from the corner of the house that a friend was
met His friend. So leave your hand from this young man. Nobody
does do such thing with the friends of Allah. Do not put the rope
on that person. Because he is one of His friends. I have forgiven
him.”
The weeping of the fear

Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh one day Khaja Hasan of
Basra wept greatly that there was a drain of tears was flown.
Rabia of Basra was standing under the building so she came to the
upper side of the house and she was seen that Khaja Hasan of
Basra was weeping there. So she asked him “Why he is weeping
there.? He said “ Due to fear of Allah. I do not know on the day
of judgement in which group he will be there.”
Afterward, he said “ The prophet of Allah said, “One who
does not have fear of Allah then he does not have faith. He is not
510
even Muslim. Because such person is Muslim in whose heart

there is fear of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Khaja Mansur Emad was passing
from one street and he was heard loud voice of weeping from one
house in which one person was saying oh: Lord, I have done
many sins and I do not know what will be happen to me.?” When
he was heard this then he was reached near the house upon
hearing his weeping, he put his mouth on the gap in the house and
he began weeping and he put his hand in the gap in the house and
he recited the following.”
“ The hell is such a place and its fuel are men and the stones on
them there will be appointed strict angels who do not have
mercy for anybody. As per the commandments of Allah, they treat
with the men accordingly.” Khaja Mansur said
when he was reciting the above verse from the Quran then there
was a voice came from inside of the house. After some time he
was hearing a slogan and one person was dead there. Afterward,
he stayed there for some time, but he was not heard any voice
from inside of the house so he left from there and he proceeded
further. At the daybreak I went to that house again and inquire
about the condition there and saw the funeral was ready
there.When I was going to ask who is the owner of this house?,
and then one old weeping lady came out of the house so asked
her “What is her relation with deceased person”?, then the old
lady told me that “She is the mother of the deceased person. That
person who died was a very pious person and he used to be in
prayer of Allah throughout the night and he was used to keep
fasting during the day and he belonged to the family of the
prophet of Allah. Today in the early hours of the morning he was
engaged in the hymens of Allah and at that time one person was
passed from his house and who was reciting one verse from the
holy Quran. He was dying immediately upon hearing that verse
and he was falling down to the earth. Upon hearing this Mansour
began weeping and he said“ He was that person who was recited
511
that verse at his house in the early hours of the morning today.”
Afterward, he was joined in his funeral prayer.”
Afterward Sheikh of Islam made a slogan and he was
becoming unconscious and he was in such condition for one day
and one night. When he was becoming conscious then he said “
Khaja Abdullah Tastari was weeping in the fear of Allah
continuously for a period of 40 years. During this period nobody
did not see him without weeping. He was asked questions “ Oh:
gentleman you were not seen without weeping.? And what is
reason in this matter.? He said “ Dear persons when there will be
fear and horror on the day judgement and on that day the parents
will not care about their sons, sons will not care for the parents,
and father will flee from the sons, son will flee from a father and
brother from brother and Muslim from Muslim. So for this reason
there will be no laughing in this matter and so how such person’s
weeping will not be stopped.? That person is hard hearted one
who will not weep for the fear of that day and who will not think
about this thing that how to become successful there from those
difficult situations in this matter.”
He said “ The prophet said on the day of judgement all people
will be raised with fear and with weeping. But as the holy
persons who used to weep at the world will be raised with
laughing and they will not care about the day of judgment.”
Afterward, he said “ Allah said about the prophet that he is His
friend. But despite of his greatness and holiness and when there
will be fear of Allah on him, then he was used to be drowned in
it and in that condition there will be no information from him for
the day and night. He was used to stand in the prayers during the
night time and due to this hard work there will be cracks in the
feet and there will be a discharge of blood from his feet. When he
was asked in this matter, then he said “ Oh: my companions on
the day of judgment if he and his friend prophet Eisa (A.S.) will
be put into the hell so who will say there not to do such thing.
Because all worlds belong to Allah. The person who does an
512
extravagance in his kingdom, then it will not say as injustice.

The injustice is called when such an extravagance will be done in
the kingdom of another person.”
Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Najamuddin Mutwakil was used
to engage very much in the invocation of Allah. I was travelling
so much, but I could not see such a person who did such
invocation of Allah equal to him. When there will fear of Allah on
him, then he could not able to know the following details.
1. The name of day
2. The name of month
3. Details of the year
Such condition will be prevailed upon him always and he was
used to be found drowned in the condition of surprise.”
The person who is having fear is called fearful and the
following 3 things are required of him.
1. To eat less for the fasting
2. To less talk for the prayer
3. To sleepless for the invocation of Allah
So if the above 3 things don't find in any person then he is not
called the fearful person.”
Afterward, he said “ As the above 3 things are necessary for
the Darwesh person and, in the same way, there is required and it
is a must for him to have fear, hope and love with him. If there
will be fear in the heart, then he will be escaping from the sins.
Then he will able to get salvation. To keep in his heart the hope
of the sincerity which he was done by him, which will enable
him to get the position in the paradise. To recover from the bad
things is called the love and with which the willingness of Allah
is available.”
The trust of Allah

513
Afterward, he said, “ That person is a wise person, one who

will depend on Allah in all his works and he should not keep any
kind of the hope from others.”
Afterward, he said “ Once there was the desire of Rabia of
Basra to perform the Hajj pilgrimage so she was going to
Makkah on the donkey. When she reached in the jungle her
donkey died there and her luggage was fallen on the earth. So
the people came to her and told her that they will carry her goods
to Makkah. She told them that she does not depend on their trust.
On whom she had trust will take all her baggage to Makkah.
Upon saying this the caravan left from there and she was left
alone in the jungle. Then she looks at the sky and she said “ Oh:
Lord, how You have treated with this weak lady and killed her
donkey in the jungle.” Still the conversation was not completed
then the donkey become alive, so she put her luggage on the
donkey and continued her journey of Hajj pilgrimage towards
Makkah.
Afterward, he said “ Ibrahim bin Adham lived a life of trust of
Allah for a period of 30 years and he was away from the mankind
and during this period he was not contacted with any side. When
he was, decided to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, then he thought
the people to go to Makkah for Hajj pilgrimage on the feet so he
will go to Makkah by his head. So he was used to perform two
Rakat prayer at every step of the journey. When he was preceded
in the jungle and he found 70 dead persons in the veils and their
heads were cut from the bodies and blood was passing from their
heads. Among them one person was in critical condition and who
was, called him “ Oh : Ibrahim as you see us in the dead condition
and its details are that we altogether 70 Sufi persons were there.
We were proceeding for the Hajj pilgrimage on the trust of Allah
and was promised by Allah that we will not talk with anybody.
When we have reached in this jungle, then prophet Khizer (A.S.)
was arrived there so we were engaged with him and visiting him
and at that time heard a divine call in which it was said
514
“Oh:people of the bad agreement and false claimant persons did

you promise like this with Us .? You have ignored your promise
in this matter and engaged with the un-related person. At that time
suddenly one sword was coming from the sky and which cut all
our heads. Oh : Ibrahim one who will step on the way of trust,
then when he will ignore a little in this matter than his condition
will become like this same as per our condition. That person who
was in the veil upon telling the details of the event died there. So
Ibrahim bin Adham was surprised in this matter. When he reached
in Makkah, he was seen that at some place Rabia of Basra was
sitting there and Kaaba was circumambulating around her. So
upon seeing this Ibrahim bin Adham was surprised in this matter.
And he told Rabia what loud and cry, she had made there.? Then
Rabia told him whether she or he.? For 14 years he has been
going for Haj pilgrimage, but he could not sighted the Kaaba.
Upon asking the reason in this matter, then she told him that you
had desired to look the Kaaba but she had desired to see the
owner of Kaba. So one who had a desire to look the owner then
he will enter into the house.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh, Khaja Qutubuddin Chisti
spend a period of 20 years on the trust of Allah and he was away
from the creatures. During this period if there will be
requirements in the kitchen, then the cook used to ask in this
matter, then he used to instruct him and show him the place from
where he can get money and grains as much as required by him in
the kitchen and provide the food for the Darwesh persons.”
Afterward, he said “That person is eligible to sit in the shrine,
one who will live in the condition of trust of Allah and he should
not desire for the creatures and not need anything from others. If
the above things are not found in him, then he is not eligible to sit
in the shrine. So for this reason, he is a false claimant as per
sayings of the mystic persons in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ Trust was that which was available to
Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki. So he was not seen by collecting the money
515
from conquests. He was not seen or heard by expecting something

from other persons. When the servants need some money or
grains in the food of the Darwesh persons so he was used to give
them gold coins from the prayer mat and this money they used to
spend from the morning until evening. When there will come a
traveler in the shrine building , then he will not allow to go empty
hands and he used to give some money. There will be no decrease
of food items in the cloth which used to spread for eating of the
Darwesh.”
Afterward, he said “For the people of trust in the reality when
there will come such time for them that if they will be thrown
into the fire then they will not know anything in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Khaja Habib was arrived in the
country of Damascus as a traveler there. In the condition of the
trust, he used to stay in nights in the lonely places away from the
inhabitants. From the invisible source he was used to get food
supplies for him. At the time of daybreak he, was used to
continue his journey towards Damascus. When he reached in
Damascus, he was seen there one holy person and who was very
much engaged in the worship of Allah. That holy person used to
keep fast during day time and in the night time he was used to be
engaged in the worship of Allah. He went inside his residence and
said Salam to him. He asked him to sit there so he was sitting
there. So there was thought came into his heart that as he's living
in the jungle so how he will get the food provision there.When
this thought came into his mind then that holy person told him “
He is living in the jungle for a period of 70 years.He was
receiving the sustenance by invisible source. If you stay tonight as
his guest then you will be know my level of my trust and able to
know from where he was used to eat my food.”
In short, he was prayed Maghrib (sunset) prayer with that holy
saint and at that time one person came over there on the back of
the tiger with the food provision and with Dastar Qan ( piece of
cloth spread on ground for serving dishes on). When he came
516
near that pious person then he spread Dastar Qan and he stood
while folding his hands at the some distance away from him.
When that holy person was finished his prayer and he was asked
to bring a hawker’s tray before him and still he was not started
eating then at that time some more Sufi persons came there. In
short all people eat the food together there. After finishing of
food that a pious person strikes the earth, so from there the water
spring was started and all persons drink the water and thanked
Allah and said “ Allahu Akbar” (God is great) and all sat there.
That pious person told me “ Oh: Khaja you said from where this
person use to eat.? So see I will get my sustenance in this way.”
He also said “ The person in his condition of trust who
believe in the grace of Allah then he will find his substance from
the invisible source and whatever he will demand then he will get
the same thing there.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was reached at this point, then
Khaja Saheb went inside of the house so, for this reason, the well
12.
The two kinds of caps

that time there were some Sufi persons who were coming from
Baghdad were present there in the meeting place. Also in the
gathering Sheikh Burhanuddin Hansavi, Sheikh Bedridden
Ghaznavi were present there. The discussion about Latia was
started and he said with his holy tongue “ As per sayings of Qazi
Abu Yousuf there are two kinds of caps are there as follows.
1.Latia
2.Nashiza
The Latia cap will be downward from the head
517
The Nashiza cap will be up from the head

The first kind of cap was worn by the prophet of Allah on his
head. The second type of the cap will be available in the black
colour which will be worn by mystic (learned persons) persons.
But it was worn by the prophet few times only.
Afterward, he said “ Once Qazi Abu Yousuf was teaching his
companions the lesson on the Hadith (sayings of the prophet)
subject and at that time he was wearing a Sufi cap on his head. At
that time, one person came there and he questioned him did the
prophet of Allah wore black or the white colour cap on his
head.?” The Qazi told him “ Black cap.” Then again, he asked
him, “ Whether he was wearing Latia or Nashiza cap.?” He said
“Latia cap.” That person told him “ You are wearing a black
colour Nashiza cap on your head and in this way you are
opposing the two practices (Sunnah) of the prophet and giving a
lesson of sayings of the prophet to your companions.” The Qazi
thinks on this matter and told him “ You have talked to me two
things which are according to following two reasons. Is it said
for the sake of Allah? Or it is said to me for teasing purposes.?
And if it is for the sake of Allah then he will accept it otherwise if
it is said for the sake of causing me trouble then it is regret for
you in this matter.” That person said “ He said to him for the sake
of Allah as you are the leader of the religion so you should not do
against the Sunnah (practice) of the prophet of Allah.”
The reality of the cap
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the reality of cap is linked
with Allah and the angel Gabriel was brought four caps from the
heaven and was given to the prophet and he requested him there
is a command of Allah that first you should wear these caps and
then give them to others as per your wish and desire in this matter
and appoint your caliphs. So the prophet was first worn these caps
on the head and then he was given a first cap, of the one end to
Abu baker Siddiq (R.A.) and told him “ This is your cap and you
can award to anybody as per your wish and desire. ” Then the
518
second cap of two ends, he was given to Umar bin Khattab (R.A.)
and said to him “ This is your cap and you can award to anybody
as per your wish and desire.” Then the third cap of three ends, he
was given to Usman bin Affan (R.A.) and said “This is your cap
and you can award to anybody as per your wish and desire.” Then
the fourth cap of the four ends, he was given to Ali bin Taleb
(R.A.) and said “This is your cap and you can award to anybody
among Sufi persons as per your wish and desire and it was
commanded of Allah for me to award this cap to you.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh, the man who puts a cap on
his head, then he should be disconnected with the world and he
should leave the company of rich and wealthy persons and the
people of the world. He should fulfil the rights of the cap so that
he should not be ashamed with the prophet , the caliphs and the
categories of Mashaiq (learned persons) on the day of
judgement.”
Afterward, he said “ It is easy to wear the cap on the head, but
it is very difficult to fulfil its orders and conditions in this matter.
And if he will not fulfil its orders and conditions a little, then he
will become a false claimant in this matter and then he will not
belong to true and right person.”
Afterward, he said “ It was the habit of Khaja Yousuf Chisti
that whenever any person come into his service, then he used to
take from his continues service from him and then check him if
he is eligible to wear the cap then he will award it and said to him,
“ See if you fulfil the duties of the cap then you will get salvation
otherwise the cap of the prophet of Allah will punish him.”
Who are deserved for the cap
Once one pious person from Badkshan went into the service of
Khaja Mouded Chisti and requested him to award of the cap.
When Khaja Saheb checks his innermost condition and he was
found that he was involved in the filth of the world so for this
reason he was refused him in this matter. That person was
brought a recommendation of one pious person of saintliness. So
519
he was given his cap and said he “ See, you are taking the cap but
you will not respect it. One who respects it will not be deceived
by the world.” But he will not cared in this matter and he took the
cap and went to Badkshan. As per his habit he engaged himself in
the bad deeds and removed the cap from his head and he put it on
the shelf. When Khaja Saheb heard this news then he said “Why
the cap is not taking action against him.?” So in the short period
of time that the person who belongs to the pious family was
arrested for some charge and his two eyes were removed and, due
to its pain he died there.
The Sheikh of Islam shut with tears and he said “During this
period there is system of wearing the cap on the head so
everybody used to wear the cap as per desire and wish but not
caring a little about its rights and duties.”
Afterward, he said “ So there is no respect of saintly dress and
cap and for this reason there is not available goodness and
blessing in this period. Most of the people of saintly dress and cap
used to find in the gambling dens and in the company of rich
people and in the court of the kings. During this period if such
people of saintly dress and cap will be there then how there will
be available blessing? .” But it is thousand thanks that there is no
fall of calamity and if it will be fall then it will first affect on the
people of saintly dress and cap then other mankind will be
affected in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ It is a very strange case of that Darwesh
who put the cap of the prophet on his head, but he will not fulfil
its rights and duties and he will seek the company of rich and
wealthy persons. It is very strange that his face is not ruined in
this matter and why he was not disrespected in the mankind.? ”
Afterward, he said “ The master should give the cap to that
person whose manifest and innermost must be bright and when he
will approach for the cap, then the master should clean the filth of
the world from his manifest and the innermost by his light of
knowledge. When his manifest and the innermost will be clear
520
and if there is no filth of the world remaining there then he should

award him the cap. If he will not do like this then he will be away
from the right path and also he will mislead his disciple. So oh :
Darwesh so many people of saintly dress and cap are wander door
to door for the sustenance and they are in need of bread. The
reason of this is that they all are dishonest, it means they put caps
on their heads but not fulfil its rights. So for this reason they are
victims of bad sustenance in their fate.”
Afterward, he said “ The people of cap are such people who
will not bow down their heads other than Allah. If it is seen that
the people of the cap will visit the kings and rich and wealthy
person then in such case their caps should be taken back from
them as they are not eligible for the cap. Because by wearing the
cap of the prophet, they should not disrespect it by going to see
the king and wealthy person.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he was in the service of Khaja Ajal
Shirazi and at that time there was complaint came to him about
his disciple that he used to visit the king and wealthy persons
secretly. At that time immediately he told with his holy tongue
that why the cap of his master will not damage vertebra of the
neck of that disciple.? Still, his saying was not completed and
the disciple was falling down from the roof of the house and his
vertebra of his neck was broken.”
The rights of the cap
Afterward, he said “This tradition, oh : Darwesh, it was
practiced of Sheikh Bakhtiar Kaki that if 100,000 people come in
his service to become his disciples then he used to add all of them
among his disciples and used to give them the caps and he used
to tell them one who will not fulfil its rights then he will not
remain in the pledge of his spiritual master and this cap will
punish him in this matter. But among his disciples there was no
such person was not found who did not fulfil the rights of the cap.
Afterward, he said “ The cap will give punishment to the
people of the cap, but they do not know from where they have got
521
punishment on this matter.? If they will fulfil the rights of the cap,
then they will not find any sign of problems and difficulty in them
and they will be safe and secure in the both worlds in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ The reason of disrespect of the people of
cap wearing person is that they did not fulfil its rights. Oh :
Darwish there are found 4 ends of the caps as follows.
1. Shariah (Islamic law)
2. Tariqat (mystic knowledge)
3. Marafat (knowledge of Allah)
4. Haqiqat (reality)
So those who will firmly on the above four ends, then for him
it is legal to wear the cap on his head.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Sufi master Khaja Hasan of Basra
was asked for whom it is right to wear the cap on his head.? He
said, “ One who should not be interested in the 18,000 worlds.”
Afterward, he said, “Unless the people of the cap will not
ignore the following four conditions then for them it is not right to
wear the cap on their heads.”
1.Not to see the prohibited things from his eyes.
2.Not to hear the prohibited things from his ears.
3.To make the tongue dumb.
4.To stop the prohibited actions by his hand and feet.
Once Khaja Zanon of Egypt was asked “For whom it is right to
wear the cap on his head?.” He said, “ To whom one who will
give divorce three times to the world and whatever there in it.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Khaja Ba Yazid was asked among
the people of cap who are true.?” He said “, Those who will give
away all his wealth and belongs in the way of Allah and did not
keep for themselves.”
The secrets of the caps

Afterward, he said “ Khaja Sahil Tastri wrote that there are
four ends of the caps.
1.Secrets and lights
522
2.The love and trust

3.The love and affection
4.Willingness and conformity
So one who wears the cap on the head, then the above four
things will be gathered in his head.
Afterward, he said
The first end of secrets and lights
The second end of the love and trust
The third end of the love and affection
The fourth end of willingness and conformity
So why the people should keep them away from the above
graces.? When they wear the caps, then why they will not fulfil
the rights of the caps?.”
Afterward, he said “ One Darwesh came to see him. At that
time he and Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori were present in one
meeting place and where the discussion about the cap was in
progress. He said the cap is the consoler of the friend. It is the
compound of the love and affection of Allah. So on the way one
who is a lover of the reality, then who know the value of the cap”.
Afterward, he told this tradition “ In the book Sulook Auliya
in which it was mentioned that the person of cap who will do as
much as sincerity, worship, and endeavours, then he will get that
much shadow of the grace of Allah and which will be there for
him. Because the cap is shed of the grace of Allah. When the
people of the cap will be raised on the day of the judgement, then
the cap will become a veil in between the hell and that person and
its distance will be equal to a journey of 500 years.”
Afterward, he said, “ He was heard from one pious person,
that man will not become pious unless he will not wear the cap
and will not become a disciple of any person and will not do too
many endeavours in this matter.”
Afterward, he said, “ When Khaja Ibrahim bin Adham was
asked in which thing there is the available felicity of the both
worlds.” He said he heard of Khaja of Hasan of Basra that there is
523
kept the felicity of the both worlds in the cap and one who wear it
and fulfil it rights then he will eligible to get the felicity of the
both worlds.”
Once one person of cap involved in one work which was
against the will of Allah and when he was finished that work, then
he was heard a divine call in which it was heard “Oh : claimant
you wore the cap of the prophet and do such work so leave this
bad deed or leave the cap from the head and give it another person
who deserve to wear this cap.” So upon hearing this he repented
in this matter and he was in the Holy Harem (grand mosque) of
Makkah for a period of 40 years in Etakaf (retired for continued
prayer). When he died there he was buried in the holy city of
Makkah.”
Afterward, he said “ This tradition which he was heard by
Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki that Darwesh should give the cap to the
mankind when he will find the following four things in them.”
1. Except natural call he should not leave the prayer mat.
2. Not open the door of the hut, but open it when there will find
anything by invisible source.
3.If somebody will desire for the cap then he should check his
manifest and the innermost by his light of the innermost and then
he should give the cap to him.
4. In his mosque there should be overpower of the knowledge.
If any person will ask about something then he should reply
him satisfactorily and adequately in this matter and he should not
say to refer any book.
5. He should have Valayat (saintliness) with him so that by
holding the hand of the disciple he should make him holy person.
He should give Velayat (saintliness) to the person of excellence
and if no such person available, then takes it with him to the other
world upon his death.
When the Sheikh of Islam was ended these benefits, then the
call to Zuhar (afternoon) prayer, was started, then Khaja Saheb
524
went inside of the house so for this reason the well wisher and all
13.
The reality of the Darweshi (mysticism)

that time Moulana Mohammed Sufi, Khwaja Aziz Darwesh,
Moulan Yahiah Gharib, Moulana Burhanuddin Ghaznavi, Sheikh
Jamaluddin Hansavi, Sheikh Alauddin alias Gharib and other
dear persons were present at the meeting place. The discussion
about Darweshi (mysticism) was started. He said with his holy
tongue“ Oh: Derwesh the real Darweshi (mysticism) was
available to the prophet. By choice he was adopted indigence and
he wore the rag dress. Then there was command of Allah to wear
the rag dress for the angles from the veil of greatness to the sky.
When all the angles wore the rag dress, then they went into the
prostration and they said “ Oh: Lord informs us to whom we are
following the conformity of this dress of rag.” Allah said “ In the
conformity of the prophet who is His friend and who is wearing
the rag dress today.”
The high status of Darweshi (mysticism)
Afterward, he said, “ Oh: Darwish if the prophet was not
accepted Darweshi (mysticism) then there will no blessing
available in the world and nobody could have survived and all
have would be dying.”
Afterward, he said “ Once prophet Eisa (A.S.) was asked
Allah what is the foundation of the worlds and the peoples of the
world.? ”Allah said him, “ Due to the blessing of the feet of the
mystic persons. Oh: Eisa if there will no Darwesh persons in the
world or if the earth will not accept them then the rich and healthy
persons will be killed by His anger and all will be killed in the
world.”
525
Afterward, he said, “ Actually, if there is love available, then it

is available in the love of Darwesh. When there will no arrival of
Darwesh in the mosque of Sheikh Shabuddin Saherwardi then he
used to say that today the grace was taken back by Allah so, for
this reason, no Darwesh came there.”
Afterward, he said, “ Once the prophet was sitting and at
that time angel Gabriel came over there and given the message of
Allah “ Oh: My friend those who will love Fakir (indigent)
persons and sit with them so you should have friendship and sit
with them.”
Afterward, he said, “The prophet said the two Rakat of
prayer, of patient Darwesh, is better than the prayer of 70 Rakat
of rich and wealthy persons. The thankful wealthy person is one
who will spend all his wealth and all his belongings in the way of
Allah.”
Afterward, he said, “ It was the habit of prophet Suleiman
(A.S.) that he was used to sitting at the time of fast breaking at
the gate of the mosque and used to find hungry Darwesh and used
to eat with him and then he was used to return back from there.”
Afterward, he said, “ On the day of judgment there will be
regret with Darwish and there will be a settlement of accounts by
the wealthy persons.”
Afterward, he said, “ He was heard by Sheikh Ohud Kirmani
that on the day of judgment there will be commanded to Darwesh
persons to go the pair of scales and take away the persons to the
heaven who have done good behaviour with them.”
The punishment of disregard of Darwesh persons
Afterward, he said, “ On the day of judgement there will be
command of Allah to the persons who were sincerely prayed and
fasting and all other things but for them there will be order to go
hell. Then they will ask that they have done pious deeds in the
world, but why they are being sent to the hell.? Then there will be
commanded to them that they have disregarded Darwesh persons.
There will be also such persons available there who did not do
526
good deeds and they were engaged in many bad deeds, but for
them there will be order to go to heaven. Then they will be
surprised in this matter that they did not do good deeds, then why
they are being sent to the heaven.? Then there will be command
of Allah will be there “ You have done many sins in the world,
but you have love of Darwesh persons in your hearts so you have
treated with them piously and due to its blessing you are getting
the chance to enter into the heaven. No comfort is not better than
the love of Darwesh person, but it is difficult work. The night of
starvation is the night of accession for the Darwesh person.”
Afterward, he said “ If there will be no blessing of Darwesh
persons in the cities and places, then they will be converted into
deserted places. The cities and places which are populated due to
the blessing of Darwesh persons.”
The blessing of Darwesh persons
Afterward, he said “ There was the command of Allah to
prophet Mosa (A.S.) oh: Mosa if there were no supplications of
Darwesh persons, then We would have turned down all cities and
places into deserted places. All the world is populated due to
their prayers only.”
Afterward, he said, “ Darwesh should not leave from any place
in the condition of regret otherwise that place will be deserted in
this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ As a matter of fact, Sher Khan the ruler
of Multan was not a devotee of me so for this reason I asked him
many times not to keep enmity with the Darwesh persons and due
to this reason there will be disturbances will come into the
country. But he did ignore my instruction in this matter. Because
the Mughal army attacked his place and nobody was not killed
except Sher Khan.”
Afterward, he said “ When Allah wants to destruct any place,
or send calamity or send problems or starvation, to send problems
and difficulties on the people of any city and street, then from
527
these places he will take away Mashaiq (learned persons) and

Ulema (learned persons).”
Afterward, he said “ Once the city of Lahore was distracted
and at that time one pious person and whose was named Budhan
Miya and who was a person of loneliness and he went to the
central mosque on that day when the Mughal army attacked in
Lahore city and he addressed the people there and he said “ Oh :
Muslim now he is going to leave Lahore city. ” So somebody
asked him “ Why he is now leaving the city?.” He said “ It is
better for Darwesh to leave the city at this time.” When he was
leaving the city, then the Mughal army attacked the city and
plundered it and large number of citizens were imprisoned by the
Mughal army.
Afterward, he said “ When in any city learned person or
Darwesh will die then the angles will regret for their deaths and
used to weep in this matter. So in any city if there is no Darwesh
available then there are no blessing and goodness available in
that city.”
Afterward, he said, “ Once prophet Eisa (A.S.) went to visit
one Darwesh person and at that time he was sleeping there so
wake him and asked to stand and busily in the worship of Allah.”
That Derwish person told him he was doing such worship of
Allah that which is not possible by any person. He asked what is
that.? He said by leaving the world.
Afterward, he said “ In the Quran it is said “ Ain Allah talla
taqlil min amal.” Afterward, he said “ The person who leave the
world without leaving after him Dinar and Dirham then he is a
real indigent person. And for him, the prophet said: “ A person
who belongs to the persons of heaven.”
Afterward, he said “, Once one beggar was asked something
from the prophet.” At that the prophet did not have anything with
him so that person went away from there and not getting
anything from him. So prophet thought in his mind that if he
would have something with him, then beggar would not go
528
deprived. At this thought the angel Gabriel came over there and
brought all keys of treasures of both worlds to him and said him,
“ Your honour if want then you can use it. So the prophet smiled
and said one who like by thinking indigence then what he will do
with these treasures?.”
Afterward, he said the prophet said “ Al-Duni al-Marza al –
Akhira.” It means the world is a field of the other world.” And
which means to offer charity and which will be benefited in the
other world. There is a famous saying is that as you sow as you
reap.”
Afterward, he said, “ Darweshi (mysticism) is the thing which
was available to Khaja Shuhabuddin Saherwardi and he did not
use to eat anything from whatever he received from the morning
to the evening.”
The excellence of Darwehi (Mysticism)
Afterward, he said “ One Sheikh Saeed Tabrazi who was the
spiritual master of Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrazi and he used to have
starvation with him always. But he did not borrow anything from
anybody. Once he was with him for a period of three days, but
during this period any kind of food was not cooked in the shrine
building. Darwesh and he himself was dependent on the eating of
musk melon and this news was reached the ruler of the area and
he said Sheikh did not use to take anything from us so what we
do in this matter.? By saying this he was sent some money for
him and he said to give his servant and ask him to spend it little
by little. The soldier was given money to the servant and asked
him to spend it as per requirement, but Sheikh should not know
in this matter. But the servant could not hide this matter with
Sheikh of time. So asked him who brought the money and to
dig the earth where he was putting his feet and throw that earth
outside of the building. He asked the servant to leave the shrine
with the money.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh there was starvation of six
days of Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (R.A.) and on the seventh day there was
529
available to him some food, then he was going to eat the food and
at that time one beggar came over there and he was requested for
some food as he was facing starvation since seven days so he was
given him some food in the name of Allah. So he was taken back
the food which kept before from his sons and was given to the
beggar and told them that he is facing starvation of seven days
and we are starved for six days so it is good to give the food to
him.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Derwesh the name of mysticism is
that which was available to the prophet. When Darwesh lows
down his head in the meditation, then he was used to seeing
18,000 worlds and come back from there. When he put his step,
then he used to visit from empyrean to the nether region. This is
the first stage of Darwesh.”
Afterwards, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the heart of the lovers
used to engage in the circumambulation of the veil of the
greatness of Allah. If for some time this grace will be taken away
from him, then the lover will be nothing in this matter.On their
hearts, there will continuously fall of divine light and secrets of
Allah and so they will be used to live in the condition of a
surprise for this reason.”
When Sheikh of Islam has ended these benefits, then Khaja
Saheb went inside of the house so, for this reason, the well
14.
The love and enmity of the world

that time in the meeting place Moulana Bahuddin Bukhari,
Moulana Shabuddin Ghaznavi, Sheikh Burhanuddin Hansavi,
Moulana Baderuddin Ghaznavi and some other Darwesh were
present there in the service of the Sheikh of Islam. The discussion
530
about the love and enmity of the world was started and he then
said with holy tongue “Oh: Darwesh there are three kinds of the
people.
1.There are some people who love the world and always they
used to keep its remembrance and demand for it and this type of
persons are there too many.
2.There are some people who think it as their enemy and they did
not love the world.
3.There are some people who did not think it as their enemy or
friend.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the third kind of people is
better than the other two kinds of the people.
Who is the friend of the world.?
Afterward, he said “ One person came to see Rabia of Basra
and he began saying abused by the world. Rabia of Basra told “
Oh: person goes away from here as it seems that you are a friend
of the world. Because you are discussing it very much in this
matter.”
Afterward, he said “ In the area of Khuram, Sheikh Badni
used to reside there and he was used to living in the loneliness and
even he did not use to wear the cloth on his body.If any person
used to visit him to discuss the world and the people of the world
then he used to instruct him not to visit with him again. He used
to tell them he is a lover of the world because when somebody
will find his beloved so with others then he will discuss about
the lover. That Darwesh used to worship very much and he said
“ It is, alas the heaven is the best place, but there is no available
prayer there.” At that time one devotee said “ If the master is the
lover of the world and if he will instruct the disciple to leave the
world”. He said “There will be no effect in this matter.” Because
the preaching and advice will not be effected unless the master
will not become the model of the instructions.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Derwesh once Khaja Ba-Yazid
Bustami was asked what is the reason that some of the people
531
remember very much the world.? He said, “ They are friends of

the world.” Because when they see the beloved with others so, for
this reason, their love will be increased very much so they
remember it very much during the day and night.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Rabia of Basra was asked what is the
world.? And who resides in this place.? She said “ The world is
an unclean thing. The persons who demand it are dogs. Except
hypocrite nobody will not demand the world and this is the place
of hypocrite persons.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh when you will see any
Darwesh in the demand of worldly position and status. Then
understand in this matter that he is still in the jungle of
misleading.”
Afterward, he said “ When Ibrahim bin Adham was asked
from where he got such position .? He said “ He was given
divorced to the world three times.”
Afterward, he said “ If there is the love of the world is very
much in any person then in such case that person will be very
much away from the other world. So the veil in between the man
and Allah is the world. It is the root of all troubles. So the
prophet said, “ The person who demands Allah will not be
attracted from the world.”
Afterward, he said, “ The thing which Allah thinks His
enemy, then you should also think that thing as your enemy and
do not go near it and do not mention its friendship and enmity
with others.”
Afterward, he said “ From the day when Allah created the
world he did not see it due to His anger. So such person is the
unwise one who loves for such thing which Allah will not like
it.”
Afterward, he said “ One who is obedient to Allah, then the
world will do a service for him. One who is obedient of the world
than he will face difficulties and problems.”
532
Afterward, he said “One who is careless as such level of

Allah then he will engage with the world at the same level.
Afterward, he said “ He was heard by Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki with
his holy tongue that there are three kinds of works which are best
among all works.”
1.To know the world and to keep away from it.
2.To the obedience of Allah and take care of manners in this
matter.
3.To desire of the other world and try for its desire.
Afterward, he said, “ In this way the brave man is one who
will act upon the below three things.”
1. To be kept away from the world.
2. To start preparation of the grave before the death.
3. Before seeing Allah to please him.
Afterward, he said, “ Zanon of Egypt wrote in his biography
that the lovers of the world will be placed in the hell for not doing
for the sins,but for the reason that the people of the world and
the people who love them should see their insult there and do
regret in this matter.”
The matter of Allah or matters of the world
Afterward, he said “ He was seen in Ghazni, one Derwesh who
was very much engaged in the worship of Allah and he was with
him for a period of six months. During this period he was not
heard about the world by his tongue and by chance if he will talk
about in the world, then he was used to weeping on that day
from morning till evening time. When he asked the reason in this
matter, then he was told “ Since 30 years ago one person came to
visit him and he said something about the world and for him he
was also followed in that matter. So at that time, there was heard a
divine call in which it was heard “Oh: Fakir (indigent person)
whether there will be discussion about Us or about the world.? So
for this reason, he wept from that day to regret that how he will
show his face to Allah in this matter.?
533
About the mysticism, it was written that to remember that

thing it means the death which will be disturbed the luxuries and
will end the lives. One who will remember the death, then Allah
will be happy with him. One who will be not caring, so much
with his death, then with such level, he will be discussing the
world and which will be available and firmed in his heart. The
obedient will be hard for his heart and he will do the sins easily.”
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Moudud Chisti said if there will
be gather bad deeds in the house, then it think that house as the
world. So if the love of the world is firm in the person's heart,
then he will be away from Allah. To the person if the world is
tightened, then think that he is in the nearness of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ There will be a call to the world for five
times that oh: the world you should be become hard for our
friends so that they will not look at you from the eyes of
goodness. And become sweet to the persons who demand you so
that they should discuss you more and more and give them luxury
so that they should involve in the problems and difficulties.”
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Abdullah Mubarak used to live
always in solitude and one who will visit him will not go without
his favour from him. He was in the habit of visiting the rooms of
his disciple after Maghrib (sunset) prayer and if he used to find
stocks of food and water in their rooms then he used to ask them
to give away to other needy Darwesh and pull down pots of water
on the earth. Because it is not Darweshi (mysticism) to stock the
things. When used to hear the discussion about the world from
disciples in the shrine building, then he used to remove them from
there and afterwards he will not allow them to come to see him
again.”
Afterward, he said “ He had lots of stock of goods with him.
Then further goods will come there, then he used to hand over the
goods to one person who was custodian of the store. And who
used to tell him to keep the accounts of the goods with him and
not allowed to bring the goods in his presence so that he should
534
engage in the matters of the world. Oh : Darwesh once Sultan

Shamsuddin was sent some bags of gold coins in the presence of
Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki and when he was seen some persons
bringing these bags so he said to them from the distance “ To
take away and go back and said to him that he thought him as his
friend but he became his enemy because he was sent such thing
which thinks by Allah as enemy to Him. This thing is demanded
by many persons so give them these bags of money.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh : Darwesh, Khaja Haruni’s spiritual
master Khaja Sharif Zindani spent his life in loneliness for a
period of 40 years and he was in Etekaf (retired for continued
prayer) in Khurasan. In the period of 40 years his diet was only
vegetables and during this period whoever will visit him, then his
servant used to tell him, “ Be careful do not discuss about the
world otherwise you will be deprived of felicity of his visit.”
The censure of the world and wealth of the world

In short, one day the ruler of the kingdom came to visit him
and he brought some money with him and paid respect to him and
he sat there. He said some tradition about the world. So the
Sheikh smiled in this matter and he said “ Oh: enemy of Allah.
How you treated by him with the action of enmity that you have
brought the enemy before me. Which is not the matter of
friendship which you have committed in this matter. So take it
away from here and give it somebody who demand it.” Then he
turns its palm leaf mat on which he was sitting and he told him
to see and when the ruler saw there and he was found there was
flowing a river of Dinar and gold under it so all persons who were
present at the meeting stood there and put their heads on his legs
and the ruler requested him to forgive his mistake in this matter.
Khaja Saheb said “ One who had such treasures of wealth, then
why he will need such unclean wealth of the ruler.?”
535
Afterward, he said “Once one person went into the presence

of Khaja Qutubuddin Chisti with the intention that Khaja Saheb
should give him some Dinars and he was seen that there is flow of
the river of milk at the place where Khaja Saheb is sitting there.
That person still far away from him, but he said the friend is
coming there and he will demand the thing on which incurred
Allah’s displeasure on it. As there is such thought in your mind so
take out the brick on which you are sitting there and he found lots
of gold coins were available there. He asked him “To take all gold
coins as all these belongs to your share.” So he was collecting pile
of the gold coins from there. Then Khaja Saheb told him “ You
desire milk and rice, which is before you so eat as per your
requirement.” When he saw before him and find a river of milk
and rice was flowing from there.
Afterward, he said “ Once Khaja Qutubuddin Chisti was
walking on the way and there was construction of the mosque
was in progress and the labours were trying to take one rafter to
the upper side and that rafter was the smallest of 2 yards from
other rafters so they were surprised and worried how to take it at
the upper side. So Khaja Saheb told them upon putting it on the
upper side then inform him. When it was put on the upper side,
then Khaja Saheb reached for the wall and pulled the rafter so for
this reason it became one yard larger than other rafters. Still today
that rafter is available there and which is out of the wall. “
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Yousuf Chisti’s master Khaja
Mohammed Chisti who used to live always in the condition of
the surprise. So he did not sleep for a period of 30 years. He got
endeavours with him so he did not eat sustenance for a period of
one or two years.During the night he used to perform the prayer
of inversely (Sajda-e-Makus) and he used to perform the prayer
by hanging and by standing upside down there.”
The things of wrath, of Allah
Once he was sitting at the bank of river Tigris and he was
sewing his saintly dress there. At that time one pious person's son
536
came there along with an army of soldiers and after seeing Khaja
Saheb he was getting down from his horse and he paid respect to
him. He said to him the prophet said “ If any old woman will be
sleep hungry in any kingdom, then she will make complain to
Allah by holding the edge of the robe of ruler and without
finding justice from there she will not leave his edge of his the
robe.” Upon saying this he was given him whatever he brought
for him. Khaja Saheb smiled at that time and he said to him, “ It is
not the practice of our masters to accept the things of the wrath of
Allah. So take back all these things and give to such persons who
are in need of them.” Then he has thrown one Dirham in the
river Tigris and he looked at the sky said “Oh: Allah, whatever
you show to the people so show the same to him.” At that time
the fishes came out of the water with holding the gold coins in
their mouths came into his service. When the son of the pious
person saw this then he was paid his respect to him and he told
him “ It's real fact that there will be such a power in the people of
Allah with them.” Khaja Saheb asked the fishes to give him back
his Dirham and one fish bring back his Dirham.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: dear brother one who will get such
lots of wealth, then why he will require another person’s wealth in
this matter?.”
When the Sheikh of Islam has ended these benefits, then Khaja
15
The disciple’s elegance of faith
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh then

at that time in the meeting place Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi,
Moulana Nizamuddin Badayuni, Shams Dabir, Moulana
Shamsuddin Bukhari, Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi, Sheikh
Najamuddin Sunami and some other Darwesh from the lineage
537
of Christ were present there in the service of the Sheikh of Islam.

The discussion about the elegance of the disciples of faith was
started. He told by holy tongue “ If there will be no good faith
about the master of the disciple then he will not become the
disciple.”
In the presence of a prophet is better than the prayer

Afterward, he said “ Once Umar bin Qattab was performing
supererogatory praying and at that time the prophet was, called
him for, some work as he was busy in the prayer so he did not
replied him in this matter. Upon the prayer he was present in the
service of the prophet. Then the prophet told him that he called
him. So he told him that he was busy in the prayer so he did not
reply for this reason. Then the prophet told him, “ When he will
call him, then he should break his supererogatory prayer and reply
him immediately. Because doing such act is better than the
supererogatory prayer.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he was present in the service of
Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki. Once Darwesh Sheikh Ali Sanjari was
performing supererogatory prayer there, then Sheikh was, called
him then he breaks his prayer and he said welcome Sheikh. The
Sheikh asked him “ Why he did not reply after completion of the
prayer. Why did he break his prayer.?” He said him, “ It is better
than prayer to reply the Sheikh’s call.” It is mentioned in the
books of mysticism that if Sheikh will call his disciple then he
should reply to him immediately then he will be eligible for the
reward of one year’s worship. So my respected persons why then
the man should leave this reward from his hand?.”
Afterward, he said “ The master should have such power with
him that when any person approaches him to become his disciple
then he should check his righteousness of the faith. If he will find
him not right on the commands of Allah then he should tell him
slowly that his time has not come so go back now from there.”
538
Afterward, he said “ The disciple who come in the service of

the master and put his head on the earth and this service is easy.
Because those who will come in the service of the master with the
intention of Iradat (faith) and pledge. This Irdat (faith) and pledge
refer here the love and affection of the master. So in this case to
put the head on the earth is the easiest service in this matter. If
there will be no personal power in the Sheikh then he won't call as
a Sheikh. Because Khaja Qutubuddin said “ Unless the Sheikh
will not see the manifest and innermost of the disciple then it is
not right for him to accept any person as his disciple.”
Some miracles of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti

Afterward, he said “ Once one Muslim, servant of King
Prithivi Raj was present in the service of the Sheikh with the
intention to become his disciple sincerely. But Sheikh did not
accept that person as his disciple. So that person reported the
matter to Rai Pathura and he sends some men to him and asked
him why he did not make him as his disciple.? He told him there
are three things are found in him and which are not going to an
end in him. Because these are recorded in his fate.
1.He will commit a large number of sins.
2.He is your servant.
3.He was seen in the Tablet that he will leave this world without
faith.
When the Rai Pathora heard these things, then he was becoming
angry in this matter and he said this Darwesh was said all
invisible matters. He asked him to leave this city. When he was
heard this then he smiled and he said there is required time for
three days in this matter. Whether he will leave or Rai Pathura
will leave from this city.? So after three days the army of Sultan
Shuhabuddin Mohammed Ghouri attacked the city and caught
alive Rai Pathora the ruler of Ajmare city and took him away
from there. The person who came to become disciple was
drowned in the river and died.”
539
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh you should know clearly

that if the Sheikh or spiritual master will be angry then he can
disturb the world.”
Afterward, he said “He was heard by the tongue of Khaja
Bakhtair Kaki that he was present in the service of Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti for a period of 20 years and during this period
he was not seen in the condition of angry with any person. But
one day he was passing straight in the street and he was seen that
one person caught his disciple Sheikh Ali and that person
was asking to pay him his due money. The Sheikh was passed
from him and he convinced him, but he was not agreed in this
matter. So due to anger, he was throwing his cloth from the
shoulder on the earth, and which was filled with gold coins. He
asked that person to take from there the required money but he
should not take more money from there. But due to his
greediness that person’s hand was dried there. So he said he was
repenting in this matter, then he was praying for his hand so his
hand was becoming well.”
Afterward, he said “Once Khaja Moinuddin Chisti was sitting
with his friends and at that time one person came there and
requested him to make him his disciple. But he came there to kill
him. When he was seated there upon paying respect to him. Then
the Sheikh smiled and said to him Darwesh visit Darwesh for the
cleanliness and not for the cruelty. So you should do as per your
intention or rectify your faith in this matter. So he stood and
accepted that he was coming there to kill him and he went outside
and thrown the knife which he was brought to kill him there and
he becomes his disciple. Then he was become a firm believer
and Sheikh was used to asking him to do every difficult and hard
work and who used to attend that work with sincerity and with
much attention and care of his heart and mind.”
When he reached the place of the perfection, then was
performed 45 Hajj pilgrimages and he died as custodian of the
Holy Kaba in Makkah.”
540
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish if there will be written

felicity by eternity, then his condition will be like that person who
came there to see the Sheikh with the wrong intention, but the
Sheikh has cleared all his ill-will from his chest.So that person
stood and accepted his wrong intention and paid respect to him
said to him that there is clarity now in his heart about him. So, for
this reason, he was becoming his disciple and he was getting the
honour of the pledge with the Sheikh.
Afterward, he said, “ One person came to see him, and from
him he was heard that the disciple should be firm in all works
otherwise he will be ashamed on the day of judgement.”
The king who has knowledge of revelation
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Junaid of Baghdadi wrote in his
biography the details of about the goodness of faith of the
kings.Once one king who had firm faith and pious and who was
person of revelation. He was sitting on the upper portion of the
palace and from where he can see the below portion of the palace
and along with him his wife, was also sitting there. When his
sight was felt on the activities of the court of Allah so he was
looking at the sky for a long time. Then he looked downward.
Then he looked to the sky for a long time. Then he was seen with
his wife and wept so much. When his wife saw the event, then she
asked the reason in this matter. So the king said to her that let it
and ignore it. This is not matter to be disclosed. When his wife
requested him in this matter very much then he told her that when
he was looking at the Tablet, and he finds his name was no more
there. So I come to know that I should leave this world. When he
saw the person in his place and he finds the gypsy who is standing
in the lower portion of the palace will become his successor and
who will marry you after me. When his wife heard all the details,
then she told him now what he will do.? He said nothing should
be done in this matter except to follow the fate as per willingness
of Allah. Then he was called gypsy and was given his dress and
made declared his successor and sent him by the army to fight
541
with the enemy along with ministers and the royal court persons.
As per the order of the king the gypsy left from there and fought
with the enemy and captured the enemy and found the large booty
in the war and presented all things in the service of the king.
When the gypsy came back in the night and on the next day the
king died. During the war period, the gypsy treated well with all
army personals so all become happy with him. When the king
died, they he was become the king of that country and he has
married the queen.”
Afterward, he said “ When the prophet was left the world then
many thousand Muslims were apostatized and they sent their
application in the service of Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) and
requested him to cancel the Zakat (religious tax as a basic in
function of Islam) otherwise they will leave the religion of Islam.
So he discussed on this matter with friends and some of them
asked him it is better to follow leniency in this matter and cancel
the Zakat. So he has taken out his sword in his hand and he said “
If they will pay less than Egal (the rope with which the bell tied
to the camel's neck) then he will wage war with them with his
sword.” When Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.) was heard this news he
said it's not a good thing if Zakat is cancelled then in this way
slowly all Islamic commandments will be no more available in
the religion of Islam.”
The Sheikh of Islam addressed Khaja Nizamuddin Badayuni
and he said “ Many Darwesh came to see him and become his
disciples and when they left for him, then their love with him was
not remain in the same level in this matter. But Moulana
Nizamuddin was become his disciple, but there was no change in
his intention and temperament. If Allah wills his love will not be
decreased.” So Moulana Nizamuddin stood and paid respect to
him for this reason. On that day the Sheikh of Islam awarded him
Qirqa (saintly dress) and black rag dress. And he said “ Among
his disciples Moulana Nizamuddin will become an international
542
personality and his disciples will remain in the world till the last
time of the world and will be available all over the world.”
When the Sheikh of Islam was ended these benefits, then
Khaja Saheb went inside of the house so for this reason all
persons left from the meeting place but Moualana Nizamuddin
was remained in the mosque of the shrine building.
16
The kissing of the hands of pious persons

that time in the meeting place Moulana Nizamuddin Badayuni,
Moulana Yahiah Gharib, Sheikh Burhanuddin Hansavi, Sheikh
Baderuddin Ghaznavi and some other Darwesh of the lineage of
Chist were present there in the service of the Sheikh of Islam. He
told by his holy tongue “ Oh: Darwesh to kissing of each other’s
hand is the practice of the holy prophet. One who will kiss the
hands of the Mashaiq (learned person) then Allah will clear him
from his sins and he will become just like a newly born baby
from his mother’s womb.”
Darwesh and Mashaiq persons used to kiss the hands of each
other so that they can hold the hands of the forgiving person and
with their blessings they will be forgiven.
The blessing of shaking and kissing of the hands

It a was habit of the prophet that if any person want to say
Salam to him and shake his hands, then he used to first say Salam
to him and shake hands with that person.
Afterward, he said “ Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.) said he was
trying his best to say first Salam or shake hands with the prophet
but he could not get that chance. ”
543
Afterward, he said “ Khwaja Qutubuddin was in the habit

that unless he will not kiss the hands of all people, then he will
not use to pass from any street and he will not move further on
the way and he used to demand their good invocations for him.”
Afterward, he said “ After the prayer when the people used to
shake and kiss their hands with each other than their sins will fall
like the leaves of the trees in the winter season.”
Afterward, he said, “ There are goodness and blessing is
available there for the both worlds in kissing the hands of the
pious persons.”
Afterward, he said “ He saw one pious person in his dream and
asked him how Allah treated him?” He replied, “He was shown
there whatever he was doing in the world. Then there was came a
command of Allah to the angles to send him to the hell.” During
this period there was another command of Allah was came there
that once he was kissing the hands of Khwaja Sharif in the grand
mosque of Damascus. So for its blessing he was forgiven in this
matter.”
Afterward, he said “ On the day of judgement many sinners
will be forgiven for kissing of the hands of a pious person and
they will be free from the hell.”
Afterward, he said “ Upon the death of Hajj bin Yousuf,
when he was seen in the dream and he was asked how Allah
treated him.?” He said “ He is in the place of killing but there is
still hope that he will be forgiven by Allah.” When he was asked
for which good deed.? It is said “ Once in the meeting place he
was kissing the hands of Khaja Hasan of Basra with respect. So
for this good deed he will be forgiven in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ When Khaja Qutubuddin Chisti used to
leave the grand mosque, then his disciples used make a circle
around him and he used to stretch his hand so that all people used
to come there and kiss his holy hand.”
Afterward, he said “ It was seen by him in the book Isar Auliya
in which one pious person said by swearing that the person who
544
will kiss the hand of the Sheikh or pious person then he will be
forgiven surely by Allah. Because one who will hold the hands
of Mashaiq (learned person) is like the person one who hold the
hands of the prophet Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ Whenever Imam Abu Hanifa of Kofa
used to sit in his meeting place and if the visitor will come there,
then he used to stood and shake his hands and also when the
visitor will leave from there then he will use to stand and shake
the hands.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh when Prophet Dawood
(A.S.) used to sit on the throne for justice and equity so many
persons used to visit him in the court to redress of their problems
and to get justice and equity for them. When any pious person of
Bani Israel community used to visit him in the court then he used
to stand from his throne and kiss his hands and used to look at the
sky and say “ Oh: Lord given grace to that person’s hand. So
allow him your protection.” So oh: Darwesh as a matter of fact,
all prophets of Allah were without sins, but they used to demand
for themselves for goodness and blessing. And they used to say
that due to kissing of the pious hands, oh: Allah forgive them. ”
Afterward, he said when Prophet Yaqub (A.S.) met Prophet
Yousuf (A.S.) and on that day he kissed the hands of the persons
with great respect and reverence on the way who were coming
and going from there. When he was asked in this matter, then he
was told “ Due to the blessing of kissing of the hands of the pious
persons of Bani Israel Allah was provided him the meeting of his
son. ”
Afterward, he said “ The prophet used to see one old lady and
ask her to pray of goodness in favour of Mohammed.” But in
fact, in all creation there is nobody dearer to Allah than the
prophet. As a matter of fact Allah created all things for the sake
of him only. So when the prophet will demand the prayer of
goodness, then it is must for us to demand goodness from the
pious persons by kissing their hands.”
545
Afterward, he said “ When the prophet used to walk in the

way, then if he will find any old person there then he will not
move forward than those people. Because the prophet used to
respect them very much because of their white hairs. When
that old person used to kiss his hand, then the prophet used to kiss
his hand first.”
Afterward, he said “ Once one young man was going into the
lane who was in the condition of intoxication and when he saw
Abu Ben Adham was coming there, then he put his head on his
legs with great respect and reverence and he kissed his hands.
And in that night that young man saw him in his dream that he
was walking in the paradise.Then he was surprised in this matter
that he was such a great sinner but how he got such a grace.?
Then he heard the divine call in which it was said that it is a fact
in this matter. Because you have kissed today my friend’s hand.
So for this reason you have been forgiven. When he was waking
up and he went into the service of Khaja Saheb and he was
repenting.
Afterward, he said, “ If there grace of Allah will be available
then many thousand sinners will be forgiven for a sake of little
mercy of Allah and they will be free from the hell.”
Afterward, he said “ When the people will shake their hands,
then there will be many thousand mercies of Allah will fall there.
When they will done kissing of the hands, then all mercies will
befall upon them.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh, it is available in the
mysticism that the people of mysticism in the mosques used to
wait for the persons who should visit them so that they can kiss
the hands of the visitors. Whether they will be engaged in the
reading of the Quran or in the invocation.”
546
The fulfillment of the needs of the needy persons

Afterward, he said “ When Khaja Junaid of Baghdad used to
sit on the prayer mat and he was engaged in the invocation when
if there will be any visitor comes then he will leave his invocation
of Allah and he used to talk with the visitor and while talking with
him he uses to fulfil his requirements from his side. When that
person left from there, then he will use to engage in the recitation
of the Quran again.”
Afterward, he said “ It is right for the pious persons sitting on
the prayer mats, then they should busy in reading of the Quran. If
there will be any visitor there, then they should leave the reading
of the Quran and engage with the visitor. Because, as per the
religion of mysticism, it is better to redress the needs of the
persons and is better than daily recitals and repeating of the
incantation. It is fact that the reward of the fulfillment of the
needs of the needy person is equal of the one year’s worship.”
Afterward, he said “ One day Abu Saeed said he went to visit
one pious person in Makkah for some of his needs. At that time
that pious person was engaged in his worship schedule. So he
comes back from there un-successful in this matter. When he was
present at the meeting place of the prophet, he was sad and in the
condition of grief. The prophet could able to know in this matter
by the light of his prophet-hood and he was asked “ Why he is
sad.?” He told him “ He went to see one pious person for the
fulfillment of his needs with him, but he was engaged in his daily
recitals. So for this reason he was returned back unsuccessful
from his place.” The prophet said “ It is a right for him to be
engaged in the work of redress of the needy persons. As per
requirement of justice, he should leave his work of daily recitals
and should redress the needs of the other persons and upon
fulfillment of another person’s needs, then again he should be
engaged in his work of recitals.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish, when Khaja Shibly used
to busy in the reading of the Quran and at that time if there will
547
be any visitor, will come there, then he used to stand and kiss his
hand and used to talk with him. Till he's sitting there he used to
talk with him. When he will leave from there, then again, he used
to engage in the invocation.”
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Muhib said that how is such
heart when the empyrean of Allah when comes to his door for
some important work, but he will not engage to fulfillment of the
needs in this matter.” Here he refers empyrean as the heart of the
person. Because it is said in the saying of the prophet “ The heart
of a Muslim person is the empyrean of Allah.”
Afterward, he said, “ Once Sultan Nasiruddin went towards
Multan then he reached Ajodhan to visit me there and he upon
fulfilling of the condition of the service then he was returned
back from there.”
The good devotion of Sufi persons
Afterward, he said “ When he was upset and worried with
coming and going of the persons so for this reason and he wants
to enter into loneliness. Then there was thought came into my
mind that it was not the practice of the masters of Chisti chain.
But it was their practice to shake their hands with every person.
So he was used to sit on the roof and used to stretch his hands
from there and for this reason the people who pass from there
used to kiss my hands and shake my hands and go from there.
Due to the very much crowd and for this reason there will torn
ten shirts everyday and the people used to collect the pieces of the
shirt as felicity. So I was surprised in this matter for their good
devotion. So see how they possess the confirm faith. When upon
coming back from the Friday prayer he was used to upset with the
large crowd. So one day one of the servant who used to spread my
bedding and palm leaf mat pulled my leg to kiss it which was not
looked me good for this reason. So that servant told me, “ Oh :
Sheikh Farid is thankful to Allah as there many 100,000 peoples
are there who are desirous of kissing your feet. So I like his talk in
this matter.”
548
Afterward, he said, “ One who is popular in the court of Allah,

then such person is also popular in the mankind.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he was heard by Khaja Qutubuddin
Bakhtiar that he was circumambulation with one pious person
Kaaba in Makkah there. At that time, one more person came there
and said Salam to that pious person and he began talking with
him. So he was surprised in this matter as it is not good to talk
with him there.He immediately addressed me and he said: “ He
heard that the prophet was doing like this and once he did the
same.”
Afterward, he said “ He was used to visiting his master once
in a week or after a two week period. But against this Sheikh
Badruddin Ghaznavi and other disciples used to present in his
service always. When the time of the death of my master was near
then at that time one pious person was much interested to
become his successor. But at the time of his death, he told that the
following things to be given to Farid.
1. The staff
2. The wooden sandals
3. The dress
In short, in the night when he was going to die and on that night
I have seen an in dream in Hansi that he is taking to the court of
Allah. So in the morning he was starting from Hansi and he was
reached to Delhi within the period of four days. Qazi
Hameeduddin Nagori was given me the staff, the wooden sandals
and the dress. So upon praying two Rakat of thanks prayer, I
wore the above things of my master and I was staying in the
house of the master for a period of three days in Delhi.From Delhi
I was started toward Hansi. The reason for leaving from Hansi is
that from Ajodhan one person named as Sirhanga came from
there to visit him. He was visiting the shrine building three times,
but he was not permitted to enter into the building by the guard.
When he was come out of the building, then he put his head on
his legs and began weeping there. So I asked Sirhanga why did
549
you weep.? He said “ Your visit was easy in Hansi but it was
becoming difficult in Ajodhan.” At that time I told my friends I
will go to Hansi. They told me your master Khaja Qutubuddin
was, asked him to stay in Delhi. So why you are leaving from
here. I told them “ The grace of Khaja Saheb is available equally
in the city as well in the jungle. ”
Afterward, he said “ The reason of this event is that kissing of
the pious persons is good in all conditions. So that from the
kissing of some person there will be available salvation in this
matter.”
When Sheikh of Islam has ended these benefits, then
Khaja Saheb went inside of the house so, for this reason, all
17.
The group, which used to engage in the invocation of Allah

that time in the meeting place Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi,
Moulana Nizamuddin Badayuni, Maulana Yahiah Sheikh,
Jamaluddin Hansavi, Moulana Yahiah Gharib, Sheikh
Burhanuddin Hansavi, and some other Darwesh were present
there in the service of the Sheikh of Islam. The discussion was
about the group which used to engage in the invocation of Allah
was in progress. He said with his holy tongue, “ Oh: Darwesh as
per the religion of Sufism and as per mysticism that person will
not become Sufi and mystic unless he will not engage himself in
the invocation of Allah. Because he do not know at the moment
when he will be away from the invocation of Allah, then that
time what graces will be taken out of him. So it is good to be
engaged in the invocation of Allah as for as for as possible.
Afterward, he said, “ One who will always drown in the
invocation of Allah, then if there will be a sword on his head, but
he did not know in this matter.”
550
Afterward, he said “ Once somebody was requested with a

Derwish when he will engage in the invocation of Allah, then he
should pray in his favour. He said, “ Alas: at that moment of
invocation of Allah, if your thought will come into his mind then
he should away from the invocation of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ When Junaid of Baghdad will be used
to engage in the invocation of Allah, then he will be drowned in
it and he was used to be in such condition for a period one year
and also for two years and he did not aware of his condition in
this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Sheikh Moinuddin Chistii was
engaging in the invocation of Allah, then at that time the world
of the calamities were present in his service and said the
calamities will fall down on the mankind. At that time one of his
disciples came there and said him, “ The ruler of the city want to
expel him from the city.” So Khaja Saheb asked him “ Where is
he.?” The disciple said “ He went on the hunt.” Then Khaja Saheb
said “ He was made a mistake. If he will reach safely and
securely, then it will be a matter of surprise.” When Khaja Saheb
said these worlds then immediately it came a news that the ruler
was falling down from the horse and died.”
Afterward, he said “ When the person of condition used to be
engaged in the invocation, then the grace and problem both will
present in his service. So if there will be difficulty in the fate of
the person then he will given the difficulty. So oh: Darwesh that
person is the wise one who will not disturb when they will engage
in the invocation. Because nobody knows what will be said by the
holy tongue in that condition.”
Afterward, he said “ When Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki used to
engage very much in the invocation during his time and when
the condition will be exceeded, then he was used to become
unconscious for one day and one night on the prayer mat and then
he will not able to know his condition in this matter.”
551
Afterward, he said, “ The people of mysticism think that heart

alive, which will be engaged in the invocation of Allah and so
one should not be away even for a moment from the invocation
of Allah in this matter.”
The careless is not alive, and also, he is dead
Afterward, he said “ Once one pious person was left
invocation of Allah so for this reason in that city a call was heard
that so and so Sufi person was no more in the world. But when the
people of the city visited his house and they find that that Sufi
person is living in the house.” When the people were going back
from him then he called all of them and he said “ Actually that
call was correct. Because he was used to engage always in
invocation of Allah. But he was left the invocation of Allah for
some moment, so for this reason that called was heard that so and
so Sufi person died.”
Afterward, he said “ The hearts of those persons are dead
which are not engaged in the invocation of Allah. Because the
people of mysticism think that the heart which is away from the
invocation of Allah is as dead. Their saying is that the heart
which is living will not be away from the invocation of Allah.”
The attack of Ibn Maljam on Ali Ibn Abi Taleb (R.A.)

It is said that when unfortunate Ibn Maljam was promised to
kill Ali bin Abi Taleb (R.A.) so everybody told him that like you
if there will be many thousand persons could not kill him. Yes,
you can kill him if he will be engaged in the prayer or he will be
in the invocation. Because in that condition he will be drowned in
the invocation in such situation that he will not able to know little
about his condition. One day he was engaged in the prayer and he
was drowned in the invocation in such condition that he could not
able to know his own condition due to his high level of worship
of Allah. The unfortunate Ibn Maljam came there with a sword in
his hand and attacked him from the right side and injured his
stomach. When he was finished his prayer, then he finds himself
552
in the blood and asked what is the condition.? Somebody told

him, “ When was engaged in the prayer, then Abdul Rahman Ibn
Malajam was attacked with the sword on him.” He said “ Thanks
to Allah, he attacked me at such a time when he was engaged in
the invocation so he could not able to know about his condition
in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ Once he saw one pious person in Lahore
when he used to start his invocation, then he will go bazaar and sit
in the hot oven in which breads are not being prepared there and
after a long time he used to return back from there and there will
be no mark of fire burnt was not found on his body.”
When Shaikh of Islam has ended these benefits, then Khaja
Saheb went inside of the house so, for this reason, all persons left
18.
The service of Ulma (theologians) and Mashaiq (learned
persons)
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at

that time in the meeting place Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi
Moulana Nizamuddin Badayuni, Jamaluddin Hansavi and some
other Darwesh persons were present there in the service of the
Sheikh of Islam. The discussion was progress about the service of
Ulma (theologian) and Mashaiq (learned persons). He said with
holy tongue that the prophet said “ One who love the knowledge
and Ulma (theologians) and Mashaiq (learned persons), then
there will be no sin will be recorded for him.”
Afterward, he said “ Their true love is as follows. If their love
is true then they will follow them. And they will be away from
bad deeds. And then their condition will become like this so no
sins will be recorded in their deeds.”
553
A slap of Hazrat Khaja Qutubuddin Kaki

Afterward, he said “ Once one person was starting his journey
to Delhi so that he will see Khaja Qutubuddin Kaki and repent
there. During his journey, one prostitute woman also accompanied
with him and she wanted that she should have established her
relationship with that man at any cost. But that man’s intention
was true. So he did not have any interest in that woman. At last at
one place both of them have boarded in one camel’s saddle and
that woman sat near that man and in between them there was no
veil available there. It may happen when that man talked or his
hand was approached towards her so for this reason he was seen
that a man came there and slapped him and told him you are
going to see such a pious person for repentance and doing such an
action there.So for this reason that man could not see that woman
after this event. When he reached in the service of Khwaja
Qutubuddin Kaki then he first told him that on that day Allah
saved him greatly.”
Afterward, he said “ In this way one person was coming to
see him at Ajodhan from Delhi with the intention to become his
disciple. On the way, he wanted to interfere with one woman. At
that time, one hand was appearing there by the invisible source
and slapped him and told him you are going to become a disciple
and you are doing such an action there.”
In short when he came to see me in Ajohdan then I told him “
See how Allah saved you greatly.”
Afterward, he said “ The friendship of Ulma and Mashaiq
(learned persons) is the friendship of the prophet of Allah. So oh:
Darwesh if any person who do the service of Ulama (theologian)
and Mashaiq (learned persons) for a period of seven days
sincerely, then he will become like a man who have done the
worship of Allah for a period of 7,000 years.”
Afterward, he said “ The Satan used to deceive and defraud,
but he could cannot deceive and mislead Ulma (theologians) and
554
Mashaiq (learned persons). Because there is nothing greater than

the friendship of the Ulma and Mashaiq.”
Afterward, he said, “ In the heart if there is the love of Ulama
and Mashaiq is there, then his sins will be burnt down with one
particle of the love of them.”
Afterward, he said “ The learned (Ulma) persons are the
successors of the prophets and Mashaiq are pious persons of
Allah. If there will be no grace of Mashaiq and Ulma in the
world, then there will be ill-luck of deeds of the people every day
and there will be a fall of 1000 calamities in the world. So oh :
Darwesh the prophet was pride on these groups of his nation
which are called Ulma and Mashaiq person because they are the
pillars of the religion of Islam. So one who follow them, then they
will be free from the punishment on the day of judgment.
The excellence of Alim (theologians) over Abid (worshippers)
Afterward, he said “ It is available in the saying of the prophet
that one Alim Fakhia (theologian and jurist) is better than 1000
Abid (worshipper) persons. The worship of one day of Alim
(theologian) is better than the worship of Abid (worshipper) for a
period of 40 years.
Afterward, “ He said when Alim (theologian) or Sheikh is
dying, then all things which are available in the sky and the world
are presented before him. Because the lives of the people of the
world are dependent upon the lives if Uma and Mashaiq. There is
1000 regrets for that city in which there are not available any
Ulma and Mashiq.
Afterward, he said, “ When calamities befall from the sky,
then it will be less effective in that city in which Uma and
Mashaiq live there.”
When Sheikh of Islam has ended these benefits, then Khaja
Saheb went inside of the house and he was engaged in the
recitation of the holy Quran, so for this reason, this well-wishers
555
19.
The scarcity of the rainfall

that time in the meeting place Moulana Nizamuddin Badayuni,
Maulana Badruddin Ghaznavi, Jamaluddin Hansavi and some
other Darwesh persons were present there in the service of the
Sheikh of Islam. He said with his tongue that “ The scarcity of the
rainfall is due to the reaction of the misdeeds of the people.”
Afterward, he said “If such condition will prevail, then he
should give charity in this matter, and they should engage in the
worship and prayers to Allah. So that due to the blessing of their
worship and prayers there will be rainfall from the sky. Once it
was happened that due to the scarcity of the rainfall the fields of
the crops were damaged and the people began dying for this
reason. So all people gathered in the service Zanon of Egypt and
requested him to pray for the rainfall. He told them to gather in
the mosque and when the people gather there, then he stood on
the pulpit and he was reciting the supplication for the rainfall and
he was looking at the sky and he said “ Oh : Lord, if there is
someone's foot is blessed there in the gathering, then sends the
rainfall.” Upon saying these words of Khaja Saheb, suddenly the
heavy rainfall was started there and which was not stopped till
seven days.”
The rainfall is due to the prayer of pious persons
Afterward, he said “ Once there was scarcity of water in Delhi
city. The people requested Nizamuddin Abul Moid for the
rainfall. So he stood on the pulpit and recited the supplication of
the rainfall and he was looking at the sky and he said oh :Lord, if
you will not send the rainfall then he will not live with the
population and he will go to the jungle and he will reside there.
Upon saying this he was getting down from the pulpit, then there
such a great rainfall was stated that there was not limited to it.”
556
Afterward, when he met Khwaja Qutubuddin then Khaja Saheb

told him “ We were proud of our devotion with you that you are
close to Allah but why you have said that if there will no rainfall
then you will not live in the populated area and go and live in the
jungle area.” Sheikh Saheb told me that he knows well that surely
the rainfall will be there.” Khaja Saheb asked him how he did
know in this matter.?” He said “ Once on the sitting on the floor
near Sultan Shamuddin there was arguments between me and
Syed Nooruddin Mubark and I said such things to him with which
he was angered with me in this matter. When the people requested
me for the supplication of the rainfall then I went to the
mausoleum of Syed Saheb and said there “ You are angry with
me and the people are requesting me to pray for the rainfall and if
you comprise with me then I will pray on this matter otherwise I
will not pray for the rainfall. And he heard the call that there is
comprise in this matter so go and pray for the rainfall.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Derwish, once there was starvation
in Basra city and there was no rainfall there.The people gathered
there and requested Hasan of Basra for the supplication of
rainfall and if he will pray then surely there will be rainfall. When
there is very much pressure on him, then he asked all of them to
gather in the grand mosque in Basra city.”
So Khaja Saheb after the Friday prayer, stood on the pulpit and
recited the supplication of rainfall there. He brought turban and
robe in the sleeve and he took out these things to the pulpit and
prayed to Allah and he said due to the dignity of this dress which
was touched by the prophet of Allah send the rainfall. Still, he has
not completed his prayer, then heavy rainfall started and there was
such rainfall that which was not stopped for a period of seven
days in Basra city.”
Afterward, he said “ There was severe starvation in Delhi city
so, for this reason, all Mashaiq (learned persons) and all people
left for the city and went into the field for the supplication of the
rainfall. Sheikh Nizamuddin stood on the pulpit and recited the
557
supplication of rainfall and he was taken one cloth from his

sleeve and he was looking at the sky and said something by his
lips so then the rainfall was started there and afterward it was
continued heavy rainfall. When Sheikh Saheb was returned back
to his house, then he was asked about the cloth. He said, “It was
the edge of the shirt of his mother.”
Afterward, he said, “ In the city where there is no rainfall then
verse Duqan from holy Quran should be recited during the night
time.”
When the Sheikh of Islam has ended these benefits, then he
was engaged in the worship of Allah so, for this reason, I and all
20.
The miracles and revelations

that time at the meeting place Moulana Suhabuddin Bukhari and
some other Darwesh were present there in the service of the
Sheikh of Islam. The discussion about the miracles and
revelations, was in progress. He said with his holy tongue “As the
miracles of the prophets is reality and in the same way miracles
of the holy persons are also truth.” As per requirement of the
religion of mysticism, it is not good to disclose miracles. It is
written in the books that Allah made obligation for the holy
persons for not to disclose their miracles in the same it is made
obligation for the holy prophets of Allah to show their miracles to
the mankind. In short, if one who will show his miracle, then he
will become a person who is not following an obligatory thing.
The stages of the mystical
Afterward, he said “ Our masters of Chistia chain have shown
us 15 grades of mysticism. Among them, its fifth grade is
558
miracles and revelations. If during this grade if the mystic person

will do revelation, then it is not legal. The mystics should pass 15
grades then he should do revelation in this matter.
Afterward, he said “ Khaja Qutubuddin was asked how the
people should know that any person is made progress and he is
perfect in the stages of mysticism and he was completed all
grades.” He said “ If he would blow on the dead body, then the
dead body will become alive by the order of Allah, then
understand in this matter that such person was reached at the
height of the perfection.”
Afterward, he said “ When Khaja Qutubuddin was explaining
these benefits, then at that time one old woman came there by
weeping and she said Salam to him and she said that she had one
son who was innocent and to whom the king was hanged him on
the cross. Upon hearing this he was standing with his staff along
with his friends and he went outside of the shrine building. The
old woman was walking ahead of all of them. When he reached
near the dead body of the boy when many persons of Hindu and
Muslim were there in the gathering around the boy's corpse. Then
Khaja Saheb prayed Allah and he said “ Oh: Lord, if the king
was hanged him on the cross due to no guilty reason, then give
him life again.” Still Khaja Sahib’s prayer was not completed then
boys become alive and stood there and began walking. On that
day many thousand Hindu persons were accepted the religion of
Islam. Afterward, he said “ Khaja Qutubuddin addressed his
disciples that no person could not able to get position more than
this which was available to the spiritual masters of the Chisti
order of Sufism.”
The excellence and piousness of mother of Khaja Farid Ganj
Shaker
Afterward, he said “ His mother was pious woman and her
excellence was well known. Accordingly, once one thief entered
the house and at that time all persons were sleeping there, but she
was waking up there.When the thief could not able to go outside
559
of the house, then he said if there are male members are there in
the house and who are like his brother and his father.If there is a
woman in the house and who is like his sister and mother and
due to horror his sight is lost. So they should pray for his light of
eyes, then he will promise that he will never involve in the
robbery in his entire life. Upon, hearing this my mother prayed
for the recovery of his eye sight so he got the light of his eyes and
he left from the house. At the day break my mother did not
disclose this event to anybody in this matter. In the morning time
that the thief came there to his house along with his family
members with a pot of buttermilk on his head and he was
accepted into the religion of Islam and he repented of the work of
theft.
The miracle of the prophet
Once the prophet and Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) went towards
mountain side and where they find Abdullah bin Masood was
grazing the goats there. The prophet was asked some milk from
him, but he said to him that “ He is a trustee so how he can give
the milk to him.?” Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) said to him, “ He is
the prophet of Allah and myself is his friend. If you give some
milk, then what will be happening to you.?” He a said “He is
trustee and there is no permission in this matter to give milk.” The
prophet asked him to bring such a she-goat who did not give
birth of goats. When it was brought then the prophet touched her
back with his hand, then that she-goat was given very much milk
that there was no limit to it.
Afterward, he said “ It it known that she goat till her life used
to give daily five liters of milk.”
Once he arrived in Ghazni as a traveler there. I have seen
there one person in the cave and who was pious person and he
was engaged in the worship of Allah there. I was entered into the
cave and said Salam to him. He replied my Salam and asked me
to sit there. After some time he told me, “ Oh dear, he was in that
560
cave for a period of 30 years in the worship of Allah and his

sustenance is received there by an invisible source there. If he will
get something, then he eats the same and if it is not available
anything, then he will be thankful to Allah in this matter.”
In short the prayer time came then he was joined with him and
want to see how we will break the fast. There was a tree of dates
was there near of that cave. So that pious person shakes that tree
and ten dates were fallen down there. He was giving me five dates
and he himself eat five dates. But there was no water available
there. So he strikes his feet on the ground and one water spring
was appearing there. When he was leaving from there, then he
was paid respect to him at that time he was given me five gold
coins from the inside of his prayer mat.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwish once he and Sheikh
Jalaluddin Tabrizi were reached to Badayun. One day we were
sitting inside of the porch of the house, then one butter, milk seller
while putting the pot on his head was passed from there and who
was from village Musa, and that village people were well known
for theft and robbery.”
In short when he looked at the face of Sheikh Jalaluddin then
there was effected in his heart. When Sheikh Jalauddin looked at
him, then he said that “ There are such brave persons are there
in the religion of Islam and he becomes immediately Muslim on
the spot. He was given his name as Ali. He becomes Muslim and
brought 100,000 Jetil local currency of India and given to him.
Sheikh Saheb accepted that amount and asked him to keep with
him and asked him to spend the amount as per his advice. From
that amount he used to give some amount to the needy persons.
From that amount he will use give to needy person 40 0r 50 Jetil
or some, less or more than these amounts, but every person will
be paid not less than 5 Jitil. When one Jitil was left, then Ali
thought now Sheikh will ask him to pay 5 Jitil. So from where he
will bring 4 more Jitil. When he was thinking like this one beggar
came there and asked for help to him. He asked him to pay one
561
Jitil. So that person was surprised in this matter. When Sheikh

was leaving from that place Ali then wants to accompany with
him. So he told him to go back. Sheikh tried his best and
convinced him in this matter. But he requested him greatly. But at
last Sheikh told to go back there is reason in it because this city is
in your favour and when Sheikh was left from that city Ali
came back to his place.”
When Sheikh of Islam has ended these benefits and he
went inside of his house so, for this reason, I and all other
21.
The respect of the spiritual master
Today I was sanctified to touch the feet of Khaja Saheb and

at the meeting place Moulana Yahiah Gharib, Moulana
Nizamuddin Badayuni, Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi, Sheikh
Burhanuddin Hansvi and some other Darwesh persons were
present there in the service of the Sheikh of Islam. There was a
discussion about the respect of the spiritual master was in
progress. He said with his holy tongue “ Oh: Darwesh, the
disciple should obey the order of the master willingly.”
At the situation, he said “Once Khaja Qutubuddin was asked
what extend are the rights of the master on his disciple.? He said,
“ If he will carry his master on his head for his entire life during
the journey on the way of Hajj pilgrimage then he will not fulfil
his rights.”
Afterward, he said “ He was with Khaja Moinuddin for a
period of 20 years during the journey and stay period. Once we
have reached a jungle in which even the birds could not enter
there. We have wandered in that jungle for a period of 3 days. I
heard that there is a mountain near that jungle in which one pious
person used to live there. At that place he was giving me two hot
breads from inside of his prayer mat and he asked me to go and
562
convey his Salam to him and give the breads to that pious
person.When I have placed the breads before the pious person and
conveyed Salam to him. Then that pious person gave me one
bread and he kept one bread at the time for his breaking of the
fast.He was given me four dates from the prayer mat and he told
me to give these dates to Sheikh Moinuddin. When Sheikh
Moinuddin saw those dates, then he was very happy and he said “
Oh : Darwesh the order of the spiritual master is just like the
order of the prophet. So one who obeys the order of the master
then he is obeying the order of the prophet of Allah.”
Afterward, he said with his holy tongue that the prophet of
Allah says “ There will be two comforts which will be available to
the fast, keeping person one is at the time of the fast breaking and
another at the time of sighting of Allah.”
When the fast, keeping person will complete the fast, then he
will get these two comforts. Due to thanks to Allah, he was
fulfilled this obedience so he was expected these two graces for
him.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh there is a reward for every
obedience and reward for the fast, keeping is a sighting of Allah.
In this way, the fast, keeping a person will be happy at the time
of the breaking of the fast and, in the same way, he will be also
happy for expecting the sight of Allah.”
When Sheikh of Islam has ended these benefits and he put his
head down in meditation and he was in that condition for some
time and then he stood and was engaged with the condition of the
surprise so, for this reason, I and all other persons left from the
meeting place.
563
22.
The grief and misery
Today I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and in the

meeting Moulana Bahauddin Gharib, Moulana Nizamuddin
Badayuni, Sheikh Jamaluddin Hansavi and some other Darwesh
persons were present there in the service of the Sheikh of Islam.
There was discussion about the grief and misery were in
progress. He said with his holy tongue “ Oh: Darwesh when there
will be a fall of grief and misery on the man then he should think
that why and from where it was falling upon him. So he should
take warning from it. One who will be in the condition of
obedience, then he will not face any kind of grief and misery
condition. For this reason not only the rope for him is made,
large, but also, he will be kept safe from such things which will
cause him disrespect and disregard.”
Afterward, he said Ayesha Siddiqa (R.A.) said “ If there will
be thorn be thrust at her feet, then she will come to know the
reason of it.”
So when there will blame upon her than she was told in her
hymns to Allah “ Oh: Lord, I know why there was blame upon
her.Because the prophet of Allah used to claim of Your love but
he had some of his nature of the inclination with her. So for this
reason, there was blame upon her.”
The benefits of patience on the misery
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh those who will be patience
on the misery then Allah will put an end their sins. “
Then he said “ Pain and problems are good things which clear
the sins of the mankind. The thing which will clear the mankind
is problem.
Afterward, he said felicity is an expiation of the sins.
Upon this he said “ He was heard by Khaja Qutubuddin that
once he was present in the service of Khaja Moinuddin Chisty,
and he was seen that there was a decline in his health but he was
564
not seen praying for his health. But he was used to pray “ Oh :
Lord, where there is pain and misery, then send them to the life
of Moinuddin.On one occasion Khaja Qutubuddin told him “
How you will pray that and ask to involve in severe grief and
misery upon you.He said “ One who prays like that then think
it's a sign of his correct faith. Then he will be free from the sins
and he will become like a person who have just born from the
womb of his mother.”
Afterwards he said “ It was the practice of Rabia of Basra
that she used to desire and wish for illness and pains for her and
on the day when if there be no fever type misery, then she will
pray with Allah “ Oh: Lord You may have forgotten this old
woman and not sent down misery on her.”
Afterwards he said “ When Junaid of Baghdad will suffer
from fever, pain or problem, then he used to perform the prayer of
thanks of 1000 Rakat every day.”
Afterwards he said “ When the time of recovery of health of
prophet Ayub (A.S.) was there, then one insect was falling down
from his body to the earth but he collected the insect and put on
his body. So it stings him so he was made a slogan and he was
fallen on the earth. At that time angel Gabriel came there and said
it is the command of Allah for that insect to fall on the earth. But
due to disobedience to the order of Allah you have collected the
insect from the earth and put it on your body. So one who will do
disobedience, then he will be punished in this way.”
Afterwards, he said “ Oh: Darwish once he was in the service
of Khaja Qutubuddin Kaki and at that time Sultan Shamsuddin
sent his minister there and he requested him for the health of the
king. When the minister came there and requested for the health
of the king then Khaja Saheb asked the persons in the meeting
to recite a verse of Fatiha sincerely for the health of the king.
When the persons recited the verse of Fatiha then the Sheikh
told the minister “ To go the king became healthy.” But the
565
illness is signifying of the perfection of Eman (faith) and due to

this reason the sins will be forgiven by Allah.
When the Sheikh of Islam was ended these benefits and he
wept and he said “ Oh : Darwesh on this way the lovers made the
pain and calamities as their food. When there will no fall of
calamity on them, then they will mourn in this matter. Because
on that day, their friend did not remember and ignored them. If
he will not ignore them, then surely he will be remembered them
and involve them in some illness or calamity. Whenever he will
face pain or calamities then he will use to perform the prayer of
thanks of 1000 Rakat. In this way, such thanks will be shown to
the friend for remembering him. So oh : Darwesh on the way of
love such person is truly one who desires very much for the pain
and calamities because the pain and misery are always a source
of the light and secrets of Allah.”
Afterward, he said “ Oh : Darwish Khaja Mansour Hallaj was
in suffering from fever for a period of one year and during this
period, nobody has not seen him decreasing his sincerity of
worship of the Allah. But he was increasing his worship in that
condition of illness.
Afterward, he said “ Oh: Darwesh the people of mystics wrote
that pain, problems and calamities are like sweet to the persons of
love which are distributed among the children at the time of
happiness so that they should feel happy in this matter.”
So if there will be no grace in the pain and misery, then
prophet Adam (A.S.) will not accept both of them. If in grief and
sorrow there will no very much comfort, then prophet Ayub
(A.S.) will not do patience. If there will no shock and fondness in
misery and calamities then prophet David (A.S.) will not desire
them and will not do endeavours in them. So while considering
these matters the prophets, pious persons and the lovers wished
very much for the misery and calamity. One who does not have
pain in this world, then he will not become successful in this
matter.”
566
Afterward, he said “ Oh : Darwesh when the Sheikh of Islam

said these words with his holy tongue, then he shut, tears from his
eyes and he said “ Oh : Darwesh person, we are travelers and
we are sitting on the calamity and which is known as the world.
Suddenly our capacity of life will be folded and our final place
and destination is grave. Upon saying this he was standing and he
was engaged in the condition of surprise.”
During the period of 12 years the words which are heard from
me with the Sheikh’s holy tongue of literacy, secrets and symbols,
are recorded in this collection. If the age will allow me for some
time, then I will record the sayings of the Sheikh.
The End.

Fawaid Al-Fawad Part one

Khaja Sahib who is followed by the right path and
575
conquered the hearts of the people and he is the mercy of the

world and the king of the poor people, the helpers of needy
persons and he is well known as Sheikh Nizamuddin Aulia,
who is the leader of the Islamic law (Shariah) and a master of
guidance and as well as a master of religion. And Allah, may
give him a long life so that due to his personality and teachings
all Muslims seek the favour of guidance from him. From the
belief of latent and from the treasure of preaching and his jewels
of the invisible and doubtless flowers of guidance are collected
in this book. Whatever I was hearing from with his holy tongue
and which has been recorded in the same style of his wording or
its meaning has been added in this book and in some writings
are recorded as per my low level of knowledge. As due to the
collection of speeches there will be a benefit to sympathetic
persons so, for this reason, its book’s name is given as Fawaid
al-Fawad.
The discussion about Chast (mid-morning supererogatory)

prayer and six prayers after evening prayer
On the Sunday of the 3rd Shaban month in the year 707
Hegira, this slave and sinner and well wisher Hasan Sajzi who is
a collector of the speeches of the king of the sky and the owner
of the lands and the great Sheikh and to whom I was able to kiss
the feet of the king of higher status of the sky and the kingdom
and at that time in the peerless eyes of Qutub (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot) and of sun of the conscience I was getting
respect and got from him the four end Turkey cap.
On that day, he said, “ In the established prayers and prayer
of Chast (mid-morning supererogatory prayer) and prayer of six
rakat after evening prayer and fasting on the days of Baiz (13,
576
14 and 15 dates of a lunar month) days to be observed as

compulsory.”
The Sheikh told with his holy tongue “ The person who
repents is equal with pious (Mutaqi) persons. Mutaqi is such
person who did not commit any sin throughout his life and who
did not drink liquor in his whole life. The penitent is such a
person who had done sin and after that, he was repenting in this
matter.”
Afterward, he said “ As per the Hadith (sayings of the prophet
of Allah) the above two persons are equal. Hadith says “Altaib
Min Zombie Kaman la-Zambia Lahu” and its meaning and
interpretation is that the person of the penitent is like that person
who did not commit any sin.”
Afterward, he said “That person, it means penitent who did
sins and done disobedience and who has left disobedience and
when he will do repentance and follow obedience so, then there
will be pleasure in his obedience, so it is possible that one
particle of obedience will burn his field of the disobedience.”
After this for some time the discussion about that some pious
persons who used to keep themselves in hiding were started and
but Allah will manifest them. He said “ Khaja Abul Hasan Noori
Noor Allah used to pray in his anthology of hymns “ Elahi
Estonia biladak bin ebadak ” “Oh: Allah keeps his secret in his
city in between the persons.” He heard the divine call “ Ya Aba
Hasan al-Haq la yaster Shai.” It means “ Oh: Abul Hasan
nothing will hide the reality and the reality will never allow you
to live in hiding.” Then he told one story that in Nagore area one
pious person Hameeduddin was there and he was asked question
that “ Some Mashaiq (learned persons) when they used to live in
the world and till then they were well known in the world and
577
but when they leave from the world then nobody will call their
names and some of them will become famous upon their death.”
He said, “ Those who will try for fame in the world, then upon
their death their names and fame will be no more in the world
and those who will keep themselves hidden then they will
become famous in the world after their deaths.”
After this, there was the discussion about great learned
persons started and he said “ Their status will be more than
Abdals (an order of saints). With his holy tongue, he said “ One
person visited the shrine building of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani
and he found one person lying on the door and that person was
in very bad condition and he was without his feet. That person
requested the Shiekh to pray for him. He said “That person was
done disrespect.” So he was asked “ What disrespect he was
done?.” He said “ He is among Abdals (an order of saints) and
yesterday this person and two other of his friends were flying in
the air and when they reach near our shrine building, then one of
his friends deflected from the shrine and due to respect he was
flying from the right side and another person was flown from the
left side, but he was flown from over our shrine building by
doing disrespect and for this reason, he was falling down there. ”
On this occasion, he said “One time when Khaja Junaid of
Baghdad was sitting is shrine building and at that time four
persons of invisible came over there. They addressed one person
among them “Where you will perform Eid (festival) prayer in
the morning?” and he said, “ In Makkah.” And after that he
asked the second person “ Where he will perform the Eid prayer
in the morning? ” And he replied “ In Madina ” and he asked
with the third person then he said “ In the Dome of rock” and he
asked the fourth person and he said “ In Baghdad along with
578
Khaja Sahib.” About fourth person he said as follows.

“Ante Azadham WA-ahem WA Afzlaham” and it means that “
He is great Zahid (ascetic), learned person and distinguished
among all of them.”
After some time there was a discussion about purification
was started, then he told with his holy tongue that “ The
perfection of the man depends upon four things as follows.
1. Eating less
2. Talking less
3. Contact less with the people
4. Sleeping less
Then the discussion about ecstasy and Ijtihad (interpretation
of Islamic law) was started so he was reciting two couplets of
Persian poetry and its meaning is that “ Being even though there
is guidance from Allah, but a man should follow Ijtihad so that
on the day judgment the record of the deeds will be not found in
blackness.”
Different issues
On Friday on 8th Shaban month in the year 707 Hegira after
the prayer, I was blessed to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. There
was one my slave and whose name was Maleh and I have freed
him before the Sheikh for the devotion purpose. And he prayed
in his favour, so at that time that slave put his head on the feet of
the Sheikh and he was benefitted of the pledge. During that
time, Khaja Saheb said “ In this way there is no difference
between master and slave. One who will come into the world of
love truly, then his work will be done for him.”
Then he said “ In Ghazni there was used to live one master
and who has one slave and his name was Zerak and who was
579
very true and pious person. When the last time of the master was
near then he asked the disciples who will be the successor after
him and all of them said Zerak. That Peer (master) had four sons
their names are as follows.
1.Eqtiar
2.Ajlad
3.Ahba
4.Ajala
Zirak told the master (Peer) “ Oh: Sheikh your sons will not
allow him to become your successor after you.? And sure there
will be enmity of them with me”. So Peer told him “ To sit with
satisfaction. If they will fight with you then I will help you from
their mischief.” So the Peer was passed away from the world,
then Zirak was become the successor of that Peer. So the sons of
the master started fighting with Zirak that being a slave of our
father you have become the successor of our father. When the
issue was surpassed its limit, then Zerak visited the mausoleum
of the Sheikh and he said “ Oh: my master you have said if your
sons will fight with me then you said you will remove evil from
him. Now they want to do harm to me. So you have to fulfill
your promise in this matter and upon saying this, he left from
there.”
In those days, the infidels attacked Ghazni city so for this
reason the people left for the city to fight with them. Those four
sons were also among with those people and they were dying in
the fighting. So now the respectful position was given to Zirak
without any difficulty. That person, Maleh was pledging with
the Sheikh so Sheikh told him to perform two rakat so he asked
him how to make the intention of two rakat of prayer. He said, “
As it comprises negation of all deities save Allah.”
580
To become popular among general, persons

On the date 15th of Shaban month in the year 707 Hijira
after the prayer the honour of kissing of the feet of the Sheikh
was available to me. One mendicant came over and he sat there
and went away. Khaja Sahib said for this reason for these people
were able to get the chance of presence in the service of Sheikh
Bahauddin Zakaria Multani. But in the presence of Sheikh of
Islam Khaja Fariduddin all kinds of Darwesh persons and others,
they were used to present in his service. He said among general,
persons there are available some special persons. In this
connection, he told one story that “ Sheikh Bahauddin used to
travel very much. One time he went in one group of mendicants
and he sat in between them. The light was gathered there. When
thinking, well carefully in this matter, then he was able to know
that from one among them the light is coming out there. So he
went to him and asked with him silently what he used to do with
them.?” He replied, “ You should able to know that there are
special persons among general persons”. In this connection, he
told one story “ One time one pious person asked about one
group of persons in this matter. And see there that one person
used to finish one Quran in two rakat of prayers. So that pious
was surprised in this matter. He said in his heart that in this
group that person live and this kind of worship is really
surprising. In this work, then how he will remain straight.? So
when he was gone ahead of them and he came back in those
people after a period ten years and he finds that person in the
same position. Then he said, “Now he was able to know really
that in the general, persons there will be available special
581
persons.”
The Discussion about fasting on Baize days (13th, 14th and
15th) and the prayer of Awabin (supererogatory prayer)
On Friday 22nd Shaban month in the year 707 Hijira after
the prayer, the honour of kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was
available to me. He was asked “ In between Eisha prayer do you
perform prayer of six prayers which you have asked me.? “ Yes
”, I said. After that, he was asked about fasting on Biaz days “
Whether you keep it.”? “Yes,” I said. Then he was asked about
Chast (supererogatory) prayer. Then I said, “Yes”. Then he told
about four rakat of prayer, of the facility. On that day, the
discussion was ended on this facility.
On Friday of the 5th Ramazan month in the year 707
Hegira before prayer, I obtained the benefit of kissing the
master’s feet. He was asked, “ What is the reason of the usual
practice of coming before prayer.” I said that “ As Maulana
Zahiruddin used to lead Tarawih (special night prayers in
Ramazan month) prayer and in which he is reciting 3 parts of
Quran daily in the prayer. So my desire for prayer behind him
for 10 days continuously so that I can hear the complete Quran
and get the reward of the Quran. If permission will be given,
then I will come back after Friday prayer so that I can perform
Tarawih prayer. ” He said “ Good”.
After that, he told this story relating to this occasion “ One
night Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria was addressed to the audience
at the meeting who were present there and asked whether the
persons among them are ready to perform two rakat (one set of
standing genuflexion and prostration in prayers) of prayer
afterward and in every rakat there will be finished one Quran.
When from the meeting nobody was ready, then he himself
582
became the leader and started praying and in the first rakat he
was finished reciting of one Quran and four parts of it and in the
second Rakat he was recited only verse Iqlas and finished the
prayer.”
Then, he said one more event that Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria
used to say “ Recital and prayers, etc., whatever he was heard
but from those things one thing I could not able to do. That is, I
heard that one pious person used to read one complete Quran
from morning to the time of the sun rising. In this, I have tried
my best, but I could not able to do this.”
He said one more event relating to the occasion “ One time
Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori was circumambulating of Kaaba in
Makkah and he was seeing one person there and he was
following him and doing circumambulating behind him and he
used to put his step where he will find the feet of that person.
When that person comes to know this then he told that “ Why he
is following him in the manifest and if he wants to follow then
he should follow him in the innermost.” Qazi Saheb asked him “
What he will do?. He said, “ He used to complete daily 700
times of recitation of Quran.” So he was surprised in this matter.
So he thought it may pass meaning of the Quran in his heart and
he was thinking it as reading. But that person turns towards him
and told him “ He is reading the book word by word and not by
thinking it.” When Khaja Sahib ended this story, then Aizuddin
Ali Shah, who was his special disciple questioned him, “ Is it
that miracle.?.” He said, “ Yes, the thing which did not come
into the wisdom and that thing is done only by a miracle.”
After that, the discussion about learning persons was
commenced, and “ He said Sheikh Abul Khair used to say that
whatever which was reached to him from the prophet of Allah
583
about prayer and which he is all doing all such things. Even he
was coming to know that once the prophet of Allah who was
performing the prayer of the invert. So I went there and tied a
rope to my feet and hang myself in the well by upside down and
in this way I performed prayer. When this event was finished,
then he was addressed me that the person who will reach on any
position and which is possible in his best form of action. The
grace of Allah will be available there, but there should be
required endeavours from our side and which is the most
necessary thing in this matter.”
The leaving of Tajrid (solitude)
On Friday of the fifth Shawwal month in the year 707
Hegira, I was blessed with the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh
was available to me and at that time the discussion about leaving
of the solitude was started and he said one Dervish who was
poor and an indigent was walking while holding his stomach due
to starvation. Khaja Mohammed Patwa who is my friend who
put before him one Dang (coin) and he said him, “ He ate husk
today to full of my stomach,so he is not in need of any Dang.
So I he did not in need of that Dang.” Afterward, Khaja Sahib
was coming to know his condition of starvation and he was
surprised in this matter. He said “ Oh: what is his power of
content and patient?.”
In this situation, he said, “ About content and be tempted
from other than Allah and in this connection he said once one
pious person Sheikh Ali when he was sewing his saintly dress
and his feet were stretched there and he was putting the dress on
them and doing stitching work and during that time he was told
that caliph of place is coming there but he did not care in this
matter and he was sitting there in his working condition and he
584
said to let him come there. The caliph came there and said salam
to him and he sat there and Sheikh replied his salam. The guard,
who was with the caliph told Darwish to fold his foot, but
Sheikh did not care a little in this matter. So the guard told two,
three times. So the caliph was returning back from there and at
that time Sheikh caught one hand of the guard and one hand of
the caliph and told them “ I have folded my hands, so which is
legal for me so if my foot will not be folded and it means I do
not have greedy from you and I do not take anything from you
so as a matter of fact I have folded my hands. So for this reason,
if do not stretch my foot, then there is no harm in this matter.”
Then a discussion about the rule of mysticism was started
and he said “ One person came in the presence of Sheikh Ajal
Shirazi and he became his disciple and he was waiting for an
instruction from him that he will show him about prayer or
recital. But Khaja Sahib told him ‘” Do, not like such thing for
others which you did not think such thing for yourself and did
like for yourself any desire of such thing for yourself and which
you desire such thing from others.” After long time he was
presented in the presence of his Sheikh and he told him “ He
was becoming his disciple on the such and such day and he was
desired to get an instruction from you about prayers and recital
but you have not instructed me in this matter. And now he was
desirous of the things from you. Khaja Sahib told him, “ On that
day I told you do not like such thing for yourself which you did
not like the same thing for others and desire for yourself the
same thing which expects from others. But you have not
remembered the first lesson so how I will give you another
lesson for you.?”
Afterward, he told this event that one pious person used to
585
say that prayer, fasting, recitals, recitation are just like are in a
place of spices. But the real thing is meat in the cauldron, but
when there will no meat, then what is the use of spices there.?
When he was asked, he used to tell this number of times, but he
did not explain in this matter. ? Then he said “ Meat is like
leaving the world and that prayer, fasting, recitals, glorification
are like spices. That man should leave the world and do not have
a relation with anything. Whether in its prayer and fasting, etc.
are there find or not and there should be no fear in it. But when
there will friendship of the world in the heart, then there will not
benefit at all for recital and recitation.”
After this Khaja Sahib with his holy tongue said “ If we put
ghee, chilies, spices in the cauldron and only while pouring
water into it and cooked stew and then it is called ‘Shurba Hai
Zur’ it means it is called false stew. Because real stew is that
which is prepared with the meat, whether there is available
spices are not in it.”
Leaving of the world

Afterward the discussion about leaving of the friendship of
the world was started with his holy tongue. He said, “ The
meaning of leaving of the world is not that the man should be in
naked condition and sit in a loincloth, but the meaning of
leaving the world is that to wear dresses and eat food, but
whatever he will get then he should not incline to it and do not
have to keep his heart in it.”
The rules of Tasawuf (mysticism)
On the Wednesday in the month of Shawwal in the year 707
Hegira, gotten the blessing of the kissing of the feet of the
586
Sheikh available to me and at that time the discussion about

rules of Taswauf (mysticism) and sayings of Mashaiq (learned)
persons and about their details and reformation were started. He
was told with his holy tongue “ Sheikh Jamaluddin Bustami was
well known about the customs and manners of the Sheikh of
Islam Dasan. And thus that the jug which he used and it has four
ends so that it can behold from four sides. There was a pious
person and who told him “This jug is called Luqmani jug.” So
Sheikh Jamaluddin asked him “Why it is so.?” And he said
“There was one pious person Sheikh Luqman Kharafsi and
whose qualities are uncountable and once his Friday prayer or
any Islamic work was left, then all leaders of the city came to
visit him for his accountability in this matter and he was told
that all leaders of the city have come there to have discussed
with him.” The Sheikh asked “Whether they are coming to see
him by their conveniences or coming on foot.? ” And he was
informed that they are coming of conveniences. At that time, he
was sitting on the wall and he told wall to walk with the order of
Allah and immediately the wall started moving. The purpose in
it was that once Sheikh Luqman asked his disciple to bring
water jug for him and he brought it and given to him, but there
was no handle on it to hold it. So Sheikh told the jug should be
like that it should have some handles to hold the jug. So the
disciple prepared one handle for the jug and was given to the
Sheikh and he told him you are holding its end so where he
should hold it.? Then disciple was made two ends water jug and
he was given the jug to the Sheikh by holding one end and the
other end was before the Sheikh. Then Sheikh told him two ends
are before your side so how he can hold the water jug so go and
prepared the jug with three ends. The disciple made water jug of
three ends and held the two ends in his hand and third he kept
587
toward his chest so Sheikh smiled and told him go and make
four ends and he brought four ends water jug. So for this reason,
this kind of water jug is called Luqmani water jug.
The discussion in the presence of the leader (Imam) in
prayer
On Friday 26th Shawwal month in the year 707 Hegira, I
was blessed of kissing of the feet of the Sheikh and at that time
discussion about prayer, the leader (Imam) and followers
(prayers) was in progress. He told “The state of presence is that
whatever follower in prayer read in the prayers, then he should
think about its meaning in his heart. Afterward, he said Sheikh
Bahauddin Zakaria has one of his disciples and whose name was
Hasan Afghan and who was a person of Vilayat (saintliness) and
a very pious person. So Sheikh Bahauddin used to say “ If on the
day of judgment he will be asked by Allah what he was brought
there?.Then I will reply that I brought Hasan Afghan from the
world.” Once this Hasan Afghan was passing from the lane and
was entered in the mosque and Muazzin (one who shouts the
call to prayer) announced the prayer call and he also called
Takbir (announce initiation of congregational prayers) for the
prayer and there he was become an Imam (leader) in the mosque
and others were became his followers and Khaja Hasan was
follow him. When people left of the mosque after performing
the prayer so he asked with Imam (leader) silently that “When
you have started your prayer, then he was with him and you
have reached in Delhi from here you have purchased slaves from
there and reached back here. I am following you and wandering
behind you here and there and after this, you took your slaves
and went to Khurasan. At last say, yourself is this called
prayer.?”
588
Afterward, he was explaining about piousness he told “

Once he went to one village and where one mosque was built
and Khaja Hasan went to that village and he told the people to
keep the arch in another direction because Qibla (direction in
which Muslims turn in prayer) is in that direction.” There was
one wise person was there in that village and who fight with him
in this matter and that person told him that Qibla is in another
direction. At last, after some time fighting with the wise person,
Khaja Hasan told him to see in the direction which he is
showing. When that the wise person saw in that direction
carefully and he has shown him holy Kaaba. Afterward, he told
about the condition of that person is that he is an un-educated
person. The people used to bring before him tablet or paper on
which they will write of some prose, poetry, Arabic and Persian
lines and in those lines there will be written one line of the
Quran then people asked him to find the line of the Quran.? And
which he used to find that line of the Quran. The people used to
ask him you are an un-educated person then how he will
distinguish in this matter. He used to say in those lines and in the
line of the Quran, he will find the light of religion and which is
not found in other lines.”
Then a discussion about engrossment in prayer was started
so he was told with his holy tongue “ In Delhi one Khaja Karim
used to live there before you and at last when he left the world
and he became a great pious person. He used to say that many
times that till his grave will be available in Delhi then no infidel
got control of it.”
Attention in the prayer
He said about attention at the prayer time. One day he was
busy in the Maghrib (sunset) prayer at the gate of Kamal. And at
589
that time, there was a disturbance of people of Mewat. Nobody

could not visit that gate untimely there. Khaja Sahib was busy in
the prayer and his friends were standing at the door and were
calling him from there to come back in the city. There was
overpowering of the doorkeepers. In short, when Khaja Sahib
has finished his prayer and he came back from there. So he
asked, “ Whether he was heard any call?”. And he said “ No.”
Then he was told, “ It was a matter of surprise that we have
made so many loud and cry, but you have not heard in this
matter.” He said, “ It is surprising for such person who is busy in
the prayer and who will hear loud and cry of another person.”
Afterward, he said, “ From the time when Khaja Karimullah
turned to Allah, then throughout his life he did not touch
Dirhams and Dinars.”
The leaving of the world
Afterward, Khaja Sahib told about leaving of the world and
its luxuries, and he said: “ So one should keep high courage in
this matter and should not involve in the filth of the world and
should leave greed and lust.”
On 5th Zeqad month in the year 707 Hegira, I was blessed
to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. He asked me “ You expected to
come on Friday then why did, he came today.” I said, “ Felicity
showed me this way and at the time of felicity this wealth is
available.” He said, “ It is good and which is done by an
invisible source so it will be good.”
The effect of the company
Afterward, the discussion about the effect of the company
was started and he said: “There is a heavy effect on the
company.” After this, he said “ About a leave of a world by high
590
exaggeration that when one lowly thing is left then we will

surely get on the gentle thing. ”
The eating in the supererogatory fasting
On the Tuesday of the tenth Ziqad month in the year 707
Hegira, I was blessed to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. At the
meeting place, Moulana Wajihuddin Paheli, Moulana
Hasanuddin Haji and his friend Moulana Tajuddin, Moulana
Jalaluddin and other persons were present at the meeting place.
Then food was brought. He said, “ Those who are not keeping
fast should also eat the food.” In among them most of the people
were not kept fasting on days of Baiz (13, 14 and 15 dates of a
lunar month) but they all were given food.
Afterward, he said “ When the dear persons will come there,
then they should be provided food and should not be asked
whether they have kept fasting or not.? Because if he did not
keep fast, then he will eat the food. There is the wisdom of not
asking is that if he will say that he was kept fasting, then the
show will be found with him. If he will keep fasting, then he is
true and thorough. Then he will say that he was keeping fast and
then for his sincerity will be written in the book of deeds clearly.
If he will say he is not keeping fast, then he will become a liar
and in this case, there will disrespect of the questioning person
will be done.”
On the Saturday 21 Zequad month in the year 707 Hegira
year, the blessing of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was
available to me. The discussion about the blessing of feet of
pious persons was started and he said: “ The position which is
customary and due to the felicity of the right feet of the pious
persons just like the central mosque of Delhi.” Afterward, he
said, “ When there will be a step of a pious person and which
591
will be put in any place and that place will become a place of
comfort.” During this discussion he said “ He was heard from
Mahmud Kabir that he used to say that he was seen one pious
person in the morning time who is walking on the gilded parapet
in the central mosque of Delhi, which is on the window of the
arch and he was so fast like a bird and I was watching him from
a distance. At the dawn time, he was getting down from parapet
so I proceeded further and said salam to him. He asked me
“Whether he was seen him.” So I said, “ Yes.” So he said “ Not
to disclose this matter to anybody.” During this discussion, I
asked “ Many of the pious persons used to keep their conditions
in secret and what is reason in this matter.? “ He said “ If they
disclosed a secret, then they will deprive in this matter and will
not eligible for the secret. When if somebody will be told secret
matter to any person and if he will disclose secrets to others,
then secret matters should not be disclosed to such persons.” I
said, “ What is the matter that Khaja Abu Saeed Abul Khair told
us many times invisible matters.” He said “ At that time pious
persons when there will time of being under overpowering of
fondness and due to intoxication they used to disclose these
matters. But those who are perfect persons did not disclose any
secret matter.”
After that he said “ The courage should be great and which
should be suitable for secrets. The people of this type belong to
the people of sahu (sobriety).” I asked him “ Whether the status
of persons of intoxication or people sahu (sobriety) whichever is
greater.? He said “ The people of sahu are having more status. ”
The discussion about acceptance of prayer
On the Wednesday of the 14th Zilhaj month in the in the year
707 Hegira, I was blessed to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. The
592
discussion about acceptance of the prayer was started. He said

with his holy tongue that “ The obedience and recitals which is
accepted from the person of grace and due to its increase and
for which there will be comfort available in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ There are some recitals are there which
I made for me as compulsory and some recitals I have got from
my master. There will be very much comfortable in performing
these two kinds of recitals and in which there is a difference
between earth and the sky.”
Afterward, the discussion about leaving off the power was
started and it is meant by the power we should not perform any
work. With his holy tongue, he said: “ It is better to become
subject other than becoming of the ruler.”
Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair left the
shrine building on Friday then he asked with his disciples the
way which goes to the central mosque? And how to proceed
there?.” From the audience, one person said “ This way goes. He
asked him you have gone there so many times for performing
the Friday prayer and you do not know the way.” He said, “ He
knew, but he asked because he wants to become the subject of
another person.” Afterward, he was discussed leaving the native
place and the love of the place.
The discussion of the obedience
On the Sunday of the 3rd Muharram month in the year 707
Hegira, the blessing to kiss the feet of the Sheikh was available
to me. The discussion about obedience was started and he said “
Obedience is compulsory and causative. The compulsory is such
thing from which there will be a benefit which will reach to the
personality of that person and these are prayer, fasting, recital
and glorification. And belong the causative which will give
593
benefits to others. Agreement and kindness and favour for the

unrelated person, etc., are called causative and its rewards are
very much. In the compulsory obedience, there is required
manners which are must so that it must be accepted. But
causative worship which is done in any way and which will be
accepted and its reward will be available.”
The Velayat (saintliness)
On the Thursday of the seventh Muharram month in the year
707 Hegira, the blessing of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh
was available to me. At that time, the discussion about Vilayat
was started. He said Vilayat and Velayat both are available in
the Sheikh Sahib. The Vilayat is that with which master should
make his disciples as pious and teach them the rules of Tariqat
(mystic way of life) and what is there in between him and in the
creatures and it is called Velayat. But whatever is there with him
and in between the creator and this is called Vilayat (saintliness)
and this is a special love. And when the Sheikh will leave the
world then he should not take Vilayat with him. In this
connection, he said one event that there was one pious person
and who sent his disciple to another pious person and he asked
him what was happening in the last night.? He has sent message
to him that “ Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair was died in the last
month.” Then that pious person was asked through his disciples,
“ To whom Vilayat (saintliness) was given on that night?” And
he said, “ He did not know and whatever I know in this matter, I
told him.” Afterwards, it was known that that Vilayat
(saintliness) was given to Shams Arifin. Then he came to the
door of Shams Arifin, then he told him before starting of a
discussion that “ There are many of Shams Arifin of Allah are
there. So it is not known which Shams Arifin was given
594
Vilayat.” After this, he told another story about Sheikh

Najibuddin Mutwakil who was the brother of Sheikh Fariduddin
Ganj Shaker that when he went to see the teacher to get an
education from him so the teacher asked him “Are you
Najibuddin Mutawakil?” He said “ Yes.” I am Najibuddin
Mutakal and who will be Mutawakil (resigned to the will of
God)?. Afterward, the teacher told him “ Are you the brother of
the Sheikh of Islam Fariduddin.? “He said “Yes in manifest he is
but it is not known in innermost he is or not.?”
After some time the discussion about the favour of people of
grace was started and those people who care about the right of
the service. He said one Khaja Sahib of grace and a man of
courage who was living and some time he used to send some
money to Qazi Ain al-Qazat for an account of his personal
expenses. One time Qazi Sahib asked something from another
person for his personalized expenses. When that Khaja Sahib
was heard for that matter so he was becoming angry and he was
shown his anger on Qazi Sahib that why he was showing grace
to another person. ? And why this wealth he will leave to the
fate of others.? The Qazi wrote “ Do not be sad and left this
felicity for others so that other persons can get this wealth. You
should not become such person who used to say “ Oh: My Lord,
You are kind to himself at this time and do not be kind to others
and so you don't become like one among others who recited the
following Persian couplet.”
“ Oh, Gardner if the falcon will attack the garden, then you and I
will become an idol together and will fly by holding high.”
Cap of Sheikh Usman Sewastani
On that day, my nephew (author of this book) was
becoming his disciple and on that day, his brother Shamsuddin
595
was shaving his head. And on that day, Sheikh Jamal Duhata
also became his disciple. And on that day Moulana Burhanuddin
Gharib also shaved his head and Sheikh Usman Sewastani
requested for cap and he got it and Shamsuddin got Qirqa
(saintly dress). On that day, there was available too much rest.
On that day Sheikh Sahib told story of Sheikh Bedridden
Ghaznavi that “ When he used to visit in the presence of Sheikh
Sahib and then he used to put down his head.”
The invisible people
On the Wednesday on 6th Jamadal- Awwal month in the
year 707 Hegira year, I came from the cantonment of
Khizerabad and was blessed of kissing the feet of Sheikh Sahib.
The discussion about the persons of the invisible was in progress
that if a person has high courage as well as the ability and
personality of obedience and endeavour then they take away
such person with them. During this discussion he said one
person was called Nasir, who used to live in Badayun village
and from him I have heard that and who used to say “ His father
was a man of reality and he was received calls and one night so
he went outside and from inside, he was hearing voices of only
salam alaikum and he was also heard from my father who was
saying that he want to wish bye to the sons and the members of
his house and they said there is no time. Afterward, we do not
know where those people and my father went away.”
In this connection, he told one story of Sheikh Shabuddin
Saharwardi who wrote in his book. Which he wrote that in our
time one person was there and his name is Qurani and in his
house the persons of invisible used to gather there. So at the
time of prayer, these creatures used to stand in line and one
person who used to lead the prayer and the recitation is heard in
596
a loud voice and all such things will be there but no person is not
seen there but Qurani only can see them. Sheikh Suhabuddin
said that once one vertebra was sent to me from one person
among invisible persons through Qurani and that is still
available to me.In this connection he said one more story that
there was one person known as Ali and on his door they used to
come every time and used, to say Assalam Alaikum Khaja Ali
and some time he was heard this voice and one day they came to
his house together and they said Assalam Alaikum so Khaja
Sahib said “ Oh: men you say only Salam Alaikum or sometime
you are seen by me and after this he was not heard voices again.
The compiler of the book told, “ It may be possible that Khaja
Ali was done mistake in this matter.” So he said, “Yes indeed he
was done cheerfulness so he was away from this grace.”
Afterward, he said the persons of invisible used to call and used
to talk and when they used to visit and then they take the
persons. At the end of this story, he said with his holy tongue,
“In all such places and all comfort where they use to take the
persons.”
Saluk (mystic initiation)
On Monday on 19th of Jamadal-Awwal month in the year
707 Hegira, I was blessed of kissing the feet of the Sheikh and
the discussion about Saluk (mystic initiation) was started and he
said the follower (It means Salik (as a Salik (Arabic: ‫)َس اِلك‬, a
Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism) of
mystic initiation will be in search for perfection and afterward
he said there will be one Salik and one Waqif and one Rajah.
Salik, Waqif and Rajah
Salik is one who only follow the way and Waqif is one who
study Fiqh (Islamic law) and the compiler of the book told “ Is
597
there will be Waqfa (interval) for Salik also there and he said “
Indeed, at the time when there will be a fault in obedience with
Salik and so he will be stopped from the fondness of obedience
and then there will be an available gap in this matter. If he
knows soon in this matter, then do repentance so for this purpose
he will become again Salik otherwise, he will be live in the same
position. And there will the possibility of doubt that whether he
will not get returned back.” There are seven kinds of these
mistakes as follows.
1. Araz (decline)
2. Hijab (veil)
3. Tafasil (details)
4. Slab (seizure)
5. Mazid (more)
6. Tassaly (satisfaction)
7. Adawat (enmity)
He was given the details of the above kinds of mistakes as
follows.
Suppose if there are two friends are there and who are lover
and beloved of each other and both of them are in drown in the
love. If there will be comfortable or revoke from the lover,
which is not like by his friend so he will turn his head from him.
So there will be Waqfa (interval) for the lover and it is expedient
for the lover to ask for pardon immediately. If he will do like
this then his friend will be in the agreed condition and there will
not be available the following things.
1.Kudrat (ill-will)
2.Araz (decline)
If the lover will insist for his mistake and if he will make no
pardon then Araze (decline) will become Hijab (veil). And the
598
beloved will not show her face to him. On this occasion, Khaja
Sahib for giving an example by putting his sleeves on his holy
face and he said in this way Hijab (veil) will be like that. At that
time, it was expedient for the lover to do excuse and repentance.
And if he will not do then Hijab (veil) will turn into Tagaful
(separation). So first there will be Araz (decline) for not asking
pardon which will be turned into Hijab (decline) and then
gradually it will turn into Tagafal (separation). Still, if there will
be no asking for a pardon then there will be an increase of Salb
(seizure).It means the obedience and comfort of recitals etc., will
be taken away from him. Still, if he will not do repentance and
not do pardon then Salb (seizure) will become Salb Qadim (old
seizure). It means before more seizure which was their condition
of sincerity and comfort which was prevail with him and which
will be taken from him. So if still there will be no repentance
and pardon then old seizure will turn into satisfaction. Again in
his heart, there will be satisfied in this matter. And there will no
thinking. Then also, if there will not do pardon then there will be
created enmity. It means love will turn into enmity.
Excellence by giving the food to eat
On the Monday 25th Jamadal Awwal month in the year 707
Hegira, blessings of kissing of feet of the Sheikh available to
me. The discussion about giving food to eat was started and he
told with his holy tongue that giving food to eat with the person
is the best thing. In this connection he said “ The pious
personality Khaja Sheikh Rukunuddin’s son Khaja Ali was
captured in the battle of infidels and he brought in the court of
Chen Giz Khan and one disciple of his family was there and he
was surprised to see Khaja Ali in imprisoning and he began to
think of his release from there. And he thought how will discuss
599
this matter before Chen Giz Khan.? If he will say that he

belongs to the pious family then he will not accept it and he did
not know in this matter.? And if he says about his obedience and
worship, then there will no effect there. At last, upon so much
thinking he went to see Chen Giz Khan and he said there that his
father was a pious personality and used to give food for eating
with the people so he should be released. Chen Giz Khan said “
To whom he will give food for eating with the persons of his
family or persons from outside family persons.?”. He said to
him, “ Everybody will be given food for eating to his family
members, but he thinks that person human being, one who will
give food for eating with other people.” So he was given orders
to release him immediately and to give him a robe of honour and
asked pardon from him. Afterward, Khaja Sahib said, “ Giving
food for eating for persons is liked in all religions.”
Danger, intention and action
Afterward, the discussion about the danger, Azmiat
(intention) and the action was started and he said “ First, there is
a danger it means the thing which will enter into the heart and
afterward there will be intentions, it means there is an ambition
for this and it will be there in the heart. And afterward, come
action it means the determination will turn into action.” Upon
this he said, “ Unless the people will not do action,
accountability will not be the possible. But in the case of danger,
the special people will do their Muwkaza (accountability). It is a
must because in every matter we should approach towards
Allah. As danger, Azmiat (intention) and action are all made by
Allah. In every condition refuge of Allah should be searched.”
Afterward, he said, “ Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair used to
say that whichever idea came from his heart and from that idea
600
he was faced blame upon him, whether he would not do such

action.” So one time one true Darwish came to his shrine
building so he was given respect to him. At the time of the
breaking of the fast, he asked his daughter to bring water jug for
him. The girl was brought and put the water jug before the
Darwish with great respect and honour. Sheikh Abu Saeed liked
the style of the respect of the girl and there was came thought in
his heart that how will be such pious person whose this girl will
become his wife.? When this idea came into his heart then has
sent Hasan Mauzzan, who was serving in the shrine building to
the bazaar to find out what is happening in the city. He came
back from there and he said he heard such thing which his ears
could not able to bear it. The Sheikh told him “In bazaar one
person was saying to another person that Sheikh Abu Saeed
wants to marry his daughter.” So the Sheikh laugh for this
matter and he said so his accountability was done only for ideas
when came into his mind. When Khaja Sahib told this story and
at that time the compiler of this book told: “ From this story, it is
known that Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair was a great pious
personality of his time.” He said “ Indeed ” and he was praised
for me.
Then a discussion about firmness was started and he said “
If any person repented from wine drinking, then his friends will
be obstructed in this matter and every time and in the place
where they drink and have pleasure and will call him there and
try to give him drink and this thing will be possible then if there
will be interest in his heart and if his heart will be clearer there
from such attention than any of his friends will not obstruct
him.”
Afterward, he said “ The person to whom people will say,
601
sinner, then his heart will be inclined towards such bad deeds.
When he will repent from it and clear it from his heart and then
he will never remember it. So this firmness is a sign of
repentance. It means the person who repents, if his firm on his
repentance so he will not be called a sinner or false. But if he is
inclined toward sins, then we do oppose and will discuss orally
also about his sinfulness.”
The Fakirs of Hyderia group
Afterward, the discussion about a group of Hydra Fakir
(beggars) was started and he said “ He was a Turk and he was a
person of rapture and Darwish. When Chen Giz Khan leaves and
then infidels came towards India and he went towards his friends
and told them to flee as they will become overpowering.” When
he was asked “ How do you know in this matter.?.” He told “
They have brought one Darwish and they are themselves in his
custody of that Darwish. I face wrestling with him and he
defeated me. Now the reality of the situation is that they will be
overpowering, so, for this reason, you should flee from here.
Afterward, they hid in the cave and disappeared from the sight.
The same result was happening as per his saying.” Afterward, in
connection with this story the compiler of this book told the
bigger of a Hyderia group used to wear iron bracelets and collars
in their hands and heads or did they following for this.? He said
“Yes, but on them when there will be such condition will prevail
in which they will hold two hot irons with their hands, they
make some time iron collars and sometime bracelets and iron,
which will become like wax in their hands and now this group
will wear bracelets and collars and but now there is no such
condition in them.”
Afterward, the discussion started that this is the name of life
602
and that Darwish should be engaged in the invocation of Haq

(truth). After this, he said “ There were one Darwish and his
name was Amirak Gerami and one another Darwish went to visit
him due to his fondness. In that pious person, there was a
miracle to him that whatever he will see in the dream which will
be happening and its interpretation of the dream will be same as
per his dream. When there was overflowing of fondness for him
so he was started to visit him. During his journey, he was
hearing in his dream that Amirak Gerami was dying. Upon
waking up in the morning, he said, alas, he was covered so much
distance to visit him, which was gone waste and no purpose at
all and he was dying and now what to do in this matter. Go
ahead and reach his place and visit his grave there. Upon
reaching his place, he began asking about his grave. All of them
said he is alive and complete well and you are asking about his
grave. So that Darwish surprised that how his dream was
becoming false.? In short, he went to visit Amirak Gerami and
said Salam to him.” He: replied, his salam and said: “ Khaja
your dream was true in reality because he was used to be always
in the invocation of Allah and today he was engaged in some
other thing so, for this reason, there was being proclaimed thus
in the world that Amirak Gerami is dead.”
The discussion of Fasting and rules of Darwishi (mysticism)
On the Thursday of the 13th Jamadal-Awwal month in the
year 707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and
discussion about fasting was started. He told with his holy
tongue that “ There is a tradition that the last prophet of Allah
used to keep three months of fasting. But it is not known which
are those three months?” Afterwards, he said the rules are
followed.
603
1. One third of the period of the year should be observed in

keeping fasting, it means one should keep fasting for a period of
four months. Afterward, he said “ The rules of Darwish
(mysticism) are that fasting for a period of one-third of the year
is required and it means for a period of four months one should
keep fasting. Those people also keep fasting for a period of three
months and they observe fasting on tenth Muharram, 3rd Zil
Hajj, 10th Muharram and on various days observed fasting and
all of these fasting period will become one-third of the year.”
Upon this, he said “ This kind of fasting is established as
follows.”
1. Two days of fasting in one week on Monday and Thursday
and in this way also become a period of one-third of the year.
Afterward discussion about Saim Dahr it means fasting of
all days of the life was started. So he said the Prophet of Allah
said, “ Min Saim Al Daher Kul Sam Wal Aftar.” Its meaning
and interpretation are as follows.
‘Those who observed fasting of all days of his life and who did
not observe and not did breakfasting.’
And one more saying of the prophet of Allah is as follows.
“Min saim al-daher taziq aliah juhanam wa eqad yastain”. Its
“ Those who observed fasting all days of their life, then there
will be no effect of the fire of hell and will not affect of a
reverse of fortune on that Sheikh.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “ The person who observes
fasting always then he will get into the habit of it so, for this
reason, those who keep fasting always then there will be no
problem of fasting for them. So for this reason with this kind of
604
fasting, there will be available more reward in which there will

be difficult for the soul. This kind of fasting is called Dawoodi
fasting in which one day of fasting is observed and breaking of
fasting is done on the second day.”
Zuhr (afternoon) prayer
On Wednesday on 19th Jamadal-Awwal month in the year
707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. He said
“After the prayer of Zuhr prayer, to pray for ten rakat with five
salam and in those rakat recite last verses from Quran.”
The Al-Khizer Prayer
Afterward, he said “This prayer is called Salt Al-Khizer.
Actually, this prayer belongs to Prophet Khizer (A.S.) and the
person who perform this prayer always then he will meet
Prophet Khizer (A.S.).”
The fixation of verses and Sunan prayers
Afterward, he said “Established verses in Sunah (prayers
according to the practice of the prophet) prayers are as follows.”
In the morning prayer after verse ‘Fatah’ to recite verse
‘Alam Nashara’ and ‘Alarm Tarah’ and in Sunnah prayer of
Zuhr from Sura ‘Qul Ya-Huhal Kafirun’ to Sura ‘Qul Wallahu
Ahud’ and in second rakat ‘Ayat ul-Kursi’ and ‘Amna Rasul’
and in a Sunnah prayer of Asar (late afternoon) prayer to recite
from ‘Eza Zulzelat’ to Sura ‘al-Takasar’ and in Sunnah prayer of
Maghrib (sunset prayer) to recite verse ‘Kafirun’ and verse
‘Iqlas’ and in Esha (night prayer) Sunnah prayer to recite
‘Ayatul Kursi’,‘Amana Rasul’,‘Shahadu Allah, Qul Allahumma
Mulk ul-Mulk’ and in Witar prayer to recite ‘Enna Anzalna’,
verse ‘Kafirun’ and ‘Iqlas.”
Patience and death
605
On the Thursday of 27th Jamadal-Awwal month in the year

707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Shiekh. The
discussion about the patience was started, it means of the death
of relatives then we should observe patience. And then which is
a strange work really. And against those who observe weeping
and crying with the name of the deceased which is not legal. In
this connection, he said “ Hippocrates had 20 sons and all of
them were dying one day and it is probably due to falling down
of the roof on them. When he came to know this news then there
was no a little change in his nature. And in this connection.” The
Sheikh said: “When Majnu was informed that Laila was dying
and upon this he said it to his shame that he was loved such a
thing which is not eternal.”
Pious men and women
Afterward, he said “ On the night of Thursday and at that
time one women pledge with him and she is from Indiat, and she
was very virtuous women and about her Sheikh Fariduddin used
to say that this woman is a man and she was born in the shape of
a man.” Afterward, he said “ Darwish used to pray for them as
women are poor and so respect should be given to pious women
first and after that respect should be given to pious men. He used
to remember first pious women and then he will remind pious
men later.” Upon this he said “ When in the jungle tiger will
leave from his den and about him, nobody did not ask whether
you are a male or are a female.? And it is a necessary thing, that
whether man or woman, but they should become famous in
power and piety.” Afterward, he was reciting one couplet about
pious persons.
The prayer of Riqab and prayer of Owaise of Qarni
On the Tuesday on the 13th Rajab month in the year 707
606
Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. He asked me

“ Whether you have friendship and with whom.” I told him “
With your great friends and mentioned their names “ and he told
“To live in their service and he praises for me.”
Afterward, he said this is told by Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul
Khair that, “ It is the practice of Mashaiq (learned persons)
when they come to know about the condition of anybody then
they will ask about the person which he has relation with him
and from this they will able to know how he is?”
Then a discussion about the prayer of ‘Lailat Riqab’ was
started and he said “ It is plural of ‘Ragbat’ (inclination) and it
means on this night there are many things in it.” He said with his
holy tongue “ Which are available in it and one who perform it,
then he will not die in that, year.” Upon this, he said, “ One
person used to perform this prayer always and in the year he was
dying, he did not perform this prayer and on the same day he
was dying.”
Upon this he said “ About the prayer of hadrat Owaise of
Qarni and this prayer is performed on 3rd, 4th, and 5th of Rajab
month “ and afterward, he told “ It is also performed on 14th and
15th and as per another tradition, it is performed on 23rd, 24th
and 25th and upon this he said about its excellence that “ In it
there is too much grace.” In this connection, he told one story
that “ In the Mazi school there was one learned person Moulana
Zainuddin and who was a very strange person. When he will be
asked about any problem, then he will use to give a reply in a
satisfactory manner and he used to talk in debate with great
knowledge and when he was asked about his education, then he
said that he didn't a get any education and he did not become a
disciple of anybody. When he was grown up once he was
607
performing the prayer of Hadrat Owaise of Qarni and he prayed

“ Oh: My Lord, I was growing up and he did not learn anything
so give me knowledge. So Allah opened for me the door of
knowledge. Now I can give meaning and interpretation of any
difficult problem smoothly.”
The Prayer for long life
After this, he said “ There is a prayer which is performed on
the last days of the month of Rajab for longer life. In this
connection he told the story that “ This prayer used to be
performed by Sheikh Bedridden Ghaznavi and upon this he said
by Sheikh Ziauddin Panipati’s son Rashid Nizamuddin he was
heard that Sheikh Bedridden Ghaznavi was near at his death
time and in that year he could not perform this prayer and he
told now his age is finished so in the same year he was dead.”
Kaaba’s habitation and destruction

On Tuesday in the 30th Rajab month in the year 707 Hegira,
I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at that time
discussion about the habitation and the destruction of the Kaaba
was in progress. He told with his holy tongue that “It will be
happening two times and it will be demolished and the third
time it will be taken away into the sky and it will be happening
during the last days of the world and after this, the day of
resurrection will be happening. When there will be near the day
of resurrection the people will bring idols and put them in the
Kaaba. And also Assinam tribal women will dance before those
idols and at that time Kaaba will be taken away to the skies.”
The obedience and worship
On the Wednesday on the 15th of Shaban month in the year
608
707 Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and
he was calling me to come near to him and he told me “To be
engaged in obedience and in recitals and to study books of
Mashaiq (learned persons) and do not live never idle ”and he
was given me cap and robe.
The reading of the Quran and staying up throughout the
night in the mosque
On the Wednesday on the 25th Shaban month in the year
the discussion about the people who used to staying up
throughout the night in the mosques, for the reading of the
Quran, and make a halt there. I told him “If we stay in worship
in the house,” then he told “To read one part of the reading of
the Quran is better in the house than finishing of the whole
Quran in the mosque and upon this he told the story about one
person who used to stay and wake up in the night in the mosque
of Damascus for hoping to become the Sheikh of Islam so, for
this reason, he used to stay in the mosque in the night.” Khaja
Sahib wept and he said, “ First to burn that Sheikh of Islam and
afterward burns that shrine building and at last to burn that
personality.” Then he told “One story of a prophet who kept
fasting for a period of 25 years but nobody knows in this matter
and even that his family members did not know that he used to
keep fasting. When he will reach to the house he will pretend
that he was eating in the shop and if he will be in the shop then
he will use to be pretending that he was eating in the house.”
Then he said “We should keep intention correct and pious.
Because the mankind will watch the actions and Allah will look
at the intentions. When there will be intentional, then a small
deed will be enough.” In this connection, he told “One story of
609
the Damascus Central Mosque, which is having a huge trust so

the post of the trustee (mutawalli) of that mosque and which
position will be very strong like a second king there. Thus that if
the king will need money, then he will take a loan from the
trustee of the mosque. In short, one Derwish in greed of that
trustee post was started obedience and worship in that mosque.
As that person who well gets fame in the above matters will be
given the post of the trustee of the above mosque. That person
was engaging in the obedience there for longer periods, but
nobody took his name on their tongues.”
The good intention or bad
One night he ashamed for his worship of the show and he
made promises to Allah that he will do worship for the sake of
His willingness only and will not do worship for the greed and
for the post of the trustee of the mosque. So he began
worshiping Allah with good intention and sincerity and with
those days he will call out for the post of trustee of the mosque,
then he said “ He was leaving his intent in this matter. I have
desired very much for this job before, but I could not get it. But
now I am ignoring it so I got the job. In short, he was continuing
his worship for the sake of Allah and he did keep him away
from the post of the trustee.”
On the Friday of the 9th Ramadan month in the year 707
Hegira year, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Among
the persons present in the meeting place, he told this story “
There was one Derwish who was very pious and he was much
interested in the service, of Darwish persons. With him, I said
why he did not present in the service of Khaja Sahib ?. And he
said once he went to see the Sheikh, with the intention to pledge
to him and he was found cloth was spread there on which food
610
items were there and the lights of torches were there. My faith
was changed and then I went back from there.” When Khaja
Sahib heard this talk, then he addressed to the persons who were
present there and he said “ When they have seen here a piece of
cloth spread on ground for serving dishes on meals and torches
were there and afterward upon smiling, he said as there was no
wealth of pledge was not written in his fate so it was looking for
him like that.” The compiler of the book said, “ If there will be
a piece of cloth spread on the ground for serving dishes on meals
and torches then faith should not affect.” He said, “ Some of the
people’s faith will be affected due to small matter.”
The caring of the orders of the master (Peer)
After some time the discussion about the caring of the
orders of the master was started, then he said once Shaikh of
Islam Hazrat Sheikh Fariduddin was raising his hands in prayer
and he said “ Is there any person who can remember this.” I
inquired “ What’s his purpose in this matter that I should
remember it.? I said in his service “ If I will recite one time than
I can remember it.” He said, “ To recite.” When I read, then he
has corrected vowel points and asked me to read like that so I
read like that. Although I read as per like that in which there
were meanings in it. In short, that supplication was memorized
by me. I told him that the supplication was memorized by me.
He asked me to recite. I have read as per his order and as per
vowel points. When I left from there, then Maulana Bedridden
Ishaque told me that you have done well to read this Arabic as
the Sheikh had directed. I reply, “ If the founder of this branch
of knowledge and other who were experts in its principles were
being to come and tell me ‘ Arabic is not being read the way you
read it, I will still read it as per the Sheikh had directed.”
611
Moulana Bederuddin was pleased with this respect for the

Shaikh Sahib which have shown to me and he said “ Nobody
should be not be found in any of the rest of us. That you have
recited as per vowel points which were shown by the master.”
Upon this the discussion about the rules of service of the
master was started and he said “ He heard with holy tongue of
Shaikh of Islam Fariduddin that I have done one boldness in my
whole life with my master who was Qutub (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot at axis) of the world and well known as Sheikh
Bakhtiar Kaki and once from him I sought permission for
loneliness of retire forty days in to mystic seclusion in the
aloneness of the house and the Qutub Alam Hazrat Bakthair
Kaki said “ There is no need of it and from which there will be
fame and our masters did not do like that so for fame it should
not be done like that.” Upon this Khaja Sahib was becoming
silent. So in this matter, I was regretting it in my whole period of
life and done regret in this matter that why I have asked for this
matter and which was against his order. When this story was
finished, then Khaja Sahib told I have also done boldness
without intention in the service of my Sheikh Sahib that one day
the manuscript of Awaf was in his service and from which he
tells benefits as it was written with small hand writing so there
were some wrong words were there in so he used to stop reading
for a while. I have seen another manuscript with Sheikh
Najibuddin Mutawakil so I remembered it and I told him there is
a correct manuscript of the book with the Sheikh Najibuddin
Mutawakil. So this matter was felt by him unpleasant and after
some time, he told whether there is no ability in him to correct
the wrong manuscript and he repeated these words two times.
First, I did not think in this matter that these worlds are told by
him in my favour, so, then I stood and put my head without the
612
cover on the feet of the Sheikh and said no it was not never such
in his meaning in his heart. So I regret with him too much, but
there were affects of unpleasantness were found. When I stood
from there, then I could not understand what to do.? So I was in
too much grief for this reason so while weeping in varying
condition and with surprise went outside and went near one well
and want to put down myself there then I thought again that
suppose if will die there, then there will be blame on some other
person and in thinking I was reached in the jungle area and
Allah knows what my condition was there.? In short, I have a
friendship with the son of Sheikh Shabuddin and I have
informed him my condition in this matter and he went into the
presence of the Sheikh and he was explaining my condition well
to him and he sent Sheikh Mohammed to call me. When I
reached there and I put my head on the feet of the Sheikh so he
was becoming happy with me. On the next day, he called me
and treated me with too much favour and affection and he said
all was done by him for a perfection of my condition. On that
day I have heard with his tongue that the master is decorator of
the disciple and he was awarded me special dress.
The power for endeavours
On the Wednesday on 23rd of Ramadan month in the year
707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at
that time the discussion about the endeavours was started. He
said “ When the people will start obeying, then indeed it will
become unpleasant to the soul. When he will do with the truth,
he will get divine help from Allah. And then that work will
become easy. Everything will seem difficult in the beginning,
but then there will be available divine help from Allah. So that
work will become easy. Every work will become difficult in the
613
beginning and when the man will do, then it will become easy.
Upon this, he told this story that “ Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil
want to write book Jamia Hikayat many times, but due to poor
livelihood condition it was difficult. And the expenses of the
copyist and the volume will be paid with much difficulty. If
there will copyist then he will not get expenses for him and if
expenses will be available then paper and other things will not
be there. In short, one day, one copyist whose name Hameed
came to see him and Sheikh Sahib told him he has long desired
to write a book of Jama Hikayat and which was not done by
any way. Hameed asked, “Is something is available?”. He said, “
One Dirham is there.” Hameed purchase paper of one Dirham
and started copying work and still he was not able to write, then
he got money from a number of victories and the paper cost of
the second part and copying expenses were paid with that
amount. After this, there was reached amounts from victories
continuously and soon the book was becoming ready. There is a
result, from this is that when any work will start, then it will be
finished with the help of Allah and it will reach to its final
phase.”
Afterward, he said “The details about the qualities of
Sheikh Najiudddin Mutawakil that one day he was sitting in his
service and on that day I was on my holiday and I have asked to
pray for me so that I can become Qazi (judge) but he was
becoming silent so I asked him for the second time may he did
not hear but he still became silent. So I have asked him for the
third time, then he said do not become Qazi but do any other
work. So he may be so upset with this post and for this reason,
he did not pray for this post.”
The forgiveness and repentance
614
Afterward, the discussion about the forgiveness and

repentance was started and he said “ In the saying (Hadith) of
the prophet it is mentioned that if any man having one Dirham in
his wallet and when he wants to take it out, but it will not come
out from inside and so he thought that it was falling somewhere
so he will become unhappy indeed and Allah will give him
another Dirham. There is a Hadith (saying of the prophet of
Allah) about such person who has only Dirham with him. But if
he has many Dirhams with him and one Dirham will lose, then
he will not become unhappy in this matter. But if one who has
one Dirham only and which will be lost, then he will become
unhappy and Allah will give him one Dirham. The meaning of
this revelation was explained on that day. And on that day, he
was awarded me saintly dress and special slippers to me.”
To advise to hold one door
On the Wednesday on the 10th Muharram month in the year
at that time he was sitting on the roof of the house and there was
lying one ladder there. When I paid respect to him, then he said
to me to sit near that ladder. So I sat there. Due to the flow of the
wind the door was opening and closing there. I was holding the
window in my hand so that it could not open it. Upon seeing me
holding on it for the period of some time, he said: “ Why did
you not leave it.?” So I have paid, respect to him and said: “ I
am holding it.” So he smiled and said, “ This door you have
caught in your hand so hold it with strength.”
Afterward, he said “ To hold door only. Bahauddin
Zikeraia used to say all doors should not belong to all persons
and he should hold one door only and he should hold it with
strength.”
615
After this, he said “One mad person was standing at the door
at the morning time. When the door was opened, then the people
come out from there and some persons went to the right side and
some others went towards the left side and some persons
followed the straight way. Upon seeing this, the mad person told
“ They are following problem and opposite way so they could
not able to reach anywhere. If all of them follow the only one
way, then they can reach to their destination indeed.”
The benefits of eating less
After some time, he said “ About eating less and its benefits
and the defects of more eating, so the discussion was started. He
said “ When once the stomach is full then one should not eat
more. But it is legal for two persons and one among is that
person in whose house guest is there so for them, he can eat with
them some more food and the other person one who keeping
fasting and he thinks that at the time of pre-dawn meal he could
not get anything. And if then if he can eat more food which is
legal.”
The supplication of Masura to be free from calamity
Afterward, the discussion about the supplication of Masura
was started and he said “ If any person is facing any grief and
which is not able to cure-able in any way, then on Friday from
time of the Aser (late afternoon) prayer till the sunset time he
should not do any work and he should recite only three names
which are as follows.”
1. Ya Allah
2. Ya Rahaman
3. Ya Raheem
So for the reason of the above reciting he will be indeed free
from that calamity.
616
On the Saturday 28th Shawwal month in the year 707

Hegira, the compiler of the book was sanctified to touch the feet
of the Sheikh and he told him about the compilation of his
advises and discourses in the book. At that time was good and
there was a comfort in the loneliness. I paid respect and asked
his permission to say something. “ He said, “ Say.” I told him a
period of one year was passed away in which he is present in his
presence and used to hear whatever benefits, whether there are
advice and discourses or stories of the learned persons for the
incitement and obedience. All of these instructions he was
written so that I will adopt it in my life and so that it should
become as my constitution of the circumstance and code of
action and all of these advises and discourses which I have
recorded as per my knowledge because I was heard with your
holy tongue number of times in his assemblies which are about
the sayings of the learned persons and instructions and
insinuations which are related about Mysticism. So we should
read those advises. So there is no collection for me than his
sayings which are granting of life and better for me. For this
whatever I have heard of your tongue all were recorded by me.
Till now I did not disclose and I was waiting for your standing
orders in this matter.” When Khaja Sahib heard my request, then
he said “ When he became the disciple of Sheikh Fariduddin,
then I was determined that whatever I will hear with his tongue
which I will record. The first day when I was sanctified the feet
of the Sheikh and at that time I heard one couplet of Persian
poetry and its meaning and interpretation is as follows.”
“Due to the fear of the separation the heart was becoming like
grilled mince due to burn and for the reason of overflow of
fondness so there is a disturbance in the life.”
617
Afterward, I want to show my sanctity of touching, of feet of

the Sheikh in his service. But due to his fear so I told only this
that there is overpowering over him to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. When Sheikh Sahib was seen some fear in me then he
told that on every new person who will enter there will be fear
of him. In short on that day the Sheikh told whatever he was
hearing from his Sheikh he was recorded. When I came back to
the residence and kept the book closed there. Afterward,
whatever he used here to hear from the Sheikh, then he was
recording his sayings. At last, I have informed in this matter to
the Sheikh. Whenever he used to say his story or revelation, then
he will use to ask whether I am present or not.? Even though if I
will be absent, then he will ask whether I am present or not
there.? When I presented after my absence, then at that time he
used to repeat the benefits which he used to say in my absence.
When I will come back there, then he will say again the
benefits.”
Afterward Khaja Sahib told “ He was seen one miracle that
in those days one person was giving him white papers from
which I have made one book on which I have recorded the
benefits told by the Sheikh on this I was writing “Subhan Allah
Wal Hamadulilah Wale HoLa Allah Wo Akbar WA la Qquwata
Illbilla Aliulazim.” Under which I was began writing the
benefits told by the Shaikh. Till now I have that collection of the
book. Afterward, he said to the compiler of the book to bring
papers and I said “ Yes” I brought the papers in his service. He
told me to show the papers, then I showed him six papers and he
read the papers and praised for me that I have written well. At
one or two places I kept the pages blank so he asked why he was
left there blank spaces.? So I told him that I could not remember
the remaining words at those places so he was completed those
618
words and such was his kindness as well as concern and help.”
Allah's mercy and excellence
from that calamity.
619

benefits.”
620
Khaja Sahib who is followed by the right path and
conquered the hearts of the people and he is the mercy of the
world and the king of the poor people, the helpers of needy
persons and he is well known as Sheikh Nizamuddin Aulia, who
is the leader of the Islamic law (Shariah) and a master of
guidance and as well as a master of religion. And Allah, may
give him a long life so that due to his personality and teachings
all Muslims seek the favour of guidance from him. From the
belief of latent and from the treasure of preaching and his jewels
of the invisible and doubtless flowers of guidance are collected
in this book. Whatever I was hearing from with his holy tongue
and which has been recorded in the same style of his wording or
its meaning has been added in this book and in some writings
are recorded as per my low level of knowledge. As due to the
collection of speeches there will be a benefit to sympathetic
persons so, for this reason, its book’s name is given as Fawaid
al-Fawad.
The discussion about Chast (mid-morning supererogatory)
prayer and six prayers after evening prayer
On the Sunday of the 3rd Shaban month in the year 707
Hijira, this slave and sinner and well wisher Hasan Sajzi who is
a collector of the speeches of the king of the sky and the owner
of the lands and the great Sheikh and to whom I was able to kiss
621
the feet of the king of higher status of the sky and the kingdom
and at that time in the peerless eyes of Qutub (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot) and of sun of the conscience I was getting
respect and got from him the four end Turkey cap.
On that day, he said, “ In the established prayers and prayer
of Chast (mid-morning supererogatory prayer) and prayer of six
rakat after evening prayer and fasting on the days of Baiz (13,
14 and 15 dates of a lunar month) days to be observed as
compulsory.”
The Sheikh told with his holy tongue “ The person who
repents is equal with pious (Mutaqi) persons. Mutaqi is such
person who did not commit any sin throughout his life and who
did not drink liquor in his whole life. The penitent is such a
person who had done sin and after that, he was repenting in this
matter.”
Afterward, he said “ As per the Hadith (sayings of the prophet
of Allah) the above two persons are equal. Hadith says “Altaib
Min Zombie Kaman la-Zambia Lahu” and its meaning and
interpretation is that the person of the penitent is like that person
who did not commit any sin.”
Afterward, he said “That person, it means penitent who did
sins and done disobedience and who has left disobedience and
when he will do repentance and follow obedience so, then there
will be pleasure in his obedience, so it is possible that one
particle of obedience will burn his field of the disobedience.”
After this for some time the discussion about that some pious
persons who used to keep themselves in hiding were started and
but Allah will manifest them. He said “ Khaja Abul Hasan Noori
Noor Allah used to pray in his anthology of hymns “ Elahi
Estonia biladak bin ebadak ” “Oh: Allah keeps his secret in his
622
city in between the persons.” He heard the divine call “ Ya Aba

Hasan al-Haq la yaster Shai.” It means “ Oh: Abul Hasan
nothing will hide the reality and the reality will never allow you
to live in hiding.” Then he told one story that in Nagore area one
pious person Hameeduddin was there and he was asked question
that “ Some Mashaiq (learned persons) when they used to live in
the world and till then they were well known in the world and
but when they leave from the world then nobody will call their
names and some of them will become famous upon their death.”
He said, “ Those who will try for fame in the world, then upon
their death their names and fame will be no more in the world
and those who will keep themselves hidden then they will
become famous in the world after their deaths.”
After this, there was the discussion about great learned
persons started and he said “ Their status will be more than
Abdals (an order of saints). With his holy tongue, he said “ One
person visited the shrine building of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani
and he found one person lying on the door and that person was
in very bad condition and he was without his feet. That person
requested the Shiekh to pray for him. He said “That person was
done disrespect.” So he was asked “ What disrespect he was
done?.” He said “ He is among Abdals (an order of saints) and
yesterday this person and two other of his friends were flying in
the air and when they reach near our shrine building, then one of
his friends deflected from the shrine and due to respect he was
flying from the right side and another person was flown from the
left side, but he was flown from over our shrine building by
doing disrespect and for this reason, he was falling down there. ”
On this occasion, he said “One time when Khaja Junaid of
Baghdad was sitting is shrine building and at that time four
623
persons of invisible came over there. They addressed one person

among them “Where you will perform Eid (festival) prayer in
the morning?” and he said, “ In Makkah.” And after that he
asked the second person “ Where he will perform the Eid prayer
in the morning? ” And he replied “ In Madina ” and he asked
with the third person then he said “ In the Dome of rock” and he
asked the fourth person and he said “ In Baghdad along with
Khaja Sahib.” About fourth person he said as follows.
“Ante Azadham WA-ahem WA Afzlaham” and it means that “
He is great Zahid (ascetic), learned person and distinguished
among all of them.”
After some time there was a discussion about purification
was started, then he told with his holy tongue that “ The
perfection of the man depends upon four things as follows.
1. Eating less
2. Talking less
3. Contact less with the people
4. Sleeping less
Then the discussion about ecstasy and Ijtihad (interpretation
of Islamic law) was started so he was reciting two couplets of
Persian poetry and its meaning is that “ Being even though there
is guidance from Allah, but a man should follow Ijtihad so that
on the day judgment the record of the deeds will be not found in
blackness.”
Different issues
On Friday on 8th Shaban month in the year 707 Hegira after
the prayer, I was blessed to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. There
was one my slave and whose name was Maleh and I have freed
him before the Sheikh for the devotion purpose. And he prayed
in his favour, so at that time that slave put his head on the feet of
624
the Sheikh and he was benefitted of the pledge. During that

time, Khaja Saheb said “ In this way there is no difference
between master and slave. One who will come into the world of
love truly, then his work will be done for him.”
Then he said “ In Ghazni there was used to live one master
and who has one slave and his name was Zerak and who was
very true and pious person. When the last time of the master was
near then he asked the disciples who will be the successor after
him and all of them said Zerak. That Peer (master) had four sons
their names are as follows.
1.Eqtiar
2.Ajlad
3.Ahba
4.Ajala
Zirak told the master (Peer) “ Oh: Sheikh your sons will not
allow him to become your successor after you.? And sure there
will be enmity of them with me”. So Peer told him “ To sit with
satisfaction. If they will fight with you then I will help you from
their mischief.” So the Peer was passed away from the world,
then Zirak was become the successor of that Peer. So the sons of
the master started fighting with Zirak that being a slave of our
father you have become the successor of our father. When the
issue was surpassed its limit, then Zerak visited the mausoleum
of the Sheikh and he said “ Oh: my master you have said if your
sons will fight with me then you said you will remove evil from
him. Now they want to do harm to me. So you have to fulfill
your promise in this matter and upon saying this, he left from
there.”
In those days, the infidels attacked Ghazni city so for this
reason the people left for the city to fight with them. Those four
625
sons were also among with those people and they were dying in
the fighting. So now the respectful position was given to Zirak
without any difficulty. That person, Maleh was pledging with
the Sheikh so Sheikh told him to perform two rakat so he asked
him how to make the intention of two rakat of prayer. He said, “
As it comprises negation of all deities save Allah.”
To become popular among general, persons
On the date 15th of Shaban month in the year 707 Hijira
after the prayer the honour of kissing of the feet of the Sheikh
was available to me. One mendicant came over and he sat there
and went away. Khaja Sahib said for this reason for these people
were able to get the chance of presence in the service of Sheikh
Bahauddin Zakaria Multani. But in the presence of Sheikh of
Islam Khaja Fariduddin all kinds of Darwesh persons and others,
they were used to present in his service. He said among general,
persons there are available some special persons. In this
connection, he told one story that “ Sheikh Bahauddin used to
travel very much. One time he went in one group of mendicants
and he sat in between them. The light was gathered there. When
thinking, well carefully in this matter, then he was able to know
that from one among them the light is coming out there. So he
went to him and asked with him silently what he used to do with
them.?” He replied, “ You should able to know that there are
special persons among general persons”. In this connection, he
told one story “ One time one pious person asked about one
group of persons in this matter. And see there that one person
used to finish one Quran in two rakat of prayers. So that pious
was surprised in this matter. He said in his heart that in this
group that person live and this kind of worship is really
surprising. In this work, then how he will remain straight.? So
626
when he was gone ahead of them and he came back in those

people after a period ten years and he finds that person in the
same position. Then he said, “Now he was able to know really
that in the general, persons there will be available special
persons.”
The Discussion about fasting on Baize days (13th, 14th and
15th) and the prayer of Awabin (supererogatory prayer)
On Friday 22nd Shaban month in the year 707 Hijira after
the prayer, the honour of kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was
available to me. He was asked “ In between Eisha prayer do you
perform prayer of six prayers which you have asked me.? “ Yes
”, I said. After that, he was asked about fasting on Biaz days “
Whether you keep it.”? “Yes,” I said. Then he was asked about
Chast (supererogatory) prayer. Then I said, “Yes”. Then he told
about four rakat of prayer, of the facility. On that day, the
discussion was ended on this facility.
On Friday of the 5th Ramazan month in the year 707
Hijira before prayer, I obtained the benefit of kissing the
master’s feet. He was asked, “ What is the reason of the usual
practice of coming before prayer.” I said that “ As Maulana
Zahiruddin used to lead Tarawih (special night prayers in
Ramazan month) prayer and in which he is reciting 3 parts of
Quran daily in the prayer. So my desire for prayer behind him
for 10 days continuously so that I can hear the complete Quran
and get the reward of the Quran. If permission will be given,
then I will come back after Friday prayer so that I can perform
Tarawih prayer. ” He said “ Good”.
After that, he told this story relating to this occasion “ One
night Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria was addressed to the audience
at the meeting who were present there and asked whether the
627
persons among them are ready to perform two rakat (one set of
standing genuflexion and prostration in prayers) of prayer
afterward and in every rakat there will be finished one Quran.
When from the meeting nobody was ready, then he himself
became the leader and started praying and in the first rakat he
was finished reciting of one Quran and four parts of it and in the
second Rakat he was recited only verse Iqlas and finished the
prayer.”
Then, he said one more event that Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria
used to say “ Recital and prayers, etc., whatever he was heard
but from those things one thing I could not able to do. That is, I
heard that one pious person used to read one complete Quran
from morning to the time of the sun rising. In this, I have tried
my best, but I could not able to do this.”
He said one more event relating to the occasion “ One time
Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori was circumambulating of Kaaba in
Makkah and he was seeing one person there and he was
following him and doing circumambulating behind him and he
used to put his step where he will find the feet of that person.
When that person comes to know this then he told that “ Why he
is following him in the manifest and if he wants to follow then
he should follow him in the innermost.” Qazi Saheb asked him “
What he will do?. He said, “ He used to complete daily 700
times of recitation of Quran.” So he was surprised in this matter.
So he thought it may pass meaning of the Quran in his heart and
he was thinking it as reading. But that person turns towards him
and told him “ He is reading the book word by word and not by
thinking it.” When Khaja Sahib ended this story, then Aizuddin
Ali Shah, who was his special disciple questioned him, “ Is it
that miracle.?.” He said, “ Yes, the thing which did not come
628
into the wisdom and that thing is done only by a miracle.”

After that, the discussion about learning persons was
commenced, and “ He said Sheikh Abul Khair used to say that
whatever which was reached to him from the prophet of Allah
about prayer and which he is all doing all such things. Even he
was coming to know that once the prophet of Allah who was
performing the prayer of the invert. So I went there and tied a
rope to my feet and hang myself in the well by upside down and
in this way I performed prayer. When this event was finished,
then he was addressed me that the person who will reach on any
position and which is possible in his best form of action. The
grace of Allah will be available there, but there should be
required endeavours from our side and which is the most
necessary thing in this matter.”
The leaving of Tajrid (solitude)
On Friday of the fifth Shawwal month in the year 707
Hijira`, I was blessed with the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh
was available to me and at that time the discussion about leaving
of the solitude was started and he said one Dervish who was
poor and an indigent was walking while holding his stomach due
to starvation. Khaja Mohammed Patwa who is my friend who
put before him one Dang (coin) and he said him, “ He ate husk
today to full of my stomach,so he is not in need of any Dang.
So I he did not in need of that Dang.” Afterward, Khaja Sahib
was coming to know his condition of starvation and he was
surprised in this matter. He said “ Oh: what is his power of
content and patient?.”
In this situation, he said, “ About content and be tempted
from other than Allah and in this connection he said once one
pious person Sheikh Ali when he was sewing his saintly dress
629
and his feet were stretched there and he was putting the dress on
them and doing stitching work and during that time he was told
that caliph of place is coming there but he did not care in this
matter and he was sitting there in his working condition and he
said to let him come there. The caliph came there and said salam
to him and he sat there and Sheikh replied his salam. The guard,
who was with the caliph told Darwish to fold his foot, but
Sheikh did not care a little in this matter. So the guard told two,
three times. So the caliph was returning back from there and at
that time Sheikh caught one hand of the guard and one hand of
the caliph and told them “ I have folded my hands, so which is
legal for me so if my foot will not be folded and it means I do
not have greedy from you and I do not take anything from you
so as a matter of fact I have folded my hands. So for this reason,
if do not stretch my foot, then there is no harm in this matter.”
Then a discussion about the rule of mysticism was started
and he said “ One person came in the presence of Sheikh Ajal
Shirazi and he became his disciple and he was waiting for an
instruction from him that he will show him about prayer or
recital. But Khaja Sahib told him ‘” Do, not like such thing for
others which you did not think such thing for yourself and did
like for yourself any desire of such thing for yourself and which
you desire such thing from others.” After long time he was
presented in the presence of his Sheikh and he told him “ He
was becoming his disciple on the such and such day and he was
desired to get an instruction from you about prayers and recital
but you have not instructed me in this matter. And now he was
desirous of the things from you. Khaja Sahib told him, “ On that
day I told you do not like such thing for yourself which you did
not like the same thing for others and desire for yourself the
same thing which expects from others. But you have not
630
remembered the first lesson so how I will give you another

lesson for you.?”
Afterward, he told this event that one pious person used to
say that prayer, fasting, recitals, recitation are just like are in a
place of spices. But the real thing is meat in the cauldron, but
when there will no meat, then what is the use of spices there.?
When he was asked, he used to tell this number of times, but he
did not explain in this matter. ? Then he said “ Meat is like
leaving the world and that prayer, fasting, recitals, glorification
are like spices. That man should leave the world and do not have
a relation with anything. Whether in its prayer and fasting, etc.
are there find or not and there should be no fear in it. But when
there will friendship of the world in the heart, then there will not
benefit at all for recital and recitation.”
After this Khaja Sahib with his holy tongue said “ If we put
ghee, chilies, spices in the cauldron and only while pouring
water into it and cooked stew and then it is called ‘Shurba Hai
Zur’ it means it is called false stew. Because real stew is that
which is prepared with the meat, whether there is available
spices are not in it.”
Afterward the discussion about leaving of the friendship of
the world was started with his holy tongue. He said, “ The
meaning of leaving of the world is not that the man should be in
naked condition and sit in a loincloth, but the meaning of
leaving the world is that to wear dresses and eat food, but
whatever he will get then he should not incline to it and do not
have to keep his heart in it.”
The rules of Tasawuf (mysticism)
631
On the Wednesday in the month of Shawwal in the year 707

Hegira, gotten the blessing of the kissing of the feet of the
Sheikh available to me and at that time the discussion about
rules of Taswauf (mysticism) and sayings of Mashaiq (learned)
persons and about their details and reformation were started. He
was told with his holy tongue “ Sheikh Jamaluddin Bustami was
well known about the customs and manners of the Sheikh of
Islam Dasan. And thus that the jug which he used and it has four
ends so that it can behold from four sides. There was a pious
person and who told him “This jug is called Luqmani jug.” So
Sheikh Jamaluddin asked him “Why it is so.?” And he said
“There was one pious person Sheikh Luqman Kharafsi and
whose qualities are uncountable and once his Friday prayer or
any Islamic work was left, then all leaders of the city came to
visit him for his accountability in this matter and he was told
that all leaders of the city have come there to have discussed
with him.” The Sheikh asked “Whether they are coming to see
him by their conveniences or coming on foot.? ” And he was
informed that they are coming of conveniences. At that time, he
was sitting on the wall and he told wall to walk with the order of
Allah and immediately the wall started moving. The purpose in
it was that once Sheikh Luqman asked his disciple to bring
water jug for him and he brought it and given to him, but there
was no handle on it to hold it. So Sheikh told the jug should be
like that it should have some handles to hold the jug. So the
disciple prepared one handle for the jug and was given to the
Sheikh and he told him you are holding its end so where he
should hold it.? Then disciple was made two ends water jug and
he was given the jug to the Sheikh by holding one end and the
other end was before the Sheikh. Then Sheikh told him two ends
are before your side so how he can hold the water jug so go and
632
prepared the jug with three ends. The disciple made water jug of
three ends and held the two ends in his hand and third he kept
toward his chest so Sheikh smiled and told him go and make
four ends and he brought four ends water jug. So for this reason,
this kind of water jug is called Luqmani water jug.
The discussion in the presence of the leader (Imam) in
prayer
On Friday 26th Shawwal month in the year 707 Hegira, I
was blessed of kissing of the feet of the Sheikh and at that time
discussion about prayer, the leader (Imam) and followers
(prayers) was in progress. He told “The state of presence is that
whatever follower in prayer read in the prayers, then he should
think about its meaning in his heart. Afterward, he said Sheikh
Bahauddin Zakaria has one of his disciples and whose name was
Hasan Afghan and who was a person of Vilayat (saintliness) and
a very pious person. So Sheikh Bahauddin used to say “ If on the
day of judgment he will be asked by Allah what he was brought
there?.Then I will reply that I brought Hasan Afghan from the
world.” Once this Hasan Afghan was passing from the lane and
was entered in the mosque and Muazzin (one who shouts the
call to prayer) announced the prayer call and he also called
Takbir (announce initiation of congregational prayers) for the
prayer and there he was become an Imam (leader) in the mosque
and others were became his followers and Khaja Hasan was
follow him. When people left of the mosque after performing
the prayer so he asked with Imam (leader) silently that “When
you have started your prayer, then he was with him and you
have reached in Delhi from here you have purchased slaves from
there and reached back here. I am following you and wandering
behind you here and there and after this, you took your slaves
633
and went to Khurasan. At last say, yourself is this called

prayer.?”
Afterward, he was explaining about piousness he told “
Once he went to one village and where one mosque was built
and Khaja Hasan went to that village and he told the people to
keep the arch in another direction because Qibla (direction in
which Muslims turn in prayer) is in that direction.” There was
one wise person was there in that village and who fight with him
in this matter and that person told him that Qibla is in another
direction. At last, after some time fighting with the wise person,
Khaja Hasan told him to see in the direction which he is
showing. When that the wise person saw in that direction
carefully and he has shown him holy Kaaba. Afterward, he told
about the condition of that person is that he is an un-educated
person. The people used to bring before him tablet or paper on
which they will write of some prose, poetry, Arabic and Persian
lines and in those lines there will be written one line of the
Quran then people asked him to find the line of the Quran.? And
which he used to find that line of the Quran. The people used to
ask him you are an un-educated person then how he will
distinguish in this matter. He used to say in those lines and in the
line of the Quran, he will find the light of religion and which is
not found in other lines.”
Then a discussion about engrossment in prayer was started
so he was told with his holy tongue “ In Delhi one Khaja Karim
used to live there before you and at last when he left the world
and he became a great pious person. He used to say that many
times that till his grave will be available in Delhi then no infidel
got control of it.”
Attention in the prayer
634
He said about attention at the prayer time. One day he was

busy in the Maghrib (sunset) prayer at the gate of Kamal. And at
that time, there was a disturbance of people of Mewat. Nobody
could not visit that gate untimely there. Khaja Sahib was busy in
the prayer and his friends were standing at the door and were
calling him from there to come back in the city. There was
overpowering of the doorkeepers. In short, when Khaja Sahib
has finished his prayer and he came back from there. So he
asked, “ Whether he was heard any call?”. And he said “ No.”
Then he was told, “ It was a matter of surprise that we have
made so many loud and cry, but you have not heard in this
matter.” He said, “ It is surprising for such person who is busy in
the prayer and who will hear loud and cry of another person.”
Afterward, he said, “ From the time when Khaja Karimullah
turned to Allah, then throughout his life he did not touch
Dirhams and Dinars.”
The leaving of the world
Afterward, Khaja Sahib told about leaving of the world and
its luxuries, and he said: “ So one should keep high courage in
this matter and should not involve in the filth of the world and
should leave greed and lust.”
On 5th Zeqad month in the year 707 Hegira, I was blessed
to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. He asked me “ You expected to
come on Friday then why did, he came today.” I said, “ Felicity
showed me this way and at the time of felicity this wealth is
available.” He said, “ It is good and which is done by an
invisible source so it will be good.”
The effect of the company
Afterward, the discussion about the effect of the company
635
was started and he said: “There is a heavy effect on the

company.” After this, he said “ About a leave of a world by high
exaggeration that when one lowly thing is left then we will
surely get on the gentle thing. ”
The eating in the supererogatory fasting
On the Tuesday of the tenth Ziqad month in the year 707
Hegira, I was blessed to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. At the
meeting place, Moulana Wajihuddin Paheli, Moulana
Hasanuddin Haji and his friend Moulana Tajuddin, Moulana
Jalaluddin and other persons were present at the meeting place.
Then food was brought. He said, “ Those who are not keeping
fast should also eat the food.” In among them most of the people
were not kept fasting on days of Baiz (13, 14 and 15 dates of a
lunar month) but they all were given food.
Afterward, he said “ When the dear persons will come there,
then they should be provided food and should not be asked
whether they have kept fasting or not.? Because if he did not
keep fast, then he will eat the food. There is the wisdom of not
asking is that if he will say that he was kept fasting, then the
show will be found with him. If he will keep fasting, then he is
true and thorough. Then he will say that he was keeping fast and
then for his sincerity will be written in the book of deeds clearly.
If he will say he is not keeping fast, then he will become a liar
and in this case, there will disrespect of the questioning person
will be done.”
On the Saturday 21 Zequad month in the year 707 Hegira
year, the blessing of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was
available to me. The discussion about the blessing of feet of
pious persons was started and he said: “ The position which is
customary and due to the felicity of the right feet of the pious
636
persons just like the central mosque of Delhi.” Afterward, he

said, “ When there will be a step of a pious person and which
will be put in any place and that place will become a place of
comfort.” During this discussion he said “ He was heard from
Mahmud Kabir that he used to say that he was seen one pious
person in the morning time who is walking on the gilded parapet
in the central mosque of Delhi, which is on the window of the
arch and he was so fast like a bird and I was watching him from
a distance. At the dawn time, he was getting down from parapet
so I proceeded further and said salam to him. He asked me
“Whether he was seen him.” So I said, “ Yes.” So he said “ Not
to disclose this matter to anybody.” During this discussion, I
asked “ Many of the pious persons used to keep their conditions
in secret and what is reason in this matter.? “ He said “ If they
disclosed a secret, then they will deprive in this matter and will
not eligible for the secret. When if somebody will be told secret
matter to any person and if he will disclose secrets to others,
then secret matters should not be disclosed to such persons.” I
said, “ What is the matter that Khaja Abu Saeed Abul Khair told
us many times invisible matters.” He said “ At that time pious
persons when there will time of being under overpowering of
fondness and due to intoxication they used to disclose these
matters. But those who are perfect persons did not disclose any
secret matter.”
After that he said “ The courage should be great and which
should be suitable for secrets. The people of this type belong to
the people of sahu (sobriety).” I asked him “ Whether the status
of persons of intoxication or people sahu (sobriety) whichever is
greater.? He said “ The people of sahu are having more status. ”
The discussion about acceptance of prayer
637
On the Wednesday of the 14th Zilhaj month in the in the year

707 Hegira, I was blessed to kiss the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about acceptance of the prayer was started. He said
with his holy tongue that “ The obedience and recitals which is
accepted from the person of grace and due to its increase and
for which there will be comfort available in this matter.”
Afterward, he said “ There are some recitals are there which
I made for me as compulsory and some recitals I have got from
my master. There will be very much comfortable in performing
these two kinds of recitals and in which there is a difference
between earth and the sky.”
Afterward, the discussion about leaving off the power was
started and it is meant by the power we should not perform any
work. With his holy tongue, he said: “ It is better to become
subject other than becoming of the ruler.”
Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair left the
shrine building on Friday then he asked with his disciples the
way which goes to the central mosque? And how to proceed
there?.” From the audience, one person said “ This way goes. He
asked him you have gone there so many times for performing
the Friday prayer and you do not know the way.” He said, “ He
knew, but he asked because he wants to become the subject of
another person.” Afterward, he was discussed leaving the native
place and the love of the place.
The discussion of the obedience
On the Sunday of the 3rd Muharram month in the year 707
Hegira, the blessing to kiss the feet of the Sheikh was available
to me. The discussion about obedience was started and he said “
Obedience is compulsory and causative. The compulsory is such
thing from which there will be a benefit which will reach to the
638
personality of that person and these are prayer, fasting, recital

and glorification. And belong the causative which will give
benefits to others. Agreement and kindness and favour for the
unrelated person, etc., are called causative and its rewards are
very much. In the compulsory obedience, there is required
manners which are must so that it must be accepted. But
causative worship which is done in any way and which will be
accepted and its reward will be available.”
The Velayat (saintliness)
On the Thursday of the seventh Muharram month in the year
707 Hegira, the blessing of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh
was available to me. At that time, the discussion about Vilayat
was started. He said Vilayat and Velayat both are available in
the Sheikh Sahib. The Vilayat is that with which master should
make his disciples as pious and teach them the rules of Tariqat
(mystic way of life) and what is there in between him and in the
creatures and it is called Velayat. But whatever is there with him
and in between the creator and this is called Vilayat (saintliness)
and this is a special love. And when the Sheikh will leave the
world then he should not take Vilayat with him. In this
connection, he said one event that there was one pious person
and who sent his disciple to another pious person and he asked
him what was happening in the last night.? He has sent message
to him that “ Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair was died in the last
month.” Then that pious person was asked through his disciples,
“ To whom Vilayat (saintliness) was given on that night?” And
he said, “ He did not know and whatever I know in this matter, I
told him.” Afterwards, it was known that that Vilayat
(saintliness) was given to Shams Arifin. Then he came to the
door of Shams Arifin, then he told him before starting of a
639
discussion that “ There are many of Shams Arifin of Allah are

there. So it is not known which Shams Arifin was given
Vilayat.” After this, he told another story about Sheikh
Najibuddin Mutwakil who was the brother of Sheikh Fariduddin
Ganj Shaker that when he went to see the teacher to get an
education from him so the teacher asked him “Are you
Najibuddin Mutawakil?” He said “ Yes.” I am Najibuddin
Mutakal and who will be Mutawakil (resigned to the will of
God)?. Afterward, the teacher told him “ Are you the brother of
the Sheikh of Islam Fariduddin.? “He said “Yes in manifest he is
but it is not known in innermost he is or not.?”
After some time the discussion about the favour of people of
grace was started and those people who care about the right of
the service. He said one Khaja Sahib of grace and a man of
courage who was living and some time he used to send some
money to Qazi Ain al-Qazat for an account of his personal
expenses. One time Qazi Sahib asked something from another
person for his personalized expenses. When that Khaja Sahib
was heard for that matter so he was becoming angry and he was
shown his anger on Qazi Sahib that why he was showing grace
to another person. ? And why this wealth he will leave to the
fate of others.? The Qazi wrote “ Do not be sad and left this
felicity for others so that other persons can get this wealth. You
should not become such person who used to say “ Oh: My Lord,
You are kind to himself at this time and do not be kind to others
and so you don't become like one among others who recited the
following Persian couplet.”
“ Oh, Gardner if the falcon will attack the garden, then you and I
will become an idol together and will fly by holding high.”
Cap of Sheikh Usman Sewastani
640
On that day, my nephew (author of this book) was

becoming his disciple and on that day, his brother Shamsuddin
was shaving his head. And on that day, Sheikh Jamal Duhata
also became his disciple. And on that day Moulana Burhanuddin
Gharib also shaved his head and Sheikh Usman Sewastani
requested for cap and he got it and Shamsuddin got Qirqa
(saintly dress). On that day, there was available too much rest.
On that day Sheikh Sahib told story of Sheikh Bedridden
Ghaznavi that “ When he used to visit in the presence of Sheikh
Sahib and then he used to put down his head.”
The invisible people
On the Wednesday on 6th Jamadal- Awwal month in the
year 707 Hegira year, I came from the cantonment of
Khizerabad and was blessed of kissing the feet of Sheikh Sahib.
The discussion about the persons of the invisible was in progress
that if a person has high courage as well as the ability and
personality of obedience and endeavour then they take away
such person with them. During this discussion he said one
person was called Nasir, who used to live in Badayun village
and from him I have heard that and who used to say “ His father
was a man of reality and he was received calls and one night so
he went outside and from inside, he was hearing voices of only
salam alaikum and he was also heard from my father who was
saying that he want to wish bye to the sons and the members of
his house and they said there is no time. Afterward, we do not
know where those people and my father went away.”
In this connection, he told one story of Sheikh Shabuddin
Saharwardi who wrote in his book. Which he wrote that in our
time one person was there and his name is Qurani and in his
house the persons of invisible used to gather there. So at the
641
time of prayer, these creatures used to stand in line and one

person who used to lead the prayer and the recitation is heard in
a loud voice and all such things will be there but no person is not
seen there but Qurani only can see them. Sheikh Suhabuddin
said that once one vertebra was sent to me from one person
among invisible persons through Qurani and that is still
available to me.In this connection he said one more story that
there was one person known as Ali and on his door they used to
come every time and used, to say Assalam Alaikum Khaja Ali
and some time he was heard this voice and one day they came to
his house together and they said Assalam Alaikum so Khaja
Sahib said “ Oh: men you say only Salam Alaikum or sometime
you are seen by me and after this he was not heard voices again.
The compiler of the book told, “ It may be possible that Khaja
Ali was done mistake in this matter.” So he said, “Yes indeed he
was done cheerfulness so he was away from this grace.”
Afterward, he said the persons of invisible used to call and used
to talk and when they used to visit and then they take the
persons. At the end of this story, he said with his holy tongue,
“In all such places and all comfort where they use to take the
persons.”
Saluk (mystic initiation)
On Monday on 19th of Jamadal-Awwal month in the year
707 Hegira, I was blessed of kissing the feet of the Sheikh and
the discussion about Saluk (mystic initiation) was started and he
said the follower (It means Salik (as a Salik (Arabic: ‫)َس اِلك‬, a
Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism) of
mystic initiation will be in search for perfection and afterward
he said there will be one Salik and one Waqif and one Rajah.
Salik, Waqif and Rajah
642
Salik is one who only follow the way and Waqif is one who
study Fiqh (Islamic law) and the compiler of the book told “ Is
there will be Waqfa (interval) for Salik also there and he said “
Indeed, at the time when there will be a fault in obedience with
Salik and so he will be stopped from the fondness of obedience
and then there will be an available gap in this matter. If he
knows soon in this matter, then do repentance so for this purpose
he will become again Salik otherwise, he will be live in the same
position. And there will the possibility of doubt that whether he
will not get returned back.” There are seven kinds of these
mistakes as follows.
1. Araz (decline)
2. Hijab (veil)
3. Tafasil (details)
4. Slab (seizure)
5. Mazid (more)
6. Tassaly (satisfaction)
7. Adawat (enmity)
He was given the details of the above kinds of mistakes as
follows.
Suppose if there are two friends are there and who are lover
and beloved of each other and both of them are in drown in the
love. If there will be comfortable or revoke from the lover,
which is not like by his friend so he will turn his head from him.
So there will be Waqfa (interval) for the lover and it is expedient
for the lover to ask for pardon immediately. If he will do like
this then his friend will be in the agreed condition and there will
not be available the following things.
1.Kudrat (ill-will)
2.Araz (decline)
643
If the lover will insist for his mistake and if he will make no
pardon then Araze (decline) will become Hijab (veil). And the
beloved will not show her face to him. On this occasion, Khaja
Sahib for giving an example by putting his sleeves on his holy
face and he said in this way Hijab (veil) will be like that. At that
time, it was expedient for the lover to do excuse and repentance.
And if he will not do then Hijab (veil) will turn into Tagaful
(separation). So first there will be Araz (decline) for not asking
pardon which will be turned into Hijab (decline) and then
gradually it will turn into Tagafal (separation). Still, if there will
be no asking for a pardon then there will be an increase of Salb
(seizure).It means the obedience and comfort of recitals etc., will
be taken away from him. Still, if he will not do repentance and
not do pardon then Salb (seizure) will become Salb Qadim (old
seizure). It means before more seizure which was their condition
of sincerity and comfort which was prevail with him and which
will be taken from him. So if still there will be no repentance
and pardon then old seizure will turn into satisfaction. Again in
his heart, there will be satisfied in this matter. And there will no
thinking. Then also, if there will not do pardon then there will be
created enmity. It means love will turn into enmity.
Excellence by giving the food to eat
On the Monday 25th Jamadal Awwal month in the year 707
Hegira, blessings of kissing of feet of the Sheikh available to
me. The discussion about giving food to eat was started and he
told with his holy tongue that giving food to eat with the person
is the best thing. In this connection he said “ The pious
personality Khaja Sheikh Rukunuddin’s son Khaja Ali was
captured in the battle of infidels and he brought in the court of
Chen Giz Khan and one disciple of his family was there and he
644
was surprised to see Khaja Ali in imprisoning and he began to

think of his release from there. And he thought how will discuss
this matter before Chen Giz Khan.? If he will say that he
belongs to the pious family then he will not accept it and he did
not know in this matter.? And if he says about his obedience and
worship, then there will no effect there. At last, upon so much
thinking he went to see Chen Giz Khan and he said there that his
father was a pious personality and used to give food for eating
with the people so he should be released. Chen Giz Khan said “
To whom he will give food for eating with the persons of his
family or persons from outside family persons.?”. He said to
him, “ Everybody will be given food for eating to his family
members, but he thinks that person human being, one who will
give food for eating with other people.” So he was given orders
to release him immediately and to give him a robe of honour and
asked pardon from him. Afterward, Khaja Sahib said, “ Giving
food for eating for persons is liked in all religions.”
Danger, intention and action
Afterward, the discussion about the danger, Azmiat
(intention) and the action was started and he said “ First, there is
a danger it means the thing which will enter into the heart and
afterward there will be intentions, it means there is an ambition
for this and it will be there in the heart. And afterward, come
action it means the determination will turn into action.” Upon
this he said, “ Unless the people will not do action,
accountability will not be the possible. But in the case of danger,
the special people will do their Muwkaza (accountability). It is a
must because in every matter we should approach towards
Allah. As danger, Azmiat (intention) and action are all made by
Allah. In every condition refuge of Allah should be searched.”
645
Afterward, he said, “ Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair used to

say that whichever idea came from his heart and from that idea
he was faced blame upon him, whether he would not do such
action.” So one time one true Darwish came to his shrine
building so he was given respect to him. At the time of the
breaking of the fast, he asked his daughter to bring water jug for
him. The girl was brought and put the water jug before the
Darwish with great respect and honour. Sheikh Abu Saeed liked
the style of the respect of the girl and there was came thought in
his heart that how will be such pious person whose this girl will
become his wife.? When this idea came into his heart then has
sent Hasan Mauzzan, who was serving in the shrine building to
the bazaar to find out what is happening in the city. He came
back from there and he said he heard such thing which his ears
could not able to bear it. The Sheikh told him “In bazaar one
person was saying to another person that Sheikh Abu Saeed
wants to marry his daughter.” So the Sheikh laugh for this
matter and he said so his accountability was done only for ideas
when came into his mind. When Khaja Sahib told this story and
at that time the compiler of this book told: “ From this story, it is
known that Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair was a great pious
personality of his time.” He said “ Indeed ” and he was praised
for me.
Then a discussion about firmness was started and he said “
If any person repented from wine drinking, then his friends will
be obstructed in this matter and every time and in the place
where they drink and have pleasure and will call him there and
try to give him drink and this thing will be possible then if there
will be interest in his heart and if his heart will be clearer there
from such attention than any of his friends will not obstruct
him.”
646
Afterward, he said “ The person to whom people will say,

sinner, then his heart will be inclined towards such bad deeds.
When he will repent from it and clear it from his heart and then
he will never remember it. So this firmness is a sign of
repentance. It means the person who repents, if his firm on his
repentance so he will not be called a sinner or false. But if he is
inclined toward sins, then we do oppose and will discuss orally
also about his sinfulness.”
The Fakirs of Hyderia group
Afterward, the discussion about a group of Hydra Fakir
(beggars) was started and he said “ He was a Turk and he was a
person of rapture and Darwish. When Chen Giz Khan leaves and
then infidels came towards India and he went towards his friends
and told them to flee as they will become overpowering.” When
he was asked “ How do you know in this matter.?.” He told “
They have brought one Darwish and they are themselves in his
custody of that Darwish. I face wrestling with him and he
defeated me. Now the reality of the situation is that they will be
overpowering, so, for this reason, you should flee from here.
Afterward, they hid in the cave and disappeared from the sight.
The same result was happening as per his saying.” Afterward, in
connection with this story the compiler of this book told the
bigger of a Hyderia group used to wear iron bracelets and collars
in their hands and heads or did they following for this.? He said
“Yes, but on them when there will be such condition will prevail
in which they will hold two hot irons with their hands, they
make some time iron collars and sometime bracelets and iron,
which will become like wax in their hands and now this group
will wear bracelets and collars and but now there is no such
condition in them.”
647
Afterward, the discussion started that this is the name of life

and that Darwish should be engaged in the invocation of Haq
(truth). After this, he said “ There were one Darwish and his
name was Amirak Gerami and one another Darwish went to visit
him due to his fondness. In that pious person, there was a
miracle to him that whatever he will see in the dream which will
be happening and its interpretation of the dream will be same as
per his dream. When there was overflowing of fondness for him
so he was started to visit him. During his journey, he was
hearing in his dream that Amirak Gerami was dying. Upon
waking up in the morning, he said, alas, he was covered so much
distance to visit him, which was gone waste and no purpose at
all and he was dying and now what to do in this matter. Go
ahead and reach his place and visit his grave there. Upon
reaching his place, he began asking about his grave. All of them
said he is alive and complete well and you are asking about his
grave. So that Darwish surprised that how his dream was
becoming false.? In short, he went to visit Amirak Gerami and
said Salam to him.” He: replied, his salam and said: “ Khaja
your dream was true in reality because he was used to be always
in the invocation of Allah and today he was engaged in some
other thing so, for this reason, there was being proclaimed thus
in the world that Amirak Gerami is dead.”
The discussion of Fasting and rules of Darwishi (mysticism)
On the Thursday of the 13th Jamadal-Awwal month in the
year 707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and
discussion about fasting was started. He told with his holy
tongue that “ There is a tradition that the last prophet of Allah
used to keep three months of fasting. But it is not known which
are those three months?” Afterwards, he said the rules are
648
followed.
1. One third of the period of the year should be observed in
keeping fasting, it means one should keep fasting for a period of
four months. Afterward, he said “ The rules of Darwish
(mysticism) are that fasting for a period of one-third of the year
is required and it means for a period of four months one should
keep fasting. Those people also keep fasting for a period of three
months and they observe fasting on tenth Muharram, 3rd Zil
Hajj, 10th Muharram and on various days observed fasting and
all of these fasting period will become one-third of the year.”
Upon this, he said “ This kind of fasting is established as
follows.”
1. Two days of fasting in one week on Monday and Thursday
and in this way also become a period of one-third of the year.
Afterward discussion about Saim Dahr it means fasting of
all days of the life was started. So he said the Prophet of Allah
said, “ Min Saim Al Daher Kul Sam Wal Aftar.” Its meaning
and interpretation are as follows.
‘Those who observed fasting of all days of his life and who did
not observe and not did breakfasting.’
And one more saying of the prophet of Allah is as follows.
“Min saim al-daher taziq aliah juhanam wa eqad yastain”. Its
“ Those who observed fasting all days of their life, then there
will be no effect of the fire of hell and will not affect of a
reverse of fortune on that Sheikh.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “ The person who observes
fasting always then he will get into the habit of it so, for this
reason, those who keep fasting always then there will be no
649
problem of fasting for them. So for this reason with this kind of
fasting, there will be available more reward in which there will
be difficult for the soul. This kind of fasting is called Dawoodi
fasting in which one day of fasting is observed and breaking of
fasting is done on the second day.”
Zuhr (afternoon) prayer
On Wednesday on 19th Jamadal-Awwal month in the year
707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. He said
“After the prayer of Zuhr prayer, to pray for ten rakat with five
salam and in those rakat recite last verses from Quran.”
The Al-Khizer Prayer
Afterward, he said “This prayer is called Salt Al-Khizer.
Actually, this prayer belongs to Prophet Khizer (A.S.) and the
person who perform this prayer always then he will meet
Prophet Khizer (A.S.).”
The fixation of verses and Sunan prayers
Afterward, he said “Established verses in Sunah (prayers
according to the practice of the prophet) prayers are as follows.”
In the morning prayer after verse ‘Fatah’ to recite verse
‘Alam Nashara’ and ‘Alarm Tarah’ and in Sunnah prayer of
Zuhr from Sura ‘Qul Ya-Huhal Kafirun’ to Sura ‘Qul Wallahu
Ahud’ and in second rakat ‘Ayat ul-Kursi’ and ‘Amna Rasul’
and in a Sunnah prayer of Asar (late afternoon) prayer to recite
from ‘Eza Zulzelat’ to Sura ‘al-Takasar’ and in Sunnah prayer of
Maghrib (sunset prayer) to recite verse ‘Kafirun’ and verse
‘Iqlas’ and in Esha (night prayer) Sunnah prayer to recite
‘Ayatul Kursi’,‘Amana Rasul’,‘Shahadu Allah, Qul Allahumma
Mulk ul-Mulk’ and in Witar prayer to recite ‘Enna Anzalna’,
verse ‘Kafirun’ and ‘Iqlas.”
650
Patience and death

On the Thursday of 27th Jamadal-Awwal month in the year
707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Shiekh. The
discussion about the patience was started, it means of the death
of relatives then we should observe patience. And then which is
a strange work really. And against those who observe weeping
and crying with the name of the deceased which is not legal. In
this connection, he said “ Hippocrates had 20 sons and all of
them were dying one day and it is probably due to falling down
of the roof on them. When he came to know this news then there
was no a little change in his nature. And in this connection.” The
Sheikh said: “When Majnu was informed that Laila was dying
and upon this he said it to his shame that he was loved such a
thing which is not eternal.”
Pious men and women
Afterward, he said “ On the night of Thursday and at that
time one women pledge with him and she is from Indiat, and she
was very virtuous women and about her Sheikh Fariduddin used
to say that this woman is a man and she was born in the shape of
a man.” Afterward, he said “ Darwish used to pray for them as
women are poor and so respect should be given to pious women
first and after that respect should be given to pious men. He used
to remember first pious women and then he will remind pious
men later.” Upon this he said “ When in the jungle tiger will
leave from his den and about him, nobody did not ask whether
you are a male or are a female.? And it is a necessary thing, that
whether man or woman, but they should become famous in
power and piety.” Afterward, he was reciting one couplet about
pious persons.
The prayer of Riqab and prayer of Owaise of Qarni
651
On the Tuesday on the 13th Rajab month in the year 707

Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. He asked me
“ Whether you have friendship and with whom.” I told him “
With your great friends and mentioned their names “ and he told
“To live in their service and he praises for me.”
Afterward, he said this is told by Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul
Khair that, “ It is the practice of Mashaiq (learned persons)
when they come to know about the condition of anybody then
they will ask about the person which he has relation with him
and from this they will able to know how he is?”
Then a discussion about the prayer of ‘Lailat Riqab’ was
started and he said “ It is plural of ‘Ragbat’ (inclination) and it
means on this night there are many things in it.” He said with his
holy tongue “ Which are available in it and one who perform it,
then he will not die in that, year.” Upon this, he said, “ One
person used to perform this prayer always and in the year he was
dying, he did not perform this prayer and on the same day he
was dying.”
Upon this he said “ About the prayer of hadrat Owaise of
Qarni and this prayer is performed on 3rd, 4th, and 5th of Rajab
month “ and afterward, he told “ It is also performed on 14th and
15th and as per another tradition, it is performed on 23rd, 24th
and 25th and upon this he said about its excellence that “ In it
there is too much grace.” In this connection, he told one story
that “ In the Mazi school there was one learned person Moulana
Zainuddin and who was a very strange person. When he will be
asked about any problem, then he will use to give a reply in a
satisfactory manner and he used to talk in debate with great
knowledge and when he was asked about his education, then he
said that he didn't a get any education and he did not become a
652
disciple of anybody. When he was grown up once he was

performing the prayer of Hadrat Owaise of Qarni and he prayed
“ Oh: My Lord, I was growing up and he did not learn anything
so give me knowledge. So Allah opened for me the door of
knowledge. Now I can give meaning and interpretation of any
difficult problem smoothly.”
The Prayer for long life
After this, he said “ There is a prayer which is performed on
the last days of the month of Rajab for longer life. In this
connection he told the story that “ This prayer used to be
performed by Sheikh Bedridden Ghaznavi and upon this he said
by Sheikh Ziauddin Panipati’s son Rashid Nizamuddin he was
heard that Sheikh Bedridden Ghaznavi was near at his death
time and in that year he could not perform this prayer and he
told now his age is finished so in the same year he was dead.”
Kaaba’s habitation and destruction
On Tuesday in the 30th Rajab month in the year 707 Hegira,
discussion about the habitation and the destruction of the Kaaba
was in progress. He told with his holy tongue that “It will be
happening two times and it will be demolished and the third
time it will be taken away into the sky and it will be happening
during the last days of the world and after this, the day of
resurrection will be happening. When there will be near the day
of resurrection the people will bring idols and put them in the
Kaaba. And also Assinam tribal women will dance before those
idols and at that time Kaaba will be taken away to the skies.”
The obedience and worship
On the Wednesday on the 15th of Shaban month in the year
653
he was calling me to come near to him and he told me “To be
engaged in obedience and in recitals and to study books of
Mashaiq (learned persons) and do not live never idle ”and he
was given me cap and robe.
The reading of the Quran and staying up throughout the
night in the mosque
On the Wednesday on the 25th Shaban month in the year
the discussion about the people who used to staying up
throughout the night in the mosques, for the reading of the
Quran, and make a halt there. I told him “If we stay in worship
in the house,” then he told “To read one part of the reading of
the Quran is better in the house than finishing of the whole
Quran in the mosque and upon this he told the story about one
person who used to stay and wake up in the night in the mosque
of Damascus for hoping to become the Sheikh of Islam so, for
this reason, he used to stay in the mosque in the night.” Khaja
Sahib wept and he said, “ First to burn that Sheikh of Islam and
afterward burns that shrine building and at last to burn that
personality.” Then he told “One story of a prophet who kept
fasting for a period of 25 years but nobody knows in this matter
and even that his family members did not know that he used to
keep fasting. When he will reach to the house he will pretend
that he was eating in the shop and if he will be in the shop then
he will use to be pretending that he was eating in the house.”
Then he said “We should keep intention correct and pious.
Because the mankind will watch the actions and Allah will look
at the intentions. When there will be intentional, then a small
deed will be enough.” In this connection, he told “One story of
654
the Damascus Central Mosque, which is having a huge trust so

the post of the trustee (mutawalli) of that mosque and which
position will be very strong like a second king there. Thus that if
the king will need money, then he will take a loan from the
trustee of the mosque. In short, one Derwish in greed of that
trustee post was started obedience and worship in that mosque.
As that person who well gets fame in the above matters will be
given the post of the trustee of the above mosque. That person
was engaging in the obedience there for longer periods, but
nobody took his name on their tongues.”
The good intention or bad
One night he ashamed for his worship of the show and he
made promises to Allah that he will do worship for the sake of
His willingness only and will not do worship for the greed and
for the post of the trustee of the mosque. So he began
worshiping Allah with good intention and sincerity and with
those days he will call out for the post of trustee of the mosque,
then he said “ He was leaving his intent in this matter. I have
desired very much for this job before, but I could not get it. But
now I am ignoring it so I got the job. In short, he was continuing
his worship for the sake of Allah and he did keep him away
from the post of the trustee.”
On the Friday of the 9th Ramadan month in the year 707
Hegira year, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Among
the persons present in the meeting place, he told this story “
There was one Derwish who was very pious and he was much
interested in the service, of Darwish persons. With him, I said
why he did not present in the service of Khaja Sahib ?. And he
said once he went to see the Sheikh, with the intention to pledge
to him and he was found cloth was spread there on which food
655
items were there and the lights of torches were there. My faith
was changed and then I went back from there.” When Khaja
Sahib heard this talk, then he addressed to the persons who were
present there and he said “ When they have seen here a piece of
cloth spread on ground for serving dishes on meals and torches
were there and afterward upon smiling, he said as there was no
wealth of pledge was not written in his fate so it was looking for
him like that.” The compiler of the book said, “ If there will be
a piece of cloth spread on the ground for serving dishes on meals
and torches then faith should not affect.” He said, “ Some of the
people’s faith will be affected due to small matter.”
The caring of the orders of the master (Peer)
After some time the discussion about the caring of the
orders of the master was started, then he said once Shaikh of
Islam Hazrat Sheikh Fariduddin was raising his hands in prayer
and he said “ Is there any person who can remember this.” I
inquired “ What’s his purpose in this matter that I should
remember it.? I said in his service “ If I will recite one time than
I can remember it.” He said, “ To recite.” When I read, then he
has corrected vowel points and asked me to read like that so I
read like that. Although I read as per like that in which there
were meanings in it. In short, that supplication was memorized
by me. I told him that the supplication was memorized by me.
He asked me to recite. I have read as per his order and as per
vowel points. When I left from there, then Maulana Bedridden
Ishaque told me that you have done well to read this Arabic as
the Sheikh had directed. I reply, “ If the founder of this branch
of knowledge and other who were experts in its principles were
being to come and tell me ‘ Arabic is not being read the way you
read it, I will still read it as per the Sheikh had directed.”
656
Moulana Bederuddin was pleased with this respect for the

Shaikh Sahib which have shown to me and he said “ Nobody
should be not be found in any of the rest of us. That you have
recited as per vowel points which were shown by the master.”
Upon this the discussion about the rules of service of the
master was started and he said “ He heard with holy tongue of
Shaikh of Islam Fariduddin that I have done one boldness in my
whole life with my master who was Qutub (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot at axis) of the world and well known as Sheikh
Bakhtiar Kaki and once from him I sought permission for
loneliness of retire forty days in to mystic seclusion in the
aloneness of the house and the Qutub Alam Hazrat Bakthair
Kaki said “ There is no need of it and from which there will be
fame and our masters did not do like that so for fame it should
not be done like that.” Upon this Khaja Sahib was becoming
silent. So in this matter, I was regretting it in my whole period of
life and done regret in this matter that why I have asked for this
matter and which was against his order. When this story was
finished, then Khaja Sahib told I have also done boldness
without intention in the service of my Sheikh Sahib that one day
the manuscript of Awaf was in his service and from which he
tells benefits as it was written with small hand writing so there
were some wrong words were there in so he used to stop reading
for a while. I have seen another manuscript with Sheikh
Najibuddin Mutawakil so I remembered it and I told him there is
a correct manuscript of the book with the Sheikh Najibuddin
Mutawakil. So this matter was felt by him unpleasant and after
some time, he told whether there is no ability in him to correct
the wrong manuscript and he repeated these words two times.
First, I did not think in this matter that these worlds are told by
him in my favour, so, then I stood and put my head without the
657
cover on the feet of the Sheikh and said no it was not never such
in his meaning in his heart. So I regret with him too much, but
there were affects of unpleasantness were found. When I stood
from there, then I could not understand what to do.? So I was in
too much grief for this reason so while weeping in varying
condition and with surprise went outside and went near one well
and want to put down myself there then I thought again that
suppose if will die there, then there will be blame on some other
person and in thinking I was reached in the jungle area and
Allah knows what my condition was there.? In short, I have a
friendship with the son of Sheikh Shabuddin and I have
informed him my condition in this matter and he went into the
presence of the Sheikh and he was explaining my condition well
to him and he sent Sheikh Mohammed to call me. When I
reached there and I put my head on the feet of the Sheikh so he
was becoming happy with me. On the next day, he called me
and treated me with too much favour and affection and he said
all was done by him for a perfection of my condition. On that
day I have heard with his tongue that the master is decorator of
the disciple and he was awarded me special dress.
The power for endeavours
On the Wednesday on 23rd of Ramadan month in the year
707 Hegira, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at
that time the discussion about the endeavours was started. He
said “ When the people will start obeying, then indeed it will
become unpleasant to the soul. When he will do with the truth,
he will get divine help from Allah. And then that work will
become easy. Everything will seem difficult in the beginning,
but then there will be available divine help from Allah. So that
work will become easy. Every work will become difficult in the
658
beginning and when the man will do, then it will become easy.
Upon this, he told this story that “ Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil
want to write book Jamia Hikayat many times, but due to poor
livelihood condition it was difficult. And the expenses of the
copyist and the volume will be paid with much difficulty. If
there will copyist then he will not get expenses for him and if
expenses will be available then paper and other things will not
be there. In short, one day, one copyist whose name Hameed
came to see him and Sheikh Sahib told him he has long desired
to write a book of Jama Hikayat and which was not done by
any way. Hameed asked, “Is something is available?”. He said, “
One Dirham is there.” Hameed purchase paper of one Dirham
and started copying work and still he was not able to write, then
he got money from a number of victories and the paper cost of
the second part and copying expenses were paid with that
amount. After this, there was reached amounts from victories
continuously and soon the book was becoming ready. There is a
result, from this is that when any work will start, then it will be
finished with the help of Allah and it will reach to its final
phase.”
Afterward, he said “The details about the qualities of
Sheikh Najiudddin Mutawakil that one day he was sitting in his
service and on that day I was on my holiday and I have asked to
pray for me so that I can become Qazi (judge) but he was
becoming silent so I asked him for the second time may he did
not hear but he still became silent. So I have asked him for the
third time, then he said do not become Qazi but do any other
work. So he may be so upset with this post and for this reason,
he did not pray for this post.”
The forgiveness and repentance
659
Afterward, the discussion about the forgiveness and

repentance was started and he said “ In the saying (Hadith) of
the prophet it is mentioned that if any man having one Dirham in
his wallet and when he wants to take it out, but it will not come
out from inside and so he thought that it was falling somewhere
so he will become unhappy indeed and Allah will give him
another Dirham. There is a Hadith (saying of the prophet of
Allah) about such person who has only Dirham with him. But if
he has many Dirhams with him and one Dirham will lose, then
he will not become unhappy in this matter. But if one who has
one Dirham only and which will be lost, then he will become
unhappy and Allah will give him one Dirham. The meaning of
this revelation was explained on that day. And on that day, he
was awarded me saintly dress and special slippers to me.”
To advise to hold one door
On the Wednesday on the 10th Muharram month in the year
at that time he was sitting on the roof of the house and there was
lying one ladder there. When I paid respect to him, then he said
to me to sit near that ladder. So I sat there. Due to the flow of the
wind the door was opening and closing there. I was holding the
window in my hand so that it could not open it. Upon seeing me
holding on it for the period of some time, he said: “ Why did
you not leave it.?” So I have paid, respect to him and said: “ I
am holding it.” So he smiled and said, “ This door you have
caught in your hand so hold it with strength.”
Afterward, he said “ To hold door only. Bahauddin
Zikeraia used to say all doors should not belong to all persons
and he should hold one door only and he should hold it with
strength.”
660
After this, he said “One mad person was standing at the door
at the morning time. When the door was opened, then the people
come out from there and some persons went to the right side and
some others went towards the left side and some persons
followed the straight way. Upon seeing this, the mad person told
“ They are following problem and opposite way so they could
not able to reach anywhere. If all of them follow the only one
way, then they can reach to their destination indeed.”
The benefits of eating less
After some time, he said “ About eating less and its benefits
and the defects of more eating, so the discussion was started. He
said “ When once the stomach is full then one should not eat
more. But it is legal for two persons and one among is that
person in whose house guest is there so for them, he can eat with
them some more food and the other person one who keeping
fasting and he thinks that at the time of pre-dawn meal he could
not get anything. And if then if he can eat more food which is
legal.”
The supplication of Masura to be free from calamity
Afterward, the discussion about the supplication of Masura
was started and he said “ If any person is facing any grief and
which is not able to cure-able in any way, then on Friday from
time of the Aser (late afternoon) prayer till the sunset time he
should not do any work and he should recite only three names
which are as follows.”
1. Ya Allah
2. Ya Rahaman
3. Ya Raheem
from that calamity.
661

662

benefits.”
663
Afterward, he said about the mercy and excellence of Allah
and in this connection he said “Against the thought of the
creatures there are skills of Allah. Then he told this story, that
one caliph of Baghdad who was imprisoned one young man so
his mother approached the caliph and she made lamentation
there and requested him to release her son. The caliph told her
“He was given his order to imprison him for always and till the
sons of the caliphs will remain in the world till then your son
will be imprisoned”. And upon hearing this the old woman wept
and there came tearing in her eyes and she looked at the sky and
she said: “ The caliph was given his order and now what is Your
command in this matter.?” When the caliph heard this then his
heart shown compassion and he was given orders to release the
boy and he was awarded him one costly horse to him so that he
should make one trip into the Baghdad city and on the horse
with an announcement to the beat of the drum that as per
thought of caliph this is the mercy of Allah on this boy.
Regarding generosity and ability of the disciple
Afterward about the salvation and the ability of the disciple,
the discussion was started, then he told with his holy tongue that
there was one disciple with the Sheikh of Islam Khaja Fariuddin
and his name was Yousuf and he was telling in the service of his
master that he has been in his service for 30 years and he is
favouring everybody but he should favour him more than others.
The Sheikh told him, “ There is no fault from his side, but it is
required in your ability and qualification. If there is your ability
and qualification will be there then I will do something. If it was
not given by Allah, then what he will do.?” So the disciple said
664
like that. During that time, the Sheikh looked at one small boy
and he told him to bring one brick from a heap of bricks and he
brought one best brick. Then he asked Yousuf to bring one bring
brick for him. Then he brought half brick, which in the broken
condition. So the Sheikh told “ What he will do in this matter.?
Whether he did this work.? As your fate is like this. So he did
not do anything and there is no fault of him in this matter. ”
Sheikh Usman Khairabadi
On the Thursday on the 8th Shawwal month in the year 707
Hegira year, I sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about Sheikh Usman Khairabadi was started. He said,
“ He was a great pious person of his time and he was prepared
one book of Tafsir (exegesis) of the Quran.” Afterward, he said,
“ He was used to living in Ghazni and he was used to cook
vegetables of turnip and sugar-beet and used to sell.” After some
time, he said, “ If any person will give him a spurious coin, then
he will sell the whatever he will cook.” He used to accept
deliberately the false coins like that he did not able to
distinguish between genuine or spurious coins. Many persons
used to bring spurious coins and exchange with genuine coins
and from him purchases his food. At the time when was dying,
then he looked at the sky and he said “ Oh My Lord, You know
well that the people used to give me spurious coins and which he
was used to accepting those coins and he never returns those
coins from him. If there is any spurious obedience with me then
a do favour to him due to your kindness and excellent.”
Afterward, he said “ One time one Darwish, who was a
person of status and who was demanding food from the
cauldron, then when Sheikh Usman put the spoon in the
cauldron and he took out as he finds un-bore pearls and pearls
665
were there in the spoon. So that Darwish told him “What he will
do with these pearls. ?” So he put again spoon and then he finds
gold. And Darwish told him “ These are stones and cancers. So
he cannot take such things which he can eat. So he put the spoon
third time in a cauldron and he finds this time cooked vegetables
and which he was taken out from the cauldron. When Darwish
saw all these things, then he said he should not live here and in
those days he was dying there.”
Upon this, he said “When Darwish will cause of these
things, then he could not live. Afterward, he told with his holy
tongue that whatever the pious persons used to reveal due to
their condition of intoxication as they belong to persons of the
intoxication and against this the prophets are people of Sahu
(sobriety). Hakim Sanai says “Intoxication is called that thing in
which, if he reveals any skill so, there should be no delay in this
matter. Upon this he said “For men of revelation and miracles
are in the place of the veil and the work of constancy is love.”
Different issues
On the Monday on 23rd of Ziqad month in the year 707
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Upon
coming to one person, Khaja Sahib told him “ To whom your,
ancestors have pledged?, and what is their master’s name.?”
And he replied, “ They were disciples of Sheikh Jalaluddin
Tabrazi.” Khaja Sahib told that Sheikh Jalauddin used to make
his disciples very few persons. At that time, Qazi Hamiduddin
and Moulana Burhanuddin Gharib were present at the meeting
place and they said, “ Upon such pious and Sheikh he did not
make many persons his disciples.?” Khaja Sahib said “ Whether
he makes disciple or not, but there will be no difference in his
666
piousness and greatness of the Sheikh. And its example is like

that there are two persons are there in both of them there are
essence and power to bring into existence and with one there
will be born sons and at another person there will be no born
sons and from this it is not necessary for him and there will
make no difference about his male sex. And but it was very less
seen in this matter and prophets have passed such like persons.
So on the day of judgment one prophet will come there with his
nation and some will have less and some will have more with
him. One prophet will come there with only one person with him
and from this it is not necessary that there is a fault in his
prophet-hood. And in this same way understand about master
and disciple.”
Sama (ecstasy) and Wajad (rapture)
On Sunday on the 29th Zil Quad, in the year 707 Hegira, I
was sanctified to touch with the feet of the Sheikh. At the time
of Sama meeting there will be a rapture and for this matter, the
discussion was started. He said there are 99 names are there and
in them “Alwajid al-Majid” is included in it. The meaning of “
Wajid” is the giver and upon this he said “Wajid” came from the
word “Wjad” and it means the forgiver like “Shakur” and its
meaning is thanksgiving persons and in the names of Allah its
meaning is available as who accepts thanks and, in the same
way, Wajid’s meaning is the giver of Wajd (rapture).
Afterward, the discussion about Sheikh Shabuddin
Saherwardi was stated that he did not use to hear Sama. He told
with a holy tongue that “ Sheikh Najamuddin Kubra used to say
that more and more grace was given to Sheikh Shahabuddin but
he was not given any taste of the Sama (ecstasy) to him.” After
this, the discussion of engrossment of the endeavours of Sheikh
667
Shabuddin was started. Then he said “ One day Sheikh Ouhd

Kirmani came to visit Sheikh Shabuddin then at that time Sheikh
was folded his prayer carpet and kept it under his knees. This
thing is the very great mark of respect for learned person. In
short, when the night was started so Sheikh Ouhd Kirmani
demanded Sama so Sheikh Shubuddin called Qawwals
(choristers) and have arranged Sama (ecstasy) meeting and he
himself went on the corner side and he himself was engaged in
obedience and in the invocation of Allah. Sheikh Ohud and
other persons were engaged in the night in the Sama meeting.
When at the time of daybreak the servant of shrine told in the
service of Sheikh Shahabuddin as there was Sama meeting in the
night so there should provide food to all persons. So Shaikh
asked him whether Sama was held on the last night.? The
servant told him “ Indeed and he told him he was not known in
this matter.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “ From this it is known Shaikh
Shuhabuddin’s amazement was such that he was very much
engaged in the invocation of Allah and that there could not be
overwhelming of Sama upon him. When there will be a stop of
Sama meeting, then Sheikh Sahib heard Quran. Sheikh
Shahabuddin, so he could not hear the Sama despite its
overwhelming of it there and he could not hear completely.
From this, it can imagine that he was engaged in the invocation
of Allah.”
After this then the discussion about the graves (cemetery) of
the Suhader was started. So he said “ There were buried many
pious people. Upon this, he was asked “ Whether I have seen the
cemetery of Suhader? ”.So I said “Yes”, I have seen it and have
visited the grave of Shaikh Hussain Ranjani and Ali Huejeri and
668
both of them were disciples of one master. And he was Qutub

(highest cadre in the spiritual pivot at axis) of his time. Ali
Ranjani was lived in Suhader for a long period. After some time,
their master told Khaja Ali Hujeri to go and reside in the
Suhader. And Ali Hujeri told him that Hussain Ranjani is there.
He told him “To go.” So Ali Hujeri went to Suhader as per his
order and he was reached there in the night time. In the next
morning, the funeral of Sheikh Hussain was taken toward the
cemetery.
Afterward, the discussion about the poem was started. He
told “Mashaiq (learned persons) were written many best poems.
For example, Ehud Kirmani, Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair and
other pious persons and among them well known are Sheikh
Saifuddin Bakharzi and who was memorized all knowledge.
Once the disciples told him in his service that “ Every person
was written one or another book so why he did not write.?”
Then he said, “ Think his every line of his poetry as a book and
with that, he told to the compiler of the book to perform Ishraq
(mid morning) prayer as follows.”
“ In the first rakat after Surah Fateha to recite Ayat al- Kursi
up to Khalidoon. And in the second rakat from Amana Rasool
recite it completely and from Allahu Noor Samawat to Alaihim.
Upon this perform two rakat of prayer and prayer of Istaqara
(prayer for dream serving as augury).
In the first rakat after Surah Fateha to recite Sura Falaq and
in the second rakat Wan Nas. ”
Afterward, he said “ About prayer of Istaqara (prayer for
dream serving as augury) as follows. In the first rakat after Sura
Fateha to recite Sura Kafiroon and in the second rakat after
Surah Fateha to recite Sura Iqlas and after this two rakat of
669
Dogana (supererogatory prayers) and supplication. He said

about two rakat of prayer more, I will give you details. On the
day when Sheikh of Islam Khaja Fariduddin given me the order
to perform six rakat of prayer, of Ishraq (mid-morning prayer)
and he said he will inform him some more details.”
Rules of the meeting place
On the Thursday on the 11th of Zil Hajj in the year 707
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at
that time of discussion of about the rules of the meeting place
was in progress. Then he said “ The name of rules is that when
one who will enter into the meeting place and if he will find the
empty place then he should occupy that place and sit there. At
the time of visiting in the service of the master then leave
thinking to sit upper or lower side, but sit in the place where
ever you will find it because it's the place which belongs to the
common person in the meeting place.”
Afterward, he said “Once the prophet of Allah was sitting at
a place and his companions were sitting around him in a circle.
At that time, three persons came there. One person among them,
he was finding a place in the circle and he sat there. The second
person was not getting placed in the circle. He sat at the back
side and the third person returned back from there. After some
time, the prophet of Allah said, “ At this time Angel Gabriel
came there and he informed me that Allah says the person who
sat in the between the circle to whom He was taken him in his
custody. And who sat behind from others, so He is ashamed of
him and on the Day of Judgment, We will not disgrace him and
the person who left from there and he is away from Our mercy.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “ The rule is the name of that
thing when one who will come in the meeting place, then he
670
should sit at the place where ever he finds it. And if he will not
find a place in the meeting then he should move toward
backside, but he should not sit in the between the person because
one who sit in the between being cursed person.”
The reading of the Quran
On the Sunday on the 21th Zil Hajj in the year 707 Hijira,
discussion about the reading of the Quran was started. And he
was told with his holy tongue that “ If the reader will find
pleasure and comfort in any verse then he should read it many
times. Upon this, he said “ The condition of reading of the
Quran and Sama (ecstasy) meeting and from which there will be
available felicitated and there are three kinds of it and which are
as follows.”
1. Anwar (lights)
2. Ahwal (condition)
3. Isar (effects)
And these three are sent down from the angelic world and
the world of heaven and these three are falling down in places
on the souls, hearts and limbs and the Anwar (lights) are falling
down from the angelic world on the souls, Ahwal (condition)
from the world of heaven and will fall on the hearts and Isar
(effects) are falling down on limbs from angelic world. And in
the first condition in Sama meeting it will prevail from the
angelic world on the souls and afterward, whatever which is
prevailing in the heart and it is called Ahwal (condition). And
which is prevail from the world of heaven in the hearts and after
it, there will action and movement and lamentation will be
shown and it is called Isar (effects) and which will be prevailed
on limbs from the world of angels.”
671
Afterward, for some time the discussion was started about

Tasadaq (charity) and he said “If there will be five conditions in
Sadqa (charity) then it is accepted. And from it, two are before
giving away of charity and two at the time of giving of charity
and one will be there after it. The two conditions before giving
away are that whatever one who will give and which should be
from legal income and which should be given to any pious
person and who should not be used in the bad deed. The two
conditions at the time of giving away are that first it should be
given with humility and happily and joyously and secondly, it
should be given secretly. And the condition after it is whatever
he will give then he should not bring it on his tongue and forget
it.”
The difference between Sadqa and Sudqa
Afterward, he said “ There is Sadqa (charity) and another is
Sudqa and Sadqa its meaning is charity and now left Sudqa and
which is in the liability of dower and the meaning of both of
them demand of Sidiq Muhabat (true love) so, with whom you
want to marry, then one should love her truly so, he will bring in
between liability of dower and which is given in the way of Haq
(truth) and from which there will be found the love of Allah and
its name is called Sidaq Mohabbat (true love) and from its name
was given as Sadqa (charity).
Afterward, he said Hazrat Abu Baker (R.A.) brought one
time 40,000 Dinars in the presence of the prophet of Allah. The
prophet asked him “Whether he kept anything for his family
members.” He said that “ Allah and his prophet is enough for
them.” Afterward, Hadrat Umer Bin Qattab (R.A.) came there
and he brought half of the amount than Hadrat Abu Baker
Siddiq (R.A.). The prophet asked him “Whether he kept
672
anything for his family members.” He said “ He was kept half

amount for them.” Afterward, the prophet was given orders for
the things brought by them.
Afterward, he told a story about Hadrat Abu Baker Siddiq
(R.A.) that “On the day when he brought 40,000 Dinars into the
presence of the prophet and on that day he wore the dress of rag
with a stick with nails on it. At that time, Gabriel came in the
presence of the prophet in the rag dress with tagged with nails so
the prophet asked him “What is this dress.?” Gabriel told him, “
Oh : prophet there is a command for all angels to wear this dress
by following of Hadrat Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) and on it stick
nails.”
The truth
From there the discussion about the truth was started and he
said “ One person had 55 Dinars with him and he thought in his
heart that he should visit Kaaba. And to give this amount to the
custodian and persons living there and with this intention, he left
on his journey. During the journey period he finds one imposter
and who was taken out his sword. So that person was taken out a
bag of money and he was thrown out before him and he told him
why he is killing him and take this bag of 55 Dinars and
impostor took the money bag and he has given him back 55
Dinars to him and told him “Your truth was cool down his
grave.”
Tasadaq
Afterward, he told the story of about Tasadaq (charity) that
“Once Hadrat Umar bin Qattab was given away one horse to one
person as a free gift. And that horse became weak with that
person so he wants to purchase back at a cost the horse from him
and when he was told this in the service the prophet then he
673
prohibited him and told him not to take back or purchase that
thing if we get it for one Dirham.”
The excellence of provision of food
Afterward, the discussion about the provision of food was
started and he said “ One pious said the provision of food of one
Dirham to the friends is better than charity of 20 Dirhams. And
in this connection, he told one story that “ One Darwish came to
see the governor of Bukhara and he said that he has some work
to the king of the city so he should make his recommendation
there. So he asked with him what is his, right? That he should
make a recommendation to him. Or whether I have any right
upon him.? He said, “ One time you have cooked food and I
have eaten food while sitting on your piece of cloth spread for
serving dishes on meals and this is my right over you.” When he
was hard then he went to see the king and he did the work of
that person.”
The dealings of buying and selling
Afterward, he said about the affairs of indigent persons and
their dealings of buying and selling. And in this connection, he
said “ Sheikh Bedridden Ishaq was given him chequered carpet
to one person and ask him to go bazaar and sell it there and told
him to sell away on the system of Darwishi (Mysticism).” That
person asked what is this.? He said to get the money, whatever
you will available from there. ”
Ibrahim bin Adham
On Monday on 29th Zil Hajj in the 780 Hijira, I was
sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and the discussion
about the qualities and the status about Ibrahim bin Adham was
started. He said “He was living for a period of nine years in one
674
cave and in that cave there was spring was there. He was used to
living there and used to worship of Allah there. One night there
was very much cold was there and due to his reason, there was
fear of death due to heavy coldness. In the darkness of the night
he got one dress from there and due to the wearing of it, he was
becoming warm in the cave. During the day break, he was
thrown away the dress and upon watching it carefully, he was
seen, it was a big python and it was not dress and which was
opened his eyes and while spreading his hood it was moved
there. So he was surprised in this matter. And at that time, he has
heard a divine call in which he was heard “Najinak Min Al-talf
bill-talf.” And its meaning and interpretation are that “ We have
saved you from your killer through your killer.” The cold and
snake were going to kill him, but We were saved from cold
through snake.”
Afterward, he said “ One Darwesh was fallen into the well
and there was not available rope there from which he can come
out from there. So he determined to die there. At that time, he
was seen that one rope came hanging from the upper side of the
well. So he thought it was the source of his salvation. And he
caught it and he came out of the well. And he finds there that
one tiger was hanging in the well and he has heard a divine call
in which it was told. “ Najinak min al-talf bill-talf.”
From the discussion here about the miracles of the pious
person started and he said “ There was a veiled pious person.
And one claimant came there and he sat near him. And he
wanted to check him and he thought in his heart that the eyes are
blind in the manifest and it is expedient that it may be different
in the sight of his innermost. So he addresses veiled pious
675
person and said what is the sign of Vilayat (saintliness) ? and

during this time one bee came there and sat on his nose. So that
man flew it three times, but the bee came there and sat on his
nose again. During this time, that person asked again what is the
sign of the saintliness?. He said one sign of it is that on pious
person bees will not sit. Then the discussion about caring of the
loaf was started and he said one young person became a disciple
of Ibrahim bin Adham and who used to eat very much food. So
Ibrahim bin Adham was surprised about his obedience and
worship. So he scolded his soul that this young man who was
becoming his disciple will do so much obedience, but you are
not caring about this matter. Afterward, he came to know from
the light of innermost that all this work belongs to Satan.
Because that young man who used to eat doubtful loafs so Satan
will do with him such obedience from him. When he comes to
the details so he told the young man to eat the food from where
he is eating his food. The young man starts eating food from the
source of selling wood, then the overwhelming of the false
worship was no more on him and he started little worship till
that even he could perform the obligatory prayer with difficulty.
And the work of the young was completed and he came in the
straight way of the guidance.”
The benefits of endeavours
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “ This secret is a facility of all
secrets and which he was manifested. And Sheikh should do this
work. Upon this, he told about obedience, if it will be less but in
it, there should be more truth.”
Then the discussion about the benefits of endeavours was
started and he said “ Sheikh Shujahuddin Kirmani did not sleep
for a period of 40 years. After 40 years he has seen Allah in his
676
dream and upon this wherever he goes, he used to take with him
his sleeping clothes and he used to sleep there and so that he
could see again that wealth. One day he heard that wealth was
possible him due to his wakefulness of 40 years.”
Accumulation and Expenditure
Afterward, he said “About the accumulation and expenses
of the wealth of the world and he said the thing is described by
two methods. First, is there will be accountability of legal
earnings.? And there will be punished for the earning which was
obtained from illegal sources. So there will be accountability for
this type of earning. And there will be punishment for this
reason. The other is that there will be punishment for legal and
illegal earnings. Which is because under the sun of judgment
day under which there will be standing and he will be asked
from where you have got and where you have spent it.?
Afterward, he said some says it is saying of Hadrat Ali Ben
Ali Talib (R.A.)
“ Halaha his WA home ezab WA Shaba thaha equip.”
And its meaning and interpretation is that there will be
accountability of illegal wealth of the world. And there will be
the punishment of illegal wealth and properties and also there
will be a warning and punishment for the doubtful earnings.
The acceptance of gold and silver
Afterward, the discussion about gold and silver was started.
He said “Some learned persons did not accept gold and silver.”
He said “ There are conditions to take and use of it so one who
will take it with truth and in this matter. He said If any person
will give it that person by thinking that he belongs to Alwai
(belongs to the sons of the prophet) but he does not belong to
677
Alawi so then taking gold and silver in that condition is

becoming illegal.”
Afterward, in this connection the discussion was started that
“Any man should not take anything from anybody and also he
should not think that it is better if any person will give him
something. If he will get anything without demand and thinking,
then it is legal for him. ”
During this period, he told one story that “One pious person
used to say he did not beg anything from anybody. Or he did not
have the greed of anything. Yes, if anybody will give something,
then he used to take it away and whether the person may be
Satan. Khaja Saheb smiled and he said what is this pious said
and its meaning is that the person who give me something and
from which he did not know what is that thing and where he
brought it. Because he did not ask for it.”
Afterward, the discussion about the prophets was started and
he said “ For every prophet was given the option of staying more
time at the time of death. If any prophet does not want to stay,
then come towards Allah. When at the time of leaving of the
prophet came then the woman of the paradise thought in her
mind that the prophet knows in this matter. So see it whether he
wants to stay with his companions for some more period of time
in the world. When this thought came into her mind, then she
saw at the prophet then the prophet told with his holy tongue
which is as follows.”
“ Ma Nabian al-Siddiqin Wal-Shuda Wa Salihin.”
All these benefits which are recorded in this book from the
beginning of the month of Shaban in the year 707 Hegira to end
of Zil Hajj in the year 788 Hegira and the above period are
counted one year and five months and if Allah wills then he will
678
be recording more benefits.

The End.

These pages of lofty and profitable high advise belongs to Khaja

Sahib of right and straight path and who is the Qutub (highest
cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of Qutub of the world and seal of
the Mashaiq (learned) persons in the world and who is called
Sheikh Nizamuddin who is leader of truth and Shariah (Islamic
law) and religion and may Allah give him longer life so that
Muslims will get benefits from his personality. And the advises
and discourse which heard with his holy tongue were collected
by me and I have written such things before. And its name was
given Fawad al-Fawad, I hope that if Allah wills the readers of
this collection will get tranquility of the both worlds.
The visit of the master
On the Sunday on the 2nd Shawwal in the year 709 Hijira, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The discussion
about the leaving of the relation of the creatures was started and
he said with his holy tongue that “ He was used to sitting in his
youth period with the people but there will desire in his heart
when this will be over. As a matter of fact, those people
belonged to education and who were used to busy in the
invocation of Allah. Even though at the time of discussion, there
will be hatred with them. So I told them many times I will not
live in them and he is there as a guest with them for some period
680
of time. ” The compiler of the book asked him whether he used

to say before he was becoming the disciple of Sheikh Fariduddin
Ganj Shaker.” He said “Yes.”
On the Monday of the tenth of Zil Hajj month in the 709
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion started with the visit of Sheikh during his lifetime and
after his death. He said, “ He, was visiting his master three times
during his life and six times upon his death and it is mentioned
that he was visiting his master during his life times ten or fifteen
times.”
Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Jamaluddin visited from Hansi
for seven times and he said Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil when
he was visiting the first time, then at the time of leaving, he was
requested to pray for him so that he can visit him like this again
and sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Then Sheikh told
him that “There are no needs for it and you will visit him a
number of many times. So he visited him afterward 18 times. At
that time of leaving18th times again he requested him in this
matter, but he was becoming silent and did not reply him. So
Sheikh Najibuddin thought he did not hear him. So he said again
in this matter, but he became silent. And he left from there.
Afterwards, he did not get a chance to visit him.”
Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria and Sheikh Shabuddin
Afterward, the discussion about Bahauddin Zakaria was
started and he said “When Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria was a
disciple of the leader of Sheikhs, Suhabuddin Suherwardi and he
did not stay with him for not more than 17 days. On the 17th
day, Sheikh Shahabuddin was granted many graces to him.
When Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria came to India and again he
was wanting to visit his Sheikh and when he was starting a
681
journey, then he was met Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi and he asked

him to return back and told him there is the order of the Sheikh
that you should return back.”
Afterward, he said about his piousness that “ He was
obtained the graces in 17 days and which could not be available
to his other friends even with many years of time. Due to this
reason, old disciples of the Sheikh were angered in this matter.
They said we have done many years of endeavours, but they
could not get nothing. And one Indian came and took away the
Sheikdom. When Sheikh heard this and he said: “You bring wet
wood so how it will give fire and he brought dry wood and he
was given fire with one blow.”
Obedience and endeavours of Allah
On the Thursday on 13th Zil Hajj in the year 707 Hijira, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. And the
discussion about the obedience and endeavours of Allah was
started and he said that “Who is in the presence . And who in
between two non-existences and so who is present in two non-
existences so it should be thought as non-existent.” Like during
the period of menstruation when the woman will see the mark of
blood on the first day and on the second day there will be no
mark and on the third day, there will mark again so she thinks
that the day in between them may be thought not as pure one.”
Afterward, he said “Al-waged bane admin Kal Mazhar
Almutaiqal Baina Amin.” And its translation and interpretation
is that the life is in place of death and so what will be confident
in it? And such short life should not be used in carelessness and
without work and destroyed.” Upon this “ He said about a pious
person who was used to busy in the worship of Allah always.
And who does not have relation with the mankind. So for this
682
reason, the people asked him the reason in this matter. So he

said “He was living before for many thousand years in the non-
existence. And also, after that, he will be non-existent. So the
age of 100 years, which I have got should not be wasted and
why it should not be used in the worship of Allah.” At that time,
Moulana Mahmud Awadhi asked him “ Where do you live.? He
said “He lived with Moulana Burhanuddin Gharib.”
After this, he said “Some parts of the land will ask other
portion of land, whether any Zakir (one who remembers Allah)
passed on from your place of land. Or whether sympathetic or
sorrowful person was passed. And if he will say no then he will
say as upon him Zakir was passed so, for this reason, it will feel
as superior and noble in this matter.”
Different advises
On the Tuesday on the 20th Zil Hajj in the year 707 Hijira, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. On that day, he
came back from the funeral of his any relative. And about his
condition as he said that “ The man was a pious and well-
mannered person and he was not concerned with anything about
a good deed or bad deed. And as such he did not hold any hand
of any person. ”
Afterward, he said “When the man will learn knowledge
and due to this he will become noble and when he will do deeds
then there will be an improvement in his work. On this occasion,
the master should join the two things. This is to bring down the
value of knowledge and action for the disciple. So that the
disciple should not become self-conceited and should not
become famous. Then he said to the deceased that he was alone
at the time of his death and there was nobody from his relatives
and other persons with him and only the personality of truth was
683
him and which is the great felicity.”

At this occasion, the discussion about Sheikh Shahabuddin,
who was Qatib (orator) of Hansvi was started. He said “ He was
used to engage in hymns of Allah and said that “ I have filled
many of my covenants so now I am hoping for your side to
fulfill Your promises. And at the time of my death, there should
be nobody with me. Either the angel of death and another angel.
And there will myself and Your personality.”
Upon this, he said “ Sheikh Shuhabuddin was a most dearest
person of Allah and every night he used to sleep upon reading
the Surah Baqer in the night. He said one night when he was
reading Sura Baqer in one night and he has heard one voice from
one corner of the house. All persons of the house were sleeping
and so he was surprised about voice and also there was not a
person who could say anything there. And he was heard also
second-time call.” When Khaja Sahib reached this point of the
story, but due to overpowering, he could not complete it. And he
began weeping and he said there was addressed to Moulana
Shahabuddin and with him there were many calamities and
troubles were coming upon him. In the exactly in that condition
he was a spent his life as per his will and wishes.”
Sama and its listeners
After this for some time, he said about Sama and its listeners
and he said to the disciples the listening of Sama is legal.
Eman (faith)
Afterward, the discussion about faith was started and he said
“There are how many kinds of it. He said the infidel person will
see the punishment at the time of death and then he will accept
faith but that faith is not mess-up. Because that faith is not a
684
faith of invisible, but if Momin (faithful) who did repentance at

the time of death then his repentance will be accepted. But the
faith of an infidel person will not be accepted at the time of
death.”
On the Wednesday on 11th Merhrram in the year 710 Hijira,
I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Shaikh and at that time
the discussion about books of the learned persons was started.
One dear person was present at the meeting place and “ He said
one person was shown him one book and he said this book is
written by him, but Khaja Sahib said that person is wrong and he
didn't write the book.”
Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Ali Hujerwari when he wrote
book ‘Kashaf Mahjub’ and at the beginning of the book he
wrote his name and also he added his name in two or more
places in the book. For this reason, because before he used to
write Arabic poetry without mentioning his name so, for this
reason, one person declares that Arabic poetry in his name and
at the time of death he was dying without faith. When he has
finished this discussion then he said that the time of death is a
very tough time.”
The signs of safety of the faith

That is, to know whether one person left the world with faith
or not? He said “ Signs of the safety of Eman (faith) is that at the
time of death face should become pale and there should be sweat
on the face. Afterward, he said when his mother died and at that
time these signs were found.”
Afterward, he said “ To the persons who were present at the
meeting that there are two Rakat of prayer are there which is to
685
be performed after the Maghrib (sunset) prayer for the safety of

the faith in which in the first rakat after Surah Fateha, seven
times Surah Iqlas and one time Surah Nas should be recited and
in the second rakat seven times Sura Iqlas and one time Surah
Nas should be recited in the prayer and then go in the prostration
and the following is recited three times.
“Ya Haiyu Ya Qayyum Shabti al-Eman.”
And upon this, he said “ The benefits of this prayer. Khaja
Ahmeduddin was heard from Khaja Moinuddin and who was
heard from Khaja Ahmed Azeem that there was one his friend
and who was used to perform this prayer always. When they
were at the limits of the city of Ajmer and at the time of sunset
time and at that place there was fear of thieves. So we prayed
three rakat and two rakat and left from that place. But that
person even though there was fear and he performed the prayer
of two rakat. In short when his time of death came near so I
went to see him and asked there how he was left from the
world.? He was dying as per usual way.” Khaja Sahib said
Khaja Ahmed told me “ The story of that person in such words
that if he would take near the chair of fate, then he will witness
that he left the world with faith.”
Afterward, he said “ About the two rakat of prayer and which
is performed after the prayer of Maghrib (sunset prayer). One of
my friends and whose classmate is Moulana Taqiuddin. And
who used to say that a person was a pious and wise person and
who used to perform always two rakat of prayer after Maghrib
(sunset) prayer and in the first rakat after Surah Fateha ‘Was
Sama Zat Burj’ and in the second rakat Surah Tariq used to
recite after Surah Fateha. When he died, then Khaja Sahib was
seeing him in the dream and asked how Allah treated with him
686
there.? He told him. “When he was dying then there was came
to the command that I have forgiven him for that two rakat.”
The prayer of Noor
From the listeners, one person asked, is it called Salat Noor.?
He said “No, but it is called Salat Baruj and in which there are
two rakat are there. In which Surah Inam in the beginning is
recited in the first rakat and it is finished on Yastizun and in the
second rakat it is started from ‘Alm Yarukum Ahlakna’ and it is
finished on Yastizum and this prayer is called Salat al-Noor.”
Incitement at the time of the sun rising and the sun setting
Afterward, at this time, he said about incitement of the sun
rising and its setting timings. That at the time of the sun rising,
then on the roof of Kaba, one angel will call “ Oh people of
Allah, the nation of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him)
Allah was given your livelihood. There is one day which will be
faced with you it means the day of judgment so for it do collect
on something in the world. So do something about it that, is to
pray two rakat of prayer and in each rakat after Surah Fatiha to
recite five times Sura Iqlas.”
Afterward, when the night will fall, then the same angel will
call from the roof of Kaaba “ Oh people of Allah, the nation of
Prophet Mohammed (peace is upon him) Allah has given you
this night and one more night will be faced by you. That is the
night of the grave. So keep something for this night and do
something. That is when the night will fall, then after the
Maghrib prayer to perform two rakat of prayer and in every
rakat after Surah Fateha to recite five times Surah al-Karifun.”
And afterward, he said with his holy tongue that “ Sheikh
Jamaluddin Hansavi was given a narration of this Hadith (saying
687
of the prophet.) and but he could able to remember of the Hadith

but its meaning and interruption is the same which mentioned as
per above.”
Remembrance of the death
Afterward, the discussion about the death was started. The
discussion about that situation which will provoke at the time of
death. So he told with a holy tongue that “ The pious persons
will be indicated of at the time of death as such that they are in a
dream. Or his beloved is on the bed. At that time of death, they
became such a person that they wake up suddenly. And they will
find their separated beloved of the life on the bed. You can
imagine the happiness which he gets in such situation. From the
listeners, one person asked whether the pious persons will get
available the power of observation in this world.? He said “
Indeed.” But he will see grace when he will be reached on the
high level of the perfection. So then he becomes such a person,
who will be sleeping in. And if he will wake up, then he will
find his beloved on his bed. The Hadith of the prophet is as
follows.”
“Al-Nas Niyam Naza Mutoe Enthiwa.”
And its meaning and interpretation is as follows
“All are sleeping and when they will die then they will be woken
at that time. It means the man in which he used to engage in that
work in the world and when he will die then such things will be
given to him.”
The death of the pious persons
Afterward, the discussion about the death of holy persons
was started and he said “ in Badayun City there was my friend
Ahmed and who was a very pious devotee and having attributes
688
of Abdals (an order of saints) and even though he was not

educated, but he used to busy day time in the re-search of other
Islamic (Sharia) orders and issues. And he used to ask questions
in this mater. When I was coming to Delhi then he was also
coming there and then I have met him. He met me with great
respect and he was asked about my condition and he did ask
about the condition of my mother and he did not know about the
death of my mother. When I told him then he was becoming
disturbed and changed and he began weeping. When Khaja
Sahib told the story up to here, then there was such lamentation
which was overpowering for him so whatever he was told was
not heard clearly. During the weeping, he recited one couplet of
the Persian poetry and it was not known whether it belongs to
him or Ahmed.”
After that, he said “ After some time Ahmed left of the
world. I have seen him in my dream and as per his habit, he was
asking me issues and the orders of Islamic law. I have told him
whatever you are asking is a benefit to him in his life or after his
death.? He said “ Do you think the pious persons as dead?” At
that time of telling the story, one mendicant came there and he
began saying harsh words there as per their habits. But Khaja
Sahib did not say anything to him. Whatever his demand for
which he came was fulfilled by Khaja Sahib.
Afterward, he was addressed to the persons who were in the
meeting place and he said “It should happen that many people
came to see him and put their heads on his feet. And some will
bring presents. So such type of persons should be allowed there.
And so why not they will be allowed whatever they say even the
matters of infidelity.? “ Upon this, he said once one man from
that group came there and he began saying bad things to me. But
689
I have not replied him. He said up to the time we will live in the
world and there will be the fault of us and there will be thinking
of you.”
Afterward, he said “One man from this group of uncivilized
came to see Sheikh of Islam Hadrat Fariduddin and he told him
you have built an idol worship place. The Sheikh Sahib told him
I have not built, but Allah made it. He said again, not you have
made it.? The Sheikh Sahib told him whatever was made by
Allah. Upon hearing this, he was becoming humiliated and he
was returned back from there.”
Upon this, he said “ Once one mendicant came to see Sheikh
Bahauddin and asked something from him. But he did not give
him so he went outside and began fighting there. So he took
some bricks to kill him. He told to close the door. He began
throwing the bricks. After sometime Sheikh Bahauddin said he
did not sit by himself and Allah was, asked him to sit there.
When the door was opened, then they put their heads on his feet
and they returned back from there.”
Afterward Khaja Sahib told “ When in the battle of Ahud in
Madina many companions of the prophet were martyred and at
that time angel Gabriel came over there and he said “ Oh;
Mohammed (peace be upon him) you also sleep one time in the
martyrs so that the hour of anger may be passed away.”
The collection of treasures
On the Wednesday on the 25th Muharram in the 710 Hijira, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Then the
discussion about the people who used to have a habit of a
collection of treasures was started. He told with his holy tongue
that “Allah created men with their different habits. And in
among them, there are such people and when they get more
690
amount than the expenditure they will not sit idle unless they
will not spend more money. And there are some other persons
are there and when they get whatever more money than they will
desire more and more and this is the fate of beginning.”
Afterward, he said “ There will be getting comfort from
gold and silver when it will be spent and when it will be no
spent then there will no comfort available. For example, if
anybody will desire of food and drink or clothes, etc. So unless
if he will spend money, then he will not get these things. So it is
known that from the money there will be an available comfort.
So it will available due to the expenditure and saving of the
money.”
Afterward, he said “ The meaning of a collection of money
is to give comfort to others and during this time he said to him
there was nothing in the early age and or he did not desire for
the world. ”
Afterward, he said “ When he became the disciple of Sheikh
Fariduddin there was a great change in the habits. Because the
Shaikh upon getting the world he did ignore it. Afterward, he
said before this my sustenance was less and at that time, there
was a time of difficulty. One day one person came untimely and
he brought half of the bag so I told him today passed and the
things of necessities were used and it will spend it in the
morning and then he was engaged in the worship of Allah, then
half bag caught me to edge of the shirt and its choice and when I
saw this thing I prayed Allah “ Oh My Lord when the day break
will be and when I will spend it.”
The saintliness
On Saturday on fifth Safar in the year 710 Hijira, I was
sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and discussion about
691
the persons of saintliness was started. And he said “ They can

fly in the air.” He said with his holy tongue “In Badayun one
Zakir (one who remember Allah) used to live there and he had
pulpit with the wall. On that wall on the upper of pulpit there
was a window as per the size of a man and in that window, there
was one marble and on which nobody could not sit there. At the
time of invocation of Allah when there will be condition prevail
upon him then he used to fly and sit there in the window.”
He told one more story that “Once one Hindu ascetic came
in the presence of Sheikh Safiuddin Gawarzni as a claimant and
they began arguing and he told the Sheikh to show any miracle.
So Sheikh told him you are claiming so you should show in this
matter. The Hindu ascetic flown from the earth and he came
back to earth. Then he sat there and told him to show something.
Sheikh Safiuddin Gawarzni saw the sky and he said “ Oh: My
Lord you have given such status so give him also such position
of an unrelated person. Afterward, Sheikh Sahib was flown from
his place in the Western side toward the Kaaba and then he went
to the North side and again towards the Southern side and he
came back to his place. Upon seeing this Hindu ascetic was
surprised and he was falling down at his feet and he said “ We
can only do to fly in the air in a straight way and come back
from there and cannot do anything in this matter. But you have
flown all sides as per your wish so it is the truth. We are on the
wrong way.” About this intentional action, he told one story. “
Once one Hakim (philosopher) brought his book to the caliph so
that to mislead him from the way of truth and the caliph was
beginning his interest in that knowledge. So when this news was
reached to Sheikh Shabuddin Suherwardi then he said: “ When
the caliph will be inclined towards this knowledge, then there
will darkness and misleading will spread in the world.” Upon
692
this, he stood and he was reaching for the door of the caliph and
so the information was sent inside of the palace about the arrival
of the Sheikh. So he was asked to enter the palace and upon his
reaching inside, he was seen that caliph and the philosopher
were busy in their discussion of about that knowledge. He was
asked, “ What they are doing there.?” They said “ There is
special matter. When it was asked for it for many times, then
philosopher told him, now we are discussing the movement of
the sky is natural and there are three kinds of it which are as
follows. ”
1.Natural
2.Iradi (Intentional)
3.Qasri
1. The natural is that movement in which the body will move
naturally like a stone if it will be thrown by hand will reach
towards the earth.
2.Iradi (intentional) is such a movement which will move as per
its desire and intention and Qasri is such movement which takes
help from some other source like a stone which is thrown in the
air and it will be coming down to the earth when its movement
will be decreased and this movement is called natural. Now we
are discussing that the movement of the sky is natural and
Sheikh Sahib told that the movement of the sky is the Qasri then
he asked how it is.? He said, “ There is an angle in its shape and
face and in despicable look who will give movement to it as per
saying of the Prophet of Allah.” Upon listing this, the
philosopher was laughing.
Afterward, Sheikh Sahib was brought the caliph and
philosopher outside of the palace and he said to see toward the
sky and he himself prayed “ Oh: My Lord whatever you show to
693
your special persons and show them.” When they saw they find
in reality that there is one angel is moving the sky. Upon seeing
this, the caliph was leaving his religion and he came back in the
fold of the religion of Islam and his belief was become firm
resolve.”
The Sheikh of Islam Sheikh Fariuddin
On the Monday on the 7th Rabil Awwal in the year 710
discussion about Sheikh of Islam Fariduddin was started. Then
he told with his holy tongue that “ He used to breakfast with
one cup of juice and in which he used to put so much parched
barley meal that from which he will give to the persons in the
meeting place half or 2/3 of it and some of it he will put in one
bowl and the remaining of it he used for himself. For this
portion, he used to give it to anybody who ever he likes.
Afterward, before prayer, he used to bring two pieces of
bread with butter, which will be in weight of less than one
kilogram. And pieces of it will be served to the people. For that
special bread, he used to give it to anybody who ever desire it.
After evening prayer, he used to engage in the remembrance of
Allah. Upon these endeavours pieces of cloth for serving of
meals was used to bringing and on which it will be placed all
kinds of food items and which will be distributed to all persons.
Afterward, he did not eat the food until the next day of fast-
breaking time. Upon this, he said he was suffering the illness of
lacuna and during this illness he was dead.”
Khwaja Sahib said “ Once on the condition of good health
he was present in his service. Then at that time he prepared for
the rag spread on which he was sitting in the daytime and he
used to sleep on it in the night time and which is small and not
694
covered up to his feet and the feet will be left outside of it and
on it he will place another piece of cloth. If he will move it
towards the upper side, then the bed will remain empty. There
was one staff with him and which he was getting from Shaikh
Qutubuddin which is used to keep at the head side of the bed.
On which used to keep a pillow and make the rest of it. Many
times when he will use to touch the staff, then he will kiss the
hands.”
Afterward, he said “ One day in this disease, he said to me
and my friends go to that tomb and pray for his health and he
was asked to be waking up in the night. So we have done like
that. So some more friends went into his service and they took
tiffin with them and they were staying in the night there. We
have prayed and at the day break, we came back in the service of
the Sheikh and stood there. And we said that we were woken up
in the night as per order and prayed for him. Then after a short
period, he said there is no effect for your prayer for his health.
Khaja Sahib said he was hesitant in replying but one friend Ali
Bahari, who is standing behind and he said we are all defective
persons and you are perfect. The prayer of making defective
persons will not be effect for the perfect persons. He has not
heard this saying. When I heard this, then told him in his
service. Afterward, he addressed towards me and he said: “ I
was desired by Allah that whatever you will ask of Allah that
thing is given to you.”
Afterward, he was awarded me his staff. During this time, the
compiler of the book told him whether he was present at the
time of death of his master.?. While weeping, he said “ No.” I
was sent to Delhi in the month of Shawwal and he left this world
on 5th Muharram and he reminded me at the time of the death
695
and he said a such and such person is in Delhi. He said also that
at the time of his master Sheikh Qututbuddin he was not present
there and at that time, he was in Hansi City. When he told this
story and began weeping very much and there was too much
effect on the persons who were present at the meeting place.”
Afterward, he told this story that “When there was
overpowering of illness on his master, but he used to breakfast
his fasting during the month of Ramadhan. One day he brought
melon and he made many pieces of it and he was given me one
piece of it. There was an idea came into my mind to keep fasting
of two months continuously in lieu of lapsed of fasting on this
day. And when it will be available such wealth. I was going to
eat it, but he told do not eat it. For him, it is permissible as per
Islamic law, but you should not eat. I asked his age and he said
he is 93 years old. On that day, there was given a speech by him
and upon hearing it, there was such liking that which could not
be described. When there was nightfall, then he was given me
special prayer mat after the Eisha night prayer.”
The prayer
On the Saturday on the 10th Rabbi Thani in the year 710
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at that
the discussion was started about the prayer. Then he said
“Before the fall of calamity there should be done prayer. In his
connection when there will fall of calamity, then there will be a
clash of prayer and calamity will be happening there. And which
will be strong, then it will be returned the other weak one. In this
connection, he said in a story that when the Tatari infidel
persons calamity was falling and when reached the news, then
the king of the place sends somebody in the service of Sheikh
Farid Uddin Attar for his prayer in this matter. He said the time
696
of the prayer is passed away. Now there is a time of willingness.

It means the calamity was sent down from Allah. So now be
content on the willingness of Allah. Afterward, he said we
should pray upon the falling of the calamity even though the
calamity will not be taken away, but its severity will be less.”
Patience and willingness
From here the discussion about patience and willingness
was started. He told “ The patient is the name of that thing when
there will be happen anything against of temperament to the
person then he should not make complain about this matter. The
name of the willingness of being that thing when there will
difficulty and in that situation, one should not abominate and he
should feel like that there is no difficulty was fallen on him.
Afterward, he said scholastics disapprove from this matter. And
they say that it is not possible that any difficulties will fall on
anybody and it will not feel as indifferent. He said there are
many explanations for it. One of it. Suppose it that one person is
walking on the way and the thorn has pricked and, for this
reason, the blood was discharged very much. But he is walking
so fast and so he could not know in this matter. After some time,
he will know this. It happened usually when somebody will be
engaged in the war when there will wound, then he will not
know it. When he will be returned back to his place then he will
come to know in this matter. When there will be usually
engaged, then you could not know about the wound. Then one
who will be engaged with Allah, then how he will come to know
about the calamities in this matter.?
The sight of the beloved and punishment
Afterward, he said “ At one place Qazi Nagori write that one
person was arrested for some blame and he has beaten 1000
697
cannings, but he did not make a sigh or complaint in this matter

and also there was no pain find in him.” After the punishment
when he was asked “Why there was no effect of the punishment
upon him.? “ He said when you were giving me a punishment
and at that time there was my beloved in my sight and who was
looking at me. Due to his look, there was no feeling of difficulty
for me. ”After this, he said with his holy tongue that “ When
there is such effect of worldly beloved so, then what will be the
effect of the truth and so its effect will be more than this.”
Tawakal (trust)
Afterward, the discussion about Tawakal (trust) was started
and he said “ There are three stages are there. Its first stage is
some person to hire the services of an advocate for his claim and
that advocate is also being his friend and learned person then, in
that case, that person will be unhesitating that he is having such
an advocate who is perfect in the works of claim work and also
he is his friend. In this case, there will be trust and there will be
a question. So he will never say his advocate to the reply of the
claim in this way and do this work like that. This is the first
stage of trust in which there are trust and question. Now the
second stage of Tawakal is trust and a question. The second
stage of trust is that if there will be a small baby and whose
mother feed milk to him and there will be Tawakal is there and
there is no question. And the baby will not say to give him milk
at such and such time and he only weeps and not demand it and
will not say to give him milk. In the heart of the mother, there
will be a confidence of kindness will be available there. The
third kind of trust is that when washer of the dead body will give
the movement the hands of the deceased and will act upon on his
way and then he will not question. So he gives him movement as
698
per his wish and wash the dead body and this kind is very great
and higher kind of trust.”
In the above meeting the food was brought there and one
person among the meeting place who was present there who said
in cheerfulness that “ He was present at such and such place, but
he his stomach was full and when he was seen Tathaj one kind
of bread then he could not control of his desire in this matter so
he was eating it.” So there was a discussion of cheerfulness
started. In this situation Khaja Sahib said “Once he went to see
Sheikh Jamaluddin Qatib of Hansavi at the time of Ishraq (mid
morning) time in the winter season and the Sheikh saw me and
recited one Persian poetry in which there was described of ghee
of cow and food items like Harees (Harees or Harissa (Arabic) is
a Middle Eastern dish of boiled, cracked, or coarse-ground
wheat, mixed with meat.) and bread. So I told him to mention, of
absent thing is backbiting. Then Sheikh Jamaluddin said I was
bringing all food items so he mentions them. So whatever he
said he was right there. And all food items presented there on a
piece of cloth serving of the dishes on meals.” In this connection
he told one story that “Once one person whose name was
Mohammed was present at the service of Sheikh Fariduddin and
the food was brought there, but one piece of cloth serving of the
dishes of meals was not there. So Sheikh told to put the bread on
the earth, so there was thought to come in the mind of the
persons who were present at the meeting that it was better if the
one piece of cloth serving of the dishes on meals was available
there. So Sheikh Sahib told to mark the earth with two fingers in
round shape and told to think this marking as a one piece of
cloth serving of the dishes on meals. Afterward, he said this is a
condition of the beginning.”
699
On the Friday on the 30th of month Rabbil Awwal, I was

sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. During this week, the
copyist was not feeling well due to not receiving of his salary.
When I was present in the presence of the Sheikh then he said “
He was met with such a good pious person few times and who
told me many things. Due to an excess of complaints, I could
not ask his name and title. Whenever he will see me then he
used to tell any story. When he met me the first time and he told
me that you will be by the will of Allah like that as per the
people’s belief in you. Afterward, Khaja Sahib praised his
conversation too much he told when he met with him a second
time, then he said in Behadur there was one person and whose
name was Sheikh Vandal and who was a great pious person. On
the Eid day when all the people were returning from the Eidgah
(the place where the prayer of Eid festival is performed) then
that person was looking at the sky and he said “ Today is Eid
(festival) day and every slave needs Eidi (festival gift) from his
owner. So he may be given a festival amount to him. ”When he
was told then a silk cloth was falling down from the sky on
which it was written We have given your soul's salvation from
the fire of hell. When the crowd was seen this they began
kissing his hands and feet and they began respecting and
honouring him greatly for this reason. During that time, one of
his friends came there and he told him you have taken the
festival amount from Allah so give me it. When Sheikh heard
this then he has given him the silk cloth to him. And he said “To
go and take this as your festival gift and on the day of judgment
myself and the hell will settle the matter between us.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said once again, there was meeting
with him then at that time he said “ To hear one more story from
him that in one city one rich Brahman used to live there. It may
700
be charged fines on him by the ruler of the city so he was taken,

his all his wealth and properties. After that Brahman who was
becoming poor and in anxiety was walking on the way and from
the other side his friend came over there and asked him what is
your condition with you.? Brahman said his condition is well
and fine. Then his friend told him all your belongings were
taken by you. So what will be good for him? He said my Genoa
(a sacred thread worn by Hindus) is with me. Upon telling this
story, Khaja Sahib addressed to me and he said to what do you
know from the speech.? I told help from innermost. I could able
to know that this story was told by him to my satisfaction. It
means if there will be available or not, wealth and property of
the world, then one should not feel happiness or worry in this
matter. If all of the worlds will be lost, then there should be no
fear in this matter, but there should be the love of Allah should
be there in the heart of the person. Due to thanks to Allah the
slave person was found from the Sheikh the same thing which is
available in his heart.
The dream
On the Friday on 14th Jamidal Awwal in the year 710 Hijira,
I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. I was seeing a
dream and I told the dream that Amir Alam Wal Wajhi is
distributing sweet to the copyist. So Khaja Sahib asked me
whether I was related to him. I told “ No.” He told me that “ He
will get something from an invisible source. In the second week,
I got something from invisible source and for which there was
no hope in this matter. It means on the Saturday of the 24th of
this month on which I saw the dream and from it after 11 days I
got something from an invisible source. In this way on that day,
Sheikh Sahib told many things about piousness and greatness of
701
Amir Alam Wal-Wajhi. While praising him, he said there was

one pious person of grace, who was obtained grace from Khaja
Ajal Shirazi. Once one pious person said on the pulpit “ Oh:
Muslims you should know in this matter that I have got grace
from Khaja Ajal Shirazi and tonight I wanted to give such grace
to my son, but there was command to give this grace to Amir
Alam Wal-Wajhi and after this I called Amir Alam Wal-Wajhi
on the pulpit and put the saliva from my mouth into his mouth.”
The excellence of month of Rajab
On the Sunday on the 9th Jamadil Awwal in the year 710
Hijira, I was sanctified to kiss the feet of the Sheikh and the
discussion about the excellence of the month of Rajab was in
progress. He told “During this month's supplication are accepted
and in this month, four nights are very holy it means first night,
first Thursday, 15th night, and the 27th night which is known as
the night of accession of the prophet.”
The supererogatory prayers
Afterward, he said “The person who will perform
supererogatory prayers in lieu of the lapsed prayer, then those
prayers will be adjusted in this matter.” Upon this, he said “
Imam Abu Hanifa used to perform the lapsed prayer for five
times.”
Declaration and repentance
On Sunday on the 13th of the month of Rajab in the year 710
Hijir, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. He told
with his holy tongue “ When Salik (as a Salik (Arabic: ‫)َس اِلك‬, a
Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism) will
be on the right path of the pledge of his master then whatever he
was done by him before which will not be accountable.”
702
During this time, he said “One more story that in the village
Loher in which a person called Merajuddin was used to live
there and when I reached there and stayed in his house and he
and his community persons were belonging to the disciples of
the Sheikh Fariduddin. On that day some people of that place
where began fighting with Merajuddin and his community
persons and during the fight, they told them un-suitable words in
which there was find blame. His woman replied them that
“Whatever you say so to think about her in this matter that
things were in her before or after her pledge ”and when she said
then he said “What a good thing that woman said?.”
The sustenance
On the Tuesday on the 29th Rajab in the year 710 Hijira, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at that time
one person came there to ask him his help for his condition so he
told him “For the removal of poverty to read every night Sura
Juma. ” Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Fariduddin used to say to
read on every Thursday. But I will say that it may be read in
every night. But I did not read for myself, but I used to read it
for others.”
The Sufi dress
During this time, he told one story that “ Once he was
passing from the meeting of such persons and who were in Sufi
dress. One among them was saying to another that his
sustenance will become better and there will be available
sources and your sustenance will be increased. I want to tell him
Khaja Sahib the dress in which you are wearing and such
persons of this dress will not make such interpretations. Then
came an idea that what is his personality that to reply him in this
matter. So without saying anything, I was passed from there.”
703
When Khaja Sahib ended this story, then the person who came
there for help told him, “Oh: master for the person the increase
of sustenance and the sources of the provisions are musts.”
Khaja Sahib smiled and he said, “ I told you this story about my
condition and which is not belonging to his condition.”
The renewal of pledge
On the Thursday on the sixth of Rajab in the year 710
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. On that
day along with other friends I have renewed my pledge, and in
this connection he told one story that “ When the Prophet of
Allah was determined to visit Makkah then before conquering of
Makkah, he was sent Hadrat Usman bin Affan (R.A.) to make as
a messenger there. During this period the prophet of Allah was
getting the news that Hadrat Usman bin Affan (R.A.) was
martyred there. Upon hearing this news, he called his
companions to make a pledge to fight with the people of
Makkah and for renewal of the pledge and at that time Prophet
of Allah was sitting with the support of the trunk of a tree. This
pledge is known as ‘Bait of Redwan’. During this period one
companion was there and whose name was Alku who was
coming there and make a pledge there. The prophet asked him
“Whether you have made pledge with him before or not.? ” And
he said, “Yes, but, this time, wants to renew it.” The prophet
makes his pledge and afterward Khaja Sahib said: “ The renewal
of the pledge was started from there.”
The pledge with the dress of the Sheikh
Afterward, he said “ If any disciples want to renew his
pledge, then if Sheikh is not, find so then he can renew his
pledge with his dress.” During this period, he said “There is no
surprise in this matter that Sheikh Fariduddin was doing the
704
same many times in this matter. Myself was done this many
times in this matter.”
The Belief of the disciple
Afterward, the discussion about the belief was started and
he said “ He was heard by the tongue of Sheikh Rafiuddin, and
who was the Sheikh of Islam in Awardh and he used to say that
he was related to him and he himself was a disciple of Sheikh
Al-Ajal Shirazi. Once this disciples were arrested for the blame
and they want to kill him. The executor stood him in the
direction of Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer)
and for this reason, his back was facing the grave of his master
so for this reason he was changing the direction. And after this,
he was changing his direction towards his master. The
executioner told him of this situation and his direction should be
towards Qibla so why he is changing the direction.? He said he
was changing the direction of his Qibla (master) so do your
work. With this story he told another story that once he was on a
journey and he was feeling very difficulty in one destination,
even though he was on a horse, but suffering due to thirst so get
down at the bank of water from the horse to drink water and but
I was feeling very severe thirst and there was pressure of bile
upon me and I was becoming unconscious and there were voices
of Sheikh, Sheikh from my tongue and after some time I was
coming back in the normal condition. In short upon this, there
was confidence about the result of my work and I hope that with
the help of Allah, my end will be upon his remembrance.”
On the Sunday on the 23 of the month of Rajab in the year
710 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and at
that time the discussion about the visits of graves was started. So
then he said “When my mother was used to becoming ill, then
705
she asked him to visit such martyr and go to visit the tomb of
such and such pious person. So I was used to going there as per
her instructions. Then she will say there is a decrease in her
illness and there is relief in her difficulty.”
Afterward, he said “ When Sheikh of Islam Fariduddin was
becoming ill, then he asked me to visit the graves of martyr
persons there and when I came back from there, then he told me
that there is no effect of my prayer for him. So I could not reply
him in this matter. One of friend Ali Bahari, who was standing
at the backside and who said we are not perfect and the
personality of the Sheikh is blessed and perfect. So how the
prayers of imperfect persons will be effective for the perfect
persons.? Khaja Sahib said the Sheikh did not hear this talk.
Afterward, I told him this talk. Then he told I have desired from
Allah that whatever he want should be done. Upon this he was
given me his staff to me and then he told me you and Badruddin
Ishaque go there in that tomb and be engaged there and so we
went there and throughout the night we both were engaged there
and when we were coming from there then he said there is some
effect of it.”
The Qatam (finish) of Sura Fatiha
During this time, he told this story. “ One time he told me it
is better that you and other friends to recite 100,000 times Sura
Fateha and inform your friends in this matter. I have informed
them and everybody was accepted to recite some quantity of it.
One friend accepted 5,000 times and another person 4,000 and
others agreed to recite it some more and others less. I have
accepted 10,000 times to recite it and we have completed the
Qatam (finish) of it in the one week time.”
Afterward, the compiler of the book asked whether all this
706
happened during the period of illness. ? He said “No, it was

happening before it. But did not know in this matter and maybe
there are any reasons for it.”
Imam Naseri
On the Saturday on the seventh month of Zequad in the year
701 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
exegesis book of Quran of Imam Nasiri was available there and
at that time, the discussion about Imam Naseri who wrote the
exegesis of the Quran was started that “ Once there was illness
occurred to Imam Sahib and in that illness, there was a
consternation to him. So the relatives thought that he was dying.
So they have buried in the graveyard. When there was nightfall
he re-gained back conscience and he finds himself in the grave.
In that condition of surprise and in uneasiness he was reminded
that those who will read Sura Yasin for 40 times in the condition
of anxiety so, then Allah will give him comfort from uneasiness
and there will be available one way there. So he began reciting
Sura Yasin and when he was completing the recitation of 39th
times, then he was found the effects of easiness and it is
happening that one thief of shrouds for the greed of shroud he
was started digging of the grave and Imam Sahib was able to
know that he is a thief of shrouds and he started reciting Sura
Yasin slowly so that for his wish he could dig the grave. In short
when he was completing the recitation of Sura Yasin for 40
times, then he was slowly coming out of the grave. When the
thief of shrouds saw him and he was dying there due to fear. So
Imam Sahib was regret due to the death of the thief of the
shrouds and its meaning is that he should be silent there so that
he will be taken away his shroud from his body. When he came
out then he thought that if the people will see him, then suddenly
707
they will be afraid so he came back to the city and he began

saying slowly that as he's suffering from illness of death soon so
they put him in the grave. Khaja Sahib said upon this event,
Imam Sahib wrote the exegesis of the Quran.”
Afterward, the discussion about such person started who are
always busy in the religion and they are away from the
consciousness of food and drink. And whatever they do for the
religion. He said “One pious Sheikh used to reside on the bank
of the river and he had his wife and one day he told that woman
to give the food to that fakir (Darwish) who is sitting on the
other side of the river. The woman told him the river is very
deep, so how she would cross it.? The Sheikh told her to say at
the bank of the river that gives her a way to the dignity of my
husband who never did intercourse. The woman was surprised at
this matter and she thought in her mind that she had many
children with him and her husband is telling that he did not do
intercourse with her. In brief, as per her husband's instruction
she went at the bank of the river and she said the same words as
per above instruction of her husband, then the river gave her
way and she crossed the river and she went to see the Darwesh
and she was given him food there and he was eaten the food.
The woman thought that she came there as per the above
method, but how she will return back from there. ? And
Darwesh asked her how she came there so she told him all the
details on this matter. So Darwesh told her “ Yes to go and tell
the river to give the way as per honour of the Darwesh who did
not eat any kind of food since the period of 30 years. The
woman surprised that Derwesh was eaten just now food in her
presence and he is saying like this. So she said the same as the
bank of the river and she got the way into the river and she came
back on the other side of the river. She asked the husband to tell
708
her the secrets of these two matters that you have with her doing
intercourses since many years and that Darwesh was eating food
before me and you both of you have got the way by telling false
to the river and what wisdom is there in this matter.? The Sheikh
told her you to know in this matter, I have not done intercourse
with you due to the desire of the soul and in this same way that
Darwesh never ate food due to the desire of the soul but only for
the worship and obedience of Allah. So as per that requirement
he did not eat any food. From these two matters, it is known that
the pious persons, whatever used to do only for the for the sake
of Allah and their intention will be for the sake of truth only.” In
this situation, he told about Sheikh Qutubudin Bakhtiar that his
sons were born a twin and one of them was dying in his early
age and the other was grown up. The one who was growing up
and his conditions were not similar with the Sheikh and shape
and the figure was not same. Afterward, he said Sheikh
Qutubuddin’s son Sheikh of Islam Noor Allah was in higher
height. In brief, when the youngest son of the Sheikh was dying
and when he was coming back to the house after his burial and
he found his wife was crying there which the Sheikh was heard
and he said while putting his hand, on the other hand, start regret
in this matter so Shaikh Badruddin Ghazni who was presented in
his service told him how this regret is.? He told now he is
feeling regret that “ Why he did not request Allah so that my son
will get longer life. If he should wish then it will be sure
accepted by Allah.” Khaja Sahib sees his high level of
engrossment that he did not know about his son till his living in
the world.
The prayer
709
Afterward, the discussion about the praying was started and

he said “ At the time of prayer one should not think about the
sins which were done by him and should not think about his
obedience and worship. If he will like that then the prayer will
not be accepted then it is a great matter of surprise. If there will
be thinking of sins in the mind, then there will be laziness in the
belief of the prayer. So at the time of prayer, there should be
look at the mercy of Allah. There should be a belief that the
prayer will be accepted surely. He also said at the time of prayer
the both hands should be open at the level of breast and it is also
mentioned that both the hands should be together closely and
both should at the be upper side. The face should be like that
something he will be getting. In this connection, he said the
prayer will be for the satisfaction of the heart. Allah knows
better that what should be done in this matter.?”
The belief of the disciples
Afterward, the discussion about the belief of the disciples
was started. He said “My previous neighbour’s name is
Mohammed and who will be affected by an illness of running
sore every year and he used to suffer very much due to this
illness. When I started in the service of Khaja Fariduddin, then
he asked me to bring the talisman from the Sheikh. When I was
present in the service of the Sheikh Sahib then I told about the
illness of that man and he asked me to bring talisman and he told
me to write talisman. I said Khaja Sahib that I have written the
talisman and it was given to Khaja Sahib. He has seen it, then he
has returned me back and he told me to give it to that person.
When I have come back to my city, then I have given it to him.
Then after that, he never suffered from that disease. One person
among the meeting place said what you have written on that
710
talisman.? Khaja Sahib said he wrote “ Allah Shafi Allah Kafi

Allah al-Mafi.” And something more which I could not
remember at this time.”
Regarding the belief, he said “One day he was sitting in the
service of Sheikh Fariduddin and at that time one hair from his
beard was fallen in his lap so I told him that I want some items
with him so permission is required in this matter. He asked me
what.? I told him that hair, which is fallen from the hairs of the
beard in his lap and if there will be permissible, then he will
keep it in his sight as a talisman. He said “Yes.” So I took that
hair with great respect and honour and put it in the cloth and
brought it to the city. Khaja Sahib said with weeping that he was
seen great effect from that hair. Whenever any patient will
come for a talisman, then I used to give it to him. And keeping
to it for some days with the patient so the patient will become
well. One of my friends Tajuddin and his younger son was
becoming ill, then he asked me for talisman so I searched for
that hair, which I could not get it so he went back helplessly and
in such illness his son was dying. When after some days one
more person came for talisman so I find the hair where I was
kept. Khaja Sahib said at the age of the boy was completed so
for this reason that the talisman was disappeared.”
Poem and prose
On the Wednesday on the 16th of the month Zeqad in the
year 710 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh
and at that time the discussion about poem and prose was
started. Then he told with his holy tongue that “ The good thing
which is heard and from which there will be pleased and the
meaning which should be expressed in the prose and if it is said
in a poem then there will be more delight in this matter. So if the
711
good thing is said in a good voice, then, in that case, there will
be more pleasure. During this period, the compiler of the book
told him that he could not find such request in anything other
than Sama. He said the people of Tariqat (mystic way of life)
and persons of fondness had such liking and due to this, they
create fire. And if it will not be found, then there will not find
existence and in existence, they would have found very much
fervour.”
During this period, he began weeping and he said “ He was
seeing something in his dream so he recited one line of poetry
and in which there was some mistake in the words which I was
corrected when I wake up. The meaning and its interpretation of
the one line of poetry is as follows.”
“ Oh: friend I am waiting to be killed by your sword ”
The truth of devotion
On the Tuesday on the 13th of Zil-Hajj in the year 710
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. And at
that time the discussion about the truth of the devotion was
started. He said “ Sheikh Fariduddin’s one disciple was
employed in the army and his name was Mohammed Shah and
whatever he will determine, then he will see the Sheikh in the
dream and in the condition he will see the Sheikh then he will
explain the dream of interpretation. Once he was determined to
go India and in the night he has seen the Sheikh in his dream and
who was going to Ajodhan. So when he was waking up, he
decided in mind that he should go Ajohdan while cancelling his
trip to India. He didn't hear anything from the Sheikh nor he
finds any signal. In brief, in that journey, he was found very
much comfort and facility. And Khaja Sahib told Shah
Mohammed was belonging to a place of Ghour and who visited
712
Makkah in his last period of his life and after that, there was not
found any news of him.”
Becoming of disciple of one person
On Saturday on the 15th of Muharram, month in the year
711 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and
he told with his holy tongue that “ There was one pious person
and with him one person became his disciple and he got the
saintly dress as per the custom of this work. After some period
of time Sheikh was coming to know that that person was
following bad deeds, so then he visited his house and he told
him to come into his house and stay there. Why are you making
him famous? Come to me, I will be keeping secrets for you.
Upon hearing the disciple put his head on the feet of the Sheikh
and he renewed his pledge and repented in this matter.”
When he ended this story, then the compiler of this book told
that “ This matter is universally admitted that the master will see
the affairs of the disciple mostly. If he will not look into the
affairs of the disciples then how he will be able to the see the
deeds of the disciples.? And he will look at the devotion of the
disciples and he will find faith as well then there will be possible
any hope to the disciple.” He told “ Indeed, in this matter the
main thing is the rule of faith and it is same like the faith in
manifestation. And in the same way, the belief in the innermost.
The disciple should have correct beliefs in the unity of Allah and
on the prophet and messenger mission of Allah’s last Prophet
Mohammed (peace be upon him). Also, in the same way, the
disciple should have correct belief in his master. As due to sins
the Momin (faithful) will not become infidel person and in the
same way due to correction the disciple will not disappoint from
the mistakes and if his belief will be correct then there will be
713
hope of correction in this matter.”

Afterward, the discussion of the reading of the holy book
Quran and its Hafiz (one who knows the Quran by heart) was
started. I have asked him, “ If it was not memorized then how
the reading of the book of the Quran by seeing it.? ” He said “It
is very good. There will be pleasure while sees it and reading it.”
Afterward, he said “The Sheikh used to tell anybody to
memorize the Holy Quran then ask him to memorize Sura
(verse) Yousuf first so then due to its blessing that person will
memorize the whole Quran. In this situation he said “The
prophet of Allah said one who want to have the intention of
memorization of the Quran and without memorization if he will
die and when he will be put in the grave, then the angles come
there and give him one lemon from the paradise and with eating
of it than he can memorize the whole Quran and he will raise as
Quran-conner on the day of the judgment.”
The wise Dervish
Afterward, the discussion about the Darwesh persons was
started. He said “ Those who are Darwish people there are
available pious characters in them. He said I have seen such
attributes in Moulana Shahabuddin Mirati, Moulana Ahmed and
Moulana Kaithly. About Moulana Ahmed, he said that he was a
pious person of Allah and he was Quran-conner. Once he was
determined to visit Sheikh Kabir after his death in the limits of
Sarasati, he was met with Moulana Ahmed. He said when you
will reach the mausoleum of the Sheikh then to convey salam
there and say that I do not want the demand of the world and
there are many people who demand it. Also, he did not want the
other world. I only want that Allah sends upon death him, in
714
which he will die in the condition of the Muslim and to give me

a chance to meet with pious persons.”
Afterward, he said “About Moulana Kaithly that he was a
very pious and blessed person. Even he did not have any
concern with any person. But he was seen many pious persons.
When I was seeing him the first time, then able to know by his
speech that he is a man of saintliness. There was something in
my mind which I have asked him and he replied that thing is like
this.” Khaja Sahib began weeping and he said “ If that thing will
be asked by 100 jurists then it will not be solved. About his
manners, he said once he came to see me and during that time
my servant Basheer still who was very young at that time and he
misbehaved with him so I beat him with a cane, then Moulana
Kaithtly felt the pain of that stroke of the cane on him and he
began weeping. And he said this is my misfortune that there was
a pain was happening to him. Khaja Sahib said upon seeing his
kindness, there was tenderness upon him.”
About his piousness he told “One story with his holy tongue
that there was starvation in Delhi in those days and the event of
Malik Qutubuddin was happening, then I went to the Parsi
Bazaar to purchase the food from there and when I purchased
food, then there came an idea with me that I should not be eaten
alone and there should be some fellow person to share the
morsels (food) together. I have seen one fakir (Darwish) wearing
the rag dress there and who passed from me. I told him,
gentleman, you are a Darwish person and I am also Darwesh one
and away from home. And it seems that you are also a traveler.
Please come so that we both should eat food together. That
Darwish agreed in this matter. We both went to the baker shop
and eat the food there. During this period, I have seen him and I
715
told I have 20 bags of money, which I want to stock in the bags.

Darwesh told him to eat food with generosity and I will give you
bags. In my mind there came an idea that how this man of
broken dress will give me the bags of money. In short, after
eating of the food he took me to the mosque and there was a
grave on the back side of the mosque. On that grave, he stands
there and he recited some thing and with the stick in his hand he
strikes at the grave three times and he said this Darwish require
20 bags of the money so give them to him. Upon saying this, he
looked at the sky. And he said Moulana go you will get them.
Upon saying this, he kissed my hand and he was returned back
from there. I was with surprise that from where I will get the
bags of money. I have one letter to me which I have to deliver to
someone's house. So on that day, I went to deliver that letter.
When I reached at the gate of Kamal then I find one Turk person
was sitting on the balcony and when he saw me then he called
me and he sent some slave persons behind me and they took me
upper side. They took me to the first floor and there one Turk
person met me with cheerfulness and politeness. I have tried my
best to recognize, but I could not recognize him. The Turk
person told me that he is not that learned person who did the
pious deed to him as such and place so I told him no I did not do
any good deed. He said him, “He recognized him and why he is
keeping this hiding with him.” In short, he brought 20 bags of
money and he put on my hand with regret.”
Khaja Sahib said “ About the life of Moulana Kaithly that he
did not use to eat food always alone and it was his habit and
which make his way pious and then what will be the position of
his other manners?.”
Afterward, he said “ While travelling I have reached in the
716
limit of Sarasti. I have heard that yesterday there was an event of

robbery happened in this way and many Muslims were killed by
Hindus and among them there was learned person and whose
name was Kaithli and he was reading Quran and he was
martyred in that condition. Then he said there was an idea in his
mind that it may be sure that he will be Moulana Kaithli and
when I watched dead bodies and recited Sura Fateha and saw
carefully and I find he was Moulana Kaithli.”
On the Wednesday of the 3rd month of Rabbil Awwal in the
year 710 Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh
and at that time I was present in his service after a gap of one
month and there was no such absence before. He said “ I was
reached there when their discussion about the learned persons
was in progress. ” So I paid respect to him again.
Afterward, he said “ It was the habit of Khaja Shams Malik
that when any disciple or friend used to be absent then he will
say to him, “ What I have done such work that you are absent.”
Afterward, he said “While smiling and in cheerfulness mode
and he used to say what I have done such work that you did not
come so that I will do as per your desire.” Upon this he said “ If
I will be absent or will reach there in late then in my mind there
will be idea came that he will be saying the same thing and after
this he recited one couplet of Persian poetry and he began
weeping so, for this reason, there was tenderness on all the
persons who were present at the meeting place.” Among the
person in the meeting asked him, “ When he used to attend in
the presence of Shams al-Malik then he used to respect him very
much.? And he used to ask him to sit in the balcony in a special
place.” He said “ Yes in the place he used to sit and where Qazi
Fakheruddin Naqla, Burhanuddin used to sit there. And
717
whenever he used to ask me to sit there, then I will tell him this
is the place of your sitting and I used to make many excuses, but
he will not accept any of it and he will say to sit there. One
person among the meeting place said once he was getting
employment. Khaja Sahib said “Yes, once he was appointed as a
higher grade accountant. Khaja Tajuddin Reza was said one
couplet about him.”
The compiler of the book said “Khaja Shams Malik’s
piousness is well known for his plenty of his knowledge. But
who knows that he was connected with Darwish persons or he
loved them. Khaja Sahib said his belief was very good and he
used to respect him very much and from this it is known his
belief. ”
On the Wednesday of the 24th Rabil Awwal month in the
year 710 Hijira , I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
At that time, many of friends touched his feet together. He asked
“ Whether they came from one place ”and they said “From
different places, but were gathered here.” He said “It is better to
come separately because Sheikh Fariduddin used to say this that
there will be a casting of malignant look which is the right
thing.”
Afterward, the discussion about this began and he said “
There will be sure effects of Nazar (malignant look) and magic.
Mutzela (non-conformists) did not believe in this matter. And
they say there will be no effect of Nazar (malignant look) and
magic. So they are mistaken in this matter. From here the
discussion about Maunat (help), miracle and Istadraj
(accession) was started. He said “Miracles are the work of the
prophets and whose knowledge and acts are perfect and they
belongs to the people of Wahi (revelation) and whatever there
718
will appear from them is known as miracles. The Karamat

(miracle) is that which is appeared by pious persons and they are
also perfect in knowledge and actions. And there will be only
difference is that whatever is appear from them is called
Karamat (miracle). Then Maunat, this is the meaning of help
that some mad persons who do not have knowledge and action
and any time they will do some things against their habits and
which is called Maunant (help). There is a group known as
Istadraj and who do not have any touch of faith like the people
of magic and who will commit such things.”
Discussion about conduct
Afterward, the discussion about on conduct was started and
he said there are three kinds of manners are as follows.
1.Hisse (sensation)
2.Aqli (wisdom)
3.Qudsi Hissi is like eating and smelling and from which they
know his (sensation) is found. There are two kinds of wisdom,
Kasbi and Badhe. But one who will reach in the celestial world
and he will acquire a skill and which is known as Badhi (self-
evident truths). He then said “ Badhi person does not know the
knowledge of the celestial world. And this is the work of
prophets and pious persons. Afterward, he said the signs of that
person on which the door of celestial world is opened and he is
that person on which the door of wisdom is opened for him. And
on him due to his Badhe (self-evident truths) or other matter is
known to him, then he will feel comfortable. And he will not get
the way of the celestial world.”
During this period he told “The story about one learned
person and who used to say that everything will reach into his
heart by invisible source and if Allah wills then he can write
719
them. He wrote so much, but in the last he wrote whatever there

was his object he did not able to write it.”
The Mutazala (non-conformists) group
Afterward, the discussion about the Mutazala group was
started and he said these people used to say that the infidel
persons and the big sinners will be always in the punishment. He
said “ This is a there mistake with them. The reality is like that
the infidel persons will be always in the punishment. Because
they used to have a belief in the worship of the idols and they
are their lords. As this is their perpetual belief, so they are firm
on infidelity so, for this reason, their punishment will be
permanent. But those who do big sins and but they did not
involve in it for always. Sometime they will be away from the
sins. And they know that whatever they did is bad by them. So it
should not do with them. So as such, they will not follow big
sins constantly, so, for this reason, they will not get punished for
always.”
Afterward, he said “ The sinner will obey of the following
three things.”
1. He knows that whatever he is doing is not good.
2. He is known that whatever he is doing Allah knows it and
watching it.
3. There is hope of salvation and forgiveness.
All these deeds belong to obedient persons.
Afterward, he said “ In the religion of Ashar group, these are
found that the infidel person whose ending will be in the faith,
then they will be among Momin (faithful). And the faithful
whose ending will be an infidelity then he will be among
infidels. In this situation, he told this story of Khaja Hamiduddin
720
that he was told “In Nagore there was one Indian person was
there and to whom he said many times as a pious person. In this
connection, he told one saying of Imam Abu Hanifa that when
he was asked whether the infidel will live in the fire of hell on
the day judgment.” He said “No.” Asked “Why.?” He told “ On
the day of judgment when the infidel will see faith (Eman) and
they will accept it. But there will be no use of that faith there.
Because the faith should be invisible. So they will be sent to the
hell. But they will be in the category of Momin.” Afterward, he
said “Wama Khalq al-Jinn Wal-Ans Ella La Yabdoon.’ In which
as per saying of Ibn Abbas ‘Ellal Yahidun’ and its meaning is
that Jinn and the human beings who will become Muhid
(believing in the unity of God) in the faith. And one who has his
faith of Unitarian and which is built-on Gaib (invisible). And he
said “ When the infidel will see faith and will accept singularity
of Allah. So ‘Lilyahidun’ is right.”
Afterward, he said “ One who has eyes, then he should think
best for himself. Whether the seeing person will be obeyed or
infidel, disobedient or sinner because it may perhaps that
person’s obedience will be last obedience and his sin will be the
last sin.”
Afterward, he told “The story of Khaja Hasan of Basra that
who used to say when he will tell anybody then he will think
that person better than himself. But one day he thought himself
better and it was happening that one day he was seen one gypsy
who was sitting on the bank of the river and there was one long-
necked flask and from which he was drinking water from it for a
short while and there was one woman who sitting near him. So I
thought in my mind that even though whatever he is but he
himself is better than him. During this period, one boat was
721
drowned in the river in which there were seven people in it. And
all were drowning and the gipsy immediately jumped in the
water and he was saved six persons. Then he told me “ Hasan
you can save at least one person.” Then he told me there is water
in the long-necked flask and this woman is his mother. I was
sitting there only for your trail. Go, you are still a looker of the
outward condition.”
Afterward, he said “ About the reading of the holy Quran
that it should be read with distinct recitation (ba-turtle) and with
ba-tarvid. One person from the listeners from the meetings asked
what is the meaning of tarvid and he said “ When If there will be
more delight for the sake of the reading of any of Sura (verse)
then, in that case, one should read that Sura for many times. ”
He said “ When the Prophet of Allah wants to read
something, then there was a fervour upon reading “Bis Milla Ar-
Rahman Nir Rahim” so there was getting was conditioned upon
him so, for this reason, he read “ Bismillah” for 20 times.
Afterward, he said “ There are 8 kinds of ranks of the
Quran. He has mentioned five kinds of it.”
1. The mind of the reader will be towards Haq (truth) and if it is
not there, then there will be thought of the greatness and majesty
of Allah in the mind.
From the listener's in the meeting told “ Its meaning is that
there will be the attention of the mind in this matter.” He said
“No, that was toward the personality of Allah and this belongs to
attributes of Allah. If these two things will not be available then
there will take care of its meaning. ”
Fourthly, at the time of reading there will be overwhelming
722
thinking about the mind that how this wealth is suitable for me.
And who is me and to get his felicity. If it will be not possible,
then think this that he is reading for the sake of Allah and he will
get the reward of reading about it. During this time the compiler
of the book said “When he will read the holy Quran then there
will be ideas will come into the mind. During the time of
reading if there will be another idea, then he will say in mind,
then how is such thinking and doubt.? Then I will engage my
mind completely in this matter. And during this time, there will
be found of any Sura (verse) which is an obstacle of thing and it
will be there in thinking in mind or any Sura will be found and
due to which such difficult problem will be solved.” Khaja
Sahib said, “ This is good thinking and so do it in a better way.”
Discussion about leaving of the world
On the Wednesday on the 3rd Rabil Awwal in the year 710
discussion about the leaving of the world was started. He said “It
is the really wise thing that the world should be left.” He said “
If any person should advise that after his death that 1/3 of his
wealth and properties should be given to such person who is the
wisest person among all. So how to decide on this matter.?” He
said “ The wealth and properties should be given to such person
who has left the world.” From the listener's in the meeting told “
If that person who will leave the world, then how he will take
the wealth and properties.? ” He said “ It is a matter of
expenditure so it should be used in such expenditure.” Then he
said “ The meaning of the world is not gold and silver, but as per
the saying of one pious person, it is just like stomach pain and
one who eat a little food, then he also will belong to the person
who has left the world and one who will eat full of stomach then
723
he does not belong to the person who left the world.”

The Satan of Qannas
Afterward, he said “ Satan says one who will perform
prayers with full of the stomach, then he will embrace him. So
when he will come out after the performing of the two rakat
prayer, then it will be found that there will be his overwhelming
on him. He will be also run out far away from the sleeping
person who is hungry. So it should be guessed in this matter that
when the hungry person will be engaged in the prayer, then how
he (Satan) will hate from that person. From the discussion here
about the Satan and Satanic, apprehensions were started and he
said “ Qannas are such devils and who are always available in
the heart of the mankind. When the man will be engaged in the
worship of Allah, then Satan will be run out of there.”
Afterwards, he said “ Maulana Tarmazi wrote in the book
Naderl al- Usool that when Prophet Adam (A.S.) was coming
down on the earth from the paradise and one day Hawa (A.S.)
was sitting there. At that time, Satan came there and he was
brought Qannas with him and he told Hawa (A.S.) that “ He is
his son. So she should keep with her.” When Adam (A.S.) came
and he asked “ Who is this.?” Hawa (A.S.) told “He is the son of
the Satan.” He said “He is our enemy.” Upon saying he cut four
pieces of Qannas (devil) and placed those pieces on four
mountains. The Satan was called “ Oh: Qannas, Oh: Qannas ”
and he came out there in his first shape. ”
At that time Qannas came out there in his first shape, then
Satan left from there and Prophet Adam (A.S.) came there and
upon seeing the pieces of Qannas he asked “What is his
condition.?” Then Hawa (A.S.) told him all the details on this
matter. Then Prophet Adam (A.S.) was killed Qannas again and
724
be burnt to death him and throw away the ashes in the running
water. When he went from there Satan came there and he asked
with Hawa (A.S.) about Qannas and she told him all details that
Prophet Adam (A.S.) was killed and be burnt to death him. So
Satan again presented Qannas and when Prophet Adam (A.S.)
came and he finds Qannas there so he killed him and he was
eaten away. Then Satan came there and called “ Oh: Qannas,
Oh: Qannas ” so there was a voice of Qannas came from the
heart of Adam (A.S.). Then Satan told him “ To stay there and it
was his object in this matter.”
Getting predictions from the Quran
On the Wednesday on the 13th Rabil Awwal month in the
year 710 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
The discussion about the getting prediction from the Quran was
started. I was asked “ Is there any reference mentioned in this
matter is there for getting a prediction from the Quran.? ” He
said, “ Yes, there is a reference from the sayings of the holy
prophet.” Afterward, he said “ When you open holy book Quran
then opens it from the right hand. And not open from the left
hand. ”
Afterward, he told “ The story about Sheikh Bedridden
Ghaznavi and who said when he came to Lahore from Ghazni.
At that time, Lahore was completely habituated. I stayed there
for some period of time. Then from there when there was an
intention to travel and there was thought in my mind to go to
Delhi and sometimes it was desired to go back Ghazni and I was
in confusion, but there was so much attraction for Ghazni
because there were my parents brothers and other relatives and
friends were residing there. In Delhi except one son in law, there
was nobody there. In short, I have decided to get a prediction
725
from the Quran. I went into the presence of one pious person.
First, I have seen about my intention to stay in Ghazni and then I
find the verse of the punishment. For the intention of Delhi, I
have seen qualities of the Sura (verse) of the rivers of paradise
and attributes of paradise even though there was an idea in my
mind to go to Ghazni. But as per Quranic prediction came to
Delhi. When I have reached in Delhi and came to know my son
in law is in prison. So I reached for the door of the king, so that I
could inform the condition of my son in law there. I have seen
that he left of the house and in his hand there were some Rupees
were there. And he hugged me and he was very happy. He took
me to his house and he put Rupees before me. So there was
satisfaction in this matter. In those days, I heard the news which
came from Ghazni that the Mughal army came there and
attacked in the city and destroyed it and in that attack my
parents, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends were killed.”
Afterward, I said “ Did Bedridden Shaikh when came here
from Ghazni and he became a disciple of Sheikh Qutubuddin
Bakhtiar.” He said “Yes.” From here the discussion about
Hadrat Khaja Fariduddin was started. He said “ His work was
different. He left the creature. And he began and used to live in
the jungles and deserted areas. It means he was settled down in
Ajodhan and he used to eat Darweshi bread and other things
which are available in that area. For example Pelo (salvadora
persica, a local fruit), etc. And he was content to these items.
But there was no limit of coming and going of the mankind and
the door of the house will be closed at the time of midnight. It
means it was used to be opened always. Due to the grace of
Allah people used to bring all kinds of graces. And which are
available for the persons who visit there. There was no such
person was there who will not get anything. One who will come
726
there will get something from there. His life and his type of
powers were strangely of its kind. And which was not available
to any other persons. The new comer and the person who has
been in service for many years will be getting the same
treatment and in his look and his kindness and attention will be
available equally to both of them.”
Afterward, he said he heard from “ Badruddin Ishaq and
who says he was his bosom friend and servant of him. He used
to say everything to me. He used to take my advice in every
matter. He has intimacy with me and he was used to talking with
me. There was no work he did not use to say in privacy and
which in not suitable in a public place. It means in manifest and
innermost, his manner was same. So such person will be like a
wonderful world.
Sura Fateha
On the Tuesday on the 12th of Jamad al- Awwal month in the
year 710 Hijira , I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh and at
that time discussion about verse Fateha was started. He used to
recite the chapter Fatiha for the fulfilling of desires and wishes.
He said “ If there will be any important work or any difficulty is
there for anybody then he should read verse Fatiha as follows.”
First, recite ‘Bis Milla Ar-Rahaman Nir-Rahim’. To recite
Mim alphabet of Ar-Rahim with al-Hamad and when he will
reach on this then recite three times Ar-Rahman Nir-Rahim and
when he will finish Sura (verse) then to say Amin three times
then Allah will fulfill his work. Also, in this discussion of
Fatiha, he said “Whatever 10 things in the Quran which are
available and out of which 8 things are available in Sura
Fateha.” The ten things are as follows.
1. Personality
727
2. Attributes
3. Deeds
4. Remembrance
5. Next world
6. Purification of the manifestation
7. Mentioning of the pious persons
8. Mentioning of the enemies
9. War with infidels
10. Orders of the Islamic law
Afterward, he said “ Among the above ten things, the eight

things are available in Sura Fatiha which is mentioned as
follows.”
1.Personality of ‘Rabbil Alamin’ (Lord of the worlds),
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
‫اْلَع اَلِم يَن َر ِّب ِهّلّل اْلَح ْم ُد‬
2.The acts of ‘Ar-Rahman Nir-Rahim’
The Beneficent, the Merciful,
‫الَّر ِح يِم الَّرْح مـِن‬
3. Attributes of ‘Malik Yaumidin’, the Master of the day of
judgment.
‫الِّديِن َيْو ِم َم ـاِلِك‬
4.The mentioning of the ‘Eyaka Nabudu’ that is the other world,
it means “ Thee (alone) do we worship. ”
‫َنْعُبُد ِإَّياَك‬
5.Purification of ‘Eyyaka Nastin”, it means “ Thee (alone) do we
seek for help.”
‫َنْسَتِع يُن وِإَّياَك‬
728
6.The manifestation of ‘Ehdinass Siratal Mustaim Siratal Laizna

Anamta Alaihim’, it means show us the straight path of those,
on whom You have bestowed favours.
‫الُم سَتِقيَم الِّص َر اَط اهِد َنــــا‬
‫َع َليِهْم َأنَع مَت اَّلِذ يَن ِص َر اَط‬
7.Mentioning of ‘Gairal Maqzub’ it means the pious persons
Not the path of those who earn Thine anger. ‫الَم غُضوِب َغ يِر‬
8.Mentioning of ‘Walaz Zalin’ it means the enemies. Not of
those who go astray. ‫الَّض اِّليَن َو َال‬
So the ten things which are available in Quran and among
them eight things are found in the chapter Fateha. Only about
mentioning of the war with the infidels and the orders of Islamic
law are not found in it there. Then a discussion about Imam
Ghazali was started and he said “ His statements were as per
according to his re-search and he wrote in his book ‘Ahyal
Uloom’ that Al-Saum al-Nasif al-Sabere Wa-Saber Nesif al-
Eman’ and it means that the fasting is half patience and the
patience is half of the faith.”
Afterwards, he said “ The meaning of al-Saum al-Sabre and
first he explained about the reality of al-Saber (patience) is like
the overwhelming which is there due to greed and lust (hawas)
but on which there should be an excess of the overpowering of
truth (Haq) is required in this matter. ”
Afterward, he said “The reason of the excess of greed and
lust has been caused due to two reasons, one is anger and other
is lust. The fasting will overpower the lust. So from here, it is
known that the fasting is half Saber (patience). And Saber
(patience) is half of the faith (Eman). And about this he said
there are two things are available in the faith which is as
729
follows. ”
1. Belief
2. Deeds
The book ‘Awarif ’ of Sheikh Shahabuddin
Afterward, the discussion about the book Awarif of Sheikh
Shahabuddin was started and he said “ He has presented five
chapters of the book Awarif to Sheikh Kabiruddin and after that
he said “Whatever he was used to mentioning which is not
found and is not heard by anybody. Many times in his discussion
there will be very much attention of the people and they would
desire that they would die there at some time.”
Afterward, he said “ When this book was presented in the
service of the Sheikh and on the same day one boy born in his
house and the boy was named as Shahabuddin. ” Afterward the
discussion was started to the matter which he will be heard by
one person of grace in which there will be find a different kind
of fervor and if that same thing if which is heard with some
other person but there will be not find such delight and it is like
that such thing which is out from the place and it is decorated
with light of respect and in this connection he said the story of
one holy and person of grace, who used to lead the prayers in
one mosque and after the prayers, he used to tell in the mosque
the sayings and conditions of the learned persons from which
there will be comfortable to the listeners and there was one blind
person among them and who will get delight from those sayings.
One day that the Imam (leader of the mosque) was absent in that
mosque so in his place Mo’az’zin (one who shouts the call to
prayer) was explained the sayings and conditions of the learned
persons. That blind person asked “ Today who is explaining
stories. And that blind person said we do not want to hear the
730
sayings of the sinner person.” Afterward, Khaja Sahib while

weeping said if the dealings of the person if should not be pious
then there will be no effect in his sayings.”
On the Tuesday on the 18th of the Rajab month in the year
710, Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
And I said “ My dream in his service which I was seen on the
last night. The dream was that it was like morning time and I
was doing ablution for the morning prayer and prayer time is
very near. So very fast I have done ablution and performed
Sunnat (as per the practice of the prophet) prayer. And come to
know that just now the morning prayer is going to perform. So I
left for the prayer quickly so to get the prayer. But on walking
some distance I have come to know that the sun was rising. So I
was afraid that the time of the prayer will be over. At that time I
have raised my hands and given the signal to the sun and I told
due to the dignity of the Sheikh do not come out and upon
saying this, I find delight in the dream. And by that time my
dream was finished and there was still night time was there.
Upon hearing this Khaja Sahib was began weeping and he said
“One Naqib Mohammed Neshapuri was a very pious believer
and the God loving person was there. From his tongue, I was
heard that he was going one time to Gujrat and in those days,
there was a rule of Hindus on it. During the journey, two persons
accompanied by me and we do not have weapons with us.
Suddenly one Hindu came there and in his hand there was a
naked sword with him and in that condition, he came to us.
When he came to me then I told Sheikh Sahib to be present and
at that time that Hindu person puts down his sword and he said
give me shelter. We said we have given him custody. So he went
on his way and we have followed our way. Khaja Sahib upon
finishing this story said “ What’s that Hindu saw and what he
731
was shown to him.?”

On the Tuesday of the 2nd of Shaban, month in the year 710
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Shaikh. And at
that time discussion about the provision of food was started. He
told “ Darweshi (mysticism) is the name of this thing. That if
any person will come and upon saying of his salam there should
be provided food before him. And he himself should be engaged
in stories and sayings and with his holy tongue, he said there
should be the first salam and then giving food and then have a
conversation.”
On the Monday on the 8th Rajab month in the year 710
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. At that
time food was brought and eating was started. Khaja Sahib said
“One holy person said those people who will eat the food before
him, then he will find food in his throat and like that he is eating
that food.” One person among the listeners in the meeting told
“Once before Sheikh Abu Saeed, one person beat one bull with
stick and Shaikh Abu Saeed told it seems that he is feeling the
pain in this matter and that person who was there and he thought
it was wrong. Sheikh Abu Saeed was shown him his back and
on which there was a mark of the stick was there.”
Afterward, the story teller turns toward Khaja Sahib and he
told “This story which is similar to that story that the condition
of one thing is effected on the other thing. But I do not know its
reality. ? “
Upon this Khaja Sahib said with his holy tongue that “ The
soul will become powerful and reach its perfection, then it will
absorb the heart and then the heart will become powerful and it
will quench its mould. So due to its unity there will be an effect
of any matter on the heart, then its effect will be also there on
732
the mould.” The compiler of the book told “ This condition is

similar to the ascent of the prophet ” and he said: “ Yes it’s
right.” Upon this, he said “ He knows one saying of one holy
person that I do not know on the night of accession the prophet
was taken there where there is empyrean, the chair, heaven and
hell and whatever he was seen there or those things were
brought before where the prophet was there.” Afterward, he
said, “ If these things were taken there where the prophet was
there and in this condition the status and position of the prophet
is very great.”
The system of pledge
The discussion was started by the persons who does not
know the system of pledging. Some of them do first pledge and
then do the second pledge. Some persons will become disciples
at the mausoleum of the master. I told him “ Some of them will
go to the foot side of the mausoleum of the master by clearing
the hairs of the head and will become disciples. So whether this
system of the pledge is right.?” He said “No”.
Afterward, he told the story that “ There was one son of
Sheikh Fariduddin who was his elder son and who went to the
mausoleum of Sheikh Qutubuddin Bakhtiar and at the foot side
he was clearing the hairs of the head and he was becoming a
disciple. When the news reached to Sheikh Fariduddin, then he
told Sheikh Qutubuddin Bakhtiar is our reverend and master
(Maqdum) but this pledge is not right. The system of the pledge
is to hold the hand of the Sheikh.”
On the Wednesday on 21 Shawwal month in the year 710
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about the dream was started. He told “ In the olden
days there was one Turk was there. And who is called Enkash
733
and who was the man of Allah. One night he saw Allah in his
dream. And in the morning, he was explaining his dream in the
presence of Sheikh Najibuddin Mutakkawil and he asked him “
To swear that whatever he will say to him that he should not
disclose it to other persons ”and Sheikh Sahib accepted it. Upon
this “ He said tonight he was seen Allah in his dream and he was
explained lights and condition.” Sheikh Mutawakil says that “
Turk was lived forty years after seeming of that dream, but I
have not disclosed his dream during his life period to anybody.
When the time of his death came then I went near him and when
he saw me and told did you remember your promise about the
dream.?” I said “Yes”. I told him “ How is your condition” and “
He said now he is leaving from the world with the absorbed
condition.”
From here the conditions of Sheikh Najibuddin Mutwakil
were started. And he mentioned qualities of Sheikh Fariduddin
and he said “ In Delhi one Turkman was constructed one
mosque there. In that mosque, the leadership of prayers was
given to Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil and for him, he was
provided him one house. That Turkman married his daughter
and in which he was spending 100,000 Chitals, but actually he
spends more than this amount. One time Sheikh Najibudin
Mutwakil told him “ The perfect Momin (faithful) is such person
in whose heart there will be the love of Allah more than his
children. You have spent 100,000 Chitals in favour of your
daughter, but you have spent more than this. Now if you spend
double than this amount in the way of Allah, then you will
become perfect Momin (faithful).” The Turkman was becoming
angry for this matter and he was taking the leadership of the
mosque and the house. Sheikh Sahib went to Ajodhan from
Delhi and he explained all details to Sheikh Fariduddin.” Sheikh
734
Sahib told Allah says “ Ma Tansiq Min Ayat Wa Tansah Mat

Bakhair Minha Wa Mislaha ’’. And it means “The verse We
have cancelled and in its place, We sent down another verse. .
“Better than this there will be not paid attention to this work.”
Perhaps that Turk’s name is Etmer. Sheikh Sahib said “ If one
Etmer will go then Allah will bring another Etmer in his
place.” In those days a king named Etmer came in that kingdom
and who paid him great respect and honour to Sheikh Fariuddin
and his respectable family.
Afterward, the discussion about Sheikh Bedridden was
started and he said “ Nizamuddin architect who build for him
shrine building and Sheikh Bedridden was sat in that shrine
building. In those days, there was a disturbance in the work of
Nizamuddin so Sheikh Bedridden was sent the details in which
he was mentioned all conditions that one person was constructed
shrine building for me and now he is in bad condition and for
this reason, he is also facing bad condition. Sheikh Sahib sent
his message that the person who does not follow the steps of his
masters then he will face such conditions. It means there were
no customs of our masters of shrine buildings and those who
build a shrine building and sit in them, then he will face such
things.” After this, the discussion about Sheikh Qutubuddin
Bakhtiar was started and he said: “ He was memorizing the holy
book Quran in the last days of his life and when he has
memorized Quran then he was dying.”
Afterward, the discussion about the death of pious persons of
Allah was started. One person among the present in the meeting
place asked questions about the death of one pious person that “
When he was dying, he was saying slowly the name of Allah
and which was on his tongue.” Khaja Sahib was began weeping
735
and he said one Rubai (quatrain) in the Persian language.

On the Friday of the 26th Zeqad month in the year 710
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. In the
house which was opposite of the Central Mosque of Kelo Khakri
before the prayer the discussion about the learned persons of
Tariqat (mystic way of life) was started. Regarding those
persons who will engage in the invocation of Allah and also
about those persons who are used to engage in love and
repetition and they want to show themselves to such people.
Then he told one story that “There was one student called
Sharafuddin and who was possessing knowledge. One day he
was sitting in the presence Sheikh Fariduddin so the Sheikh
asked him what is his position on education.?” He said, “ Now
he was forgetting everything.” The Sheikh was angry with him
for this matter. When he went from there, then he said: “ This
person was becoming very much proud.” In short Khaja Sahib
ended this story and he began weeping and he said one more
story that “There was one master who was there and whose son
Mohammed was becoming perfect, then he wants to come into
the world of mysticism and so he told his father that he wants to
become Darwesh (mystic).” The father told him “ My son first
complete one Chilla (retire 40 days in mystic seclusion) and
when he finished Chilla and went back to see his father. Then
father asked him some issues and he was answering all answers
satisfactorily. The father told him “ My son still there is no
effect of the Chilla so going again and complete another Chilla.
When he was completed second Chilla then he went to see his
father. Then his father asked him some issues and for answering
he was made mistakes so he asked him to complete third Chilla.
When he was completed third Chilla then his father asked him
some issues, but at that time, the boy was engaged very much in
736
the invocation of Allah so he was not able to answer about the

world of mysticism.”
Dreams and its interpretations
Afterward, the discussion about the dream and its
interpretations was started. He said “ The prophet says “ He was
seen by his companions in the dream and everybody was
wearing dress and one companion was wearing dress up to his
chest and the second companion was wearing dress up to the
navel and the third one was wearing up to the knees but the
dress of Hadrat Anas was touching on the earth.” The
companions asked for an interpretation of the dream. He said, “
To understand the dress as religion.”
Ibn Siren’s interpretation of the dreams
Afterward, the discussion about Ibn Siren was started and he
said “His interpretation of the dreams was best and perfect. He
said one day one person came to see him. And he said, “ He was
seeing the journey of death in his dream.” Another person said, “
I was seeing Susan in the dream.” He said, “ You will be faced
bad thing.” He asked, “How.”? He said, “ Before of Susan there
is Su is there and its meaning is a bad deed or a bad thing.” The
compiler of the book asked “How was person Ibn siren?.” He
said, “ He was a pious person and a man of knowledge and who
lived in the time of Khaja Hasan of Basra.”
Afterward, he said “ Imam Ghazali wrote in ‘Ahyia Uloom’
that the predictions of the two dreams by Ibne Siren are really
wonderful things and which are as follows.
Once one person came to visit him in the month of Ramzan
and that person told him that “He was seen in the dream that
there is a ring on his finger and from which he is putting stamps
737
on the mouth of the men and on the female private parts.” He

said “ You are perhaps Muezzin (one who shouts the call to
prayer)” and he said “Yes”. He told him “ Why he is shouting
prayer call early in the night time.” The other person came and
he said: “ He was seen in the dream that the people are taking oil
from the foot and then I am going on filling in it.” He said, “
There is a woman in your house so investigate into this matter
that whether she is your mother.?” And he was investigated and
he find she was his mother.
Boils and eruptions
Afterward, the discussion about boils and eruptions and
similar type of the disease known as running sore was started.
He said “ One who reads Surah al-Burj during the Sunnah (as
per the practice of the prophet) prayer in the Asar (The late
afternoon prayer) payer then Allah will keep him safe from
diseases of boils and eruptions.”. “So, as running sore disease is
a similar type of illness like boils and eruptions so it will be
hoped that from this also he will be safe.”Upon this, he said, “
One who will read after late afternoon prayer Sura ( verse) al-
Naziat then Allah will not live him in the grave even for the
duration of one prayer .” Then he began weeping and he said: “
What will be the position of that person who will not live in the
grave ?and he said when the soul will reach its perfection then it
will pulling its mould.”
On the Friday on the 26th of Ziqad month of the year 711
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Before
the Friday prayer in the house which is in the opposite of the
Kilo Khehri mosque the discussion about the leaving of the
world was started. He told “ The Prophet of Allah told his
738
companions “ One Darwish was given the option that whether

he should like this world or another world.” The Dervish said,
“Whatever is there which is prepared for him in the other world
and which is liked by him.” When this story was ended. Then
Hadrat Abu Baker (R.A.) began weeping. The companions
asked him “What is matter.?” He said, “ The prophet mentioned
about the Darwish is he himself only.” When Khaja Sahib
reached at this point, then Sheikh Fariduddin said “ Such type
of things has been told by the prophet many times. So whenever
he will say that there was saying of one Dervish and his
condition was such then I will able to understand that he is
mentioning his condition only.” Then regarding leaving of the
world, he said “ One pious person placed his prayer mat on the
water and he was praying there and he was saying ,Oh: Lord,
Prophet Khizer (A.S.) was committing a big sin, so enable him
divine help of repentance ” and at that time Prophet Khizer
(A.S.) came over there and he asked him “ What big sin he is
committing.? So that he should repent in this matter.” That pious
person told “You plant trees in the jungle and you take rest
under shades of those trees. And you would say that you are
doing this work for the sake of Allah.” Afterward, that pious
person told him “ To leave the world like him.” The Prophet
Khizer (A.S.) asked him “ What is your condition.?” He told
him “ His condition was that if the whole of the world will give
to him and he will ask to accept it and if he will be told that
there will be no accountability for him in this matter. Also, with
this he will be told that if you will not accept it, then you will be
thrown into the fire of hell, then in that case also he will accept
the fire of hell.” The Prophet Khizer (A.S.) asked him “Why.?”
He told because “ There is the anger of Allah is there for the
world. So for the thing on which there is the anger of Allah is
739
available so I think it is better to accept the fire of hell instead of

the world.”.
The presentation of book ‘Fawaid al-Fawad’
On the Wednesday on the 30th of the Muherrum month in
the year 710 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. On that day, I was presented my book Fawaid al-Fawad
in his service. Then he praised me very much and he said well
done. On that day, I was renewing my pledge. So the Sheikh
removed his cap from his head and awarded me and while
putting his cap on my head, he was reciting one couplet of
poetry in the Persian language.
He said Roahal-Arwah is the best book among all books
which were written Mashaiq (learned persons). And he said Qazi
Hameed Nagori has memorized that book. Usually from the
pulpit, he used to give a sermon from this book.
And in Arabic books Quwwat al-Quloob is also the best
book and Roahal-Arwahis available in the Persian language. I
told him the writings in the book Ain al-Qazat are also good, but
on which there will be no possibility of confiscation. He said “ It
was written about the condition of the rapture. ” Afterward, he
said “Still, he was 25 years old, he was getting burned. It means
in the period of his youth he was engaged very much and
established a relation with Allah and which is a strange thing.”
He said “ The writer of ‘Ain al-Qaza’ was written about his
father that he was a corrupt shirker Qazi who used to take
bribes. I asked him “ What is his intention for such writing.?”
He said, “ He also has the capacity to understand of a revelation
to him. So one time there was Sama meeting was in progress
and other Darwish and dear persons of Allah were present in
that meeting place. And the father of the writer of ‘Ain al-Qaza’
740
was also present there at that meeting and he said he was seeing
Sheikh Ahmed Ghazali there and who came in one gathering.
On that day from that place where Sheikh Ahmed used to reside
there was a long distance of travelling. Such gathering was not
possible in any other city. And he was in another city and in
short when it was checked in it carefully, then it was found as
per his saying.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “The aim of the story of the ‘Ain
al-Qazat’ was that the grace of Allah is not possible to getting
from the prayers and recitals. But what there is the will of Allah
is there and due to acting upon it is available. During this period,
one questioned was there, whether the master of the author of
‘Ain al-Qazat’ is Sheikh Ahmed Ghazeli.?” He said “No,
because in the writings there is mention of Sheikh Ahmed
Ghazali is there and also there is mention of his master. In which
it was also written that I am like this and my Sheikh is like that.
And if his Sheikh will be Sheikh Ahmed Ghazali then there will
be mention of him there. And he will write him as his Sheikh.”
Afterward, the author of book ‘Ain al-Qazat’ was still being
a child and he was playing with the boys. And the Sheikh
Ahmed Ghazali saw him and he asked for him from his parents.
But they have hidden the writer of the ‘Ain al-Qazat’ from him
and they told him that he was dying. Sheikh Ahmed told “ You
are saying false. Because till the graces which he will deserve
and unless he will not get how he will die?.” Afterward, “ He
said there was blame for Sheikh Ahmed. And for this reason, the
parents were hiding of the writer ‘Ain al-Qazat’ from him.”
Maulana Burhanuddin Gharib was present at the meeting place
and he was asked “Whether there was a trail for the Sheikh in
this matter.? ” He said “No, he wanted that he should be blamed
741
and censure in this matter. But he was most pure and pious
person. ” It is said that “ When there was blame to him for the
butcher’s son, then that butcher used to complain to everybody
in this matter. One night that boy was Sheikh then at that time
the butcher was seen from the hole in the room that the Sheikh
was praying there and the boy was sitting there. Upon the prayer
Sheikh, he was started preaching and advises and then he
performed two rakat of prayer. And again he started preaching
and advises to the boy. Again he was performed two rakat of
prayers. In short throughout the night he was spending like that
and in the morning the butcher’s distrust was over and both the
son and his father were becoming disciples.”
Jogi (Hindu ascetic)
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “This matter which is not
possible for everybody and those who will like doing this are
most virtuous and the person of courage.”
Afterward, he said “Once he was present in the service of
great Sheikh Fariduddin and at that time one Jogi (Hindu
ascetic) came over there and from him I have asked: “ Which
way he follows.”? And what are the rules of your work.?” He
said “ As per our knowledge, there are two worlds in the soul of
the man. One is Alawi (celestial) and the second is Sifli
(inferior). From the head of the person to the navel is called
Alawi and from the navel to the foot is called Sifli. In the world
of Alawi, there is the truth, purifications, good manners and
pious dealings are there. And in the world (Alam) of Sifly,
cleanliness and piousness are there. Khaja Sahib said “I liked his
talk very much. ”

742
Afterward, the discussion about leaving of the world was

started so in this matter, he said “There is an excessive
exaggeration.” He said “If any person will keep fast during the
daytime and wake up in the night and he is also Haji person, but
the original rule is that there should be truth of the world is not
available there in his heart. ”
Khaja Osman Hubabadi
On the Friday on the 22nd Rabil-Awwal month in the year
710 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. At
that time, the discussion about the piousness of Khaja Usman
Hubabadi was started. He said “ For the long period of time he
was disconnected with the creatures. And afterward, he began
sitting among the people and began meeting with the persons.
From the world of invisibility, he heard a call and in which he
was told to call to the creature on the condition that there he
should bear thousand difficulties and problems. Upon this he
was starting to walk on the one way, then one person came there
and he slaps on the nape of his neck. And also, second person
and third person done the same thing to him. In this way when
1,000 difficulties are over then, he has heard a voice come to the
pulpit and call the people toward truth. He requested “My Lord,
I have not studied knowledge and he is not perfect, so how he
will call the creature toward Him.?” There was a command that
“ It is your work to step into the pulpit and Our work is
salvation.”
Afterward, the discussion about the discontinuation of
meeting with the people was started and he said “Sheikh Ahmed
Hanbal was a white weaver and he was away from the mankind
for a long period of time. When he came in, the people then he
was stopped talking to the people. One friend came to see and
743
told him, “ When you are among the people why you have
stopped talking with the people. He told “To talk about the Lord
or talk who was created. He could not able to talk about the Lord
and about the created who is not suitable to talk.”
Afterward, the discussion was started about the persons
who keep fasting and also fasting of Tai (the fasting is kept for 3
days) but some persons only kept fasting for show and self-
conceited.
The Darwish persons
On the Tuesday on the 26th in the month of Rabil Awwal in
the 710 Hijira , I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
The discussion about Darwish persons was started and he said
“The Mashaiq (learned persons) said there will be sent down the
grace of Allah on following three times.”
1. At the time of Sama meeting
2. At the time eating of food with the intention of obeying
3. At the time mentioning of the conditions of Darwish persons
Afterward, he said “Once when he was present in the
service of Sheikh Fariduddin, then at that time six or seven
Darvesh people came there and all were young and persons of
grace but they were disciples of the masters of Chistia Chain.
They said “In the service of Sheikh that there is some story
among us. You hear it.” He told me to listen and also to
Baderudin Ishauqe to hear it. They have explained the story
among themselves in very calm and decent style of words like
that you have told like this and I told like in this way and then
you have explained in that way. And from misunderstanding I
have answered and he told that which you have told is right and
there is a mistake from my side. And he said what you said it
was the right and it was my mistake. In short, this type of
744
discussion was happening. I and Bedridden Ishaque wept upon

hearing their conversation and said: “ Allah sent down angels to
teach us how to settle our dealings.”
The tolerance and patience
Afterward, he told with his holy tongue that “At the time of
dealings one should speak such conversation and from which
veins of the neck should not appear there. It means there should
be no mark of discrimination, and anger.” Upon this, he said
about tolerance and patience that “One should bear the cruelty of
everybody and there should be no exaggerated in this matter and
should not have the intention to take revenge.”
Afterward, he said “ If anybody will put thorn so you should
also place thorns, then there will be thorns. In the general,
persons there is a rule that to behaves with pious people with
piousness and with the bad persons they behave badly. But there
are no rules with Darwish persons and here with good or bad
people with both of them, they should treat piously.”
The friends of the religion
On the Wednesday of the 7th Rabil Thani month in the year
discussion about the friendship of religious companions was
started. The friendship is of two kinds, one Nasbati (connection)
and other religious. Among them, the friendship of religious is
very strong. Because if there are two brothers of Nasbati
(relatives) are there and one is Momin (faithful) and the other is
infidel then the property of Momin brother will not be given to
infidel brother. So it is known that such type of brotherhood is
weak. But brotherhood of religion is very strong. Because the
patch which will be there in the brothers of the religion, which
will be exhibited there in this world as well as in the other
745
world. During this time, he mentioned the following verse of the

Quran.”
“ Al-Khala Yu Mazin Bazuham al-Baz Adwan al-Muttaqin.”
And its meaning and interpretation is that “ The friendship of
these people will be for revenue and then they will become
enemies of each other. But the pious persons will not be enemies
of each other.”
The prayer on Saturday and year
On the Sunday 25th of Rajab in the year 711 Hijira, I was
sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The discussion of
prayer was started and he said “ Whatever the prophet of Allah
was performed and there are 3 kinds of prayers are there.”
1. As per time
2. As per reason
3. Not as per time and reason
Now the discussion about prayers is mentioned, which are
related to the time. Imam Ghazali wrote in ‘Ahya al-Uloom’ that
the prayers which are related to time are moderate because some
prayers are performed daily basis and some are such which are
performed one time on Saturday and some are performed one
time in the month and some are such that it will be performed
one time in the year. The daily prayers which are performed are
8 and among which are five prayers of five times and sixth is
Chast prayer (mid-morning prayer). And 7th prayer is about 20
rakat which are performed after sunset prayer and 8 th prayer is
Tahajud and these prayers are performed one time in the day and
night time. And the prayer which is performed on a weekly basis
is the prayer of the Saturday and Sunday. The prayer of the
month is performed once in the month and in which there are 20
rakat are there which was used to be performed by the Prophet
746
of Allah on the first day of the month. The prayers which are
performed one time of the year are four which are as follows.
Two Eid (festival) prayers and third Tarweh (special night
prayers in Ramazan) prayer and fourth is Shabe Barat (fifteen
night of Sha’ban) prayer. Now the discussion is about the
prayers of the reasons started and he said “There are two kinds
of it. And one is the prayer of Istasqa (prayer for the rain) which
is performed for rain scarcity. The second is a prayer of lunar
and solar eclipses. It means when the sun and the moon are in
trouble then this prayer is performed. Now the discussion about
those prayers is mentioned, which are not related to time and
reason. Which are belong to glorify?”
Afterward, the discussion started whether Nafil
(supererogatory) prayer can be performed in congregation or
not.? He said, “Yes, because some Mashaiq (learned persons)
acted upon this.” Then he said “On the night of Barat (fifteen
night of Sha’ban) Shaik Fariduddin asked me there is ordered of
the prayer at night so to perform it in the congregation and you
should become a leader in it so it’s as done same.”
The prayer of safety
Then a discussion about the prayer started which are
performed for the safety of the soul. He said “ One who will
leave from his house, then he should perform two rakat so, then
he will be safe from the help of Allah from all calamities till his
stay on the outside. When he will be coming back then he
should perform two rakats so that he will be safe from the
calamities which will arise from the house. In these two prayers,
there is very much goodness and blessing is there.”
747
The verse of throne

Afterward, he said “ If any person if he will not able to
perform the above prayer, then he should recite a verse of the
throne at the time of leaving from the house and from which he
will get the benefits of the above. If he will recite Ayatul Kursi
(verse of the throne), then he should also recite the third Islamic
creed (Kalmia Tamjid). If anybody will reach late in the mosque
then there is no time of performing of the prayer of Tahiyat al-
Masjid (the prayer of greeting the Mosque) is there then he
should recite 4 times Islamic creed (Kalma of Tamjid) and from
which he will get the benefits of the above.”
On the Saturday on the 13th Shawwal month in the year 711
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Khaja
Noah, who is related with the Sheikh is sitting there near of the
Sheikh. And he was reading the book ‘Mahsariq al-Anwar’ and
he was reached on the saying of the prophet that if any person is
performing prayer and if there is saliva or phlegm in his mouth
so throw it outside, but not in the direction of Qibla (direction in
which Muslims turn in prayer) and not in the right direction
because it is the side of the angels. But it should be thrown on
the left side slowly. So that the act may not be prolonged and
from it there will be no mistake in the prayer.
He said also that “Momin (faithful) will never become
impure. Because once the prophet of Allah was going on the
way and Abu Harare was coming from the opposite way. The
prophet began joking with him and he stretches his hand to
shake his hand, but Abu Harare has taken away his hand behind.
So the prophet asked him the reason of it.? He said “ Oh Prophet
of Allah now he is coming after the intercourse with his wife
and he hasn’t taken a bath. Now how he could not shake the
748
hand of a pure person like you.” He said “ Momin (faithful) will

never become impure even he is polluted by post coition bath
but he will not become impure. If somebody will drink the
remaining water of the person polluted by post coition bath then
there will no fear. “ He also said “If any women in the shape of
Satan, will come to any person, it means if Satan will come in
the shape of women to any man then there will be an attraction
of his heart then that person should do intercourse with his wife.
So that apprehension should be out of his heart.” For the married
person, it is a condition of the best thing in this matter. Khaja
Noah heard these benefits and he stood and left from there.
Khaja Sahib pointed him and he said to the persons in the
meeting that “To give respect to this person. Because he is a
pious person. When he stood and went away from there. Then,
with exaggeration, he said about his purification that “ He was
memorizing the holy Quran and every Thursday he finishes it.
And he is very interested to learn much knowledge and he has
obtained very much knowledge. He does not have a friendship
or enmity with anybody. He is a very pious person.” So one day
I have asked with him “ Why he will do such obedience and
worship?” He said, “ His aim is your life.” Khaja Saheb said, “
Who told him this thing.? This is his sign of felicity.”
Afterward, he discussed anything which is asked by
anybody and he should know about that thing . In this matter,
he told “ One learned person Ziauddin used to give lessons
under the minaret. And from him, I was hearing that once he
went into the service of Sheikh Fariduddin and I do not know
about Fiqh (Islamic law), Nahu (syntax) and other knowledge.
And he was learning only knowledge of Khilafi (against the
tenets of faith) so there was an idea in his mind that if the Sheikh
will ask me about Fiqh (Islamic law) and Nahu (Syntax) and
749
other knowledge when what he will answer there.? With this

idea, I have reached in the service of the Sheikh and sat there.
He asked me “ How the checking of dialectic is done?” I was
happy to learn this and positive and negative recognition which
came to known in this matter, I have explained in the best way.”
Khwaja Sahib said due to the reason of his perfection of
revelation he was asked the same thing for which he was known
as a learned person.”
This is a collection of benefits and which were collected
during a period of three years. And with the help of Allah,
whatever I will hear, then I will record the advice and discourses
in this book.
The End.

These are insinuating in light of Allah and secrets of Allah,

which were heard by me from the tongue of our eloquent master
Khaja Sahib and who followed straight path and that he is a
master and the seal of jurists and who is king of Mashaiq
(learned persons) on the earth and well known as Khaja
Nizamuddin Auliya.
Discussion of the categories
On Monday on the 7th day of the month of Zeqad in the year
discussion about categories was started. He said “ The prophet
said after me there will be five categories of my Ummat
(nation). And there will be a period of each category for the
period of 40 years. The first category will be about knowledge
and observation. And the second category will be about virtue
and cleanliness and third category will be about Tawsil and
Trahem. And the fourth category will be about Tuqata and
Tadabir and fifth category will be about Herj Marj.
He said “ First category will be the of the companions of the
prophets and second category will be of Tabein (successor to the
prophet ‘s companions) and the third category will be of Tawasil
and Taraham. The meaning of Tawasil is that when the world
will come towards them and it will be common to both of them.
If one will do hardness, then another will become soft so it is
752
called Tawasil. And regarding Taraham and its meaning is that

as if the whole world will come towards them than they spend in
the way of truth without sharing in it. The fourth categories are
Takata and Tadabir. The meaning of Taqata is that if the world
like partnership come towards them, then they will fight among
themselves. And the meaning of Tadabir is that if they will get
the world, then they will not give to others and they will turn
their back to others. The fifth category is Harj Mar and this
category is that which will involve in criticism and fault finding
of each other and this category will pass away during the period
of 200 years. When the period of 200 years will be passed away,
then the puppies will be better than the sons of Prophet Adam
(A.S.). When Khaja Sahib was reached at this point, then he was
shut, tears and he said this order is for 200 years after the
prophet and what will be the condition of the creatures of the
present time?. ”
Engagement in Zikr (invocation) of Allah
Afterward, the discussion about engagement in Zikr of Allah
was started and he said: “ The real work is an invocation of Haq
(truth) and other than this all other things are a hindrance in the
remembrance of Allah.” He said, “The books which I have read
and if I read them at any time, then I will find there was
wildness and tell voluntarily that where I have fallen.”
Afterward, he told one story that “ Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul
Khair when he was reached in the conditions of perfection, then
the books which kept for study and he has kept all those books
in the corner. Some say he washed all books. Again he said
“There is no mention of the washing of the books. Of course, he
kept saving in one place.” One day he was studying those books
and he heard one divine call in which it is said to him, “ Oh:
753
Abu Saeed return back to our agreement because you have

engaged in other things.” When Khaja Sahib was reached at this
point, then he was shut tears.
The deflation in the food
On Tuesday on the 12th of the month of Zil-Hajj in the year
712 Hijira, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh and at the
meeting place, many people were present in the service of the
Sheikh. Some of them will not get the shade so they were sitting
in the sunlight. He told “Others to sit in close so that they will
get placed in the shade. Because they are sitting in the sunlight
and but he is burning.” In this connection, he told one story “ In
Badayun there was one Sheikh Shahi Moitab and who used to
live there and one time their friends take him for the excursion
outside and they cooked rice pudding there and when they put
the food then Sheikh Shahi Moitab said in this food there is
deflation was done. Perhaps two persons before bringing milk
have to drink and eaten something and which is mentioned as
the greatest fault with the Darwesh. ” When Khaja Shahi said
“Those who eat before meals why they eat again with the
friends. ” So upon saying this, they said “ Due to boiling the
milk came out of the cauldron. As the milk, which was coming
out so we began drinking. ” So, he said “ The drinking of such
milk is illegal and it should be allowed to fall. ” In short, their
excuse was not accepted and they were given a punishment that
they should stand in the Sunlight. Due to stand in the sunlight
there was a flow of perspiration so again Khaja Shahi said “ To
call a barber and when he asked why.? He said “ To take the
same quantity of blood from my body equal of the perspiration,
which was falling out of the bodies of these friends. ” When
Khwja Sahib was reached on this point and he said, “ The brave
754
and its name is called love and it is called also justice.”

Afterward about his piousness, he told this story “ One time
Sheikh Nizamuddin Abu Al-Moed was becoming ill, then he
called Shahi Motiatab and asked him to pray so that the disease
should be gone away. Khaja Shahi made an excuse in this matter
that he himself is pious. Still, he is desiring this thing from him.
Then he said, “ I am a man of the bazaar so do not say such
thing.” But the Sheikh didn’t accept anything. He said “ The
prayer should be done must so that he will become healthy.”
Then he said “Yes. ” So it’s better to call his two friends and one
is Ashraf and who is a pious person and another is tailor person
and, in brief, both of them were called there. Khaja Shahi told
them Sheikh Nizamuddin Sahib was told like that. Now you
both become my friends in this work and help Me. It means they
worked and from head to chest is entrusted to me and from chest
to up to one foot to entrust to one and the other foot is entrusted
to another one. In brief three of them were engaged and
suddenly the disease was turned into healing. Regarding the
miracle of that pious person, he told one more story that “ He
used, to say many times that upon his death if anybody will face
any important work, then he should come to his grave and if the
work will not be completed within three days then he should
come on the fourth day. If it is not completed on the fourth day,
then he should demolish his grave.”
The chastity of pious persons
Afterward, the discussion about the chastity of pious person
was started and he said “ The prophet is expected of the chastity
and they are innocent and with Faqirs (Darwish) and the pious
persons are expectant of the chastity and innocence. But the
prophets are expectant of the chastity and for the pious persons,
755
the chastity is legal.”

Discussion of memorization of the holy Quran
On the Friday on the 22nd of the month of Zil Hajj in the 712
Hijira year, one person came and requested for supplication for
the memorization of the Holy Quran. He asked “ How far he
was memorized ”and he said “ Three parts. ” He said, “ The
remaining parts should be memorized in small proportions and
recite first three parts many times in this matter.”
Afterward, he told this story “ One night he was seen in his
dream Sheikh Bedridden Ghaznavi and from him, he was
requested for the memorization of the Holy Quran. The day
break, then I went into the service of any other pious person and
requested him in this matter and he said that, like the above who
prayed for him in the dream he should pray in the day time. ” So
that due to the blessing of his prayer, he should memorize the
Holy Quran. That holy person prayed and he said “ One who
recited two verses at the time of sleeping, then he can surely
memorize the Quran and that verse is as follows.
“ Elhakum Elaha Wahed La Ilha Ills Huwa Rahman in Fe
Khaalq Samata Wal Arz Wal Ektalaf Al- Lail till Yaqiloon.”
The persons of the cave
Afterward, the discussion about the divine powers of Allah
was started and in this connection, he told this story that “One
time the Prophet of Allah was desired to the see the people of
the cave. Then there was the command of Allah “ We said that
you did not see the people of the cave, but you can see them on
the day of judgment. And if you want that they come into your
religion, then We can do that.” Upon this the Prophet of Allah
was brought one rag and four persons Abu baker Siddiq (R.A.),
756
Umar bin Qattab (R.A.), Ali Ibn Tabeb (R.A.) and Abu Zur
Ghafari (R.A.) and he told them to hold one corner of it and then
he was called the wind from which Prophet Sualiman (A.S.)
used to take work and he said “ The wind to take away this rag
along with these four persons on the door of the people of the
cave. ” The companions conveyed salam from the outside. Allah
has given life to them. They replied for their salam. Upon this,
the companions presented them the religion of the prophet and
for which they have accepted It. Khaja Sahib said “ There is
nothing which is not there in the divine power of Allah. ”
Discussion about supererogatory prayers and recitals
On Monday, for the first of the month of Safar in the 713
Hijira year, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about supererogatory prayers and sending the
blessing on the prophet was started. He said “ One night he was
seen Khaja Fariduddin in the dream and he told me to recite nine
times the following phrase.”
“ La Ilha allah Wahidahu La Sharikalahu Lahul Muluk Walahi
Al-Hamad Wahua Ala Kulle Shain Qadiri.”
And when I was waking up from the dream. Then I was
followed by this recital for always. I said in my mind that there
is some aim in this instruction. Afterward, I have seen in books
of Mashaiq (learned persons) that one who will recite this
supplication for 100 times, then that person will be happy
without any source. And he will spend his life happy then I
came to know that the aim of the Sheikh was like this.
For this excellence of this supplication, he said it is available
in the sayings of the prophet that one who will recite this
supplication ten times after every prayer, then he will become
such a person who has freed 1000 slaves.”
757
Regarding reading the Sura al-Naba after Asar (late

afternoon) prayer
Afterward, he said “Once in the dream he said after the
prayer of Asar to read five times Sura al-Naba and when I was
woken up when I was followed by this instruction. Then there
came the idea in my mind that there will be sure and glad tiding
in it. ” So I was seeing it in exegesis in which it was written that
one who will read it after the Asar prayer daily for five times,
then he will become the slave of the truth. It means the love of
Allah will be established in his heart. Upon finishing these two
benefits, he was instructed the persons in the meeting to follow
it for always.”
On the Tuesday of the 2nd of the month of Safar in the year
713 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. One
person from meeting told “ Some person had said bad things
about you on every occasion. And they say such things about
him and for which there is no power to bear such allegations.”
Then Khaja Sahib said “ I have forgiven all of them. So you also
forgive them and do not have enmity with them.”
Afterward, he said “ Chajju who was a resident of Andip and
who used to tell him always bad things and always ready to do
enmity with him. Telling bad thing is easy, but to the desire of
the bad things is worse than this. In short when he was dying
then I went to his grave on the third day and prayed for him “
Oh: my: Lord, who used to say bad things to me and I have
forgiven him so do not give him punishment for my sake.” He
said “ If there is un-pleasantness between two persons. Then it
should be sorted. If one person who will be sorted it, then, in
that case, there will be fewer difficulties for the other person.”
Afterward, he said “ The people are not happy with the bad
758
sayings and it said that the property of the Sufi is in a way out
and his blood is permissible and when there is such condition
then what will there the complaint and grievance of the
backbiting.?. During this time one person came there and he was
informed about that “ Now at this time the congregation of your
friends is there at the such and such place and there is kept flutes
also there.” Upon hearing this Khaja Sahib, was becoming
unhappy in this matter. He said “He has prohibited flutes and
illegal things. And whatever they did, it is not right and they
have been exaggerated in this matter.” He said further, “ If the
leader (Imam) will do mistake than followers (prayer) should
point out his mistake by saying ‘Subhan Allah’ and for women
by ridiculing with clapping, but not with two palms, but with
one palm and with one back side of the palm because clapping
with palms is added in the playing. In short, such that even the
matters, of play are prohibited. In Sama, there should be taken
more care in this matter. When there does take very much care
in the clapping of the palms than regarding of playing of the
flute, then what should be there very much prohibition in it.?
Afterward, he said, “ If anybody will fall from any place,
then he should fall within the Islamic law and if he will fall
outside of the Islamic law, then he will not have any position in
this matter.”
The Sama
Afterward, he said “ The great learned persons have heard of
Sama. And who belongs to this work and who are a person of
taste and recitals. When they will hear one couplet of the
choristers and then there will be tenderness upon them whether
it may be there or not there flute. But those who do not know of
the fervor and whatever will be sung before them, then there will
759
be no benefit at all to them. So it is known that this work

belongs to persons of pain and it is not for flute etc.”
Afterward, he said “ The people will not get attention in the
daytime and if at any time in the day if they will get happiness.
Then for them the remaining time will be in its custody. If in
any group if there will be available to any person of taste and
person of grace will be there then for the remaining persons of
the group will be coming under his custody.” Afterward, he said
“ In the olden days one Qazi (judge) was there in Ajodhan and
who used to reside there and who was always used to fight with
Khaja Fariduddin and as such that one time he went to Multan
city and told leaders there how it is legal to any person who will
sit in the mosque and hear the Same there ?” and they said “We
did not tell him nothing.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “ When he has heard Sama and
for all times, then as per swearing of the saintly dress of the
Sheikh, I kept it as a consideration as per attributes and conduct
of the Sheikh. One time during the life of Sheikh one chorister
sang one couplet of the Persian than at that time I come to know
his likeness of attributes and perfection of holiness and
excellence and pleasantness was remembered to me. And at that
time, there was such condition which prevailed upon me that
which is not possible to describe in the words. The Qawwals
(chorister) wanted to sing other couplets, but I asked him to
repeat the above couplet. And upon reaching this point, Khaja
Sahib shut tears. And he said, “ After a short period of time
Sheikh Sahib was passed away from the world.”
Afterward, he said “ On the day of judgment it will be
asked for anybody that, have you heard Sama in the world.?” He
will say “ Yes. ” He will be asked “ Have you heard that couplet
760
and you have doubts about the attributes upon Us.” He will say
“Yes”. He will be asked then “ For the incipient and attributes
who will be there apprehended on the old Personality.” He will
say, “ Oh: My Lord. I have said this due to the excess of the
love.” Then there will be a command that “ As you have loved
Us, so We bestow mercy upon you.”
The miracles of the prophet
Afterward, the discussion of the miracles of the prophet of
Allah was started and he said: “ Animals and inorganic materials
were obedient to him.” In this matter he told one story that
“When the last Prophet of Allah was coming into the world and
he sent Maz Bin Jabal to Yemen and he told him “ In that
Velayat (state) there is one water spring known as Ain al-Alreaf
is there and it is also called Ain Wafat and specialty of this
spring water is that if some water of it will be drink, then the
man will be dying suddenly and when you will reach for that
spring water tell him that the prophet was appeared in the world,
so when you will reach there, then you should convey my
message.” So he told the story of the prophet hood and that
spring water accepted the prophet hood of Allah’s prophet and it
has lost its previous property.
Isim Azam (Al-mighty’s name)
Afterward discussion about using Isim Azam (Al-mighty’s
name) was started. He said “When Ibrahim Adham was asked
whether he was remembered Isim Azam?, then recite it.” He is
told, “ To keep away the stomach from the ill-legal load and to
keep away the love of the world from the mind, then if you read
any name of Allah which will become the name of Isim Azam.”
During this time, the food was brought there and salt was kept
there. Then Khaja Sahib told “ Meals should be started eating
761
with salt. But to make wet the finger from the saliva of the
mouth and take the salt with it. And there is no mention of it. If
the finger is not wet, then the salt will not touch it. So to take it a
little with the help of two fingers.” So I said thanks to Allah for
this benefit. That it was known to the right of the salt again.
Khaja Sahib smiled and he said, “It is good.”
Good reply
Moulana Mohiuddin Kasani was also present there at that
time. He was made an interpretation of my talk and he said one
story that “Once one person went into the service of Khaja
Shams Malik and he has desired something there. But he was
given his reply in negative to him. But still that person was
standing there. Shams Malik told “ Why he did not go?” And
that applicant (sail) told him “ He needed to reply from him.” He
told him “ What is the answer better than it I would say to him.”
Hajj and visit of master of without devotion
On Friday on the 26th of the month of Safar in the year 711
Hijira, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh. I told him that
“This time he came for his visit of his relation kith and kin.”
Some companions said this “ Nobody should not come to this
place with the intention of any other work. And also not with the
intention of his service. So he should not come near to him.” I
told and think in my mind, even though the method is like this,
but my mind does not like that without a present in the service
of Sheikh should not go from the limits. So I will go against the
customs. So while thinking this, I came there and was presented
myself at the service of the Sheikh Sahib and Sheikh Sahib told
“ You have done well. ”
Afterward, he said, “ There is customary in the learned
person that nobody visits them before Ishraq (mid morning) and
762
after Aser (late afternoon) prayer, but for me there is no such

custom and I used to come and go anytime whatever I like.”
Afterward, the discussion started that some persons after
returning from the Hajj pilgrimage they used to engage a whole
day in the remembrance of Allah and used to mention it in every
place and this is not good.
Afterward, he said “ One person said he came from the such
and such place.” Some pious person told “ Oh: Khaja what are
the benefits of your visit to such place?. Because still the pride
is found there with you.”
The service and willingness
Afterward discussion about service and willingness was
started. He said, “ One who do service, then he will become the
master and without service how he will become master.?” Those
who will do the service. Then they will get service.”
Afterward, this discussion about good deeds was started.
One person wrote about ten methods and out of which five are in
the head and five are in the body and who described in the
poem.
Not to accept the kings’ offer
On Wednesday on the 19th Jamidil Awwal month, in the year
711 Hijira, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh. In those
days, the king was granted land and many things and its title
papers were sent in the service of Khaja Sahib. Khaja Sahib did
not accept all these things. And in this matter, he said “ He is not
suitable for garden, land and agriculture work and while smiling,
he said if he will accept these things, then what will the people
say that Sheikh is going to the garden and he is going to visit his
land and his agricultural work. Whether these things are
763
suitable?”. Being in tears, he said “ No person among our

masters and learned persons did not accept it. ”
Afterward, he said “ In those days Sultan Nasiruddin visited
Ajodhan while going to Multan and on that day Sultan
Ghiyasuddin who was a local ruler of there and he came to visit
Sheikh Fariuddin ” and he told “He brought some cash and title
deeds of four villages. And cash is to Darwesh persons and title
deeds are brought in your honour.” So he was smiling and he
said “Give me cash so that myself and Dervish will spend it
together. But take away the title deeds and for it there are many
seekers of it, are there so give it to them. ” During the time of
the story he mentioned saying of the prophet “ Ma Dakhal Baina
al-Adkhal Zela ”.
Afterward, he said “ This saying told by the prophet on some
special occasion. That is one time the Prophet came into one
house where there were two kinds of wood were there and with
one wood plough work is done and with another wood driving
of animals is done and when he saw it when the Prophet told “
Ma Dakhal Baina Al-Adkhal Zela ”. When these woods will be
in any house than in that house there will come disgrace there.
From here the discussion about Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrazi was
started. He said “ He was writing one letter in Arabic to Sheikh
Bahuddin and I have seen myself that letter in which he wrote
one who will like the coming of the property from the women’s
side then he will not get any better condition and in it also
mentioned about Zega and its meaning land and villages. In
short, I could not remember the Arabic word used in this matter,
but its meaning is those persons who will like in mind for the
land so he will become the man of the world and the people in
the world. ” He asked about “ Sheikh Noor Allah to whom he
764
was pledged” and said, “ He was a disciple of Shaikh Abu Saeed

Tabrizi.”
The discussion about recitals
Afterward, the discussion of recitals was started. One person
from the meeting place asked him to what this saying of the
prophet is related.? “Sahib al-Warud Maloon Tarik al-Warud
Maloon.”
He said “ It is about the people in the books. This matter was
happened that when it was reported in the service of the prophet
that such and such Jewish or worshipper of the fire used to do
too many recitals and in this matter they term it is called
Tamqita. The Prophet told “Sahib al-Warud Maloon” and when
a Jew was heard this then he left the recitals and when the
Prophet heard this and he said “Tarik al-Ward Maloon. ” And
some say it is generally saying of the prophet and its
interpretation is that if any person who will leave recitals
intentionally. Then he will be become the person from leaving
the recital and such person is called “Tarik al-warud Maloon. ”
If any person who is head of the community and where many
persons used to come and go, and there is the expedience of the
Muslims is attached to him and then he will engage in his
recitals. Then in his favour it will be called as “Sahib al-Warud
Maloon ”.
In this situation, I told him, “If any person due to
engagement or some excuse will not complete his stipulated
recitals, then he should complete it in the night time instead of
daytime. Then what is instructed in this matter.?.” He said “ It is
better to perform it in the night time. If it is lapsed in the night
time, then perform it in the day time. Because night is the caliph
of day and day is the caliph of the night. So it should not be
765
lapse.” Afterward, he said, “ The recitals which stayed away

without any excuse and there are three conditions which are not
free from it are as follows.”
1. Inclination of lust
2. Illegal or anger
3. If there will be any fall of calamity on any person.
In this situation, he told this story that “One day Moulana
Aziz Zahed was falling down from the house.” When he asked
the reason for this matter, then he said: “ He used to read Surah
(chapter) Yasin daily and today he did not read it.”
Poem
On Wednesday, of the fourth of the month of Jamdil
Awwal in the year 711 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet
of the Sheikh. The discussion of the poem, thoughts and Gazal
(ode) was started. He said “Once Sheikh Fariuddin read one
Persian couplet and on that day the time was passed from the
morning to evening time and also the couplet was there with his
tongue even at the time of breaking of fast and at the time of
Sahar (pre-dawn meals during fasting month) also he was
reciting that couplet. When the number of times he recited this
couplet then there will be changes in his face.”
Afterward, he said, “It is not known what was the idea in his
mind and what was matter in it that he was asked to repeat this
couplet number of times.”
Afterward, he said “Once Shaikh Bhauddin Zikeria was
standing inside of his house in the door and he was holding the
door with one hand and the other hand was on the other door,
and he was reciting one Persian couplet number of times.
766
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said, “ It is not known what was the

matter with him that he was asked to repeat this couplet number
of times? , and that what was an idea in his mind?.”
Trust in Allah
Afterward, the discussion about trust in Allah was started.
He said “ There should be trust in Allah. And except Him, there
should be no trust on the other.” Upon this, he said, “ The
declaration of a man will not be completed unless he will not
think the reality of all creatures is less than a mosquito.”
Afterward, in this connection, he said the story “ Once
Ibrahim Khawas was going to Makkah and one boy was also
with him. He asked him “ Where he is going?.” He told “ For the
visit of Ka’aba in Makkah. ” He asked “ Where his luggage on
the journey?. ” He told “ Allah will make live and establish man
without sources. Surely he will send me to Makkah without
luggage and convenience. ” In short when he was reached
Makkah, he saw the boy reached there before him and he was
circumambulating Ka’aba there. When his looks fall on him,
then he said “ Oh: a poor believer. Whatever you have told me
whether you have repented in this matter or not?.”
Afterward, he said one more story “ Once one thief of
shrouds was coming in the service of Khaja Bayazid Bustami
and repented. Khaja Sahib asked him “ How many shrouds you
have stolen from dead bodies of the persons.?” He told “ He has
stolen shrouds from one thousand dead bodies. Among them
how much he was found in the direction of Qibla (direction in
which Muslims turn in prayer).?” He told “Only two and the
remaining others were not in the direction Qibla.” Listeners
asked for Khaja Sahib “ What is reasonable in this matter.? ” He
said “ Both of them to have trust in Allah and others do not
767
have to trust in Allah. ”

The kind of sustenance
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said “As per the saying of the
learned persons there are found four kinds of the sustenance. ”
1. Riziq Mazmun
2. Riziq Maqsum
3. Riziq Mamlok
4. Riziq Maoud
“ Riziq Mazmun is about that the things about food and
drinking from the source of income. Riziq Maqsum is that for
which Allah is guaranteed in fate. Allah says “ Wama Min
Dabta Fil Arz Ala Lahu Rizqaha.” Its meaning and interpretation
are that “There is no animal are not there in the world for whom
Allah is not guaranteed sustenance for them.” “Riziq Maqsum is
that which is allotted to him at the time of the beginning of the
world and which is recorded on the tablet as per the fate. Riziq
Mamlok is that which is stored. For example Rupees, currency,
sources and clothes. Rizk Mamlok is that which is promised by
Allah to pious persons.” Allah says “ One who fears from Allah,
then he will make sources of income for him and Allah will
provide him with sustenance in such a way that he could not
imagine and think in this matter.”
Afterward, he said, “ In Rizq Mazmon there is trust and
which is not found in other substances. Because of Rizk
Maqsum what is the work of the trust.? In this way understand
other kinds of sustenance. There is trust in the sustenance of
Mazmun. It means one should know that whatever his income is
there which will be available to him surer.”
The Excellence of the prayer
768
On Saturday 29th of the month of Jamdil Akhair in the month

of the year 711 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. The discussion about the excellence of the prayer was
started. And he addressed me and he said “ The prayer should be
performed in the congregation. ” I told him there is one mosque
near my house where he used to reside there. If I leave for it as
there is nobody there in my house to look after for my papers
and books there so, for this reason, he used to perform
congregational prayers in the house. ”
Afterward, he said, “ The prayer should not be performed in
the houses, but it is having excellence in the mosques.” Upon
this, he said “ In the previous prophets, there were established
mosques to perform the prayers there and there was not legal to
perform the prayers in other places, but during the period of last
prophet this facility was started to perform prayer at any place.
In the olden days, there was a (Zakat) religious tax was required
for one-fourth of wealth. But during the time of the last prophet
for the property and wealth, there is a religious tax required is
only for 1/40 portion.
Generosity and miserliness
Afterward, he said “ 40th portion is given and which is also
because he should not be called miser. And from him, this name
of miser may be removed from him. But he is also not called as
generous and generous is such person, one who will give more
than a legal tax of Zakat.” During this period, I told him “ What
is meaning of the saying of the prophet of Allah “Al-Saqi Habib
Allah Wain Kan Na-Fasiqan.” And its meaning and interruption
is a generous person and he is a friend of Allah and whether he
may be a sinful person. He said “ It said in this way. ” One the
person in the meeting said this saying of the prophet is available
769
in Arabain. Khaja Sahib said “ This saying of the prophet,

which is available in Shahain which will be found correct.
The difference between Saqi (bountiful) and Jawad
(generous) person
Afterward, he said “ The difference between Saqi (bountiful)
and Jawad (generous) is that Saqi is that person who will give
more than an Islamic tax of Zakat. But Jawad is such person
who will give more for reward, for example, if he has 200
Dirhams with him, then he will keep with him only five Dirhams
and remaining 195 Dirhams he will spend in the way of Allah.
Upon this, he said Sheikh Fariduddin said that there are three
kinds of Islamic taxes of Zakat as follows.
1. The Zakat of Shariat (the Islamic law)
2. The Zakat of Tariqat (mystic way of life)
3. The Zakat of Haqiqat (in reality)
The Zakat of Shariah is that, if one has 200 Dirhams, then he
will give away in secret five Dirhams in the way of Allah. The
Zakat of Tariqat (mystic way of life) is that from 200 Dirhams
he should keep to himself only 5 Dirhams and remaining 195
Dirhams should be spent in the way of Allah. The sect of
Haqiqat (in reality) is that he should spend 200 Dirhams in the
way of Allah and do not keep any amount with him.”
Regarding Zakat (Islamic tax) he said: “ One story that
Junaid of Baghdad used, to say the learned person of his time “
Oh: bad learned persons and give away Zakat of the
knowledge.” He was asked “ What is meaning of this type of
Zakat.? ” He said, “About 200 issues which they have learnt and
out of them to act upon five issues and from 200 sayings of the
prophet to make taking part of 5 five of it in daily practice.”
770
Afterward, he said about “ Moulana Raziuddin Sanani who

was the author of book Mahsaraiq al-Anwar.”He wrote this
book of arguments which is between him and Allah. If there will
be any difficulty of saying of the prophet then he will see the
prophet in his dream, then he will make the necessary correction
therein.”
Afterward, he said “ He was belonging Badayun and then he
went to Kol and there he became vice Sherrif (ruler). The Sheriff
under which he was deputy and who was a man of proficiency.
One day sheriff was talking with him and Moulana was smiling
and he sends to him the ink bottle and he was becoming
disaffected and afraid of him. He stood there and he said “ We
do not want to sit among illiterate persons.” Then his source of
income was increased. He used to give tuition to the son of the
owner of Kol and he will get 100 Ashrafi (golden coins) from
there and he was used to be content with this income. He went
from there to Makkah for Hajj pilgrimage and from there he was
visited Baghdad and came back to Delhi. In those days there
were many persons of knowledge were there and all were equal
with him in his knowledge. And for the knowledge of Hadith
(sayings of the prophet) he was superior and nobody was not
equal with him. ”
Afterward Khaja Sahib said, “ His work was made by one
saying of the prophet. And which was happening like that when
he was left from Kol for Hajj pilgrimage and he was purchased
one shoe and to, wear it. When he was passed from one
destination, then he was tired there. Then he came to know that
it is not possible to go on the footing. In this thinking, he saw
the son of the ruler of Kol on the horse who was coming there to
bring him back. When Moulana saw him and thought in mind
771
that if he gets that horse, then the journey will be finished easily.
He was in thinking so the son of the ruler requested him to
come back to Kol. When he was not accepted in this matter, then
he offered him his horse and requested him to accept his horse.
And he accepted his horse and was continued his journey. In
short upon performing the Hajj pilgrimage he went to Baghdad.
Where there was on Muhadith (a scholar of the tradition) and his
name was Ibn Zahri and for him the people were constructed
the pulpit and on which he used to stand there and explain the
sayings of the prophet. Around him, the people used to sit in the
group as per their knowledge. One day Moulana Raziuddin went
into his gathering. He was sitting in the group which was very
far from him and at that time Ibn Zahari was explaining the
saying of the prophet that to conformity of Muezzin (one who
shouts the call to prayer) and it means the listeners have to say
same as per Muezzin and he was starting the saying of the
Hadith with the words’ “ Eza Skub al-Moaz’zn”. The meaning
of Sakub is when the call of the Azan

(prayer) will reach your ears, then you should say same like
Him. When Ibn Zhari explained this as saying. Then Moulana
Raziuddin where he was sitting he said slowly to others “Eza
Sakat al-Muazzin” and it means when Muazzin will be silent
after saying the phrases then be silent in this way. Whoever is
heard this when he said this to other and other to third and in this
way it was reached to Ibn Zahari. He called “ Who said Like
this. ” Moulana said, “ I told this. ” Then Ibn Zahari told there
are meanings of the two things. So we should refer the books.
There were reasons for two things. When they stood at the
meeting place and saw the books and two things were found
with logics, but ‘Eza Skat’ was more correct. When the caliph
772
heard this then he called Moulana Raziuddin in his court and he

was given him respect and honour and he was studying some
things from him. In short, he came from there in Delhi. In
Badayun, there was his teacher who was a person of Velayat
(saintliness) and a pious one and he has one book named
Makhlis with him and which Moulana Raziuddin asked him but
he didn’t give him that book. When he reached to Delhi upon
obtaining knowledge, then he told once his teacher was not
given the book Makhlis of sayings of the prophet to him. Now if
the authors of that book will come there, then he can teach them.
Somebody was informed in this matter to his teacher. He told “
The Hajj pilgrimage of Moulana Raziuddin was not accepted.
And if accepted, he will not say like this.” Khaja Sahib told this
and shut, tears and praised for the belief of that pious person.
Upon this the meals were brought there. He asked to eat together
there. Upon this he told this story “ Once some Darwish came
into the service of Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria and meals were
brought there. Then Sheikh eats meals with them. He saw one of
them who was eating bread there and he said “Subhan Allah
(God be praised) among Darwesh he can knows only eating.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib said the prophet said, “ Surid
(mixing of the pieces of bread in the stew) is having excellent on
other meals like he himself has excelled on all other prophets of
Allah and like Ayesha Siddiqi (R.A.) is among all other
women.”
The congregational prayer
On Sunday on the 14th of the month of Rajab in the 711
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
Discussion about congregation prayer was started. In this matter
he said “ With exaggerated that if there will be two persons, then
773
should perform the prayer in congregation even though there

will be no legal prayer of two people is permissible but it will be
given the reward of the congregational prayer. The two persons
should stand in one line.”
Afterward, he said “One time the prophet wants to perform
the prayer, but there was nobody except Abdulla Ibn Abbas
(R.A.) so he caught his hand and stands him at his bedside.
When the prophet engaged in taking Taheruma (announcement
of the initiation of congregational) then Abdullah Ibn Abbas
moved behind him. Afterward, the prophet asked him “ Why he
did move behind of him in the prayer.? ”. He told “ What I have
the power to stand with the Prophet of Allah?. ” The prophet
liked his good manners very much and he prayed for him, “ Oh:
My Lord makes him Faqih (Islamic jurist) in the religion. ”
Upon this Khaja Sahib said among the companions of the
prophet after Ali Ben Taleb (R.A.) he is Faqih (Islamic jurist).”
Afterward about Abdullah Ibn Masood he said “ Ibn
Abdullah is called three Ebad-Allah. And among those are as
follows.
Abdullah Ibn Abbas, Abdullah bin Masood and Abdullah
bin Omer.” He said “About Abdullah bin Masood that he has
passed away from the world in the early age. One day where he
was grazing goats the Prophet of Allah and Abu Baker Siddiq
(R.A.) was reached there. He demanded some milk from him.”
He told him “ He is a man of custody of the goats so how he can
give him milk to him.? ” Afterward, Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.)
said to him. “ He is the Prophet of Allah and he is the
companion of him. If some milk of the goat will be given to the
Darwish then nothing great will be happening in this matter. ”
He said “ He is a man in custody and he did not have permission
774
to give milk. So what he can do.?” Afterward, the Prophet of

Allah told him “ To bring a pregnant goat and when the goat
was brought there, then the Prophet of Allah, with his holy hand,
he turns over his hand on the back of the goat and with this the
milk came in the goat and that milk was given to him.”
Afterward, the prophet told Abdullah bin Masood “ To come
and live in our company.” Khaja Sahib said “The height of
Abdullah bin Masood was short and about him the prophet told
Kaniftal Elim and it means being as Qareetal Elim and from this
it is known that his height was small.
Afterward, he said “ Darwish persons used to carry small
bags and which is called Kanaf and it is not right and it is a
Kanief.” Upon this, he said the prophet call to Abdallah bin
Masood as Kaniftal Elim (bag of knowledge).” Afterward, he
told one story that “ One person whose name Raees who became
a disciple of Sheikh Bakhtiar. That person was seen one tomb in
a dream in one night and around which there was very much
gathering was more there. One small height person was coming
and going from that tomb and this is told by Raees. He asked
him who is there in the tomb and who is that person that coming
and going from more there. It is known that in the tomb Prophet
Mohammed (peace be upon him) is there and that small height
person is Abdulla Bin Masood and who is carrying the messages
of the persons there. I went near Abdulla Bin Masood and told
him that to pray for him in side there and he was willing to visit
there and he goes inside and he brought a reply from the inside
that you do not have capacity in this matter and tell Bakhtiar
Kaki after my salam that the present of blessing every night he
used to send which is not received since three nights. Is there
good with him.? When he was waking up, then he went into the
service of Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki and told him the prophet of
775
Allah was conveyed him to his Salam.” Sheikh Sahib stood and
asked that “ The prophet of Allah said this.?. And, whether he
said some more.” I told him that “ He said the present, which he
used to send every night, which was not received for three nights
and what is reasonable in this matter.? Is there everything is well
with Him.? ” Khaja Qutubuddin has called his wife at that time
and he was paid her amount of dowry and divorced her at the
same Time. Because he spent three nights in his marriage and
due to this reason that present of blessings could not be sent by
him to the prophet of Allah.”
Afterward, Khaja Sahib told by his holy tongue that “ Sheikh
Qutubuddin used to send his present of the blessing of 3,000
times daily and then he will use to sleep.” About piousness, of
Khaja Qutubuddin he said “Once Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria,
Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi and Sheikh Qutubuddin were in
Multan city. Then at that time, the army of infidels came near
Multan city to attack. In those days, the ruler of Multan was
Qabacha. Sheikh Qutubuddin was given one arrow to Qabacha
one night. And he told him to throw it away at the enemy so
Qabacha done as per his instruction. At the time of daybreak,
they didn’t find any one of the persons from the infidel army.”
The “Tafsir (exegesis) of Kashaf”
On the Wednesday of the month of 24th Rajab in the year
711 Hijira, the discussion about Tafsir (exegesis) of Kashaf was
started and he said about exegesis that “Khaja Hasan of Basra
used to read Dal alphabet of Alhamad with Zaire (vowel point)
and with Zair (vowel point ) of Dal and this is the reason of its
with joining of Allah. Because the action of Lam is based on it.
But as per Qirat (recitation of the Holy Quran) of the method of
Ibrahim, it is Peish (vowel point) of Dal. And also, it is Peish of
776
Lam. But it is not known whether it is as per Ibrahim Naqai

method or some other one and Allah know better in this matter.
In short, this is the opinion of the author of the book Kashaf that
Qirat of Hasan of Basra is better than Ibrahim’s Qirat. Because
Hasan of Basra used to read Zair (the vowel point) of Dal due to
Lam of Allah. It means Lam is connected with Zair. And also
Al-Hamad of Dal by maksur (irregular plural of Arabic noun).
But with Ibrahim method Al-Hamad’s Dal is due to marfu
(raised) and it reads as Zair of Lam. Because Dal of Al-Hamad’s
action is due to reasons of Amil (reader) and who will change
those Aarab (vowel points) and those are strong which are based
on Aarab (vowel points).” After this speech Khaja Sahib said “ I
have come to the conclusion that Dal of Al-Hamad is just like
such person who is having its master and to whom he will say
do like this and do live like in this way and Lam of Allah is like
that person which is not having its master and who live as per
his will like in this matter.”
The belief of the author of Tafsir Kasshaf (exegesis)
From here the discussion about the belief of the author of
Tafsir Kasshaf was started. Khaja Sahib told by his holy tongue
that “ Despite of his great knowledge and tradition, his belief
was false. Upon this, he said there will be an infidelity and one
Bedat (innovation in religion) and one dis-obedience or sins and
Bedat is more than disobedience and infidelity is more than
Badat and Badat is nearly of the infidelity.”
The Badat and sins of author of Kashaf
Afterward, he told this story which he was heard by
Moulana Sadaruddin Qarni. He said, “Once he was with the
Moulana Najamuddin Sanani and he asked me what you are
doing nowadays.?” I told him “ I used to read books of exegesis
777
and he asked which book of exegesis.” I told Kashaff, Ejad and

Umda. Moulana Najamuddin told to burn down “ Kashaf” and
Ejad and read only Umda. Moulana Sadaruddin said “ It was
felt by his very unpleasant for me.” So I asked him “Why.?” He
said “ Sheikh Shabuddin Saherwardi says it was felt by him
unpleasant in this matter. ” When there was nightfall, I was
reading the above three books in the light of the lamp. Ejad and
Kashaff were down and Umda was up on the books. During
this time I was sleeping. Suddenly there was a flame was created
and I was waking up and what I have seen that the book Kashaf
and Ejad were burnt but the book Umda was safe there.”
He told another story that “ Sheikh Sadaruddin wanted to
read book Nahu Mufsil so he told in this matter with his father.
Sheikh Bahuddin Zakaria is told to be patient for the night.
When there was the fall of the night, then Sheikh Sadaruddin
what he was seeing an event in which one person was taken in
the while fasting in the chains. He asked who is that person.? It
is said this is the person Zamhashri who wrote book Mufasil and
they are taking him toward the fire of hell.”
The grave of Prophet Lut (A.S.)
On the Tuesday of the 7th of the month of Shaban in the year
person from meeting asked told this story that “ Once he while
travelling, he was reached in the country where there is available
the grave of Prophet Lut (A.S.). Which is expected to be very
great and very high there and people of that area could not know
our language. And also we do not their language. In short, after
some days of starvation, we have reached in that land. So they
cooked one food from one kind of grain like maize and on which
they put the milk. As we got, so we eat it with much fondness.
778
Khaja Sahib said in such place, such people were in the

condition of worrying by such nation there. This story teller was
produced by him some sweet for eating there.” Upon this he told
the story that “ He was heard the story of Moulana Zahid and he
said he and Moulana Burhanuddin Kabili and in those days who
was deputy Qazi in Delhi and we at the beginning were studied
in the same school. Once Moulana Burhanuddin got two golden
coins. He said with one gold coin he will purchase Quran with
the intention that he should become a person of Nisab (minimum
taxable income for the purpose of Zakat) and it means to
become wealthy. He did the same and he purchased one Quran
with one gold coin. Perhaps on the same day when from
commander-in-chief Jamaluddin Neshapuri who was Kotwal
(police chief) of Delhi and who was sent the food and in which
there was also available sweet of carrot. The police chief puts
that sweet of carrot before Moulana Burhanuddin and asked him
“How is this sweet.?’ Mounlana Burhanuddin told “ Students
used to eat dry bread as eating of the carrot sweet so you tell
how the sweet made of carrots is eaten by.?. ” “ Kotwal liked
his talk very much and he asked one person “ To bring 20 or 30
gold coins and give to Moulana Burhanuddin.” In short, there
was a very much wealth gathered with Moulana Burhanuddin
and he was becoming deputy Qazi (judge) of Delhi.”
On Friday of the last day of the Ramazan month in the year
713 Hijira, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussions about justice and atrocities were started. He said “
The dealings of Allah with the creatures are having of two kinds.
The deal of the creatures among themselves is having of three
kinds. Allah’s dealing with the creatures is for justice or
excellence. But the dealing of creatures among themselves
depends upon justice or excellence or atrocities. If people do
779
justice and excellence among themselves, then Allah will

bestow upon them excel. If they do atrocities among themselves,
then Allah will act upon them with justice and He will be
surrounded them by the punishment if he may be a prophet of
time.” Upon this I told that the Prophet of Allah said. “ If Allah
will send him and his brother prophet Eisa (A.S.) into the fire of
hell, then it will be an act of justice,” He said “Indeed. The
ownership of all worlds belongs to Allah. And those who do put
to one’s own use in His kingdom will not do atrocity. The
atrocity is called that which is done in the kingdom of others.”
Afterward, he said “ As per religion of Asher, it is there
something that it is a legal matter with them that Allah can keep
Momin (faithful) in the fire of hell for always or to send infidels
into the paradise for always. Because He is doing usage and who
does put to one’s own use in his kingdom. But it is not such
thing in our religion. What Allah says in the Quran that the
unwise is not equal with wise and blind is not alike with Bina
(having eyesight) and there are some examples mentioned. Now
it is from wisdom is expedient that Momin (faithful) should go
to the paradise and infidels to go the fire of hell. Because Allah
is wise and He works as per wisdom. Like such person who is
having a wealth and property and he will spend it whatever way
he likes. And if he will be throwing away his wealth in the well
then that it will be deemed as his wisdom.”
Afterward, he said “ If any Momin will die without
repentance, then there will be doubt of three things in this
matter. It is possible that Allah may forgive him due to the
blessing of his faith or due to his excellence or forgive to the
intercession of any person. If he will throw away into the fire of
hell, then he will be punished there as per his sins and after that,
780
he will be sent to paradise. But he will not be stored there

always in the fire of hell.”
Different stories
On Saturday, for the 11th of the Shawwal month in the year
713 Hijira, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh. On that day
I took with myself, my slave Bashir, there and told there that
“He used to perform prayers and he has learned it from him that
since long time he has asked me to take in the service of Khaja
Sahib so that he can get the excellence of pledging with him
because there was available general kindness and favour of
Khaja Sahib to all persons. So he agreed to this matter.”
Afterward, he asked me “ Whether you give him permission
to make a pledge to him.” So I told him “ Yes your honour, and
upon this he was accepted, his pledge to him and given him his
cap and instructed to go and pray two rakat of thanks. When the
slave standing and went from there, then Khaja Sahib told one
story “ One Darwish came there while wearing starched saintly
dress in the shrine building of Sheikh Ali Sanjari and that
Darwish used to cause trouble in every place. Sheikh Ali told
him “ As you live in this shrine building so you did not beg and
I will give you money and with this you lead a life free from
care and while saying this he was given him 500 Chetals and
with this amount that Darwish did business and he got 30 gold
coins in a short period of time. When he purchased the goods of
30 coins which became a value of 100 gold coins and with that
amount he purchased the slaves. Sheikh Ali told him to take
those slaves to Ghazni so that he can get good profit there. So
the Darwish did as per the instruction given. He has one reliable
slave and to whom he asked to pledge to him and that slave
became his slave and Darwish cleared his hair from his head and
781
put a cap on his head and he told him “ This cap belongs to
Shaikh Ali. Perhaps the Darwesh belongs to the family of
Sheikh Ali. In short, when he was reached to Ghazni and he sold
away, there all slaves and only that slave was left with him
there. There were many buyers of him there. Darwish told him “
How he will sell him as he is his disciple. ” In short, for buying
that slave there was very much exaggeration was there and the
price of that slave was increased four times more. So, for this
reason, the Darwish’s intention was changed and he was
agreeing to sell him there. When the merchants want to buy the
slave so he was being in tears and he told “ Oh: Khaja when he
was becoming his disciple and you have put cap on his head and
you have told that the cup belongs to Sheikh Ahmed. But now
you are selling him. So there will be fighting on the day of
judgment in between myself and Syed Ahmed. ” When he said
this then Derwish was becoming soft minded and he told the
persons present there that “ You all people should be witnessed
in this matter that I freed this slave. ” When Khaja Sahib
finished his discussion here, then I told him that “ I have freed
my slave.” Khaja Sahib was becoming happy and he told “ You
have done well and it was expedient which you have done. ”
Afterward with kindness and favour, he put down his cap from
his head and placed it on my head.”
On Thursday on 27th, in the month of Shawwal in the year
discussion about spending was started. He said “When anybody
has wealth and property of the world then he should get to
spend it. When it should be over with him. Then he also spends
it in the way of Allah because it should have to go away. It is
better that to clean his hand with it.”
782
Afterward, he said, “Sheikh Najibuddin Mutwakil was

mentioned the meaning of the above in the following writing
that when it will come then why it will not become decrease
and when it will go then does not keep it because it will not
come into his hands.”
The conversation of the persons of Allah
On the Tuesday of the 15th of the month of Zil-Hajj in the year
713 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. There
was a discussion about the foods which they were eaten by the
persons of Allah and their intention will be a reality.
Afterward, he said “ Sheikh Shuabuddin wrote in the book
Awarif that one Darwesh when want to eat foods and then he
will pick up a morsel to eat and he says “Waqazt Billa” it means
that he pick up the morsel in the name of Allah.
On Monday on the 21 of Zil Hajj month in the year 713
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. He asked
me “ Whether I came from a city or cantonment area.” I told him
“ From the cantonment area and now I live there.” He asked,
“Whether I visit the city.? ”. I told “Very few times and he will
visit the city after ten or 12 days, but live most time in the
cantonment area and the Friday prayer I used to perform in the
mosque of Kelo Khari. ” He told “Well.” Because the weather
and climate of the cantonment area are best comparable to the
city area. The weather and climate of the city are very dirty and
with too many odors. About this he said with his holy tongue
that “ There will be the preference of time on the other times
like Eid (festival) which has a preference for the other days. In
the same way, some houses are having a preference for the other
houses and in some, there will be more comfortable and in
others there will be less comfortable. But the Dervish should not
783
think this matter. He should not be happy with happiness and he

should not be in grief with sadness. This condition will be
belonging to such person who will leave this world and another
world. While taking the mind of the Darwesh should be towards
reality and tongue should help the heart and the heart will seek
the help of the reality.”
Afterward, he told his holy tongue that “ He was hearing
these phrases in the beginning by Moulana Emaduddin Sanani.
Once I went towards the reservoir of the Sultan and he was
present there at that time. We both were in one place and we
have started a discussion on this matter. I had with me cause of
happiness and after this event again after 3 or 4 years we have
gathered in the same place. But again, I saw him in that place,
but there was no such thing finds in him and for which he said
that he was engaged with the creatures.”
Afterward, when Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi arrived in Delhi
and after a short period of stay he was left from there. Then he
said, “ When he came to this city when he was like pure gold
and now from here he is leaving like silver.”
Afterward, the discussion about Sama was started. I told him
“I was surprised in my work. Because the obedience and
worship which are required are not done by me and the recitals
and endeavors of Darwesh persons is not found by me. But
when I will hear Sama there will be available to me comfortable
for some time or that time when I present in his service of his
honor and at that time the mind was free from this world and the
other world.” He told “ At that time mind will be free from the
worldly relations. ” I told him “ Your honor at that time there
will be comfort available to me. ” He said there are two kinds of
Sama which are as follows.
784
1. Hagen
2. Ghair Hajam
The Hajam is called in which there will be available voice
or poetry will be listen and from it there will be movement in the
body and it is called Hajam and its explanation is not possible.
The second is Ghair Hajam is that when there will be an effect
of Sama and then one should tolerate it and whether there will
be thinking of the reality or on his master or on anything which
will be there in the mind. ”
The End.

Abu Harare and memorization of Hadiths (sayings of the
prophet)
On the Wednesday of the 24th of Muherram in the year 714
786
Hegira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. On that

day, I have brought the first volume of Fawaid al-Fawad as per
instruction of the Sheikh and when he read it and he appreciated
my work. And he said that “It was written well in the style of
mysticism.”
Afterward, he told one story “ About Abu Harare and who
was accepted religion of Islam after the conquest of Khyber Fort
and after that the prophet of Allah was not being lived in the
period of more than three years. During these years, Hadrat Abu
Harare was collected large number of sayings of the prophet and
which are more than a collection of other companions.
Afterward, he told “When it was asked with Abu Hurara how
he was memorized a large number of sayings of the prophet in a
passing of a period of time.? And other companions who used to
live in the company of the blessing of the prophet could not
memorize.? “ He said “ The prophet was allotted everybody
their special duty and it was his duty that whatever saying he
will hear it and should be memorized by him.”
Afterward, he said one day Abu Harare told in the service of
the prophet “Oh: Prophet of Allah, whatever I hear with your
holy tongue which I memorize it. But some sayings, he could
not memorize. He said “ If you want to memorize all sayings
then when I will do memorize, work, then spread your edge of
the shirt and when I will finish it, then fold it and kept it on your
chest.” In this way, whatever you will hear from me memorize
by you.”
Afterward, he said “Abu Baker (A.S.) in his life he was
memorized by 3 or 4 sayings of the prophet. And Abdullah bin
Abbas memorized only less than ten only sayings. Abdullah bin
Masood despite of great Faqhi (Islamic jurist) and in his whole
787
life he was memorizing one, saying only.” Also about this

saying of the prophet “ From that day due to the reason of its
fear the color will become yellow and hairs of the body will
stand and two shoulders began shivering.” Afterward, he said
“Wasamt Rasul Allah” and its meaning and interpretation is that
he was hearing this saying of the Prophet of Allah and he told
this meaning started by from there.”
From here discussion about the companions of the prophet
was launched. He said “There are four companions and there are
three slaves are there. Upon this discussion about the qualities
of Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.) was started that once the Prophet of
Allah said about him in the words of that “ Afzalkum Ali al-
Aqza “ “Among all of you he is superior and great Qazi (judge)
and great Qazi will be one such person who possess great
knowledge with him.”
The conformity and following of companions of the Prophet
of Allah
Afterward, he said about conformity and following of the
companions of the prophet, he told one story “ In one gathering
there was present one companion and behind him one person
was sitting there. That person every time used to say that he was
heard by the Prophet of Allah and he was there at one place and
with him Abu Baker (R.A.) and Umar (R.A.) were there. In this
way, he was remembered. Then after a few times he was
remembered that the Prophet said and he was in such place and
with him Abu Baker (R.A.) and Umar (R.A.) were with him
there. So that companion turned his face and looks at him and
when he thinks more carefully and he recognized that he was Ali
Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.).”
Afterward, he told the story “ Once Umar (R.A.) told if he
788
would be one hair on the chest of Abu Baker (R.A.).”

The story of one Darwesh
On the Sunday on the 8th of the month of Safar in the 714
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. He said
about one Darwesh that “ He is dearly one of Allah. If any dear
person of Allah will involve in the world, then he will not
remain dearer one of Allah. ”
The destruction of Lahore city
Afterward the discussion about history was started that
today the Lunar month date is 28 th and not 29th and from here he
started the story “ Once in Suhader the moon was seen on 27 th
and it was happening that during that year there were three
months of were passed of 29 days and there was cloud and dust
so the moon was not seen. So the people of the city counted
every month of 30 days. When three months were passed away,
then the moon was seen on 27 th or 28th and afterward it was
known that they were mistaken. Afterward, he said “Owing to
this there was a fall of calamity on the people of Suhader. And
the other problem which was there that some merchants of
Suhader went to Gujrat and in those days Gujrat was under rule
of the Hindus. In short, when Hindu merchants want to purchase
their goods they told the price of the goods double but at that
time of selling them reduced half price of goods which they told
them before. It was the habit of Hindus of that place, that
whatever they sell the goods they declare its correct price. In this
way, they used to sell the goods at one price. In short,when one
merchant has seen the dealings of the merchants of Suhader than
one merchant of Gujrat asked them from which place they came
there.? . He said from Suhader.That Hindu told “ Whether that
city is habituated.?” He said “Yes”. That Hindu told “ The city if
789
there is such dealings then it will not be habituated.” In short,

when merchants were coming back to Suhader and they heard
during the way that infidels were destructive Suhader city.”
The people claiming of the miracles
On Tuesday on the 12th of the Safar month in the year 714
discussion about such persons was started who claim the
miracles. And made themselves illustrious in revelation. There is
no value in this matter. Allah kept upon his holy persons the
miracles to keep hiding and it as an obligation as like that the
manifestation of miracles of the Prophets of Allah. If any holy
person will manifest miracle, then he will leave the obligation in
this matter.”
Saluk (mysticism)
Afterward, he said there are 100 stages of the Saluk
(mysticism) and among them the stage of revelation and
miracles is 17th rank in it. If mysticism (Saluk) will be left at this
stage, then how he will pass from the remaining stages.?
The service of the guests
Afterward the discussion about, the service of guests was
started. He told the prophet said “ Those people who will give
water to the nation, then they should drink it after all of them.”
Upon this, he said “ In eating meals. It should be done like that.
Which is expedient, and one should never eat before than
others.”
Afterward, he said “ It is expedient of the host that he should
wash his hands first before washing the hands of the guests.
Because his hands should be first clean, then he should wash the
hands of the others. At the time of drinking water, he should
790
give water to others, then he should drink water later.”

Afterward, he said “ The holy persons said one who will
want to wash the hands, then he stood and washes the hands of
the guests. Upon this, he said “ One person came in the service
of the Sheikh Junaid of Baghdad to wash his hands and he sat
there. When he sat then Sheikh stood so he asked why.? He said
“ It is expedient for him to stand and wash the hands. As he sat
so it is expedient for him to stand.”
Afterward, he said “ Once Imam Shafei was a guest at the
house of Imam Malik then Imam Malik washed the hands of
Imam Shafei.” Upon this, he said “ Once Imam Shafei arrived as
a guest at the house of some friend. That friend prepared the list
of the meals which are required to prepare and he was written on
the paper and he was given the list of meals items to his slave
woman and he asked her it is must to prepare those meal items
and he left from there for some work. Imam Shafei took the list
of meals items and he was added some more items as per his
wish to be prepared. When the house owner came there and
meals were arranged there, then upon seeing some more food
items the house owner went to see the slave woman asked the
reason for this matter.? She showed him the paper. When he saw
the paper that Imam Shafei was adding some more meals in the
paper when he was happy very much in this matter and he was
freed the slave woman along with other small slave boys.”
Afterward the discussion about eating of the meals was
started and he said “ In Baghdad city, there was one Darwesh
was there and his piece of cloth spread for serving dishes were
used to spend daily 1200 bowls of meals and who had 18
kitchens.”
In short, one day he asked his servants, whether anybody is
791
missing while distributing foods. They told him “No, we are

giving food to all individuals.” Again the Sheikh told them to
check again in this matter and they said we keep in mind
everybody. We called all of them at the time of eating of meals.
Whoever it is required to give the food and it will be given to all
of them. Then Sheikh told him that “ In this work there should
no mistake be done to anybody at all.” The servants told “How
Sheikh knew this matter.” He has said “ For three days I could
not find my food.” As there were many kitchens were there so
for this reason they think that other kitchen will send food.
Everybody thinks such that from other kitchen food will be sent
to the Sheikh and when three days passed when the Sheikh was
disclosed this matter.”
Afterward the discussion of the water reservoir of the Sultan
was started. He said “ It is said that upon the death of Sultan
Shamsuddin he was seen in the dream and he asked how Allah
was treated by him.?” He stated that “ For the sake of reservoir
he was forgiven by Allah.”
Sheikh Naseeruddin
On Wednesday on the 27th Safar month, in the year 714
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. One day
before it means on Tuesday with Naseeruddin Mahmood, who
was a disciple of the best belief and I was taken advice from him
that tomorrow is Wednesday which is thought by the people
unlucky. So we go in the service of Khaja Sahib so that
inauspicious will change into the felicity. In short, on the
Wednesday he and I went into the service of the Sheikh and we
told him all about the event on Tuesday. He smiled and he said
“Yes, the people think this day as unfortunate, but they do not
know that this day is with felicity and very good that if anybody
792
is born on this day then he will become pious one ”.

Temperament
Afterward the discussion started about the temperament of
some people that they used to become worse whose nature will
be more delicate than he will become angry. As per the meaning
of the above he recited one Rubai (quatrain) in the Persian
poetry.
Change of hearts of the kings
Afterwards he said about the changes of hearts of the kings
and it is from Kalmat Qudsi (holy saying of Allah) and it is
mentioned that the hearts of kings are in the hands of Allah. The
Prophet of Allah said. “ Allah says the hearts of the kings are in
my hand. ” It means, “When the creatures will be on the straight
path, then I will make soften their hearts and when they will be
not on straight path then I will make their hearts hard. ”
Afterward, he said “ The look should be kept at there and
everything should be done from there. In this connection, he told
this story “ In those days when the Qabacha was ruler of Multan
and Sultan Shamsuddin was ruler of Delhi and in between them
there was built up enmity. Sheikh Bahauddin Zikeria and Qazi
(judge) of Multan wrote their letters to Sultan Shamsuddin. And
those letters were caught by Qabacha and upon seeing the letters
he was becoming very much angry and he killed a judge and he
asked the Sheikh to come to his house. The Sheikh entered his
house without fear and he sat at the right side of Qabacha and
who gave his letter to him. Sheikh Saheb read it and he said “
Yes, I was writing this letter and written truth and do as per your
will. What you can do.? ” Qabacha when heard this than he
began thinking and given the signal to bring meals. It was
routine of the Sheikh that he did not use to eat any other place.
793
There was the target of Qabacha. If he will not eat. Then he was
thinking that he will give him trouble. When meals were brought
there, then all people started eating meals and Sheikh Sahib also
started eating meals in the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent
and Merciful and upon seeing this the anger of Qabacha was
over and Sheikh Saheb came back to his house safe.” “ In the
mind of the compiler, there was one thing to be there for which
he was not getting a chance to speak it. That was if any disciple
who used to perform five time prayers and but he did follow less
recitals, but there is very much love of the master in his heart.
And his belief to his master is perfect. And another disciple is
there who follows very many recitals and glorification and he
has performed many Hajj pilgrimages, but his belief in his
master is not right then who is excellent and whose status is
more.? ”
Afterward, he said “ One who is loving and a devotee of the
master and his one time is equal than all times of another
disciple.”
The story of Zahed (ascetic) of Bani Israel
Afterward, he said “ Some people’s religion is that pious
persons are having a preference upon the prophets of Allah.
Because the prophets are used to be engaged with the people.
This religion is wrong. Still, when the prophets of Allah get the
time they used to be engaged with Haq (reality) and that time
will be having importance of all times of holy people. In this
connection, he told one story that “ There was one Zahed
(ascetic) in Bani Israel and who did worship of Allah for a
period of 70 years. After 70 years he was required something
and he demanded that thing from Allah, but his desire was
rejected by Allah.”
794
Afterward, he went to one corner and he started fighting with

his soul and he said “ Oh: soul you have worshipped of Allah for
a period of seventy years. Indeed, there is not any sincerity in it.
If there will be sincere, then the demand will be fulfilled surely
by Allah. When he was fighting the soul, then he heard the
divine call in which he was heard “ Tell that mystic that his
fighting with the soul is better than his worship for a period of
70 years.”
The meaning of the Urs
On Tuesday on the 17th of Rabil Awwal month in the year
person from the audience asked the meaning of the Urs and he
said the meaning of the Urs is to perform Urs and its meaning is
in the night time camping of the caravan. After that, the
discussion about the piousness of the learned persons was
started. And also about their truth and caring of orders of the
master and demand of reality and he told this story. “ One time
Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil was asked a question with Sheikh
Fariuddin that the people say like this that at the time you will
perform the prayer and after that you will call “Ya Raab” and
then you hear Labaik (welcome) and afterward he said “No.”
Afterward, he said “ This is false news which is spread and it
was a prelude of silence. It means it was false.” Afterward
Sheikh Najibuddin said “ People say that Prophet Khizer (A.S.)
used to visit him and he said “ No.” He also asked that “The
persons of invisible used to visit him.” He replied in this matter
negative reply. He told only this that “ You are also from Abdals
(an order to saints).” From here, the excellence of mother of
Sheikh Fariduddin was started. He said “ There will be an effect
of the capacity of the parents on their children.”
795
The excellence of mother of Sheikh Fariduddin

Afterward, he said “ The mother of Sheikh Fariduddin was a
very pious lady. One night one thief came into her house and all
were sleeping there and only the mother of the Sheikh was wake
up there and she took part in the worship of Allah and when the
thief came there and he was becoming blind. He was not in a
position to go out. He called “ Is there is any man is there in the
house? , and, for him, he is like being his father. If there is any
woman he thinks she is his mother and sister to him. Whoever is
there and their fear is affected and I was becoming blind and till
my remaining life I never do stealing work again. ” The mother
of Sheikh prayed for him and his eyesight was coming back and
he went away from the house. At the time of daybreak the
mother of the Sheikh did not disclose this matter to anybody.
After some time she saw that person who was carrying butter,
milk earthen jar on his head and he came there with his wife.
And she asked to him, “ Who are you.? ” He said “ He came into
the house for robbery work and at that time one holy woman
was wake up and due to her curse, he was becoming blind when
she prayed, then him having eyesight. Then he was promised
that when he will have an eyesight then he will not do the work
of robbery. Now I myself came here along with my wife so that
we both become Muslims.” In short, due to the blessing of that
holy woman, they become Muslim and repented of not doing
robbery work.”
Afterward, he told one story in this connection “ In those
days when Sheikh Fariduddin was residing in Ajodhan and he
sent Sheikh Najibuddin to bring his mother there. Sheikh
Najibuddin went and he brought his mother there. They were
sitting under the shade of trees. There was the necessity of water
796
so he went away in search of water and when he came back

there and he could not find his mother. So he began searching
her in the right and left side and his search a lot there, but he
could not find her. He is surprised at this matter and went into
the service of Sheikh Kabir and told him the whole story. The
Sheikh told him “ To prepare meals and give charity.” After a
long time when Shaikh Najibuddin gotten the chance to visit that
place and under the trees he thought to see there so that he could
find signs of the mother. He does like that and upon searching
he got some bones of the man so thought in his mind that it may
bones of his mother and she was killed by a tiger or any beast in
the jungle so he collected all bones and put them in one bag and
he went in the service of Shaikh Fariduddin and he told him all
story. The Sheikh Saheb asked him to show me the bag and
when the bag was put down, then there was not found any bone
from it. When Khaja Sahib reached at this point, so he shut,
tears and he said this matter is a wonderful thing.”
The persons of invisible
Afterward the discussion about persons of invisible was
started. Khaja Sahib said “ In the beginning some time there will
be ideas in his mind that to sitting together among the persons
and then re-think again in this matter that how is such thinking?.
And it should be there for some experience which is required in
this matter.”
Here he told one story that “ Sheikh Qutubuddin Bakhtiar
Kaki in the beginning days he was in Owesh and in that city
corner one deserted mosque was there. One minaret of that
mosque is called hafat (seventh) minaret. He was able to know
that the prayer which is done on that minaret. Then one can meet
Prophet Khizer (A.S.). The supplication was one, but it was
797
called Hafat supplication and this one to have to be prayed

along with of two rakat there. Two rakat have to pray in that
mosque, then that person will able to meet Prophet Khizer
(A.S.). In short Sheikh Qutubuddin has liking to see Prophet
Khizer (A.S.). In the night of the month of Ramzan he went into
that mosque and prayed two rakat there and prayed on that
minaret and come down and he stayed there for some time. But
he could not see anybody. So with disappointment, he left from
that mosque and then he saw one person who was standing
there. That person called him “Why he came untimely there.? ”.
He told “ He came there to see Prophet Khizer (A.S.) and prayed
two rakat and made supplication in this matter, but he could not
find such felicity so now gone back to the house. ” That person
told “What do you do with Khizer (A.S.)? .And he is also like
you who is wandering here and there so what do you do by
looking him?.”
During the period, he asked him “ Do you demand the
world? ” Sheikh Seihib told “No.’” Then again, he asked “ Are
you in debt? ” He said “No.” He told then, “What do you with
Khizer (A.S.)?. ” That person, told “In this city. There is one
person and on his door Khizer (A.S.) went 12 times there, but he
could not get to enter into the house. ” They were busy in the
conversation and at that time one person of grace with a
beautiful face and a clean dress came there and that person has
given him very much respect and he was falling down at his
feet. Sheikh Qutubuddin said, “ When that person came there
and he addressed to the first person and asked he is not in debt
and he is not in need of the world and he wants only meet with
you.” ” During this time there was shouting of prayer call and
from all sides Darwesh and Sufi was appearing there. And upon
calling Takbir (announcement of the initiation of congregational
798
prayers) and the prayer was started. One person became Imam
(leader) in prayer and he was recited 12 parts Of the Quran.
There was an idea in my mind that it is better if he will recite
some more parts of the Quran. In short the prayer was ended and
all persons left there and I came back to my place. When the
night fall in the second night I proceed with ablution to that
mosque early and sat there and nobody was not appearing there.
Tolerance
On Friday on the 20th Rabil Awwal month, in the year 714
discussion about tolerance and to be away from the experience
and fighting was started. He said “ There are two things, one is
the heart and the other is the soul. When somebody will treat
with a soul, then with him to deal with the heart. It means in the
soul enmity, clamour and mischief and in the heart there is
silence, willingness and softness is there. When somebody
fights, then treat him with softness so that soul will be
overcome. If any person will treat with soul and if another
person will treat with a soul. Then there will be no limit of
enmity will be there. Then for the excellence of tolerance and
the order he was reciting one couplet of the Persian.
Amounts from the conquests
On the Thursday, in the month of Jamadil Akhair in the year
of Hijira year 712, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. The discussion about acceptance of the amounts of
conquests was started. I told him that “ I never beg anything
from anybody. If somebody, will give you something, then what
is the order in this matter.? He told “ To take it.”
Afterward, he said “Once the Prophet of Allah was given
something to Umar bin Qattab (R.A.). Umar bin Qattab (A.S.)
799
said “ Oh prophet of Allah, he has something with him so your

honour to give it to any beggar. ” The prophet told him, “ When
you get anything without asking then to eat it and give it in
charity.”
On Sunday 29th Rajab month in the year 712 Hijira, I was
sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The discussion of the
matter of my salary, which is stopped and now paid to me.
When Khaja Sahib comes to know about salary amount and my
firmness so he said, “ In these works there should be firmness is
required and to do such things always which is very great thing.”
Afterward, he said “ Daughter’s son of Sheikh Fariduddin
Kabir Malik used to go to the house of Nizamuddin Kotwal.
(Police chief of a town) and due to constant of such visits
Nizamuddin Kotwal was upset with him and he told him do not
visit the house next time. But he did not stop in this matter. In
those days, Nizamuddin was sent to me six gold coins to me and
which I was not accepted and sent back to him. When he came
back, he was given those six gold coins to Kabir Malik.”
Afterward, he said “ For every work there will be fruit of its
employment.” Regarding my salary amount he said “ In Bani
Israel one ascetic who was performed very much obedience of
Allah. At last Allah sent a revelation to his prophet to convey his
message that why he suffers such difficulties in the obedience.
We have given you birth to the condolence. When the prophet
was conveyed Allah’s message than he with happiness and he
was turning round and round and the prophet told him “ What is
the situation of happiness here. ” He said “ At last he was
remembered him.”
Afterward the discussion about tolerance was started. During
this time, he was told one story of Sheikh Fariduddin that“ He
800
was famous for tolerance and endurance to eradication of the

enemies.” Upon this, he told with his holy tongue “ Those who
kill so let him do this. At last the killer is murderer.”
Afterward. I told “ The people used to read supplication of “
Euni Ebad Allah Rahmakum Allah. ” and how it is?” . My real
request in this matter is that to ask for help other than Allah is
permissible or not?.” He said “ The prayer is like that and in it
hidden ” Ebad Allah al-Muslamin Wa Muqlisin. ” It is legal and
it should be read like that and pious persons have read this
supplication. Afterward, he said Sheikh Najibuddin used to
recite this prayer.”
The piousness of Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil
From here, the discussion about the piousness of Sheikh
Najibuddin Mutawakil was started. He said “ He did not find
such a person in the city. He does not know what is name of
today or a month ?, or what is the rate of the grains on which
rate these?, are sold or what is selling price of mutton.? In short,
he does not know anything. He was always busy in the worship
of Allah. ” Afterward, he told “About the prayer for the
supplication to fulfill the desires and in it the prayer of Sabat
Asher was mentioned. ” I asked whether to read it “ Every day
on the prescribed time? ” He said “ If there is any difficulty of
the world or of religion, then it should be read with this intention
separately, then with the help of Allah that work or important
affair will be fulfilled.”
Tarawih prayer (special night prayers in Ramadan)
On Wednesday on the 24th, in Ramadan month in the year
discussion about Tarawih prayer was started. Also, for those
who complete the reading of the Quran and he said once one
801
Dervish came in the night in the shrine building of Khaja Junaid

of Baghdad. Perhaps that night was the first night of Ramadan
and he was requested to lead the Tarawih prayer there so the
Sheikh was giving him permission. In short, in 30 days he was
completed 30 Quran. The Sheikh used to send him to his room
one bread and one Koza (pitcher) of water. When Tarawih
prayer was over and Eid (Ramadan festival) was celebrated, then
the Sheikh told him goodbye. When he left from there, then he
was seen in his room that there 30 breads were there and he used
to live on the water of pitcher.”
Imam Abu Hanifa
Afterwards he told this story that Imam Abu Hanifa of
Baghdad was used to finish one Quran in Tarawih (special night
prayers in Ramadan) prayers. He will finish in one Quran in one
night and one day and which will become total 61 Quran in the
year which will be finished by him. It means for one Quran in
Tarawih and one Quran for 30 days and 30 nights.
The Eid of Nav Raoz festival
On Saturday, on the 11th of Zil Hajj month in the year 714
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch of the feet of the Sheikh. Those
were days of Tashreeq (the days of Tashreeq are the 11 th, 12th
and 13th of Dhu’l-Hijjah). He addressed to me and he said
“There was an Eid festival on Friday and there was an exchange
of greetings among ourselves. I said “ Before this Eid day there
was a “Nov Roze Eid” festival and recited one couplet in which
there was mention of Eid (festival) and “Nav Roz Eid” in it.
Upon hearing this couplet, he was happy very much in this
matter. He said “ Once Shams Dabir was present in the service
of Sheikh Fariduddin and he brought some couplets in praise of
the Sheikh and asked his permission to read them. The Sheikh
802
asked him to read them. He stood and reads those couplets. Then
he asked him to sit. Again he said Shams Dabir to read the
couplets. Afterward Khaja Sahib read every couplet with his
holy Tongue. Khaja Sahib said “ The learned persons used to
listen less poetry specially those couplets in which there will be
praise of them. See the condition of the perfection of the Sheikh
is that he was listening and then he was praising the couplets. In
short when he heard those couplets and he said “What do you
meaning in this matter.? ” Shams Dabir told him “ He was
facing hardship. My mother is older and he is doing look after to
his mother. The Sheikh told “ To go and bring the amount of
thanks.” At that time Khaja Sahib told “ Any work when Sheikh
of Islam gives instruction to somebody then he used to say go
and bring the amount of thanks then that work is surely
complete. ” In short Shams Dabir went there and he brought
some Chetals (local currency). In those days, Chetals were made
of the arrows. In short, he was brought to 50 Chetals or less and
presented this amount in the service of the Sheikh. The Sheikh
of Islam asked to distribute among the persons in the audience
and among them I have got four Chetals. Then the Sheikh was
praying in this matter. Shams Dabir got wealth and dignity. So
Malik Dabir was appointed as secretary of the son of Sultan
Gheyasuddin and his work was completed. Even though the
Sheikh was dying, but he hasn’t done such service of the sons of
the Sheikh and his household as required in this matter and
perhaps nobody did not instruct him in this matter.”
Afterward the discussion about good manners of Shams
Dabir was started, then I told him “ He is related to him. ” Khaja
Sahib asked “ Whether you met with him. ” I told “ In those
days when Sultan Gheyasuddin went to Lunknow I was with the
army and we both were travelling in the land and water together.
803
Sheikh Sahib asked “ Whether he belongs your community.” I

said “ Yes” your honour he was belonging to our community.”
Afterward, he said Shams Dabir was studying the biography of
Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori by Sheikh Fariduddin.”
Afterward, he told me. “ Shams Dabir and Sheikh Jamaluddin
Hansavi once went together in the service of the Sheikh. And we
have passed away some destinations, then reach at such place
from where one way goes to Sasnam and another way to Sarmati
and where, when we said goodbye to each other then at that time
Sheikh Jamaluddin recited a half couplet from Persian poetry
from which we all three persons were enjoyed very much in this
matter.”
The miracles of pious persons
On the Saturday on the 29th of Zil Hajj month in the year 714
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh and from
which there arose in my mind some worry that someone was
created some misunderstanding in the service of the Sheikh
about me. When I was present in the service of the Sheikh then
he first told that “ If any person will do backbiting with any
person then he can distinguish that thing, whether such is right
or false or in it there is excitement.” And when I have heard this
then I was becoming very happy. I told “ We servants have
confidence in this matter and innermost of your honour is the
judge in this matter.”
Afterward the discussion about revelation and miracles was
started and he said “ About Sheikh Saduddin Hamuya, he was
the spiritual guide of holy persons. But the local ruler even
though was not to his devotee. One day that the ruler was passed
from the shrine building of the Sheikh and sends his courtier
804
into the building so that he can bring out that Sufi person so he
can see him there. The courtier was going inside and given, the
message of the ruler. But the Sheikh was not paid any attention
to this matter and he was engaged in prayer. The courtier came
outside and he was informed of the situation of the ruler so the
anger of the ruler was no more and he came inside, then the
Sheikh stood to pay respect to him and showed him cheerfulness
in this matter. And both of them sat together at one place. There
was a garden nearby. The Sheikh asked to bring some apples.
When apples were brought there, then the Sheikh began eating
the apples and he was also given to the ruler. On that tray, there
was a big apple and there was thought in the ruler’s mind that if
there any miracle and cleanliness are there with the Sheikh then
he will give me that apple. When this idea came into the ruler’s
mind, then Sheikh pick up that apple and he addressed the king
and he said “ Once he was reached in one city while travelling
and where I have seen one gathering of the people was there.
And one person was playing there and in that place there was
one donkey with him and his eyes were covered with the cloth.
During this time, that player was given his ring to one person in
the gathering. And he said to the audience that this donkey will
show that man who is having the ring. Then he was moved the
donkey in the gathering with covering his eyes with the cloth
and that donkey was moved by smelling in the gathering and
then he was stopped near that man who was having the ring with
him. The player reached that person and he was collecting the
ring. In short, Sheikh Saduddin after such long conversation he
told the king that if the people show miracles or revelation like
that donkey and if they did not show, then there will be thinking
in your mind that there is no miracles and cleanliness in that
person. ” Upon saying this he was thrown that apple towards
805
him.
Afterward on the death of Sheikh Saduddin and Sheikh
Saifuddin he told one story about Sheikh Bakherzi. He said that
“One night Sheikh Saduddin was shown in the dream that he
went to meet Sheikh Saifuddin Bakherzi and when Sheikh
Saifuddin was wake up, then he left for his place and there was
journey time required about 3 months and also Sheikh Saifuddin
was shown that We have sent Sheikh Sadduddin Hamuya to see
him. In short, when there were three destinations left, then he
sent somebody to Sheikh Saifuddin that, he has covered the
journey of three months so you should welcome him at the three
destinations. When he heard this message, he said “ It is useless
and he will not see him.” So he was dying at that destination and
Sheikh Sadduddin Hamuya could not be able to see Sheikh
Saifuddin. ”
Death of Sheikh Saduddin
Afterward, he said “ He was heard from one disciple of
Sheikh Bahuddin Zikeria that one day Sheikh Bhauddin came
out of his place and he said “Ena Elahi Rajiun.” And when it
was asked why? He said “Sheikh Sadduddin Hamuya was
dying.” After some days it was known that at that time Sheikh
Sadduddin Hamuya was dying. Afterward Khaja Sahib said “
First Sheikh Sadduddin Hamuya was dying and after three years
Sheikh Saifuddin Ba-Kharzi was dying and after three years
Sheikh Bahauddin Zikeria was dying and after three years
Sheikh Fairuddin was dying.”
The attribute of the world
On Thursday on the 15th of the Muherram month in the year
discussion was started about the attribute of the world, that in
806
which thing the world is available and in which thing the world
is not available. He said “ As per one consideration of the
modesty the world is there in the face and in its meaning. And
from one more matter, it is not in the face or it is not there in the
meaning. And as per from one more point, it is there in the face
and not in meaning and also as per other thought , it is not there
in fact but it is there in the meaning.”
Afterward, he said “ The thing which is more than expenses
and that is there in the face and in the meaning of the world.
Which is not there in the face and in the meaning in the world
and which is there in sincerity and obedience. And it is not the
world of the manifest. But it is available there in the reality. And
which is such sincerity which is done for the sake of geeting of
benefit and which is in appearance is the world. But in reality it
is not. Because it is fulfilling the rights of his wife. Its meaning
to do intercourse with the wife with the intention to fulfill his
rights. Even though this is an act of manifest in the world. But in
reality it is not the world.”
The recitals and invocation of Allah
On the Sunday on the 5th of the month of Safar in the year
discussion about the recitals and remembrance of Allah was
started. He asked me “ Which recital I am performing
nowadays.? ” I told him that “ Which I heard with his holy
tong.” After five congregational prayers and verses advising by
him I will be recite.” After the Asar (late afternoon) prayer recite
five times Sura Naba and other fixed verses in the Sunnah (as
per practice of the prophet) prayer which was told by him. And
two times Sabat Asher and 100 times recites from “ La Ilha Illa
Llah Wahadahu la Sharika Lahu Lahul Mulk.”
807
Afterward, he said “ There are ten glorifications of God,

which should be recited 100 times each so that it should become
1000. If anybody will not recite 100 times, then he should recite
10 times and then its total will become 100 times. ”
The ten glorifications of Allah are as follows.
1. “ La Ilha Illahu Wahdahu la Sharika Lahu, Lahul Mulku
Wahal Hamdu Yuhi Ya Yumetu Wahaiu La Yamutu Zil Jalal
Wal Akram Beaiduil Khair Wahuya Ala Kuli Shain Qadir”
2. “ Subhan Allahi Wal Hamdu Allah Wala Elaha Illah Lahu
Wallah Akbar Wala Haulala Wal Quwata Ellabilla Al Aliul
Azeem Al Aliyul Azeem.”
3. “ Subhan Allah Behamdihe Subhan Allah Al Alul Azeem Wa
Behamdahi Astaffirulla Min Kulli Zanbi Watubu Alai.”
4. “Astafirallah Al-Lazi La Elaha Ellalahu Al Ahyul Qayyum
Wasilat Tauba Astagfirllah Min Kulle Zanbin Umadan Wa Qata
Qa Sirra Wa Elaniyata Wa Toubu Alai.”
5.“Subhan Al-Mamilk Al-Quddus Subhu Quddus Rab Malaikati
Wa Rooh.”
6. “ Al-Hahumma La Mane La Atait Wal Mati Lmaa Manat
Wala Maqaziat Wal Yanfe Wa Zadjar Wala Minka Aljadr.”
7. “Allahumma Agfirli Wala Wal Wladi Al Astazi Wal Jamie
Al-Momien Wal Mominat Wal Muslim Wal Muslemat Al-Ahya
Minat Amwat.”
8. “Alahumma Salla Ala Mohammadin Wala Ala Mohamadin
Wa Barik Wa Salam Wa Sala Al Jamie Al- Anbia Al-
Mursalimin. ”
9. “Azubellaha Al-Sami Al-Aleem Min Al-Shaitan Al-Rajim
Azoubeka Min Hamzat Al-Shaitan Wa Azoubeka Rab An
808
Yahrifun.”
10. Bis Milla Kahir – Isma Bismilla Al-Lazi La Yufir Ma Esman
Shai Fe Al- Araz Wala Fe Al-Isama Wahu Al-Sami Aleem. ”
The Love and wisdom
On the Sunday on the 11th of the month of Safar in the year
715 Hijira , I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
The discussion about love and wisdom was started. He said “
Both are against of each other. The learned persons are people of
wisdom. The Darwesh are people of lovers. The wisdom of
learned persons is overwhelming to the love of the Darwish.
And the love of the Darwish is overwhelming on the wisdom of
learning persons. Of the prophets of Allah, there were available
these two conditions. Afterward, he recited with his holy tongue
one Persian couplet.
In the meaning of the Persian couplet he told one story “ In
Multan city, there was one person and his name was Ali Khukri
and who was living there. If in the person there will be no love
and pain and then he will not become a devotee of any such
person. Whether if that will be a great ascetic or worshipper.
And he used to say that such and such person is nothing and he
does not have love. He could not pronounce the word Isak (love)
in Urdu correctly and he used to say it as Isak. In this
connection, he said “ Hazrat Yahiha Maze (R.A.) says that one
particle of love is greater than the worship of all mankind and
fairies.” He said “ Sheikh Fariduddin used to say many times to
one person that Allah gives pain to him. That person was
surprised that how is that supplication.? At that time he was able
to know the meaning of the supplication. ”
Afterward the discussion about Sheikh Jaluddin Tabrazi was
809
started and he told one story “ Once he was reached in Badayun

and he was sitting at the silt of the door. At that time, one person
while keeping a jar of buttermilk was passing from there. He
was a resident of Mawasi and which is near the village of
Badayun and it is also called Khaterki and where robbers and
dacoits used to reside there. That seller of buttermilk also
belonged to that village. In short when his look falls in the face
of Sheikh Jalaluddin then upon sees it his mind was changed.
When he looked carefully and he said “ In the religion of the
Prophet of Mohammed (peace be upon him) there is such
person.” He immediately accepted the faith in the Islamic
religion. Sheikh put his name as Ali. When he was become
Muslim, then he was brought from his house 100,000 Chitals
(local currency) for the service of the Sheikh and he accepted it
and asked him to keep with him. And he asks to spend it as per
his advice in this matter. In short the distribution of money was
started and he was given to someone 100 Chitals and to others
less than this amount and but nobody wasn’t received less than
five Chitals. In the short period of time all money was over and
one Chital was left. Ali says in his mind, there was an idea came
that and it was given at least five Chitals to every person and if
he will ask to give five Chitals than what he will do?. He was
thinking such that and there came a beggar and the Sheikh told
him “To give one Chital.”
In excellence of Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrazi, when he was left
from Badayun toward Luckow then Ali was also going behind
him. He told him “To return back. ” He told “ To whom he
should go and except you I do not know other person.? ” He said
again to him “ To go and returned Back. ” He told “ To whom
he should go. Except you I do not anybody.? ” He told him
again “ To get turned back. ” He said “ I do not know anybody,
810
except you. ” He told him “ To Return back.” He told “You are

my saint and master and what I will do here without you.? ” The
Sheikh told him “To return back because this city is in your
favour.”
The condition of Mutabadun (worshippers)
Afterward the discussion about Mutabadun (worshippers)
was started and he said “ Who will do obedience very much, but
in their hearts there will be thinking of worldly matters. There
are four kinds of creatures.”
1. Their manifest is decorated, but their innermost is not good.
2. Their manifest is not good, but their innermost is decorated.
3. Their manifest and innermost both are not good.
4. Their manifest and innermost both are decorated.
Those people whose manifest are decorated, but their
innermost are not good and they are called Mutabid
(worshipper) and who do very much obedience but their hearts
are engaged in the world. That group, whose innermost is
decorated but their manifest is not good and these are people
who are called mad and they used to engage in the invocation of
Allah in their innermost and in the manifesto they will not be
with nescessaries. Those people whose manifest and innermost
are not good are called learned people. Those people whose
manifest and innermost are good called Mashaiq (venerable
person).
The love of the beggar with king’s daughter
On the Wednesday on the 22th of the month of Rabbil
Awwal in the year 715 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet
of the Sheikh.
He told “ To come in the way of reality in as per any way and
811
in any dress and its result will be there upon truth.” In this
connection, he told this story “ Once one beggar was looking at
the daughter of the king and seeing her he was becoming her
lover in deep love. On the other side of the girl was also
becoming his lover. And the girl sent message “ Oh Derwesh in
the present situation there are no possibilities of meeting with
us. And there is one method and if you will do then it be
possible to meeting of us together that you build up one worship
place and sit in the mosque and do obedience and worship there
then your fame will be more there. At that time I visited to see
you there while taking permission from my father. He did the
same and he went into one mosque and there he was engaged in
the worship of Allah. When there were fervor and obedience
was increased he was increasing his worship very much then he
was becoming very much famous. Then the daughter of the
king, took permission from his father and she went there to see
her lover in the mosque. Then there was same Darwesh and
same beauty also was there, but the girl did not see in him any
desire of her on him or signs of movement. So she said “ I
taught you this method but now you were not paying any
attention towards her. The Derwesh told her “Who are you.?
And I do not know who you Are.? ” In short, by leaving her he
was engaged in the invocation of Allah.
When Khaja Sahib was reached on this point he was shut in
tears. Afterward, he told this story that “ Sheikh Abdulla
Mubarak in his youth days he was becoming the lover of one
woman. One night he went under the wall and he was started
talking with her and in that conversation at night finished and he
talked till the day break time. When there was call for morning
prayer, he thought it was the prayer call of Eisha (night) prayer
but, it was morning prayer. During that time, he heard the divine
812
call in which it said “ Oh: Abdullah you spent there with the
love of a woman standing throughout the night. But you were
not like that with Us.” Upon hearing this he was repenting and
he was engaged in the invocation of Allah. The reason of his
repentance was this event.
During this time meals were brought there and one person
came there and he said salam and he sat there. The Sheikh said “
Once Sheikh Abul Qasim Nasirabadi who is master of Sheikh
Abu Saeed Abul Khair and he was busy with eating meals along
with his friends and at that time Imam of Hermain (leader of two
mosques in Makkah and Madina) and who was a master of
Imam Ghazali came over there and he said salam. Sheikh Abul
Qasim and his friends did not care about his salam. When meals
were eaten then Imam of Haramain said “ I came here and said
salam but you did not reply and what is reasonable in this
matter?.” Sheikh Abul Qasim said “ It is the same tradition that
when somebody will come in any group when they are busy in
the eating meals, then he should not convey his salam to them
and when he will reach there then sit and start eating meals.
When he will finish eating meals, then he should wash his hand
and then he should convey his salam. ” Imam of Haramain
asked,“It is whether from the wisdom or from Naqal
(narration)?. He said “ It is as per Wisdom. ” He asked “ How it
is.?” He said “ The meals which are eaten for the purpose of
obedience and that the person who is eating will be exactly in
obedience so one who is in the obedience of Allah like prayer
etc. Then how he will reply salam.? ” One person from the
audience asked those Hindu people who read kalima (Islamic
creed) and belief in one God and who accept the Prophet of
Allah but when Muslim will come when he will be in silence.
How he will be his result?.” The Sheikh said “ His matter is with
813
Allah, whether he will be forgiven, or he will be given

punishment.”
He said “ Some Hindus people know well that religion of
Islam is true, but they did not become Muslims.”
From here the story of Abu Talib was started and he said “
When he was becoming ill, then the Prophet of Allah went near
to him and he asked him to accept one time in the unity of Allah
and it should by tongue or by his heart so that I should say to
Allah that you accepted faith.” He explained him very much in
this matter, but there was no effect at all on him. His death
came from the condition of infidelity. Ali bin Taleb (A.S.) told
him “Oh: prophet of Allah. Your uncle was dying in misguided.
” He said “ To give him washing and cover him with a shroud
and through him from the upper side without grave and it means
do not keep him in any special style.”
The land revenue
On the Saturday of the 9th of the Jamil Awwal month in the
year 715 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
The discussion about the person who collects the land revenue
and its installments with creatures was started. In the area of
Shuader in one village, there was one Darwesh and who used to
do cultivation there. And with this he will get his livelihood
there. Nobody will not ask anything of him. Once one person
was appointed Kotwal (police chief) there and he was demanded
from him a share. And he has said “ For many years you are
producing grains so give the land tax of those years or show any
miracle. ” Darwesh asked “ What is a miracle.? And, he is the
poorest person. ” Kotwal told him “ Until you will not show any
miracle, then I will not leave You. ” So Darwesh worried in this
matter and after some time he looked at the police chief and he
814
asked “What a miracle he wants to see from him.? ” There was a

river near that village. He asked to run on the river water.
Darwesh passed the river while putting his feet there like dry
land and when he reached the other end, then he was demanding
boat so that he can return back from there. When he was asked
to come back as he was going there, then he said “ No, because
the soul will become fat and think that he was becoming
something in this matter.”
Meals and guests
Afterward the discussion about meals and taking care of the
guests was started. He said in this matter. There is saying of the
prophet is there. “ Min Za Hiya Walm Yaziq Minhu Shanyan
Nika Nema Zar Meta.” And its meaning and interpretation is
that “ One who has visited anybody in his lifetime and but he
did not taste anything of him so he will become such a person
who has visited the dead person. ”
Afterward, he said “ Bahuddin Zikeria said he did not have
this habit with him that when the creature will come to visit him
then will return them without eating meals and drinking. “
One person asked him there is saying of the prophet of Allah
“Za Hiya Walm Yaziq Minu Shanyan Nika Nema Zaire Meta. ”
And the Sheikh “Yes”. That person asked him that then “Why
he did not act upon It.?” The Sheikh said “The people did not
know its meaning. There are two kinds of people are there. One
is general people and other is special people. He is not
concerned with the general, persons and those who are special
people know the meaning of this saying of the prophet. I used to
talk about Allah and the prophet and mysticism with them and
from which there is beneficial for them.”
The Sheikh Sahib told with his holy tongue that “ When the
815
companions used to present in the service of the prophet then

they will eat something there and then they will return from
there. For eating, whether date, bread or something or any other
thing which will be available there. Afterward, he said “ If
Bederudden Ghaznavi did not have anything, then he will say to
bring water. ”
Afterward the discussion about Sheikh Bahauddin Zekria was
started and he told this story that “ There was one dearer person
of Allah came into his service of Sheikh Bahuddin Zikeria and
he said one time he was singing Sama in the service of Sheikh
Shabuddin. Sheikh Bahuddin said, “ Because Shaikh Shabuddin
was heard Sama so Zikeria should hear Sama.? ” Afterward, he
kept Abdulla with him. When there was nightfall, then he asked
one person to take Abdullah into the room along with his friend
and there was no third person more there. There that person and
his friend and the Sheikh were there only and this said by
Abdulla that me and my friend were taken in the room. When
the Eisha prayer was performed and when the Sheikh was
finished his recitals, then he came into the room alone there or
where we two persons were there or he was there in the room.
Sheikh was sitting there and was engaged in his recitals and
about half part of the Quran, he was recited and afterward he
closed the door with the chain. He said to me to say something.
Then I started Sama meeting and the Sheikh started the
movement there and he stood and put off the lamp and there was
darkness in the room. We have continued the Sama meeting in
this way. It was known only that the Sheikh was turning around
there and when he will come nearer us then the edge of the shirt
was seen at that time and from this it was known that the Sheikh
making movement and gesture, but due to the darkness it was
not seen that he is making the movement as per blow or without
816
blow so in short when the Sama meeting was over then the
Sheikh was opened the door and he sat in his place. Me and my
friend were there and we were not given meals, etc. and the
night was passed and the day was started, then one servant came
there and he was given 20 gold coins and best dress to me and
he said the Sheikh was given it so takes it and go returned back.
”
Afterward Khaja Sahib said “ That person Abdullah went
into the service of Sheikh Fariduddin and he told this story. Over
long time again that person was intended to go to Multan and he
went into the service of the Sheikh of Islam and told him that he
wants to go Multan but the way is very dangerous. Pray for him
so that he should reach there safely. The Sheikh said “ From
here up to such and such village which is very far away and
there is one reservoir and up to where his jurisdiction is there.
Up to there you will be reach safely. From there up to Multan
the jurisdiction belongs to Sheikh Behauddin. That person
Abdulla says he was heard from this matter and he was going on
the journey and when he was reached near that reservoir, then he
was known that there is possible of looting of robbers and he
was remembered the talk of the Sheikh and I proceeded further
without any fear. Allah has thrown out of the robbers from the
way and they were forgetting the way. And I was reached safely
near that reservoir. Upon reaching there performed ablution and
prayed two rakat and after this remembered Sheikh Behauddin
and said up to here it was the limit of jurisdiction of Sheikh
Fariduddin and was reached here safely and now ahead is your
jurisdiction and now you are responsible. When I was
proceeding from the reservoir, then I was reached safely in
Multan. When I reached in the service of the Sheikh and at that
time I was wearing a ragged dress there. When Sheikh Sahib
817
saw me wearing the rag dress he was becoming upset and he

said “ Whatever you are wearing and this is Satanic dress.? ”
And, he also said very much in this matter. I was becoming
upset and said “ If I was wearing the rag dress, then what is
faulty in it.? The people having very much worldly wealth and
gold and silver with them, but I do not say anything in this
matter. ” If I am wearing the rag dress, then why you have so
much angry in this matter.?” When the Sheikh saw when
Abdulla was out of his control and he said “ Why he is making
so much talking and at last remember that reservoir. What was
told by Zikeria in your favour.?”
Anger and lust
On Wednesday of the 16th Jamidul Awwal month, in the715
Hijira year, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about anger and lust was started. He said “ Like
without situation lust is illegal and in the same way without a
situation, anger is also an illegal act. Afterward, he said “ If any
person will be angry with another person and if that person will
tolerate it, then he will get virtue and so in this way one who
will tolerate it and who will not angry from that person.” “
The cap Latia and Nashara
Afterward the discussion started about if any person will
advise then he doesn’t make it in the public place. Because of
this there will be the insult of that person. Censure or advises
whatever should be done in the loneliness. He said “ Abu Yusuf
Qazi was sitting and he was giving lessons to the friends. And
he was keeping a Sufia cap on his head and that cap was not
white but it was black and which was not Latia cap but it was
Nashara camp. Latina cap is that which is fixed to the head and
Nashera cap is that which is more in height of the head. In short,
818
during this time Malik came there and he asked questions with
Abu Yousuf “ Whether the Prophet of Allah wore such cap on
his head.?” Abu Yousuf said “Yes.” He asked again, “Whether
he wore a black cap or white cap.? ” He asked again, “ Whether
it was Latia cap or Nashera cap.?| Abu Yousuf replied “ It was
Latia cap. ” The questioner asked “ Then you are wearing
Nashera and a black cap on your head. In this way you have
done two things against the practice of the Prophet of Allah.
Then why he is mentioning the saying of the Prophet of Allah. ”
The Qazi (judge) was regretted in this matter. He told him “
Whether this matter you told and which is not as per condition
or it was told for the sake of reality.? In this condition as you
have given advice to me on the public place, so for this you will
not get a reward about it. And, if you have instructed for giving
me trouble when there is a sad and miserable thing for you.”
Repentance
On Wednesday of the 16th Jamidul Awwal month, in the
715 Hijira year, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
The discussion about repentance was started. There are three
kinds of it. Present, past and future. The present is that there is
regret and there is regret from the sins done. The past is that
from which there will be happy to enemies. If he will snatch one
Dirham from anybody and tell at the same time that sorry then
such regret is not accountable. Its repentance is to return back to
his Dirham and make him happy. Then his repentance will not
be accountable. If he said “ Harsh things to any person then he
should say sorry to him and make him happy and if he said
harsh any person who was dying, then he should do more good
deeds than harsh things which he was said to him and make him
happy. If he was killed, someone and his relatives or his
819
guardian is not living, then to free one slave. Because it is not

possible to give life to the dead person. So for this reason one
slave should be freed. When any person in such condition will
free the slave he is like the person who is giving life to the dead
person. If any person will do rape with any married slave
woman then he should not regret her, but he should search
custody of Allah.”
In this situation, he said “ If one wine drinker will repent
then he should serve people with sweet juice and cold water. ”
In the above explanation it is aimed that at the time of
repentance there should be regretted and which should relate to
the sins. The repentance of the future is that one should have this
intention that in future he should not commit any such sin.”
Afterward, he told this story “ When he was become disciple
of Sheikh Fariduddin, then I repented, many times, then he said
with his holy tongue that “ To please the enemies and to agree
the person who is having right “. And in this matter he was
exaggerated too much and he said this. I remembered that I have
to pay back 20 Chetals and one book I was taken to borrow and
which was lost by me. When Sheikh Fariduddin was given
eloquence of instruction to please the enemies, then I was able to
understand that my master was known the revelation of the
world of secrets. So I said in my heart that this time when I will
visit Delhi then I will make happy for them. When I came from
there to Delhi from Ajodhan and the man whom I was due 20
Chetals and he was a cloth merchant and from him I was
purchasing the cloth. There was no amount of 20 Chetals with
me and there was tight with means of livelihood. And I will get
some time to five and some time ten Chetals. When I got, ten
Chetals, then I went to the house of a cloth merchant and called
820
him. When he came out, then I told him that “ I have to pay you
20 Chetals. That amount I could not pay you a single time, so I
brought ten Chetals with me and balance ten Chetals I will pay
you soon if Allah wills.” When he heard, this then he told you
are coming from Muslims and upon saying this he was taken ten
Chetals from me and he said “ I have forgiven you ten Chetals”.
Afterward, I went to that person from whom I borrowed the
book and who asked me “ Who are you.? ” I told him “
Gentleman, from you I have borrowed one book and that book
was lost by me. Now I will present that book upon getting
written in your service. ” When he was heard this when he said “
From where you are coming and its result is this and then he
said I have forgiven that book to you.”
Afterward, he said about repentance “ One who will commit
sin, then his direction will be towards the sins and his back will
be towards the reality. When he will do repentance, then he
should turn his back towards sins and his face fully should be
towards the reality.”
Afterward, he said “ One who repents. Then he will get
fervor of obedience and again if he will be engaged in the sins,
then he will not get fervor from the obedience.”
Afterward, the discussion about spending was started and he
said “ Ali Ben Ali Taleb (R.A.) said to spend one Dirham on the
friends which are better than the spending of ten Dirhams. ” If
one who will spend ten Dirhams with the friends and which are
better than the spending of 100 Dirhams. If he will spend 100
Dirhams on the friends, then it is like freeing one slave.”
The creatures
On Wednesday on the 27th Shaban month, in the year 715
821
discussion about dealing with creatures was started that who are
pious persons? He said, “ In our time if we cannot say bad to
any person then to him we also can say piously to that extent.”
Afterward, he said “ If any person will not do backbite and
not say bad to the others, even though he is a bad person then he
will be called as a pious person. ”
Later he said “ If there is any person is bad and if the
creatures of Allah will say bad, then there is no limit of his bad
deeds. Then he addressed me and asked whether he is residing in
the cantonment area? I said “ Yes, your honour. I reside in the
cantonment area.” After that, he said, “ The city, its comfort is
not remaining and it’s not there.” In this connection, he told one
story that “ In the olden days he was not liked to live in the city.
One day he was there at the reservoir of Qutlaq Khan. In those
days he was memorizing the Quran and seen one Darwesh there
and who was busy with the invocation of Allah. He went to him
and asked him “Whether he belongs to this city.” He said “Yes.”
I asked him “ Whether he did not like to live in the city.?” He
said, “ No, but he is helpless.” After that Darwish told this story
that “ Once he was seen one Darwish who was out of the gate of
Kamal in that graveyard and which is situated at the back side of
the trench and located near the gate. In that cemetery, many
martyrs are buried there.” In short, that Derwish told me “ If you
want the safety of your faith then leave this city. ” “ At that time,
I was decided to leave out of the city. But such events were
happening that I could not leave from the city and for this matter
25 years were passed away. During this period, I have such
intention. But I could not go. ” The Sheikh said “ When I heard
this matter from Darwesh, then I have decided in the mind that I
will not live in this city. I have intended to go to many places
822
and some time there was intending to go to Patyai village. There

resides one Turk. With Turk, he refers as Amir Qusro.
Sometime he desires to go Shenali which is a health resort. So I
was there for three days. But I could not get a house to rent or
purchase. And as a guest, I was there one day each with three
guests there and I was returning back from there. But there was
an intention in my heart so came on the Rani reservoir of the
garden of Hairat and prayed with Allah that brings to me a good
time so that his intention can fulfill to leave this city and now I
did not point any city and send me in place as per His will and
desire. ” During this time I was hearing the call of Gheyaspur
and I never heard about Gheyaspur before and do not know
where it is situated.? When I heard this call, then I went to my
friend and whose name was Neshapuri Naqib. Then I heard that
he was going to Gheyaspur from there. I said in my heart that it
may be the same Gheyaspur and in those days this place was not
much habituated and it was an unknown place and there was less
population was there. I was settled down there. When Keqabad
came to Kelokheri and he lived there. In those days, many
persons came and settled down there and courtiers, rich persons
and others started to come there and settled in this place. I told
to leave from this place. During this time, my master was dying
in the city. What I will tell tomorrow is the third day of his
death. So I will go and visit and live in the city and have made
the intention in this matter. On that day one young person came
there and who was a very smart person, but he was in bad
condition and he was lean one and God knows he may be from
persons of invisible or who is one.? When he came when he
talked with him.”
The Sheikh told “ He talked some more things which I have
recorded here. In short, he said first one person should not
823
become such a famous person. And if would become famous

then it should not be such that there will be regret before the
prophet of Allah on the day of judgment.” Then he said “ It is
the matter of power and courage that the man should be adopted
loneliness and engaged in the invocation of Allah. It means such
power and courage should be such kind that among living in the
creature to continue the invocation of Allah.” Khaja Sahib said
“When he has finished this discussion I brought with me some
meals, but he did not eat it. Then I have chosen to live there.
When there was intention with me then he has eaten some meals
and he left from there. After that, I have not seen him again.”
The excellence of Surah Iqlas
On Wednesday of the 16th Jamidul Awwal month, in 715
Hijira years, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about verse Iqlas was started. He said with his holy
tongue that “ The prophet of Allah told the verse of Iqlas is one-
third of the Quran. After completion of the reading of Quran this
verse is read for three times and in it there is wisdom that if any
mistake is done, then reciting it for three times, then it will
rectified by reading of it.” Afterward, he said “ After the
completion of the reading of the Quran verse al-Hamd and some
verses from Sura al-Baqer are recited because once the prophet
was asked that who is pious among the men.?” He said “Al-Hal
Al-Martahal” and “Hal” are called that place where someone
persons came and landed from somewhere. And “al-Martahal” is
called such person who left from any place. This sign out
towards that matter the person who has completed the reading of
the Quran and he is like that person who was landed at the
destination. When he starts reading again, then he is like
“Marthal” and for this reason, the Prophet of Allah said “Al-Hal
824
Al-Martahal. ”
The funeral prayer in absence of the dead body
In this connection, the discussion was started that any
person’s funeral prayer in the absence of the dead body and how
it is this.? The Sheikh said “ It is legal. The prophet of Allah has
performed the funeral prayer of King Nejashi of Ethiopia and
he was dying in the administration of the oath and Imam Shafei
has also declared it as legal. If any part of the body of the
deceased is found then on it funeral prayer is permissible. “After
that, he said, “ The story of Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabarazi when
Sheikh Najamuddin Suqra who at that time Shaikh of Islam of
Delhi was enmity with him. Then he was sent by Sheikh
Jalaluddin to India. In short, when Sheikh Jalaluddin was
reached to Badayun. One day he was sitting at the back side of
Bunar river and he was standing and performed fresh ablution.
And he told the audience to come to pray the funeral prayer of
the Sheikh of Islam Delhi. Because at this moment, he was
dying. It has happened like that as per saying of Sheikh
Jalaluddin. After the prayer, he told the audience that “ Sheikh
of Islam of Delhi was expelled us from Delhi so our master was
expelled him from the world.”
The persons of amazement
After that, the discussion of amazement was started who
used to busy in the remembrance of reality in such a way that it
was not known of it to any person or anybody. One person from
the audience told this story “ Once he has reached to such place
where there lived such seven or eight persons who were standing
in amazement and looking at the sky in the condition of gazing.
But at the time, of prayer they used to perform it and again, they
used to stand in the condition of surprise. The Sheikh said “ The
825
prophets of Allah are innocents and the pious are protected and
is like that in reality as such you have described. Even though
they used to live in the condition of surprise in the day and
night, but they never lapse their prayers. In this connection, he
told one story of Khaja Qutubudin Bakhtiar Kaki that he was in
the condition of a surprise for four days and also he was in this
condition at the time of his death. It was happening that Sama
meeting was held in the shrine building of Sheikh Ali Sanjari
and Sheikh Qutubudin Bakhtiar Kaki was present there. The
chorister singing one couplet so, then condition of a surprise was
prevailed upon him and from where he was reached to his place
then he became intoxicated and then he was reached in the
condition of surprise and he said to recite the couplet and repeat
it.”
The company of Mashaiq (venerable persons)
On Monday of the 15th Shawwal month, in the year of 715
discussion of inclination of service of Mashaiq was started. He
said “ In those days when there was a battle in progress and I
was staying in the city for some days. And I used to go to the
mosque for the Friday prayer and there was an obstruction for
me from the creatures. One day I was just left of the mosque and
was going into one street and one person came from the
backside and he asked are you upset in this matter.? I said
“Yes.” After that person told “Amir Qusro who was a disciple of
Sheikh Fariduddin and when the Sheikh was in Delhi then he
used to go the mosque early before Friday prayer so that there
will be less of an obstruction of the creatures, but the people
used to come and kiss his hand till that there will large number
of gathering and there will become a circle. When the Sheikh
826
will proceed further, then again one more circle will be formed
till that he will upset with this matter. Later Amir Qusru told
him “Why he did upset in this matter.? This is the grace of
Allah.” In this situation, he said with his holy tongue “ In those
days when Sultan Nasiruddin Oucha proceeded to Multan and
when he was reached Ajodhan then all armies were proceeding
for the visit so, for this reason, the Sheikh was surprised by
seeing a large number of gatherings. The sleeve of the shirt of
the Sheikh was hanged in the street and many people came there
and kissed it and went away from there. That sleeve was turned
into the pieces. After that, he went into the mosque and he
ordered the disciples to make circles around him so that nobody
should not enter into it. So that conveys Salam from far away
and go away from there. The disciple did as per his order in this
matter. One old cleaner came there and he was passed from the
circle of the disciples and he was falling at the feet of the Sheikh
and for kissing the holy feet, he catches it so the Sheikh was
upset with this. That cleaner told him. “ Oh, Sheikh of venerable
persons Sheikh Fariduddin why did you upset with this matter.?,
and thanked Allah better than this way for this grace. ” When
the cleaner said this when he made a slogan and then he was
given favourable to that cleaner and regret with him in this
matter. ”
Kindness with the creatures
Later the discussion was staring at the soft heartens and
treatment of kindness with the creatures. After that, he said “
The Prophet of Allah said about Abubakar Siddiq (R.A.) Wan
Aba Baker Saif?” And it means being Abu Baker al-Saif. The
Al-Saif is called that thing which is weeping soon. Also, he said
about politeness and humility that Umar bin Aas did lampoon
827
speaking ill of the prophet during the time of ignorance. When

the Prophet heard it, then he was praying to Allah. “ Oh: My
Lord son of Aas did my lampoon speaking of ill and I am not a
poet to do lampoon speaking of ill of him from my side.”
Khaja Sahib said “Allah did lampoon speaking of ill with the
word Jarera by Umar bin Aas. The word is Jarera and its
meaning is as such person who is cunning. It means Umar bin
Aas became famous among the people as a crafty person even
though he was accepted faith in Islam. But due to reason of the
lampoon speaking of ill, he was well known in cunning and will
like that till the day of judgment. So does lampoon speaking of
ill which belongs to cunning than praising is politeness and
humility.”
The different dealings
On Monday of the 27h Zeqad month, in the year of Hijira
715, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. One relative
sent by someone was coming there to forgive. The Sheikh asked
for recommendations of someone and there was delayed in this
matter. When that person was regretted on behalf of his sender
and which did by his tongue. So Khaja Sahib was forgiven him
and he told with holy tongue “ Even though there are situations
of anger. But he will not be anger, but he will forgive him.”
“After that, he said “ When somebody wants to become the
disciple of any master. Then it is called work of arbitration. It
means to say chiefly to his master. So whatever told by a master
and if he will not obey, then it is not called arbitration.” He said
again, “ Even though there is the situation of anger”. But the
compiler of the book said “ Due to favour the master will
forgive the mistake of the disciple. But Allah will not like this
matter. Then how he will forgive him.? ” He said, “ The
828
forgiveness is the matter and it is from the order of Allah. ”

Later he said, “ Whatever the master will say then the disciple
should do as per instruction of the spiritual guide.”
After that, he said “ It came to know that if the spiritual guide
will say something against the Islamic Shariah (law) then what
to do in this matter.? And which should be refused or not.?” He
said, “ The saint should be like that who will be learned person
of the orders of Islamic law, Tariaqat (mysticism) and Haqiqat
(reality) and when he will be like that then he will not ask to do
anything against the Islamic law. And if he will say something
then there will be a different situation in this matter that it means
for some people something will be illegal. So the disciple should
do as per the instruction of the saint.” Because he will also
instruct as per the sayings of somebody. Even though some
persons may be having an opinion against this, but he should
follow the instruction of his master. ”
Later in this connection he told “ Suppose one person will
say something to another person or he will recommend and for
which he will not accept it. So he should have patience in this
matter that there was not time for it. He said, “ He should think
that it was his mistake and perhaps it is same like this.”
Subsequently, he said “ There was one worker in Ajodhan
to whom the ruler was used to give him trouble. That staff was
coming in the service of Sheikh Fariduddin was requested him
his recommendation in this matter. The Sheikh sent the message
of the recommendation of the worker to the ruler of Ajodhan.
But the ruler was insisting on his own stand. Then the Sheikh
told the worker that “ He told him about your matter but the
ruler did not accept it and perhaps the situation was not suitable
to this matter. Or somebody recommended you, but you have
829
not known that.” After that, the local ruler came to see the
Sheikh and regret in this matter and then Sheikh was forgiven
him. Later he said “ About forgiveness and not to think that he
hasn’t done the crime and he told this story “ Sheikh
Fariduddin’s one disciple and his name was Maman and who
used to live in one village. Regarding him, somebody
complained with the Shaikh Sahib that he is wine drinking.
When he came in the service of the Sheikh then he asked him, “
He was heard that he used to drink wine.” He said “No”. This is
false news spread by someone in my favour. ” The Sheikh said.
“ Perhaps it is so as per your saying. They have told false. ” In
short, he was talking with him happy and he was accepted his
excuse.
After that, he told one story about the orders of Mashaiq
(venerable persons) and its acceptance of disciples that one old
woman came in the service of Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair
and many times she cleaned the shrine building and she did it
many times then Sheikh Sahib asked her “ What is meaning of
this service.? And to tell him so that he can fulfill it. ” She said “
There is meant it, but she will inform him about it at the proper
time later. ” In short the old man continued her service there.
One day one smart young man came into the service of the
Sheikh. Then that woman came into the service of the Sheikh
and she told “ Now the time of her request came. ” He told her
to explain it. She said “ To order this young man to marry with
her. ” The Sheikh began thinking. And he said in his mind that
she is an ugly and an old woman. And that man is young and
smart. He went into the loneliness and for three days he did not
eat anything. Later he was called to an old woman and the
young man and he addressed the young man to marry that old
Woman. That young inevitably accepted this Offer. Afterward,
830
that old woman requested Sheikh Sahib to arrange bridal

manifestation to her like other women. Sheikh Sahib told her “
He will do like that” and he was followed traditions of the
banquet and meals were cooked in the double quantity. Then
that old woman requested in the service of the Sheikh Sahib and
told him that the young man should lift from her by his hands
from the floor and put her on the throne. As per order of the
Sheikh did the same thing. After that old woman went into the
service of Sheikh Sahib and she requested to ask him that he
should not put her down on earth. It means he should be faithful
in this matter and not show his backside to her. In short Sheikh
Sahib ordered the young man and he accepted it. He said this
story which is about the disciple and so who should obey the
order of the master.”
Later Sheikh Sahib said “ He was living in the service of
Sheikh Fariduddin for a period of ten or 12 years. And he used
recite Naat (encomium) for him. One person Abu Baker
chorister who is known as Abu Baker chorister came into the
service of my master from Multan. He said he was used to sing
Sama to the Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria. He said “ Once he was
singing two couplets and two other couplets were not
remembered by him at that time. So Sheikh Sahib told other
couplet to him.”
Later he started saying excellence of Sheikh Bahuddin
Zakaria and he said “ There was a system of invocation of Allah
like this and worship like in this way and recitals in that way and
even slave girls and water carrying girls are there and who used
to do an invocation of Allah etc., and he told many matters. But
there was not any effect of these things on my mind.”
Afterward, he said he came there from Ajodhan. There was
831
one pious person who is having such and such attributes with
him. In short, I was hearing the excellence of Sheikh Fariduddin
and then there was, the love of, devotion and truth was
established in my mind. So after every prayer, I used, to say ten
times Sheikh Fariduddin and for these recitals the love was
increased and the friends were able to know in this matter. If
they ask something or if they want to swear, then they say to
swear in the name of Shaikh Fariduddin.”
In my mind, in short, after that I have decided to go to Delhi
and one old man named Awadh was accompanied with me.
During the journey period, there was fear of tigers or robbers
were there, then he will use to say “ Ya Peer (master) is present.,
Oh: our master we are in your custody. ” I asked him with
master who is that person.? He said “ Shaik Fariduddin. Khaja
Sahib said “ Hearing from him there was increased of fervor and
zeal.” During the journey one more person was accompanied
with us and who is called Moulana Hussain Hansmukh and who
is pious person. When we have reached Delhi and we have
landed by chance nearly at the house of Sheikh Najibuddin
Mutawakil. From this story, it is aimed that as Allah want to
give him a wealth of the religion and, for this reason, such
motives were provided.”
After that, discussion about Sheikh Fariduddin was started
that he has a higher degree of interest of the Sama. So once
when he wants to listen to Sama, but at that time, there was no
chorister was available there. He said Bedridden Ishque to bring
it and read the letter written by Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori. He
has collected all letters and was put in one bag. When Bedridden
put his hand in the bag and he finds that letter and which he
brought into the service of the Sheikh. He was told to stand and
832
read the letter. Bedridden started reading the letter and in which
it was drawn up as follows.
“ Lowest and beggar, lean and older Mohammed the slave
and favoured person of Dervish group, and kissing with the eyes
and head on the feet of the Sheikh and when Sheikh Sahib heard
up to this then there was a condition of fervor which was
prevailed upon him then he was reciting one Rubai (quatrain)
from this letter.” While keeping in his mind this letter he
said one time Sheikh Bedridden Ghaznavi was sent his letter to
him in which there was some poetry in it and Khaja Sahib
recited two or four couplets from that letter and compiler of the
book was remembered two couplets from them.
The discussion about how the meeting of Sheikh
Qutubuddin Aushi with Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi took place
among themselves.? He said “ Once Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi
was arrived at the house of Sheikh Qutubuddin as a guest there
and he was desired that Sheikh Qutubuddin welcome him. He
left from his house. The Sheikh’s house was near Kelo Khekri
and he left there and stayed in the small tight lanes and from
where he was not arrived on the public road. Sheikh Jalaluddin
Tabrizi also not followed the public road and he also went
through the small and tight lines. In this way, both pious persons
were met together.” Also, he said, “Once inside the mosque of
Malik Azizuddin Bakhtiar, which is in the opposite of its
bathroom where these two pious people met there together.”
On the Sunday on the 15h of the Zil Hajj month in the year
of Hijira 715, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh
during the days of Tashriq (The days of Tashreeq are the 11 th,
12th and 13th of Dhu’l-Hijjah). He was requested about the
condition of the prayer. On that Eid (sacrificial festival) day,
833
there was heavy rainfall and also there was falling down of
small ice particles and many persons could not attend the prayer
there. So I also could not attend the prayer.
In short the Sheikh was informed that he was not
performing the prayer. He said “ Many persons could not attend
the prayer there. ” Later he said “ He was performing one rakat
only and at the time of second rakat rain has started falling
heavily. And then the prayer was finished and Qatib (public
speaker) and he was left there and all other people left from
there. The compiler of the book asked “ If the prayer of Eid was
not performed on that day so it to be performed on the next
day.? Is the prayer of Eid on the next day, is legal.? ” He said “
If the Eid prayer lapses then it should not be performed on the
next day. But it is legal that Eid prayer to be performed on the
next day or on the third day.”
Later he said with his holy tongue “ On that Eid day there
was an idea came into his mind that unless there will be the
presence of too many friends and so the prayer will not be
performed and it should be performed the next day. But all have
reached there and the public speaker has performed the prayer of
Eid.”
Afterward, he said “ The prayer of Istaqara (augury) which
is performed on a daily basis and which is performed for the
well-being of the day and well-being on Friday. Also, it is done
for the well-being of Saturday and Eid. And also for the well-
being arising out of the whole year. I asked him “On the day of
Eid al-Azhah (sacrificial festival) and Eid al-Fitr (Ramadan
festival).? He is said to be performed on these two days.”
The writing on the tablet for the child
On Saturday of the 16h of the Muharram month, in the year
834
of Hijira 715, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.

On that day, I was brought one small boy of my relatives. In
short, it was aiming to send him for the reading of the Quran and
before sending I brought him to his service. So that due to his
blessing at the reading of the Quran will be about his fate. He
was praying and he took the tablet from his hand and he wrote
the following alphabets as follows.
“ Bismilla Errahman Ninrahim Raab Yasar Wala Tasser,Alif,
Ba, Ta, Sa, Ja.”
And he asked about boy to read with his tongue the above
alphabets. After that, he said there is saying of the Prophet that
“There will be such people who will be forced and snatched and
sent to the paradise.” Later he said relating this saying there are
three sayings are famous. That these will be children, which will
be sent to the teachers force-able there and who will come to
know the meaning of the alphabets gradually. The other saying
is that “ This will be slaves who will be brought from the Darul
Herb (non-Muslim country) to the Islamic country in the
chains.” At that time being, in tears, the Sheikh said “ The third
group will be those people who are lovers of reality.” On the day
of judgment, there will be commanded to send them to the
paradise. However, they will say there that they had not
worshipped Allah for the sake of paradise or hell of fire and they
have worshipped Allah only for the sake of his only love. There
will be commanded that “ It is the true thing. But the promise of
sight and meeting will be fulfilled in the paradise. “Go there.”
Then they will not do that. After that, there will be a command
of angels to be chained them in of light and to take in the
paradise.
835
The demand of the world

On Saturday of the 16th of the Muharram, in the year of
Hijira 715, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about the contentment was started. In this connection
of no demand of the world, he said “ Moulana Hafizuddin who
he was writing books of Kafi and Shafe. In those books it was
written that the dogs were taught how to hunt. When if he will
catch three times prey and will bring the owner, then he will be
called as mualim (master). Really, he will become mastering the
hunting. The Cheetah is also trained, but when there will be
come near the prey. Then he will be sent free by the hunter and
he will make the jump and he will fall on it. And if he will not
get them, he will not run behind it. Against this, the dog will run
behind the prey knock about aimlessly. In short, that this pious
person wrote on this matter that men should learn some habits of
the a Cheetah, that the men should not run behind the
sustenance like the dog. If he will get something, then take
possession of it. The other thing that when the Cheetah will
attack on the prey and if he gets it, then it is good for him, but if
he will not get it he will not run behind It. In this way the people
should demand the world, then ask for it a little and did not
worry about this matter. The third thing is that if the Cheetah
will do laziness in the hunting then the dog will be brought
before him and he will be beaten before him so that he will be
afraid of it. So the people should do like that they should take
lessons from others.”
He helped one knife seller
On Saturday of the 20h of the Rabil Awwal month in the
year of the Hijira 756, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. They caught one person who was holding one knife in
836
his hand and who was he it is not yet known. When the servants
brought him into the service of the Sheikh while catching him
and explained his condition. So Khaja Saheb doesn’t give
permission to make any trouble to him. He called him near and
told him “ To make promises in this matter that he will not cause
trouble to anybody.” He was promised so the Sheikh released
him and he paid him the expenses of the journey. On that day
when I was present at the service of the Sheikh then discussion
on this matter was started. He said “One day Sheikh Fariduddin
after morning prayer when he was busy in the invocation of
Allah while putting his head on the earth. Usually, he was
utilized to busy in the invocation of Allah. On that day due to
cold weather he was covering the coat and at that time there was
no servant was not there except me and suddenly one person
came there he said salam in a loud voice and due to this reason
Sheikh Sahib stopped his engagement in the invocation of Allah.
The Sheikh was keeping his head on the earth while covering
the coat and he said “ The man came there is in medium height
person and in yellow color, complexion Turk ” and when I have
seen him really, he is such face and shape. I told him, your
honour, he is in such face. After that, he said, “ He is having a
chain around his waist.” I told him “ Yes.” Afterward, he said “
He was wearing something in his ear. ” I told him that “He is
wearing large earrings in his ears. ” Due to our conversation of
question and answers, there was a change of colour of the Turk.
The Sheikh told him “ To go otherwise he will become more
disgrace.” Upon hearing this, he vanished away from there. At
this meeting, he told this story also that “One person Maulana
Husamuddin used to live in Ghazni and who was among the
sons of Shams al-Arifin and who was a disciple of Ajal Shirazi.
He and his friends were standing there, then the Sahib, first
837
looked at them and after that he was looking at the sky.

Afterward, he looked again at them and he told with his holy
tongue that “ At this time the robe of honour, of the martyr has
made for one among of you. When both of them left from Khaja
Sahib and they said to see who will get this wealth. Moulana
Husamuddin was Zakir (one who remembers). On the same day
when he came down from the pulpit after sermon work, many
persons gathered around him and they began kissing his hands.
One person among them took his knife and he martyred him and
when he was brought back to the house there was no life in him
and he was sent with the message from somebody that he was
getting that quilt of honour.”
The excellence of memorization of Quran
On the Sunday of the 27th of the Rabil Awwal month in the
The discussion about the blessing of the Quran and
memorization of Quran was started. He said “In Badayun there
was one person who can recite the Quran in the seven methods
of reciting of the Quran. He was pious and a person of miracle
and who was a slave of Hindu person who is called Shadi
Muqri. His one miracle was that one who will read one page of
Quran from him, then Allah will grant him the Quran in his fate.
I also read one part of the Quran and due to his blessing I was
memorizing the whole Quran. In short, there was a master of
Shadi Muqri and who was living in Suhadar and who is called
Khajgai Muqri and he was also a pious person. In short, once
one person came from Suhadar and Shadi Muqri asked him
whether his master is well and happy there? His master was
dead. But that person did not inform him of his matter. He said “
He is well. Then he started explaining the details of Suhadar that
838
there was heavy rainfall and due to this rainfall many houses
were destroyed. And there was occurred fire accident there in
which many houses were burnt down and became ashes.” When
that person told all these details, then Shadi Muqri told him that
“ Perhaps my master is no more. ” He said “ Yes, he was dead
before this event.”
The visit of Makkah
On the Sunday of the 20h of the Rabil Awwal month in the
year of the Hijira 715, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. The discussion about the belief of the lazy group
persons was started and also to those persons who go to Makkah
to visit Ka’aba and when they used to return back from there
then they will engage in the affairs of the world. I told him “ I
was surprised at those persons who are your disciples and go
somewhere. ” When I said this then at that time my friend Malih
came into service with the Sheikh. I told him that “ This slave
was heard once by this Malih one matter which caused very
much effect on his heart. That matter is like that person should
go to Hajj pilgrimage who does not have a master. Khaja sahib
shut, tears and he said one couplet.”
After that, he said “ Subsequently, when Sheikh Fariuddin
died, then there was great fervor into me to go for the Hajj
pilgrimage. I said “ First to go to Ajodhan and visit my master,
and when I did visit then I got my aim and also I got some more.
The second time when there was the desire of Hajj pilgrimage,
then I have visited the Sheikh and got my aim.”
Discussion about an event of the Prophet of Allah
On the Sunday of the 11h of the Jamad Awwal month, in the
The discussion about the belief Prophet of Allah was started and
839
he said “One night the Prophet of Allah was seen in the dream
that there is excavated a new well and there bucket is also there
and there was water in it. But its structure was not constructed, it
means it was not constructed of bricks and it was just like a pit
and which is called Qalbat. The structure of the well, which is
constructed is called Tawa. In short, he was drawn some water
from the well with a bucket and he was taken from his hands.
After that Abu Baker (R.A.) came there and he was drawn three
buckets of water from the well and then he was tired. Later
Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) came there and he was drawn 12
buckets of water from the well and that bucket was becoming
larger and due to this reason a large area of the land was
cultivated.”
Khaja Sahib said “ The aim of this story is that the meaning
of well here is the water. Then there while taking the trouble to
construct a building on the well or not, but the real aim is water.
Because in every work there will be the defect is back in it.”
During this time, one person from the audience was
conveyed salam of disciple Mohammed Kalpuri. Khaja Sahib
“Yes, I know him and he is a dearer person of Allah. Once he
asked me “ Whether to live in Mujdrid (bachelor) or to do
marriage.” I told him “ To live a bachelor is better but there is a
permission of marriage. If any person who will engage in the
invocation of Allah, such that he does not have news about the
matter or does not know what is this matter.? Then he all parts
of body eyes, tongue will be safe indeed without a doubt. Then
such person should live a bachelor. But when there is an idea in
mind of any person to marry then he should marry. In this
matter, the real thing is intentional. When the intention will be
engaged towards reality, then there will effect on all parts of the
840
human body. And its innermost will be become the different

type then there will affect on the parts.”
The date of death of Sultan Shamsuddin
Afterwards, he said about the age of Mohammed Kawlapuri
that “ His age is such and such. From here he remembered the
date of the death of Sultan Shamsuddin and he was reciting one
couplet. Later the discussion was started about when the master
will say goodbye to the disciple, then he will not come again
into his service. But they can come into service after an
important affair or travelling. In this connection, he said this
story that “When Sheikh Fariduddin said goodbye to Ali Makki
but the second day by chance he visited the nearby area of
Ajodhan and the same day he was coming into the service of the
Sheikh Sahib.” Sheikh Sahib told him “Yesterday you were left
from here after my permission and you came today. He said
friends camped today here so he was come into his service. The
Sheikh told him welcome. In the night time, he was joined in the
camp. On the third day of the camp was also there. Then he
came in the service of the Sheikh then he ordered one person to
bring and give him two breads. When he said bid him goodbye
when he did not come back again. ”
Then about Ali Makki he said “ He is pious and a man of
blessing. Many times he used to make supplication with Allah “
Oh: Allah gives his death at some other place and not in his city.
” It means on the way of the journey where nobody should know
who he is.? After that Khaja Saheb said “He was proceeded
towards Badayun and he was becoming ill during the journey
period and when he was left out of village Najlana then his
illness was increased such that he was dying in its limit and he
could not reach to Badayun. ”
841
The Qazi (judge) of Karman city

After that in this connection, he told “ One story that which
he was heard by him. He used to say that once he was arrived in
the Karman city in Iran as a travelling person. In Karman city,
there was one judge and one day who called city’s great wealthy
persons, and learned persons and was arranging one meeting.
One weak and lean, pale Darwish was also present at that
meeting. Even though he was not called, there, but when he was
heard that there was a party with the judge so he came and sits in
the corner. When Sama (ecstasy) meeting was started, then there
was movement in that Darwish and he wants to stand and want
to dance, but the judge was angered with him in this matter and
he wanted that first the president of the function or any other
pious person should dance and how this Darwish was standing. ?
He called “ Oh: Darwish sits down and Darwish became angered
and he sat there. After some time when Sama meeting started
when the judge stood so Darwish told “ Oh judge sits down. ”
He told this in such style that even the audience could not say
anything in this matter. The judge sat at his place. In short, when
the meeting was over then all persons left there and that Darwish
was there, but the judge was sitting in his place. The few times
he wants to stand, but he could not stand. So he was in such
condition for seven years. After that Darwish came there after
seven years and he knows well that what happened. He was seen
that the judge has become lean and he went near him and told
him the judge to stand. But he was not standing. He told the
second time, but the judge was sitting in the place. The third
time he said he to sit in this way and die in this way. After
saying this, he left from there. Then the judge asked his servant
to bring Darwesh there, but he was not found anywhere. The
judge was dead in that condition.”
842
On the Sunday on the 28h of the Jamdil Awwal month in the

year of Hijira 715, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. He asked “ Where did I perform the Friday prayer.? ” I
told “ In the central mosque of Kelo Kheri. But I will not
obstruct of your honour there because on that day there will very
much rush of the people. He said “ He was already told that
those who are special friends are visiting me in the house and
there is no need for them to meet him in the heavy rush of the
people there. ”
In this connection the discussion about the situations where
not to meeting and he told one story that “ Moulana
Burhanuddin Nasfi was a perfect Alim (learned person) and
when any person used to come in his service to study so he will
tell him to agree first his three conditions then he will teach him.
1.To eat one-time meal, whichever he liked by him one time
only so that there will be a place of knowledge.
2. Not to be abstaining from the tuition and if there will be one
day of absence, then he will not teach him the next day.
3.When you will see me on the way, then conveys salam and
pass away from there and do not kiss his feet and do not give
excess respect to him.”
When he was finished this story, then he said “ When the
creatures will come to see him and prostrate before him as
Sheikh Fariduddin did not prohibit in this matter so I did not
prohibit.” During this time, I told him, “ When this slave
performs prostration of respect so doing such thing there will be
done excess by me in this matter and there will be mortified. But
Allah has given you greatness and that it is not depending on the
service of some of the disciples. ”
843
After that Khaja Sahib told this story that “ In the olden days
one pious person visited Syria and Rome and he came back from
there and he sat. At that time, Wahiduddin Qureshi did
prostration to me as per his normal practice. That pious person
told him “ What he is doing before them and prostration are
never legal”. And in this matter he was started argument with
me and I want to reply him but when he was exceeded in this
matter then I told him, “ Only listen do not show very much
passion and when any act is obligation and afterward its
obligation will be no longer remain and it will be become
desirable (Mustahab) like fasting of the days 13 th, 14th and 15th
days (Baiz days) of a lunar month and day of the 10 th Muherram
(Ashura) which were obligated on the previous nations but its
obligation was no more during the period of the last Prophet of
Allah and it was becoming only desirable. Now of prostration
which was desirable to the previous nations like for the kings of
the people or the student to the master or nations to the previous
prophets which were desirable of prostration. But now this
matter was no longer existing during the period of the last
prophet of Allah and it was left as permissible (Mubah) and not
desirable. So for Mubah (permissible), there is no mention of
negative and prohibition of it. So give two examples of it. What
is the work of only refusal.?When I told him in such details
when he could not reply.” When Khaja Sahib finished this story
and he said “ He was regret in this matter for saying this.
Because why he was said to him like that from which he was
ashamed. So I should not talk like that from which he was
become humiliated. The other thing is that as he was a traveler
so I should have to give him some money and clothes to him and
such things, I was ashamed in this matter.” In this connection of
treatment he told one story that “Once one old man came in the
844
service of Sheikh Fariduddin and he said once he was in the

service of Sheikh Qutubuddin Bakthiar and he has seen him
more there. Sheikh Sahib did not recognize him. When he told
all signs when he was recognized him. In short, that old person
was brought one young boy with him and during this time the
discussion was started. The boy was starting a discussion
unmannerly. So there was talking in loud noise. Sheikh Sahib
also talks in a loud voice.” Khaja Sahib says “ He and Moulana
Shahabuddin, who was the son of Sheikh Sahib who were sitting
on the outside of the door and when there was overpowering
then we have entered into the meeting place. That boy was
talking in such an unmannerly way there that so Moulana
Shabuddin came to enter the meeting place and slapped that boy
then that boy want to do an act of un-mannerly so I caught his
hand. During this time Sheikh Sahib told to bring a
rapprochement between themselves. Moulana Shabuddin
brought some money from inside of the house and was given
money to that boy and his father and they have taken money and
for this reason they left from there in happy condition. It was a
habit of Sheikh Sahib that in every night after breakfast, he used
to call me and Moulana Rukunddin and sometime Moulana
Shabuddin used to present more there. Then he was asked about
the happening of the previous day. On that day as per his
practice, he was calling me and Moulana Rukunuddin. He was
asked about the details of that day when the old man came there
and his son’s argument and about following the manners of
Moulana Shabuddin, Shahik Fariduddin laughed and Khaja
Sahib said I hold the hand of the boy when he wants to act
unmannerly to Moulana Shabuddin. Sheikh Sahib laughed and
he said good person did a good deed. ”
845
The cure of boils and eruptions

On Sunday on the 24h of the Rajab, in the year of Hijira 715,
I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. In the past days,
there was a pain in the finger of the feet. So for this reason I
could not present in the service of the Sheikh Sahib. On that day,
when I was arriving, then first explained about my illness and
told him all details in this matter. He asked “ Whether it was
running sore?. Or any other illness? ” I told him “ It was not
running sore. Suddenly there was swelling in the finger of the
feet and there is severe pain in It.” He is asked “Whether he was
suffering from the illness of running Sore.” I told him “Your
honour, I suffered from it. But, since five years there has been
no complaint of running sore eruption disease. When it was a
complaint before I was present at your service and you have told
that for recovery of boils and eruptions there is instruction to
recite verse “Burj” so there was the blessing of this verse. And
after that there was never a complaint of boils and eruptions.
Afterward I was heard with your holy tongue that to recite four
verses in Sunnah prayer of Aser Salat (prayer) which are as
follows.”
1.Sura “Eza Zulzelat” and three other verses which are by the
side of this verse so along with it which this slave is recited.
When I have told him that “ In the first rakat of Aser prayer this
slave is recited Sura “Burj” and after that Sura “Eza Zulzelat.”
He said “It is Good. ” He also said there is also traditional in the
Sunnah (prayer ordained by the prophet) prayer of Aser prayer
to recite ten times Sura “Asar” which is described as follows.
In first rakat four times
In the second rakat three times
In the third rakat two times
846
In the fourth rakat one time.

After that, he said “ Whether I used to perform prayer with
the congregation.? ” I told him “Yes, I perform with
congregational prayer. I got one sincere leader and who is your
disciple and pious person.” He asked “ Whether he gets his
whole head shaved (Mahluq)?.” I told him “No.” He told
“Mahlooq is better because of the bath of post coition (Janabat)
if he has hair so it is difficult for him to care in this matter.
Because if any hair will be left dry then there will remain
polluted from resulting from coition. But Mahluq indeed can
have bathing himself without any doubt. ”
The benefits of shaving of the head
After discussion about the benefits of shaving of the head
was started and he said “ The people say these things should be
done by themselves. And it should not be learning to others. It
means its benefits will be available only to that person. First, he
should shave his head by himself, but he should not say about
for his head shaving to others. The other thing, to drink stew
after a break of fasting. The third, sole of the foot should make
be greasy.” Later he said “These are such things which people
say that these should not be done. But the people should do like
that so that they should get the benefit from it and do benefit to
others.” In this connection, he said this story that “ One Bedouin
(Arabi) he used to pray as follows.
“ Oh: My Sustainer is kind to me and of Mohammed (peace
be upon him) but with us but does not favour to others. ” When
this news was heard by the last Prophet of Allah then he told a
Bedouin that “ Qadat Hijrat Wasan. ” After Khaja Sahib was
explained about like that if any person constructed his house in
the jungle than it is called “Tuhjare”. It means he should keep
847
some stones as the limit of his house is such that it shows its
boundary. So the Prophet of Allah explained by example that the
grace of Allah is generally so why do pray like that “ Oh: My
Sustainer to give me and Mohammed (peace be upon him) and
along with us does not give it others. ” So he is doing at work
for “Tuhjar” and teasing in this matter. And he said the
following words with his holy tongue.
“ Qadat Hijrat Wasan. ”
Prohibition to sit in the sunlight
On Monday of the 29th Rajab month in the 716 Hijira year,
I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. At that
time, he was staying in the shade from the sunlight. He said with
a holy tongue that “The Prophet of Allah told Ayesha Siddiqua
(R.A.) not to sit in the sunlight because of it the freshness of the
face will be damaged.”
After that, the discussion of Shams Dabir was started. He
asked me “ Have you seen him.? ” I told him he was my relative.
He said “ He has studied the biography of Qazi Hameeduddin
Nagori by Shaikh Fariduddin and he was a very pious person.
Then he told Sheikh Fariduddin when he uses to break the fast,
then he used to engage in the invocation of Allah till the time of
night prayer (Eisha) will be started. From evening time till Eisha
prayer Shams Dabir used to prepare the meals and will call two
or three friends and arrange breaking of the fast. I also will use
to be present at that time there.” After that, he said that “ In the
beginning he was poor and when he became wealthy then such
condition was not there with him. Then he said the worldly
prosperity is also like one kind of water.”
Tarawih prayer (special night prayers in Ramazan)
848
Next the discussion about Tarawih prayer was started and

he was asked “ Where I was used to perform prayers in the
mosque or in the house?”. I replied that “ In the house and I got
one pious leader (Imam) in the mosque.”Then he was told that “
In central mosque before one Quran was used to be recited in
Tarawih prayer. ” I told “ Moulana Sharafuddin used to recite
one part of Quran in every night in Tarawih Prayer. ” Khaja
Sahib said that “One night he was performing prayer behind
him and even though there was rainfall on that night and lanes
were full of mud. But even he went there and performed a
prayer. He really used to pronounce words with quality and
explain properly.”
After that, he told this story that “ Resident of Syrian country
one learned person Moulana Doulat Yar recited very fine
recitation of the Quran. So such recitation he could not hear
again from anybody.” Then he said “ He was studied six parts of
Quran by Sheikh Fariduddin and three books also and one was
heard and two were studied by him. On the day when I
requested his service that I want to study Quran by him. On that
day, he said to study.” After that after Friday congregational
prayer or some other day and in the leisure time, I was used to
study. In short, I was studying six parts of Quran with him.
When I started studying Quran then he told me to recite
‘Alhamadu Lillah' and when I was reached on ‘Walazzalin' then
he said ‘Wala Zaleen' to make pronunciation like Khaja Sahib.
Khaja Sahib said “ ‘Subhan Allah’ what is eloquence and
rhetoric is there in his recitation. When Sheikh Sahib used to
pronounce ‘Walazzalin’ and which is not able to pronounce like
that. Then he said that “ Zaad” was sent down to the last Prophet
of Allah and which is not for others. ” After that, he said “ The
Prophet of Allah is called as “Al-Zaad. ”, Then he said again the
849
meaning of “ Rasul Al-Zaad” is that “Al-Zaad” was sent down

to the Prophet of Allah.
Tarawih prayer (Special night prayers in the month of
Ramazan)
On the Sunday of the tenth day of Ramazan month in the
year of 715 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. Discussion about Tarawih prayer started and he said: “
Tarawih prayer is Sunnah and in Tarawih prayer to complete the
recitation of Quran is Sunnah (the practice of the prophet).”
Completion of the Quran in Tarawih prayer
After that, he told with his holy tongue that “Tarawih is
Sunnah and the congregation, it's also Sunnah and also the
completion of recitation one Quran is Sunnah. ” “I told that the
Prophet of Allah was performed Tarawih prayer three days only
as per one tradition and from another tradition he was performed
only one day. But Umar bin Qatab (R.A.) followed this Sunnah
for always. From Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) during his caliphate
one person asked him whether the practice (Sunnah) of
companions is Sunnah of the prophet?” He said “ It is there in
our religion.But according to Imam Shafei's religion, that is
Sunnah which is performed by the prophet.”
The story of Imam Abu Hanifa
After that, he said about that Imam Abu Hanifa of Kufa that
“ He used to complete the recitation of 61 Quran during the
month of the month of Ramazan. One in Tarawih prayer and one
in 30 days and one in 30 nights.” “ Later he told “ He has
performed the morning prayer for the ablution of night (Eisha)
prayer.
Afterward, he said with holy tongue that “ There was passed
850
away large number of learned persons and nobody knows where

they have gone and who were they,? And this city is retained
due to reasons of their good dealings. And this is a meaningful
of the life and which is not obtainable easily. There was long
period passed away after the demise of Sheikh Shibli and Sheikh
Junaid. And people know in this matter that just they have
passed away from the world still the people know that they have
passed from the world yesterday. ”
Discussion About Khaja Sahib
On the Friday of the 15th Ramadan month, in the 715 Hijira
year, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. The
Sheikh asked me “ Whether phrases which you heard from me
are you go on writing down to them.? ” I told that “ Your
honour, I write down whatever heard with your holy tongue. ”
He told that “ He is surprised about my memory. ” I told him
that “ He can remember everything. If not, remember anything
then I will leave a space there. Then re-write it again as your
honour said in the last meeting that the Prophet of Allah said
that “ Oh: Ayesha do not sit in the sunlight and from this there
will be damage to the freshness of the face. ” I have an idea in
my mind that I will ask about this saying of the Prophet of Allah
how it is that.? ” He told his holy tongue that “ He was not seen
this saying of the prophet in any book, but I was heard by
teacher Moulana Alauddin in Badayun and who was a pious and
perfect man. ” From here he started excellence of Moulana
Alauddin, he told that “ He was a pious person but he was not
pledged to anybody and if he would have become a disciple of
anybody then he will become completely Sheikh of the
position.”
Later he said “ When he was a child and he was wandering
851
in one lane of Badayun and Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi was

sitting on the silt of the door when he looked at him, then he
called him inside and the dress which he was wearing and he put
on the same dress to him. Khaja Sahib said “ The good manners
and attributes of praiseworthy which were found in him due to
the blessing of that dress. ”
After that, he told one story that “Moulana Alauddin had one
slave old lady her name was Nawara and who was a resident of
Mawasi and this village is near to Badayun and which is known
as Khanbar. One day she was weeping and he asked the reason
of it. She said “ She had one son and from him she was
separated. ”Moulana told her “ I will take you up to a reservoir
which is one and a quarter to three miles from the city and from
there the way goes to Khanbar where I will leave you there and
from where you can go to your village. ” She said, “Yes, the
way onwards from there she knows and she will go from there.”
Moulana took her at the early morning time and he left her at a
the place of a reservoir. When Khaja Sahib ended his discussion
here than he, shut, tears and he said that “ Learned persons of
the manifest are refusing this matter, but they can know that
what he was doing.”
Later about Moulana Alauddin’s knowledge, wisdom and his
following of justification in argument , he said if there will be
any difficulty of dictionary or difficulty of hard problem which
will not be solved by fully by him, then he will use to say, “
Brother, I do not have satisfaction and it should be solved from
another place and get argument there.” Khaja Sahib said “ See
what is a higher level of justice. ” Also, he said “ Once Moulana
Alauddin was studying one book and he had one manuscript
with him and I had one manuscript of that book with me. Some
852
time when he will read it, then I will use to hear it. Some time
when I will read it, then he will use to hear from it. That book’s
name is, Hadaya. Upon reading, he came across one line of
poetry which was not suitable and it was meaningless to the
book. He was thinking very much in this Matter. But he could
not solve this problem. By this time Moulana Malik Yar came
there. Moulana Alauddin told that he will ask for the correction
of the line of poetry. Moulana Mailk Yar was reading that line
of poetry read with suitability and with meaning and from which
his mind was satisfied. After that Moulana Alauddin told me
that “ Moulana Malik Yaar read the meaning of this line of
poetry due to his favour.” Khaja Sahib said “ On that day he was
able to know the meaning of fervor. Before it, he thought about
the meaning of fervor as intoxication. With that, the day I was
able to know the meaning of fervor and what thing is this.?”
Afterward, he said “ Moulana Malik Yar was not educated,
very much, but Allah was granted him special knowledge. ”
After that, he said, “ When Moulana Malik Yar was become
Imam (leader) of the mosque in Badayun. Then some persons
asked whether Moulana Malik Yaar is suitable for this work or
not.? ” When this news reached to Moulana Alauddin, then he
said that “If he will get the leadership of the mosque in
Baghdad, then it will be less of him because his prophecy is
more than that.”
The charity
On Wednesday of the 26th Ramazan month, in the year
Hijira year 715, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh
Sahib. The discussion about charity was started and “He said
there are three things.
1.Charity (Sadqa)
853
2.Kindness (Marwat)
3.Wajda
The charity is that which is given anything to the poor.
Kindness (Murawat) is the matter of this thing is that when a
friend to be given clothes or any gift and that person should also
give something in place of it. Wajda is spent to be safe from the
people’s taunting remarks. It means if any person does not give
anything then he will be treated with meanness so to the safe
side of him something is given to other. The Prophet of Allah as
did these three things.”
After that, he said that “The Prophet of Allah in the
beginning of winning over used to give something. When Islam
became powerful, then he stopped it.” In those days, there was
rumored about the departure of the army. The compiler of this
book asked “ Whether to take Quran while travelling with the
army, because there is difficult to safeguard it.” He told that “It
should be taken.”
Then he said “ In the beginning of Islam the Prophet of
Allah does not use to carry with him the holy Quran with the
journey with the army and so that it may happen that there will
be defeat and the holy book will be gone in the hands of infidel
persons. When there was a power which got by Islam then and
Islamic army increased when he began carrying with him the
holy Quran with the army.” I told him, “ It is difficult to put the
Quran in the tent ” then he said, “ To keep it on the head side.”
Then he said this story that “ When Sultan Mahmud was seen
in the dream upon his death and he was asked how Allah treated
with him.?. ” And he told “ One night he was in such house in
which there was Quran in the window and there was an idea
came into my mind that how he can sleep where there is Quran.
854
Then there was another idea came into my mind to send it to

another place. Then again, there was came from an idea that for
my comfort why should Quran to be sent outside of the room.?
In short, he was passed away that night while sitting in the room.
When the time of his death came when Allah has forgiven him
for the sake of respect of the holy Quran.”
To bury a dead body at the place of death
After that, I told, “ When the people will go on the
invasions then there will come idea into my mind that if I should
die there, then advise the servants to bury me there because to
bring the dead body to the city from long distance place will not
look better.” He told “ It is better to bury the dead body to the
place where he died. Those who keep dead bodies in custody
and they bring it from there later and which is not right. The
ownership of the earth belongs to Allah. So how it will become
custody.? Yes, if somebody will die in another country than to
bring the dead body from that country is legal. And those who
die from the city in cantonment and to bring from there is legal.
But those who will die in cantonment from the city and there is
long distance so, then it is better that to bury him in the place
where he died.”
Then he said “ One who went on the journey and who is far
from his relatives and friends and if he will die there away from
his home then he should be buried there, because there is a long
distance from such place to his house so such extent of land he
will be given in the paradise.”
Next discussion about good devoted kings and pious rich
persons was started and he said “One day one person of
revelation and pious prince was sitting in his view place along
with his wife. From there, he can see the downside. During that
855
time the prince was looking at the sky and he looked at his wife.
Then he looked at the sky for a long time. Then he looked at his
wife and he was beginning weeping. So his wife asked him “
What is reason in this matter that he was looked first at the sky
and he was looking at the downward and then at her side. He
looked at the sky and he looked at her side and he wept. ” The
prince asked her “ To ignore this question because it is not
suitable to explain.” , When his wife asked many times, then the
prince said “As you have requested a number of times in this
matter so he is saying so she should hear that on that night he
was looking at the tablet. I was watching that his name is being
removed from the living persons. So I was able to know that I
was going to travel from this world. Then I was seeing who is a
person in my place there with whom you will marry. ” When his
wife asked him to do now what do you want.? And what you
will do.? ” He told her “ What he can do and whatever the order
given by Allah will be happen. He is agreed in this matter. ”
Then he called gypsy from the downside and given him his robe
and declared him as his successor. After that he was given his
arms in his custody and asked him to go to some place to attack
the enemy there and he sent behind his royal persons and
princes. The gypsy went there as per his order and he killed the
enemy and he looted his arms and brought him a large quantity
of booty and was presented before him. When the gypsy was
coming in the service of the prince and the next day prince was
dying. When the gypsy was gone to attack the enemy when he
was treated such that all of the people were becoming an
admirer of him. When the prince was dead, then gypsy was
becoming king of the place and he was married the wife of the
prince.”
856
Discussion about wise persons

After that discussion about wise persons were started. He
said “One day philosopher (Hakim) Qarib came in the meeting
place of the caliphate. At that time, he was wearing a short and
ordinary dress. He was a Turk person. At that time, the caliph
was hearing Sama (ecstasy). And he took the harp (chunk) and
starting playing it and that Hakim classified Sama into three
kinds.
1. Muzak for laughing
2. Mubki for weeping
3. Manom for sleeping
In short, when he was starting playing harp, then first the
people at the meeting laughed very much. When he was starting
to play of Mubki on harp, then all people began weeping. When
he was starting to play of Manom on harp, then all people in the
meeting became unconscious. At that time, he wrote about the
place that Hakim Qarab came there and went away. When the
people of the meeting became in normal condition when they
saw the writing than they were able to know that ” and they
said: “This was Hakim Qarab which they do not know in this
matter.”
Then he said “ This was such philosopher (Hakim) who want
to make disbelief the caliph that the movement of the sky is by
intention and this thought is against the religion of the Sunnah
Wa Jammat (orthodox Muslims). When Sheikh Shahabuddin
Saherwardi came to know that the caliph is becoming an admirer
of that philosopher and he due to his miracle he was shown the
caliph and philosopher that the angels who move in the sky. He
solved this problem. In short Khaja Sahib was explaining this
story than one person came there and he was informed that there
857
was a boy was born in his house. Khaja Sahib told him “ To give
name Umar and title Shabuddin because at this moment there is
a discussion of Sheikh Shubuddin was in progress.” One person
from the audience said to him as the name gave as Umar but
there should be no scorn and diminutive to it.” In this matter,
Khaja Sahib told that “ Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakil had two
sons Mohammed and Ahmed. Many times when he will be
angry with them and at the time of angry he used to say, oh:
Khaja Ahmed why you did like this.?” “ Whether he will be
very much angry, but he will use to call their names as
mentioned above.” For calling names he said “ The prophet of
Allah was changed names of any person. If there will be a bad
name, then he will change it. So one person came into the
service of the Prophet of Allah and he asked his name. He told
his name is “ Qazi.” He told “ I give you your name as Musteih.
In this way, another person came there and he asked his name
and he told his name is Muztajih (Muztajih is such a person who
sits in the lap of the earth). He said “ I will give your name as
Munbais (Munbais is such person who left his side of the Earth).
One time one woman came and she asked her name and she
said to Shaab Alzalzala (valley of misguidance) and he said I
will rename your name as Shabul Huda (valley of guidance). In
this way the Prophet has given name to one person as Jamal and
this was happened that person was very powerful. Once some
people were going from destination to another destination. One
person gave him cleaning items so he took it to another
destination and another person was given him clothes and a third
person was given him other goods and in this way many persons
were given him many goods and that person was taken all the
goods of persons to another destination because he was given
the name of Jamal (camel) by the last Prophet of Allah.”
858
Discussion about naming of Hasan (R.A.) and Hussian

(R.A.)
Then he said this story that “ When Hasan was born than the
Prophet of Allah came there to convey congratulation and he
asked for Ali Bin Ali Taleb (R.A.) “ What name was given?” He
said “ Hazan. And the Prophet said “No. His name should be
given as Hasan.” When Hussain was born than the Prophet of
Allah came there to convey congratulations and he was asked by
Ali Bin Ali Taleb (R.A.) “ What name was given to Him? ” Ali
Bin Taleb (R.A.) said “ Harb and then he said, “ To give his
name as Hussain.”
Discussion about the temperament of the disciple
After that the discussion was started about many persons who
present in the service of the master and when they left from their
master after becoming a disciple but their temperament will not
remain the same. In this connection he said this story that “ One
pious person used to say that when any person will come to see
him and when he will go with him so when there will a stand,
pillar in between him and which will become obstacle so for this
reason disciple’s temperament will not be same. ”
Then he said one pious told that “ If he will give the option
to be handing over his soul inside of the door of the house or on
the outside door of the house he will be martyred. Khaja sahib
said “ The door which is inside of the house and which is called
Babal-Bait and the door which will be there outside of the house
and which is called Babal-Dar. So I will say this that his soul
should be taken on the Babal-Bait with faith because nobody did
not know that whether he will reach from Babal-Bait to the
Babal-Dar for safety of faith or not.”?
Then he said “ On the temperament of the people that there
859
will be a change which is not causing during this time, but it was
happening the same since the olden times. When the Prophet of
Allah was passed away from the world then many thousand
Muslims apostatized and they a sent message in the service of
Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) that if you do not take religious tax
(Zakat) then they will continue in the religion of Islam and
otherwise no. He was taken advice from his friends and some
told that “ If you do some softness perhaps they will not make
revolt against of Islam. It is better that they should be forgiven
in this matter.” Abu Baker (R.A.) took out his sword and he said
“ It is right of Allah and if for them if there will be less of tie
rope of the bell of the camel, then he will fight with this sword
with them.”, When this news was reached to Ali Ben Ali Taleb
(R.A.) then he said “ Really the caliph was given good order. If
he will give the order not to pay religious taxes (Zakat) than
during the rule of the second caliph then they ask for forgiveness
from the prayer. And, in this way it will be happening that all
orders of the Islamic religion will be asked to forgive.”
Then Khaja Sahib said once Sheikh Fariduddin said “ One
person was became his disciple when he was going far away
from him and after some time his temperament was changed and
he could not keep his same temperament. One more person was
became his disciple and when he went far away from him, but
his mind was, same as it was and when he was with me. Even
though he was away from me for some period of time, but there
was no little change in his temperament. At last after a long
period his temperament was changed. Then he addressed me and
he said “ This man when he became his disciple and from that
time his temperament is same and in it there is no change at all.”
“ When Khaja Sahib was reached on this matter than he was
860
being shut in tears and he said till now there is your love in my
mind and even it is more than that.”
The discussion about Khwaja Shahi Moitab
On Saturday of the 10th Zeqad of the month in the year
Hijira year 716, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
The discussion about Khaja Moitab was started and who used to
reside in Badayun. He said “ Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori used to
call him royal godly person because in those days he was given
saintly dress. By somebody, he told him that “ Today we have
done this work that the king was given saintly dress and do you
agree on this matter.? ” Sheikh Moitab told that “ Whatever you
have done it is right.”
From here the discussion about his brother Khaja Devgir
Moitab was started and he said that “ Then Moulana Siraj Haifz
Badayuni who is a special disciple of Khaja Sahib started his
speech like that one night he was woken upon and did fresh
ablution and prayed two rakat and he died. Khaja Sahib said “
Kama Tasishun Tamutun” and it means who will spend their life
in such a way and in the same way they will die.
From here the discussion about Khaja Shahi Moitab was
started. There was a large crowd of people used to be around
him. Where ever he will go there will be crowding around him.
In those days in Badayun, one Darwesh Masood Njashi used to
live there. When he will see in the crowd of Khaja Shahi
Moitab, then he will say “ Oh: gypsy (as he was of black color)
you will die upon warming of the bathroom. ” Khaja Sahib said
“ Really, it has happened like that it means he was dying exactly
his during the youth period. Khaja Sahib said “ Really, it has
happened like that it means he was dying exactly his during the
youth period.”
861
The discussion about not to express of the miracles

After that, the discussion about not to express of the miracles
was started. He said “ Creation of miracles is not a great thing.
Muslims should be straight forward and poor as well as should
be a beggar like. Then he was told the story of Khaja Abul
Hasan Norani that “ He was seen a fisherman on the bank of
river Tigris and he told him to throw a fishing net in the river
and catch fish if he is a person of saintliness and miracles, then
there will come with your net fish by weight of 2.5 Sairs (one
Sair weight equivalent to about 2 lbs) and it will not be less or
more.” He was thrown net and caught fish and when he was
weighed then fish was 2.5 Sairs and not less or more. In short,
when this matter was reached to Shaikh Junaid of Baghdad said,
“ Perhaps in that fishing net there will be found black snake than
fish which may bite Abul Hasan and killed him. And he was
asked why? And he said, “ If that snake will kill him, then he
will face the death of a martyr. But now he is living and it is not
known whether his happy ending will happen or not?”
From here, the discussion started about one Darwesh. If there
will be a pain in the stomach of any person, then he will say to
eat dilapidation and upon eating of it, that person will become in
good health. In short whatever he will say then it will be
happening like that. Sheikh Ali Shoredida told him, “Do not say
such things and from this, there will be a loss.” At last, it has
happened like that. So he was faced with the trouble. Then
Sheikh Ali Shoredida came and said “ Did he not tell him that he
should not say such things which will cause trouble to him.?
You did not follow his advice and he was badly affected in
trouble. ” That Darwish told, “ I did bad so now pray for me so
that he can become healthy. ” Sheikh Ali Shoredida did not pray
862
for him and he was dead in that illness.

Then a discussion of Sheikh Ahmed Nehrvani was started
that, “ If the weight of his worship is done, then it will be equal
in weight of worship of two Sufi persons.” When he will go to
the central mosque then along with him, there will be his friends
there. He was used to going mosque with such a large gathering.
And one more Darwish Ali Shoredida used to prohibit Ahmed
Ali not to go to the central mosque with such a large gathering.
One day Sheikh Ahmed Ali came to the mosque along with his
friends and on the way one person was stabbed another person.
Sheikh Ahmed reached there along with his friends and made a
circle around them and released the oppressed person. At that
time, Sheikh Ali Shoredida came there. Sheikh Ahmed when he
saw him, then told him, “ For such work he used to leave from
his house along with his friends.”
From here the discussion about Sheikh Ahmed Nehrwani
whose he was the disciple was started and the Sheikh said “
Whose disciple he was God knows.? It is said he was getting
such grace by Fakhiya Madhu, who was Imam (leader) of the
central mosque in Ajmer city. One day Sheikh Ahmed was
singing monsoon song and his voice was very good. When
Fakhia Madhu has heard his voice and he said “ Such nice voice
and singing monsoon song and it is a great matter of regret. You
memorize Quran so Sheikh Ahmed memorized Quran. Khaja
Sahib said at the Sama meeting in which this event has
happened of Sheikh Bakhtiar in which Sheikh Ahmed also was
present there. And the details of the event of Sheikh Qutubuddin
Bakhtiar were recorded in previous pages of this book.”
After that discussion about Darwish persons of Badayun was
started. He told “ There was one Darwish Aziz Basher who used
863
to live there. He came to Delhi from Badayun. And he then

wanted to get a saintly dress by service of the Moulana
Nasihuddin and who was the son of Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori
and with this intention, he was gathered so many Dervish
persons and arranged a meeting at the reservoir of Sultan and
during this meeting every person told about the sweetness of the
reservoir water of the Sultan. Aziz Basher who came there in
demand of saintly dress and he said “This reservoir is ordinary
and in Badayun there is better reservoir than this.” Khaja Karim,
who was also present there when he was heard from him then he
told Khaja Nasihuddin that he should not to give him saintly
dress. Because he is known as a mean person. Moulana
Nasihuddin did the same and he did not give him saintly dress.”
Then he said about police chief of Badayun that “ He was
the servant of the Darwish persons and he was a disciple to
Sheikh Ziauddin who was a resident of Badayun. Sometimes he
will remember Darwish persons and used to call them in his
house and used to hear them talking. He was martyred exactly in
his youth period. About him, he said one day “ He went to
Anbtan place which is known as Likhi Alu. That police chief
Aziz was sitting under a tree and clothing for serving of dishes
was there and when he was seen him from far, then he said
welcome and come and I was afraid that whether he will cause
any suffering.? When I reached there he was given me very
much respect and honour and asked me to sit near him. After
meals, I was returning back from there. Moulana Sirajuddin
Hafiz Badayuni was also present there and he said, “Who does
not have Sheikh (learned person) then Satan will become his
Sheikh.” The is saying of the prophet “ Min Laisa Lahu Sheikh
Nashiqa Shaitan.” Khaja Sahib told this saying of learned
persons. Then Moulana Sirajuddin asked whether “ Min Lam
864
Yar Muflehan La Yaflehu AbAdam. ” It means one who will not

see the person of cultivation, then he will not get prosperity and
is it saying of the Prophet of Allah.? ”He said, “ It is also saying
the learned persons.”
After that, he said about one Dervish that “ When he will see
any person who is not a disciple of someone, then he will use to
say that person did not sit in the of balance of anyone.” I asked
him, “What is its meaning is that whether there is no weight of
him.” He said that “No, but its meaning is that one who will
become the disciple of any person then on the day of judgment
his deeds will be placed in the scale of his master. ” So one who
will not become the disciple of anyone then it is said that he is
not sitting on the scale of any person and it means he has no
master of him.”
On Tuesday of the 11th Zil Hajj, in the year of 716 Hijira, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. As those days
were of Tashreeq (the days of Tashreeq are the 11th, 12th and
13th of Dhu’l-Hijjah.) days. At that time, there was very much
rush of the people and so many times meals were brought there.
In a good mood he asked with one Darwish, which verse of the
Quran did you like and he said ‘Aklaha Daim' and it means to
eat it always. He said this world is as per four types Akal, Ukal,
Akla, Ukla and after that, his descriptive about four words that it
Akla noun of action and Ukal the thing which is eaten, Akla is
diet for one time. Ukla is one morsel. At that time one Dervish
came there with a small boy with one tablet and he said this is
his boy and on his tablet write with his holy pen so that due its
blessing Allah grant him the Quran in his fate. Khaja Sahib took
the tablet in his hand and wrote and he said “ One who will write
for work for any person then if pen write easily and do not delay
865
in this matter then that work will be completed. And, if the pen
works with difficulty, then there will be a delay in the
completion of that work. “ After that, he told all these are
deceptions of wisdom. Whatever they want to manifest than they
should show it as per her wisdom and then its manifestation is
becoming legal.”
Then the story of Khaja Shahi was started that, “ He was
famous in Badayun and all creatures used to see him. Where
ever he will go there will be a great gathering. Khaja Shahi was
a man of black color. During that time, there was one Darvish
Mahmood Najashi was there and once he told Khaja Shahi “ Oh:
gypsy you have warmed very much, bathroom in which you will
be burnt down. ” So it was happening like that. He died during
his youth period.
Later he told about one Dervish that, “ He was going to
Gujrat and he said that he was seen one mad person there and
who was a man of realization and revelation. I and that mad
person used to live in one house and sleep in one room. Once he
went that reservoir where nobody is allowed to put their step
there. The guards of the reservoir were known to me. They have
allowed me to do ablution there. Some women came there to a
collection of water from there, but they have not been allowed to
put their steps there. One old woman came in and asked me to
bring water to her in an earthen water pot and I have filled it
with water. In this way, four women asked me to fill their
earthen water pots, one after another which I have filled their
earthen water pots. Then I come back to my room and seen that
mad person was sleeping there. There was a time of prayer so
told announcement of the initiation of congregational prayers
(Takbir) in a loud voice so mad person was wake up and he said
866
“ What a noise he is making.? The work was that which you did
to that woman by filling water in her earthen water pot.”
Different discussions
On the Tuesday of the 12th Shaban of the month in the year
Hijira year 717, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Shaikh
Saheb. This reason was it that I was going to Dilgir cantonment.
When I kissed his feet than he paid very much kindness and
affection to me. He asked me about the difficulties of the ways
in the journey and he was showing fondness to me. Maleh who
is my old friend and he is having difficulty of some illness and
he came in the service of the Sheikh in his illness along with me
there., He asked “ About the illness and I told him due to his
illness, I was staying in the way.” He said “You did good if one
who will be a friend than it is expedient for him that he should
be with him at the time of illness. And to treat him with
faithfulness.”
After that, he told one story in this connection that “
Ibrahim Qawas used to be in journey always and he will not stay
in any city for more than 40 days and where ever he will go he
use to stay less than 40 days then he will proceed another city. In
this way, he was spending his whole life in the journey period.
Once one young man requested him to keep with him. He said
you will not stay with him as he will use to stay for some time in
one city and then he will stay in another city and some time with
luggage and some time without luggage but the young man
insisted on this matter, he will be accompanied with him. When
there was a very much request and obligation than he was ready
in this matter. In short, he has travelled from one city to another
city along with him. Where ever he will go he will not stay for
more than 40 days in one city. In one place, that the young man
867
was becoming ill and for this reason he has stayed in that place
for a period of three months. Then one day that young man
desired to eat bread and fish and he told this to him. He has one
donkey with him and on which he was used to ride it sometimes.
Except it there was nothing for him to sell and fulfill the desire
of the young man. So he sold a donkey and fulfilled the desire
of the young man. After some time, then the young man was
becoming healthier. Then he started the journey, then the young
man asked him to give his donkey so that he can ride on it. He
told him “ He was sold it for the purchasing of the bread and fish
for him. In short, they departed from there and for three days he
was travelling with that young man while carrying him on his
neck. The meaning of this story is that we have to spend our
lives along with our friends in a decent way. When he finished
this story than he told the story of his illness. I heard the news
of his illness in the cantonment area that somebody was doing
magic on him. When I was asked about it, then he said, “Yes, he
was ill for two months. And after that he called some person
who was an expert in removing magical effects and he came
there and he made the rounds around the house many times and
every time he will collect some soil and smell the earth and
when he smells soil of one place then he asked to dig this place
and there he was found signs of magic. During this time, that
person told that “ He is such expert person that if he wants, then
he can tell the name of the person who did magic.” When Khaja
Sahib heard this then told that “ It is warning that he should not
tell the name.? I have forgiven him. “ Somebody told that some
person was doing magic on the Sheikh Fariduddin. He said
“Yes. ” It was magic. Those persons who did this act and
involved in it were caught and sent by the ruler of Ajodhan in
the presence of Sheikh Fariduddin and asked him what to do
868
with them.? But Sheikh Fariduddin forgive them.”

He said “ On the Prophet of Allah magic was also done and
when verse “Mazetan” was revealed, then there was a remedy
for magical accidents. Ali Ben Taleb (R.A.) told in the service of
the prophet that “ If there will be permission than the women
who did magic to kill her.?” The Prophet said “As Allah has
made him healthy so I forgive her.”
The martyrdom of Umar bin Qattab (R.A.)
After that, he said about Umar Bin Qattab (R.A.) that, “ He
was on the pulpit on Friday and during the sermon he said you
should know that my death is near and I am not saying this as
per miracle way, but I have seen dream that one bird came and
who hit two times with her beak to me and seeing of the bird in
the dream is death. As per this logic, I will say that my death is
near. So he was martyred in the next week. One slave Mugera
Ibn Lulu was struck at him with his sword in the arch. When he
was falling down, then that slave went outside and he also killed
nine more other persons. Later he killed himself. Still Umar bin
Qattab (R.A.) was living and the news reached to him that slave
was killed other nine other persons and after that he killed
himself. Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) told: “ Thanks, Allah that he
killed himself and he was not killed for him.”
The martyrdom of Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.)
He said about Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.) that, “ He was
martyred by Abdul Rahman Maljam. This event has happened
like that he was equipped with weapons and followed Ali Ibn
Ali Taleb (R.A.) and whom he does not have any weapons on
him. He was walking on the bank of the river in which the water
level was of feet only. There was a cemetery near that area. The
ruler of Muslims called in the direction of the cemetery than 70
869
persons replied to him. Then he called the names of the person

than 7 persons replied to him. When he was called a third time,
then one person has replied to him. Ruler of the Muslims asked
him where the river in at foot level. And he was told that at the
place where he is standing. And from where he has crossed the
river. Abdul Rahman Muljam was listening to all these
conversations. He had also crossed the river. He said “ Oh: Ali
did you remember all names of the dead persons along the
names of their father’s names. He said, “ Yes, but he wanted that
he should know his condition.” In short Ali Ibn Ali Taleb (R.A.)
was standing in the prayer, then Abdul Rahman Mauljam came
there and strike with a sword on him and when he was hurt then
he said “Fazat Warabba Al Kaaba” and these were the last
words of the ruler of the Muslims. I asked him “ Whether Abdul
Rahman was Muslim.? ” He said “Yes, but he was supported of
Maviya. ” Then I asked “ How to keep belief about Maviya.?”
He said “ He was a Muslim companion of the prophet and he
was the son of the prophet’s father in law and his sister’s
daughter, Um Habiba was the wife of the prophet of Allah.”
After finishing this story, he said about “ The difference
between fondness and separation because I was present at the
service of the Sheikh Sahib after the period of 8 months and also
many of the dear persons came from cantonment. He said “ He
was sent in his application in the service of Sheikh Fariduddin in
which I was writing one quatrain.” After that when I present in
the service of the Sheikh Fariuddin then he was mentioned about
that quatrain and he told that he was remembered it.”
870
On Monday the 3rd Ramadan of the month in the year

Hegira year 717, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
Sheikh’s one disciple was given six Chitals to me and he asked
to give it to Sheikh Sahib. I have presented all those Chitals to
Sheikh Sahib and told him all details in this matter. He has
collected Chitals in his hand and kept them by his side. Then he
said this story that “ Once Sheikh Shabuddin Saherwardi came
back from Hajj pilgrimage then the people of Baghdad were
present in his service and everybody brought some gifts and
presents in cash and kinds and among them one old lady came
there and she was opened the edge of old the bed cover and she
was placed one Dirham before him. He was taken that Dirham
and he was kept, its upper on all other gifts and presents. Then
he said all people who were present there to take away whatever
they like from there. Everybody was taken by the thing as per
their desire from there. Sheikh Jalauddin Tabrazi was also
present there so Sheikh has given him the signal to take him
something from there. Sheikh Jalaluddin was standing and took
the Dirham which was on the upper of all gifts and presents
there. Then Sheikh Sahib told to Sheikh Jalauddin that “ He was
took everything from there.” The compiler of the book asked
whether Sheikh Jalauddin was a disciple of Sheikh Shabuddin?”
He said “No, he was a disciple of Sheikh Abu Saeed Tabrazi and
when he was dead than he came into the service of Sheikh
Shuabuddin and he did such service that which is not available
to anybody.” It is said that Sheikh Shuhabuddin used to go Hajj
pilgrimage every year from Baghdad and when he was become
old then his tiffin which will be used to carry by him during the
journey period and which was not become suitable for his
conditions of temperament. The cold food was not become
suitable for his temperament as he was becoming old, so for this
871
reason Sheikh Jalauddin used to carry a stove and cauldron on

his head in the way that it was not burning his head and meals
will be ready available hot always. If Sheikh Sahib needs the
meals, then it will be made hot and served to him.”
From a here discussion about Sheikh, Jalaluddin Tabrizi
was started and he said, “ His master Abu Saeed Tabrizi, who
was a pious person and was a higher level of a person of a
hermit. So there will be loans on him always. But he does not
use to take anything from anybody. It was happening that one
time the meals were not cooked. He and his friends used to do
breakfast with watermelons and they used to live in this way.
When this news reached the local ruler, then he said he did not
accept anything from us. Took cash and give to the servant of
the shrine building and ask him to spend its small amount of it
and do not inform to the Sheikh so the royal servant was given
cash to the shrine servant and instructed him to spend as per
expedience and not to intimate the Sheikh in this matter. In short
the cash was brought and spent there. So on that, the day the
Sheikh could not feel comfortable in his obedience and fervor
which he used to find it. He called the servant and asked him “
In the night the meals which you have cooked and from where it
was coming?. ” Servant could not hide the matter from him and
he told him all details. He asked who brought it and where he
put his steps and from where to dig the soil and thrown it away.
He was removed that servant from the service and also from the
shrine for this mistake.
Sheikh Shabudin
After that, he said about Sheikh Shabuddin that, “ He got a
large amount of the victories. But he used to spend all almost all
money and when the time of his death came then his son Emad
872
and his conditions are not matched with his father and he was
asked the key from the servant. The servant did not give him the
key and told him “ Oh: is this a good thing that Sheikh Sahib is
in the condition of the agonies of death and you are asking the
key.? ” When Sheikh Sahib has heard this conversation then he
said the servant “ To give the key to his son. ” When he was
opening the treasury only six Dinars were there and that amount
was spent on the funeral rites and ceremonies of him.
On the Thursday on the 4th Ramadan of the month in the
year Hijira year 717, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh Sahib. One student came there and from him, he was
asked about the condition of his education. He was told, “ He
has completed his education. Now he has come and goes in the
caravan of Sultan so that he could get bread in abundance.”
When he was left from there Khaja Sahib recited one Persian
couplet.
After that, he said “ The line of poetry is a delicate thing, but

when it is said in praise of any person and it will be taken with
to anybody then it will be become very un-elegant. In this same
way knowledge is it is a gentle thing, but when an accomplish
person wanders door to door, then his respect will be going
down.” At that time one slave disciple came there along with
one non-Muslim Indian person and he said he is his brother and
when they sat there the Sheikh asked the slave whether your
brother is interested in the religion of Islam, then he told him
that he brought him there for this purpose so that due to his look
of inclination he will become Muslim. Khaja Sahib shut, tears
and he said that “ On this nation, there will be no effect of
saying of anybody. Yes, if he will come and go in the company
873
of pious person perhaps then due to the blessing he will become

Muslim.”
The King of Iraq
After then, he told this story that “ When caliphate was got
by Umar Bin Qattab (R.A.) at that time batle with the king of
Iraq was fought and he was defeated in the battle and he was
caught in the battle and he was brought before Umar Bin Qattab
(R.A.). And who told him, “If you will become Muslim than
your country of Iraq will be given back to you.” He told that “
He will not accept the religion of Islam. ” He told him to accept
Islam otherwise, he will be killed and he told to kill him. He
said, “ To kill him but will not accept the religion of Islam.”
Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) be told to bring a sword and call the
executer. That king was wise and was firm in his religion. When
he saw this situation than he addressed him and told him that he
is thirsty, so some water may be given to him. Umar bin Qattab
(R.A.) asked a servant to bring water in water glass. The water
was brought from there, but the king told he will not drink water
in the glass. Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) asked to bring water in gold
and silver water glass as he is king. So they obeyed his order.
But then it also he did not drink water and he said to bring water
in the earthen pitcher. So the earthen pitcher of water was
brought there. Later he addressed with Umar bin Qattab (R.A.)
that to agree with him that till he drinks water he should not be
killed. He said “Yes, until will you not drink water I will not
kill you. ” So he was given full water in the earthen pitcher to
him. The king of Iraq thrown the earthen pitcher on the earth,
and which was broken there and water were flown from it. Later
he told to Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) that “ He did not drink water
and there is was your agreement that until I will not drink water
874
I will not be killed. So his life may be a forgiven. ” He was

surprised by seeing his wisdom. He said “ Yes, I was forgiven
you. ” After that he was given him to his friend who was very
pious and ascetic person and he was there for some period of
time and due to his ability and asceticism, there was left some
effect on him. Then he sent a message to Umar bin Qatab
(R.A.) to called towards him. So that he will become Muslim.
He called him and he was accepted by Islam and later told him
that he will give him back the country of Iraq. He told “ He does
not want his country back and give him any deserted village of
Iraq so that he should be readily habitation it. He was sent some
persons to Iraq and they search very much there, but they could
not find any deserted Village. They returned back from there
and reported the matter to him. The king was also informed in
this respect. He told that he was meant to say that “ I have
handed over Iraq in the condition of habitation and if any village
will be deserted later than on the day of judgment you will be
answered there.” On this story, Khaja Sahib shut, tears and he
has praised the king of Iraq very much for wisdom and
knowledge.
The honesty and truth
After that, he told the story about Islam and the peoples of
Islam’s honesty and truth that in the neighborhood of Ba -Yazid
Bustami there was one Jew’s house was there. When Ba-Yazid
died, then that the Jew was asked “Why you did not become
Muslim.? ”. He said “ Why he will become Muslim because the
Islam which was available to Ba-Yazid which I could not get. If
this is such Islam, which has got them to such Islam, he feels
ashamed of it.”
875
The marriage of girl of Malih

On the Tuesday of the 27th Ramadan of the month in the
Sheikh Saheb. Malih who is my friend who bought some sugar-
candy because his daughter was married. When Khaja Sahib was
known that Malih had four daughters and when he was seen
sugar-candy then he asked “ What is this.? ” I told him “ His
daughter was married. ” Khaja Sahib paid attention towards him
and said “ One who have one daughter, then there will be a veil
between him and the fire of hell. You have four girls. Then he
told with his holy tongue, he said: “ Abul Banat said to Marzouq
that the sustenance of the daughters is very large.”
The Killing of boy by Prophet Khizer (A.S.)

After that, he told the story of Prophet Khizer (A.S.) that
“When he was killed one boy so Prophet Musa (A.S.) blamed
him that why he did kill the pure soul?.” Prophet Khizer (A.S.)
did not know the result of it. He replied it. In short, in the house
of that boy’s father, one girl was born and from, her seven
persons of saintliness were born.”
Then he asked me “ Where did I perform Tarawih (special
night prayers in the month of Ramazan) prayer?” I told him that
“I used to perform in the house. And there is one leader (Imam).
He asked, “ What I recite?.” I told him “ Chapter Fatiha and
verse Iqlas.” He said that “ It is Good.” Afterward, he said “
Sheikh Fariduddin used to recite these chapters. As the Sheikh
was becoming very old, so he used to perform Tarawih prayer
by sitting. Only obligatory prayers he used to perform by
standing and all other prayers he used to perform by sitting.
Then he told about one pious person who used to say that, “ If
876
he will eat one morsel and will sleep, but it is better than to fill
the stomach and to stand and passed it during the whole night.”
Subsequently, he said “ Sheikh Fariduddin used to eat fewer
meals at the time for breakfast. If he makes the intention, then
there will be a complaint of fever, etc., but he used to keep the
fasting.”
Afterward, he said about Sheikh Bahuddin Zakaria that, “ He
used to keep less fasting. But his obedience and worship was
very much then he has recited this verse which is as follows.”
“Wakulu Min Al-Tayabat Wa Lamu Salehan” and its meaning
“ Eat pure meals and do good deeds.”
Then he said Sheikh Suhabuddin was among such persons in
whose favour this verse of the Quran is true.
The love of the children
On the Friday or Saturday on the 4th Ramazan month in the
Sheikh Sahib. The discussion about the love of children was
started and he said “ The Prophet of Allah used to love the
children very much and with them he used to treat with softness
and love.” Then he said this story that “ Once the Prophet of
Allah was saw Imam Hasan that he was playing with the
children and then he put his own hand under chin and the other
hand on his head and kissed him.” During this time I told him
that “Once the prophet of Allah for the sake of Imam Hasan and
Imam Hussain make sound of the camel.” He said “Yes.” It is
generally well known and it is available in the books. He said “
Naam al-Jamal Saliman.”
Later he told this story that during the caliphate of Umar bin
877
Qattab (R.A.) he was appointed one of his friends as ruler of any

place and he, was written and given him orders of the
appointment in this matter. On the way Umar bin Qattab (R.A.)
picked up one boy and kissed him and that friend told him that “
He had ten boys with him, but he does not have to love with
them and he never kisses them.” Umar Bin Qattab (R.A.) asked
him to give back the order of his appointment and then so he
was given him back the order to him so he tear off it into pieces
and he told him that “You do not have love with the children
then you will not have the love of the elders.”
On the Wednesday on the 5th Zil Hajj of the month in the
year Hegira year 717, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. One person came there and he asked him “ From where
did he come.? ” He said, “ From Darul Khilafat.” But he was
coming from the cantonment which is in Joseri and now its
name was changed as Darul Khilafat so he told that he came
from Darul Khilafat.”
The Story of Baghdad city
From here the story of Baghdad was started that first it is
called Mansour. Because this city was habituated by caliph
Mansour. Then he said it is also called Madina al-Islam. During
this period discussion about the pious person of reality and their
love were started. He said “ On the day of judgment Maruf
Karqi will come there and he will such become in the condition
of ecstasy that the creatures will be surprised. And they will ask
who is he.? There will be calling in which it will say that “ He is
in Our ecstasy of Our love. He is called Maruf Karqi. Then there
will be a command him to go to the heaven.” He will say “ No,
he did not do his worship for the sake of paradise.” Then there
will be a command to the angels “To put him in chains of light
878
and take him to the paradise. Then they will take him by pulling
to the paradise.” One person from the audience questioned that
“Allah is very great and pure and the position of the sons of
Prophet Adam (A.S.) is in the low status. What is relation in
between love and nearness?.” Khaja Sahib said “ It cannot be
explained well by the tongue. It is not matter of the discussion.”
I told him in this connection “ I know one line of the poetry and
I recited it and when I recited it then Khaja Sahib recited another
line of the poetry.”
Discussion about excellence of knowledge and Asaim Quari
On the Friday or Saturday of the 18th Rabil Awwal of month
in the Hegira year 718, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh. The discussion about excellence of knowledge was
started. He said “ One pious person had the attribute of
knowledge and when he was asked about where he was getting
this grace.”? He said “ I asked his teacher Asim Qari to tell some
details about knowledge of his teacher.” He said “ Once one
mean person wants to do meanness to him from outside of
habitation and in the jungle and he was started saying him bad
words but he did not tell him anything. Till that he was reached
near to the city. But that mean person was continued such
meanness to him. When persons came there and Quari Sahib
said to him gentleman let it be. Here are many of his knowing
persons are there. It will be happening that there will be
difficult for him.” After that to his knowledge he told one more
story that “ He was sitting in his service. Some students were
studying the sayings of the Prophet of Allah. He was sitting
there while putting his head on the knees and covering with
cloth. In this condition he was teaching the lesson. At that time
one person came there and he told him that “ His son was
879
killed.” He asked “ Who killed him ”.? He said “ The sons of

your uncle and perhaps there may be enmity in between them
and he was killed in the fighting.” Qari Sahib said him, “ He to
go and tell such a person to perform his funeral prayer and bury
his son in such a place.” After saying this he was asked to his
students that, “What were studying and continues study.” That
pious person said “There were no effects of change on the face
of Qari Sahib.”
Discussion about toleration of Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.)
After that Khaja Sahib said that, “ Among the companions
of the prophet said Hazrat Abu Baker was attributed with
toleration. Once one person by indecent nature puts blame on
him and then he said “ Gentleman whatever defects in him and
among them some are manifested.” When Khaja Sahib told this
story then the time of departure of the audience was coming near
from the meeting place. I told him “ I used to present less in the
service of the master and used to spend most of the time in the
remembrance of the master in the house. Or this better to visit
him on every day in the service of the Sheikh.?” He said “ It is
better to remain in the remembrance of the master whether it
may be away from him in manifestation. |”
The story of Sheikh Fariduddin
After that, he said, “ This is story of Sheikh Fariduddin after
one week or two weeks used to present in the service of Sheikh
Qutubuddin and against this Sheikh Baderuddin and other dear
persons used to be in the service of the Sheikh Qutubuddin
daily and they present there. When the time of death of Sheikh
Qutubuddin came then he called the name of the pious person
who is buried at his foot side in his mausoleum and he has a
desire to become his successor and Sheikh Baderuddin was also
880
wanting to become successor to him, but at the Sama meeting in

which Sheikh Qutubuddin was died in which he said to give his
garment, staff and wooden shoes to Sheikh Fariduddin. Khaja
Sahib said “ He was seen that staff, garment and quilted
coverlet”. In short, in the night when Sheikh Qutabuddin was
dying and at that time Sheikh Fariduddin was in Hansi city. On
that night, Sheikh Fariduddin was seeing his master in the dream
that he is calling towards his shrine. On the next day, Sheikh
Fariduddin was departed from Hansi and the fourth day he was
reached to Delhi. Qazi Hameed Nagori was living at that time
and he brought the garment and other things in his service. He
was prayed two Rakat of thanks and then he wears that garment
and he lived in the house in which Sheikh Qutubuddin used live
there. He was not staying in Delhi not more than three days and
as per tradition, he was staying in Delhi seven days. Then he
started towards Hansi. The reason for coming to Hansi was that
when he was staying in Delhi in the house of Sheikh
Qutubuddin then at that time one person Sirhinga came to see
him from Hansi two or three times, but the guard of the shrine
building not allowed him to enter into the building. One day
when he was out of the house, then that person Sirhinga was
fallen on his feet and be began weeping. Sheikh Sahib asked
“Why he is weeping.” He told “ Because when you are in Hansi
then he can see him easily there, but now your sight is very
difficult.” He told his friends at that time, he is now going again
to Hansi. The persons in the audience told him that “ Sheikh
Qutubuddin was asking you to stay here. Why you are going to
another place? ” He said “ The grace which he will get and
which is same in the jungle and the city area. ”
881
The good faith of disciples

On the Saturday of the 3rd Rabil Akhir month in the year
Hijira year 718, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
The discussion about good belief of the disciple and care of
sayings of the master was started. He said “Qazi Hameeduddin
Nagori’s master Sharafuddin resident of Nagore and a desire in
his mind was finding that he should become a disciple of Sheikh
Fariduddin and with this intention he left from Nagore. He had
one slave girl and her price was about 100 gold coins and she
told him to convey her salam to Sheikh Fariduddin and also one
small turban of the embroidery work she has sent in the
service of the Sheikh.”
When Moulana Sharafuddin was reached in the service of
Sheikh Fariduddin then first he was conveyed salam from his
slave girl and he said she was sent this turban for him and he
took it and presented before him. Sheikh Fariduddin told with
his holy tongue that “May Allah give her freedom. ” When
Moulana Sharifuddin stood before the Sheikh and he thought in
his mind that as Sheikh Sahib’s tongue it was said that Allah
grants her freedom. So it is necessary that she will become free.
But the slave girl is very costly. So he could not free her. But he
will sell her. It is possible that one who will buy her will free
her. Then again, there was thought in his mind that the house in
which the slave girl will be free then it that house there will be
available reward. So why he should have not got such reward of
it.? And with, this intention, he came back in service with the
Sheikh and told him that “ He was freed that slave girl.”
The love and enmity of the world
On Saturday the 3rd Rabil Thani month, in the year Hijira
year 718, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
882
discussion of love of the world and court of law was started. He

said with his holy tongue that “ There are three kinds of the
mankind. The first kind is such persons who will think dearer
the world and they discuss it day and night and they demand it
and such persons are very much. The second kind is such
persons who think of it as an enemy. And they remember it with
badness and they are completely against it. The third kind is
such people who do not have enmity or do not have a friendship
with it and such persons are better than the above two categories
of the lovers of the world.”
After that, he told this story that “ Once one person came in
the service of Rabia of Basra and he began saying bad words to
the world.” Rabia asked him “ Not to come again to see her
because it seems that you are a friend of the world and for this
reason that you remember it.”
From here, the discussion about leaving the world was started
when he said “ About one Dervish and his name was Ajdhoni
Kethal and who was used to living in an area of Kuhram. And
who was a hermit. Because he does not wear a dress. I asked
him “ Whether he had any of his master.” He said that “No, then
he said if he had his master then why he not covered his body. ”
From this it is known well that he did not have his master. After
that, he said “ He used to perform prayers very much. ” I told
him, “ If the master is a lover of the world then is it suitable for
him that he should prohibit the disciple from the love of the
World.? ” .He said “ If he will prohibit then there will be no
effect at all on this matter. ” Because there are two kinds of
tongues are there and one tongue of saying and other tongue of
the condition. The advice is not getting down from the tongue of
condition and when there will be no tongue of condition then
883
there will be no effect of the sayings.”

Then a discussion about Sheikh Shahabuddin was started
“Once he was getting turban from his Sheikh and which he used
to keep with him and used to get a blessing from it. One time he
was sleeping and that turban was gone on his foot side and by
chance it touched with his feet. When he was waking up and he
was worried very much about this matter. And due to in the
worry condition he said “ On the day of judgment I will be in the
sorrowful and aggrieved condition.”
Later he said “ The saintly dress which he got from Sheikh
Fariduddin and that rag dress is still with him. When he was
come to Ajodhan from Delhi and I was bringing that saintly
dress with me and with me one more traveler was also there.
During the journey, we have reached to such place where there
was danger of thieves. He caught my shirt’s edge. And we have
stood under one tree. At that time, some robbers came there and
they stood against us. There was came an idea into my mind that
this rag dress was given to me by Sheikh Fariduddin and so they
should not take it in any condition. Then there was came an idea
into my mind that if they will take them, I will not go to
habitation. After some time all robbers were dispersed from
there and they did not say anything to us. We have proceeded
further safely and securely.”
Then the discussion about the accumulation and expenses of
the world was started and he said “ Not to gather worldly things,
but yes clothes with which we cover our body is legal. But it
should not be in excess. Whatever we will get should be
spending it and do not accumulate it. ” Then he recited two
couplets and in which one couplet belongs to Qazi Sahib.
During this time he was given a toothbrush (Miswak) to
884
some person and he told this story that “One learned person
Noor Turk went from here towards Makkah and he settled
down there and he wrote on his house door that who do not have
a toothbrush (Miswak) with him than his entrance to his house is
illegal.”
After that, about the nobility of manners of Dervish was
started. He said Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair and Bu Ali Sena
met together and when both were separated from each other then
Bu Ali said to Sufi who used to live in the service of the Sheikh
that “ When he will leave from service of the Sheikh then
whatever Sheikh Sahib will say about me then you should write
to me.” When he was returned back from there then Sheikh
Sahib not told whether good or bad thing about him and not
discussed about him. When that Sufi did not hear from Sheikh
Sahib about Bu Ali Sena then he himself, he asked by Sheikh
Sahib about him “ How he is a man.?” He said “ He is a
philosopher, physician, doctor and learned person (Alim) but do
not have noble manners. ” Sufi wrote those remarks to Bu Ali
Sena. Bu Ali Sena replied him that “ He has written many books
about the nobility of the manners. Then why the Sheikh is
saying that I do possess a nobility of character with me?.” Then
Sheikh Sahib said that “ He did not have told that he did not
know of nobility of character. But I said that he does not have
nobility of character.”
After that, the discussion Qazi Minhajuddin was started and
he said “ I have discussed about him for a period two weeks ”
and on that day while he discussing about him he recited one
quatrain in Persian.
Khaja Sahib said “ When he was heard in the poetry when he
has become conscious and became normal after some time and
885
when he was started saying about details of him that he was a

person of fervor and one time he was called to the house of
Sheikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi. That day was Monday and he was
promised that he will come there after finishing his sermon and
after discourse he was reached there and where he was hearing
Sama (ecstasy) and tore out his garment and turban. Then he
recited two or three couplets of a poem of Sheikh Baderuddin
and out of the above one couplet I was remembering it.”
Then he said “ Qazi Minhajuddin, used to say Sheikh
Badruddin as red tiger. After that discussion about Sheikh
Nizamuddin Abu Mowaid was started. Then I asked him
“Whether he was heard for his sermon.” He said “ Yes, but in
those days he was a boy. So I could not understand its meaning
well. One day he was in a meeting of discourse and that is what
I see that he was entered into a mosque and he removed his
shoes and holding it in his hand and he prayed two rakat. In
prayer his shape and face were such that which is not like that of
anyone. After performing two rakat he was standing in the
pulpit. There was one person Qasim and whose voice was good
and that person recited one verse. After that Sheikh Nizamuddin
Abu Al-Moid said that he was seen writings of his father and
still he said this then all persons began weeping. Then he
recited one Persian couplet so all gatherings began starting
slogans. After that he was reciting this couplet two or three
times and then he said “Oh: Muslims other line of poetry of this
couplet he could not remember. So what he can do.? ” He said
this with such humility that there was so much effect on all
gatherings. Then Qasim recited other couplets so quatrain
(rabbi) was completed. Sheikh Sahib recited this quatrain and
got down from the pulpit.”
886
Then about his piousness Khaja Sahib told this story that “
One time due to scarcity of rainfall then he was forced to pray
for rainfall. He went to the pulpit and prayed for the rainfall.
After that he looked at the sky and he said “ Oh: Sustainer if you
will not send rain then he will not live in the habitation. ” By
saying this he was come down from the pulpit. Allah has sent
down the rain of mercy. Then Sheikh Qutbuddin met with him
and said that “ We have to trust in full about your reality and we
know also that you have got a complete acquaintance of Allah.
Then why you have said these words that if there will no
rainfall, then he will not live inhabitation. ” Sheikh Nizamuddin
Al-Moid said “ He knows well that Allah will surely send rain. ”
Then Sheikh Qutubuddin asked him how do you know that? “
He said “ One time there was his dispute of Syed Nooruddin
Mubrak with the Sultan Shamsuddin to sitting upon upper area
and lower place there and I said such thing to him there that
Syed Nooruddin was becoming angry with me. In those days
when he was asked to pray for rain than at that time I was going
into the mausoleum of Syed Nooruddin and he said there that he
was asked to pray. If you are angry with me and if you make a
compromise with me then I will pray for rain. If not, then he will
not pray. ” He heard a voice from his mausoleum that he is,
agreed and to go pray for the rain.”
The discussion about the prayer
On Wednesday of the 5th Jamad Al-Awwal in the year
Hegira year 718, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh
Sahib. The discussion about prayer was started. I asked him “
About changing of the place after performing the obligatory
prayer how it is,? “ He said “ It is better that to change the place.
If Imam will not change place then there is no matter. But
887
followers should change the place. At the time of changing

place, one should move at right side and direction should
towards Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer). ”
The kissing the hands of Darwish

On Friday of the 13th Jamad Al-Awwal in the Hijira year 718,
I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. The
discussion about kissing the hands of Dervish and to obtain of
blessing from them was started. He told his holy tongue that “
Darwish and saints who will give permission to kiss their hands
and in this their intention will be that perhaps in their hands
there will come the hand of a forgiven person.”
After that prayer of the Darwish was started that “ Once a
disciple of Khaja Ajal Shirazi told in his service that there is
neighbor and who looks at his house and he was prohibited him
well in this matter, but he could not stop it and he is giving me
difficulty.” Khaja Ajal told him that “ Whether he does not
know that you are my disciple., ” He said “Your honour he
knows this.” He said “ Then why his vertebra of his neck did not
break.?”. When Khaja Sahib said this than the disciple came
back to his house and he was seen breaking a vertebra of the
neighbor. He asked “ From where he was fallen,?. He said “He
was wearing wooden sleepers and his feet was slipped and he
was falling down and his vertebra of neck was broken.”
Then a discussion about the persons of reality was started. In
the olden days, four persons and whose names were Burhan
came from upper lands to Delhi and one among was Burhan
Balqi and the second was Burhan Kashani and other two
Burhan. I could not remember about them. In short in both of
them there was very much conformity and they used to eating
888
meals and drink together and also use to study of knowledge

together and in those days when they came to Delhi the judge
(Qazi) of Delhi was Saqir Kashani and who asked one issue with
Burhanuddin Kashani in one meeting and that Burhan Kashani
was a short height person and when he began answering then the
students told that what crumb will reply? And his nickname
became Reza. When he was heard this when he was standing
there. From that day, they began calling him at Reza. That Reza
person was strange. And at the last he became Abdal (an order
of saints). Khaja Sahib said “ He has seen him and everyday he
used to walk in spite of having ten horses with him. ” He will
not take with him his servants as he had more than 100 servants
with him. He had one son Nooruddin and who told his father
that “ You leave the house everyday alone and there are many
enemies of us. And it is better if you take with you one slave
with one pitcher.” He replied, his son that “ My son Mohammed
where I will use to go and if there will be capacity of any slave
then I will take you first.”
The prayers in the early days of month of Rajab
On the Sunday of the 29th Jamad Al-Awwal in the year
Sahib. As the month of Rajab was near I told him “ Owaise of
Qarn told for the prayer on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th month of
Rajab.” There is an idea came into my mind that anyone among
pious persons who said about any supplication or prayers and
which is heard by the prophet of Allah or companions of the
prophet. Khaja Owais told about such prayers and asked to
recite for verses there in it and from where he was heard.? “
Khaja Sahib said, “ It is from revelation.”
Then he said this story that “ Before this he was used to
889
visiting Ajodhan from Delhi in the service of Sheikh Sahib.

Then he used to read three names which are as follows and even
though nobody told these names to me.”
1. Ya Hafiz
2. Ya Nasir
3. Ya Moin
After a long time, one pious was given this supplication in
written which is as follows.
“Ya Hafiz, Ya Nasir, Ya Moin, Ya Malik Yaumidin Eyyaka
Nabudu Yayaka Nastain.”
After that, the discussion about venerable persons was
started and I told him that he was heard in one matter and which
is said like that “ Khaja Ba Yazid Bustami has said these
phrases. I do not find an interpretation of these phrases and my
mind is not satisfied. ” He asked “Which are that phrases. ” I
told it said these phrases which are as follows.
“ Mohammed Wa Man Duna Tahat Lawai Yaum Qaimat.”
It means Mohammed and all others will be under his flag on
the day judgment. He said “ Khaja Ba Yazid did not say this
phrase. ” Then he said, “ Yes, once he said such that, “Subhani
Ma Azam Shafi” and so for it in his last age asked for
forgiveness that he was not saying it rightly. And he was a Jew.
now, while breaking the sacred thread, he was becoming a
Muslim and he is saying “La Ilha Illahau Wahadahu La Sharika
Lahu Wahsandanna Mohammedan Abdahu Rasulahu.”
From here he started the discussion about the condition of
the Prophet of Allah and he said “ There will prevail condition
on the persons of Allah and venerable persons and its reason is
that the same condition will use to prevail to the Prophet of
890
Allah. So it is said that one day the prophet of Allah went into
one garden in which there was one well and he was sitting on
the edge of it there by lowering his feet in the well. And he was
engaged there in the invocation of Allah. Abe Musa Ashari was
with him. And he told him do not allow anybody to enter into
the garden without his permission., During this time Abu Baker
Siddiq (R.A.) came there and Abu Musa Ashari was informed
him in this matter. He told “To ask him to come inside and give
him glad tidings of the Paradise.” Abu Musa Ashari went from
there and he brought Abu Baker (R.A.) inside. He was sitting on
the right side of the Prophet of Allah. After that Usman Bin
Affan (R.A.) was brought inside. He sat at the opposite of the
prophet. After that, he said that “ As we are sitting here together
and in the same way our death will be happening in one place
and resurrection too.” When he finished this story then
discussion about saints (Fakirs) and saintly dress was starting.
Khaja Sahib said the Prophet of Allah was awarded saintly dress
on the night of the accession and he was called to his
companions and said that he got one saintly dress which will be
given to one person. I will ask one question about all persons
and its answer, he has and among you one who will reply
correctly then he will get this saintly dress. Then he asked “ Abu
Baker (R.A.) that what he will do if he will get this saintly
dress.? ” He said “ He will follow truth and obedience and
bounty.” Then he asked with Umar Bin Qattab (R.A.) and he
told that “ He will follow justice and equity.” Then he asked
with Usman Bin Affan (R.A.) and he told that “ He will
establish unanimity and generosity ”and at last he was asked Ali
Ben Ali Taleb (R.A.) and he said “He will keep secrets and to
hide defects in the men.” The prophet told him “ To take away
the saintly dress and he had this order with him that the person
891
who will say this reply then to give the saintly dress.”
Then he said about excellence of Ali Ben Ali Taleb (R.A.)
was started and he was lost his chain armour and one day he was
saw that chain armour in the hand of one Jew and caught him
and he told him that “ It is his chain armour.” The Jew told
“Makes its claim for it and prove it and take away from him.” In
those days he was caliph, and he said he himself was caliph and
the applicant then how such claim will be proved.? First to go
with Sharie and complete claim there. So he did the same. In
those days, Sharie was his deputy. In short, he went to Sharie
and claimed for chain armour. Then Sharie told him that “ Even
though he is caliph, but now he is doing judgment in his place in
this case as per his order. So you come here as an applicant and
he stood with the Jew.” So he was done as per the same and he
stood with Jew, and he said “ It is his chain armour and which is
in hand of Jewish illegal.” Shari asked to witness. He submitted
Hasan and Qanbar as witnesses. Shari said “Hasan is the son and
Qanbar is his slave so he does not take their witnesses as
accepted by him.” He said “ He is unable to present another
witness.” Shari be said to Jewish “ Take chain armour with him
and still there will be no two witnesses chain armour will not be
given to Him. ” When the Jew saw this dealing then he was
surprised in this matter and he said in his mind that how is
religion of Islam and immediately he was accepted religion of
Islam and he was given chain armour to Ali Ben Ali Taleb
(R.A.) and said “ It is his right on it and it belongs to his
ownership. ” The caliph of Muslims was given him that chain
armour and one horse to him. In that meeting one disciple came
and he said there was born one boy in his House. Khaja Sahib
asked him “What name he was given him.? He said “ Khair it
means no name was given.” He said “ To give his name as
892
Khair., ”
After that, he told this story that “ Khaja Nissaj once he left
for the city than Bedouin caught him and told him you are my
slave. Khaja Nissaj did not say anything in this matter, but he
accepted this and for a long period of time he was at his house.
That Bedouin had one garden in which he was working as a
gardener there. Over long time that Bedouim came to his garden
and he was asked Khaja Sahib to bring one sweet pomegranate.
Khaja Sahib brought one pomegranate to him when he was
tested and it was found sour, then he told him to bring sweet
pomegranate. Khaja Sahib was brought one another
pomegranate and it was also sour. The owner of the garden told
him “ He was, asked him to bring sweet pomegranate but he was
brought sour pomegranate. Khaja Sahib told him that “He do not
know which pomegranate is sweet or sour.” He told him that “
You were a gardener in my garden for a long period of time but
you could not distinguish between sweet or sour pomegranate.
Khaja Sahib told him “ He is a gardener and custodian and so he
does not taste pomegranates to know about sweet or Sour. ”
When the owner of the garden knew this then he was freed Him.
The name of Khaja Nissaj was different before this event, but
his owner was given his name as Khair. But when Khaja Nissaj
was freed when he said that his name will be as per name given
by that person.
On the Saturday of the 26th Rajab month in the Hijira year
718, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. In my
mind, there was one saying of the prophet. So I asked about it.
The saying is as follows. “Zargan Tazdu Haban”.
I asked is this saying of the prophet.? He said “Yes, he has
said this to Abu Hurara that“ To be present with absence so
893
that there will be more friendship”, because he was always used

to be present in the service of the prophet. Khaja Sahib said, “
Its meaning is that to be present one day and to come after
absent for one day is called Zargban.”
After that, the discussion about such Darvish person was
started who is involved with their family members. He was said
to observe patience on three occasions as follows.
1. Al-Saber Anhan
2. Al-Saber al-Aihan
3. Al-Saber al-Annar
Then he said first to be patient from women. So there should
be no involvement in the attraction of the women completed and
this patient is best and it is called Al-Saber Anhan. The meaning
of Al-Saber Al-Aihan is that if there is will be no women then
purchase a slave girl and then, for this reason, there will be
difficulties and for them, there should be patience. Now
remaining Al-Saber Al-Annar and its meaning is that if he will
be passed from these conditions and if he will commit any
mistake then it is called Al-Saber al-Annar. So there are three
kinds of the patience are there which are mentioned as above.
The discussion about Moulana Noor Turk
On Tuesday of the 13th Shaban in the Hijira year 718, I was
sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. The discussion
of Moulana Noor Turk was started., I am told: “Some learned
persons said something about his religion.?” He said “No, the
water which is falling in the rain from the sky and which will be
more pure. ” Then I told “ I was seen written in Tabqat Naseri
in which it is written about learned persons of Islamic law as
Naji (delivered of sins) and Maragi. He said “ He has to
prejudice of the learned persons of the city so for this reason he
894
will look for them in the pollution of the world as polluted. And
for this reason the learned person are also associated him with
these things. Then I asked him Marji and Naji, who Are.? He
said “ There are two types of Naji persons are as follows.
1.Rafzi (a Shi’ite dissenting sect) is called Marji and Marji are
those people who keep hope from every place.
2.Then he said “ There are two types of Naji persons and one is
Khalis and other is Ghair Khalis. Khalis are those who only
mention about mercy only and Naji Ghair Khalis are those
people who say about mercy and they say also about punishment
and religion.”
After that discussion of Moulana Noor Turk was started and
he said “ He was spent with the life of poverty, but he never
spread his hand before any person. Whatever he will say as per
his knowledge and with the power of the endeavours and there
was one slave of him who used to give one Dirham daily to him
and this was his cause of sustenance. ”
Then he said “ When he was reached to Makkah when he was
settled down there. One person in that country visited him and
who was given two kilos rice to him. He was praying. One time
Queen of India Razia Sultana was sent some gold in his service.
He took one wooden stick and was began beating the gold and
he said what is this and take it away. When that person gave him
two kilogram rice, then he was taken from it. Then there was an
idea came into the mind of that person that it may be this is the
same pious person who refused very much quantity of gold in
Delhi and now he accepts two kilograms of rice. ” Moulana
Turk said “ Do not think Makkah same like Delhi. Also, he was
young in those days and now such power and fastness do not
remain in him and now he became older and grain of this place
895
is dearer to him.”
Later he said once Moulana Turk gave a sermon in Hansi. He
was heard with the holy tongue of Sheikh Fariduddin and he
said that he was heard many times his discourses. When he
reached into Hansi than he wanted to hear his sermon there. I
was wearing torn colorful old clothes at that time. I never met
him. When I entered into the mosque, then looked at me and he
said “ Oh: Muslims: Now a person of speech came and he
praised me very much that even he did not praise for the king.”
Then discussion about writing charm and giving it was
started “Sheikh Fariduddin was told in the service of Sheikh
Qutubuddin that people want about charm from him and what do
you say about it. Did we write and give it to them or not?? ”
Sheikh Qutubuddin said “ This work is not in your hand or in
my hand.? Talisman is the name of Allah and His Kalam
(verse). Write and give it.”
Afterward Khaja Sahib said “ In his mind, there was came
into an idea many times to ask permission in writing and giving
talisman. Once Badruddin Ishaq, who used to write a talisman
for him was not present there and people came there to take
talisman. So he ordered me to write. I started writing talisman.
There was very much rush of the people. So I should have to
write so many charms and there was pressure of the persons.
During this time Sheikh Sahib addressed me and told “Are you
dejected.” It told him “Your honor knows well in this matter.”
He told me “ I will give you permission to give talisman. ” After
that, he said that “ Even there is an effect of the touch of hand of
the pious persons. ”
The coming with the empty hands
On Tuesday of the 11th Ramazan in the Hijira year 718, I
896
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. Whoever

will be present in the service of the Sheikh then who will bring
something as a present. One person who could not bring
anything and when at the time he was leaving from there, then
Khaja Sahib told that he should be given something.
After, that he told “ Sheikh Fariduddin, used to say those who
will come to see him then they will bring something for him. If
any poor person will come and who will not bring anything, then
I must give him something to him. ”
Then he said “ When the companions of the prophet used to
present in the service of the prophet for the sake of the
knowledge and orders of Islamic law and when they will use to
return back from there and they guide the persons. At the time of
returning back unless they did not eat anything they will not
return back from there.”
Later he said “ Once Ali Ben Ali Taleb (R.A.) was saying in
his sermon that he did not remember that the Prophet of Allah
did not keep anything in the evening time. From morning to
afternoon, whatever will be available which will be given by
him. Later from afternoon to evening, whatever will be there and
all such things will be given by him.”
Afterward, that I asked “ What is the meaning of Israf.? What
are its limits? ” He said “ Which is given without intention and
not given for the sake of Allah. If one Dirham will be spent
without intention and not in the way of Allah, then it is called
Israf and for the willingness of Allah the whole world will be
given then it is not called Israf.”
Afterward, he said “ The expenditure of Sheikh Abu Saeed
Abul Khair was very much. One person recited the saying of the
prophet, which is as follows.
897
“ La Khair Fe Asraf”
He was replied that “ La Khair Fe Asraf” and it means good
deed and charity (Khairat) are not called Israf.
From here the discussion about courage was started. He said
“ There are different kinds of courage. There was one pious
person, and who had one son and he had one slave with him. But
the slave was a very pious person. He calls both of them and he
has asked first with his son what is the work of his courage
wants to do.? He told “ He wants with him many of the slaves
and horses.” Then he asked with slave. He told that “ Whatever
number of slaves he would possess with him that he wants to
release and he wants to make grateful to him those persons who
are free from him. ” He said “ Some persons required the world
and some persons want the world should not come near to them
and among them those persons are good who will get the world
and if they will not get world they feel good for them. They are
happy in the both conditions. ” The man who will say that the
world should not be with him and then his desire is also called
his inclination. It is required and it is just that there should be the
desired of willingness of Allah and on this he should be happy
and agrees in this matter. If he will get the world, then spend it.
If not, get world, then one should be patient and be happy.
During this time he asked “Whether I used to give Sadqa Fitr
(charity prescribed for Eid el-Fitr.? ”. I told “ It is expedient for
me and I use to give it. ” He said “If Nesab (minimum taxing the
income for purpose of Zakat) is complete and necessities like
garments, horses and also completion of Nisab of cash then it
should be given. ” I told him that “There is no cash with me. ” In
this condition he did not say anything., After that, he said “ Now
you have so much with you.” “And in those days when I do not
898
have even penny with me than even also I would use to give
each and every Dam (a small coin now out of use). When I
heard this that the fasting of Ramadan are depend on the Sadqa
al- Fitr, then I began giving Sadqa (charity).” I paid respect and I
told him that “ I agreed it and now I will pay Sadqa al-Fitr.” He
told “ To give your charity as well as for your younger ones.”
I told him that “ When he was in Devgir then at that time my
old servant Malih was purchased one slave girl and she was
younger one and her cost was five coins of Tinga and when he
was returning back to cantonment from there to the city, then he
was found weeping of the parents of the slave girl and they
requested him greatly in this matter and they asked him to take
ten Tinga and returned back their daughter to them. There were
feelings of kindness on him upon seeing the condition of the
girl’s parents and I have given ten Tinga to Malih and was
purchased that girl and returned back the girl to them and also I
have given back their ten Tinga. I told him “ What do you say in
this matter. ” He said “You did a good deed. ” After that I said
him that “ When he was doing such work, then I have followed
the action of Moulana Alauddin and such story I was heard by
your honour. ” Khaja Sahib told “Yes, in this way Moulana
Alauddin had one old slave woman and which was purchased by
him recently. At the morning time when Moulana was woken up
when she was grinding the flour in the mill and she was
weeping. Moulana asked her reason for this matter. Then she
said that “She had her son in Sanbhar and due to the separation
of the son she is weeping. ” Moulana told “ If I will leave up to
the mosque, then can she go towards her village. ” She said “
Yes, she will go. ” He left her at the place of the mosque and he
was giving her some breads. When he told this story. Then one
learned person came into his service. He said “When the Prophet
899
of Allah captured daughter of Hatim Tai in the battle than his

daughter described the qualities of Hatim Tai and upon hearing
them he was released her.”
After that Khaja Sahib said, “ The service of the body,
financial or manners if, the man will do then with them if any
one of the above service is accepted and for its sake all of the
work will be completed.”
Then he said “ The lock of felicity is having many keys and
it is not known from which key it will be opened. So it should be
trying to open with all keys. If it will not be opened with one
key, then it will be opened with another key. If it is not opened
with that key perhaps it will be opened with another key.”
Taking care of the ablution
On Saturday of the 21th Ramadan in the Hijira year 718, I
was sanctified to the touch feet of the Sheikh Sahib. The
discussion about taking care of ablution was started and he said
“ There should be taken very much care in this matter that there
should be satisfaction in the mind. Some persons have counted
on some measures. Some persons count it many times. But this
is not correct. ” Then he said, “ Maulana says the matter is not
concerned with the place, but it is linked with the time. Those
who count some measures which are not correct. It is better in
this matter that when there will be the satisfaction of the mind.”
After that, the discussion about this matter was stated that “
If there will be complaining of drops of urine or navel or any
such type of illness than what he can do.?” He said “ One
woman told in the service of the Prophet of Allah that there is a
complaint of discharge of blood to her. The Prophet of Allah
said, “ For every prayer to do ablution whether at the time of
performing prayer there will be a discharge of blood on the
900
prayer mat.”
Then the discussion about prayer and attention was started. I
told “ It was heard that Sheikh Fariduddin where he used to sit
and at that place he was used to the prostrating number of times
other than prayer. ” He said, “ It is right”.
Afterward he said that “ Once Sheikh is sitting in the room
and the door to the room is closed and I have seen that he was
repeatedly standing and going into the prostration and he was
repeating Persian couplet.”
Later he said about his death that “ To him on 5th Muherram
there was overpowering of illness. He performed Eisha (night
prayer) prayer in congregation. After that, he became un-
conscious. When he became normal when he was asked whether
he was performing Eisha prayer.? It was told that “ He was
performed already. ” He said “One more time he wants to
perform it and who knows what will happen the next day?. ”
Then he was performing Eisha prayer again and he was
becoming more un-conscious than before and when he became
the normal. Then he was asked whether he was performing
prayer.? The people said “ Yes, two times. ” He said “One more
time he will perform and who's know what will be happening on
the next day?. ” When he has performed prayer three times, then
at that time he has left this world.”
The discussion about servants
On the Sunday of the 13th Zeqad in the year Hijira year 718,
I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib.
The discussion about working persons was started and also
there was discussion about the servants. He told with his holy
tongue that “ To be kept away from giving work and doing
901
employment, so that in the other world there will available

safety.” After that, he told one story that “ In the olden day there
was one person and his name was Hameed and who used to live
in Delhi. He was the servant of one person who was the son of a
conqueror and at last who was declared himself as the king of
Lucknow. In short Hameed was servant of that person. And he
was used to live always in his service. One day he was standing
near that person then one person who told him “ Oh: Hameed
why you have stood there with that man.? ” Upon saying this
that person was vanished away from there. Khaja Hameed was
surprised that, what was this happened. Second time, when he
was standing with his boy then he was seen me and he said
again “ Oh: Hameed why you are standing with that person.? ”
He was surprised. Even it was happening in third time. At that
time Khaja Hameed told “ Why he did not stand as he is his
servant. And he is my master and he used to give his salary. So
why I did not stand with Him?. ” He said “ You are a learned
person and he is illiterate and you are independent and he is your
slave and you are pious person and he is a sinner and by saying
this he was vanished away from there. ” Khaja Hameed checked
in this matter when he went to see the king and told him “ To
settle his account. I will not do your job next time. ” The king
said, “ How you are talking. Or have you gone mad?”. Khaja
Sahib replied him that “ He is not a mad person, but he will not
do his job and he got content with him. ” When Khaja Sahib was
reached on this point than I was asked him “ Perhaps that shape
of that person belongs to a person of the invisible. ” He said
“No.”, when the man’s innermost will be clear from ill-will then
such type of the shapes used to be seen many times. It will be
happening to all persons. But some persons due to their internal
ill-will they will not be seen such shapes. But when innermost
902
will be clear then such shapes will be seen.”

After that, the discussion about that Khaja Hameed “ He said
when left the job of the king when he was becoming a disciple
of Sheikh Fariduddin. I have seen that he was a very able
person. Some time he was used to give sermons. He was straight
in the condition of Darvish, and he was very careful in
obedience. Then Sheikh Fariduddin was, asked him to live in
such and such village because he is becoming like star and star
against the moon will not be shiny. When Khaja Hameed was
heard this than he was, agreed in this matter. But in that night,
seven persons decided to go on the Hajj pilgrimage. Khaja
Hameed came into the service of Sheikh Fariduddin and he said
“ He is following his order as you have ordered me to go to such
and such village and which is seen by me many times. But I
want to go on the Hajj pilgrimage as his friends are going to
Makkah for Hajj pilgrimage so you grant permission in this
matter so that he can perform the Hajj and come back from there
with them.” Sheikh Sahib told him “To go.” In short, he went to
the Hajj pilgrimage along with them and he got the wealth of
pilgrimage and but, while he was returning back from Makkah
he was dying on the Way.”
One young man became his disciple on that day and it may
be perhaps in those days somebody was causing him difficulty,
so for this reason he was told one couplet in the Persian
language.
The firmness on the repentance and on the pledge
On Monday of the 21th Zeqad in the Hijira year 718, I was
about firmness on the repentance and pledge was started. He
told of his holy tongue that “ One who hold the hand of the
903
master and pledge, then he is such person who pledge to Allah.

So for this reason he should be firmly on this. If there will be no
firmness than what is the necessity of pledging and he should
live as it is.”
After that, he said “ When he was a disciple of Sheikh
Fariduddin then while returning back from there was over
powering of thirsting. There was blowing off the hot wind and
the water was very far away. During this time, I have seen one
Alawi (one descendent of Hadrat Ali (R.A.) who was known to
me. He was known as Syed Emaduddin. He was a man of
cheerfulness. When he reached near him and asked him the
place of water anywhere. Because he was feeling a severe need
for liquids. There was one water skin. He told that “ I came for
the good occasion. To open this water-skin and drink. Perhaps in
that water-skiing, there is wine. “ I came to know this by the
hint,” I told him “ I never drink It. ” He told “ In the nearby area
there is no water available. I have carried it because water is not
available there. He said “In the far away ahead from here also
there is no water available. If you did not drink it, then you will
be killed by thirsty. ” I told “ Gentleman it will be happening
that I will die. ” Upon saying this, I was proceeding further from
there. And, after reaching some distance, I was reached at the
bank of the water spot.”
After that, he told this story that Khaja Hameed Swali who
was a disciple of Sheikh Moinuddin and he was possessed
equality of status of saintly dress of Sheikh Qutubuddin. When
he was getting the saintly dress than his relatives came and ask
him to go so to spend a life of pleasure. Khaja Hameed told
them that “ Now this thing will not be happening.” They have
insisted him then he told them “ To go and sit in the corner
904
because the trouser-string I have tightened so hardly as such that

on the day of judgment that even Houries will not open it.”
The fasting on the Tashreeq days
On Monday on the 11th Zil-Hajj in the Hijira year 718, I was
sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. I told him
“During this month of the 13th date fasting is kept. So what is
the position of the days of Tashriq (one of the meanings of
Tashreeq is 'meat drying', since pilgrims probably used to
slaughter their sacrifices and dry the extra meat for use later.
These are the 11th-12th-13th days of Dhul-Hijjah (month of
pilgrimage) and whether to keep fasting on the 16th of this
month.? ” He said Imam Shafei was said to keep fasting on 14 th,
15th and 16th of the Zil Hajj month. So we should keep fasting
on the above dates. Fasting of Baiz days (13th, 14th and 15th
days of a lunar month) should be kept. But in this month, fasting
on the 16th date due to coincidence. ” During this period meals
was brought and in which cooked rice was also there. I told him
“Whether rice is for him” and which it is there in saying of the
prophet. ” He said it was happening that “ Once the companions
want to provide meals. Every person agreed to bring one dish.
Somebody told he will bring meat. The other said he will bring
sweet dish. In this way the Prophet of Allah said he will bring
rice.”
The washing of the hands after eating of the meals
On Monday on the 2th Zil-Hajj in the Hijira year 718, I was
sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. Meals were
brought. After eating of the meals was over then tray and jug
was brought there for the purpose of washing of the hands. In
Arabia, after eating of meals jug and the tray will use to bring
there. So it is called “Abu Elyas” it means the father of
905
hopelessness because after going away from the tray and jug
there will be not bringing of the meals. For cheerfulness, he said
in India betel-leaf works as “Abu Elyas”. And after it, no meals
will not bring there. After that, he said “ In Arabia there is no
custom of betel-leaf there. So, for this reason, jug and tray are
called “Abu Elays”. Then he said “ Salt is called as “Abul
Fatah.”
The custom of eating of the meals
On Monday of the 27th Zil-Hajj in the Hijira year 718, I was
about the eating of meals was started. He said “ There is saying
of the prophet that the meals should be given for eaten and
which should be pure and the person who is given for eating he
should be pious. After that, he said that “ It is possible to know
that meals will be pure but it is not known to the person who
eats meals are pious or not? And it is very difficult. Suppose the
food was brought to ten persons and know how it is found that
such and such person is pious or not.? “ Then he said that “ In
the book of Mashariq there is one saying of the prophet in
which there are many hopes in it. In which it is mentioned that
to give meals to such person, whether he is known or un-
known.”
After that, he told this story that “ In Badayun there was one
person who used to observe fasting always. At the time of the
breaking of the fast he used to sit at the door of his house and
slaves used to bring meals and whoever pass from there than he
will use to call him inside and give him meals for eating.”
Then he told the story of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) that “He
used to eat meals with guests. One day one infidel became his
guest. When he was seen that strange person so he has not given
906
him meals. Then at that time, there was a command of Allah

came there which is as follows.
“ Oh: Ibrahim we have given his life and you are not giving him
bread.”
After that, he told this story that “ Before this he was in one
city. Once some Darvish persons came to see Sheikh Bahuddin
from the bazaar. Among them Saeed Qureshi, Ali Khokri and
his dependents were also there. The meeting was very good. The
meals were brought and all were begun eating meals with
fondness. In my neighborhood, there was one person and who is
called there as Ashraf Piyada. He came there and he began
eating meals. Ashraf Piyada has braid on his head. Those
persons did not like this and they did not like to eat with him.
Saeed Qureshi went out of the meeting place. Khaja Sahib said
“ He was surprised what has happened to them that they left
eating of meals and went out from there. I asked him what is
reason in this matter.? ” Then he said “ That a person who is
eating meals with them is having braid on his head. ” Khaja
Sahib said “ He was laughing that where it is written that not to
eat meals with the person of braid on his head.? This is a strange
kind of hate and prohibition. ” At that time I told that “ I have
seen Saeed Qureshi. Usually we have been together in many
places. When I was seeing him, then this thing is not found in
him. He said “It is due to misfortune in excess of the demands
he was involved in such things. ”
Afterward that discussion about accession was started. One
friend who was present at the meeting asked how it was
happening.?. He said “ From Makkah to the Dome of the rock
and it is called Asra (night journey) and from the Dome of the
rock to first sky is called ascension and from the first sky to the
907
place of Qaba Qausain (quite close) and ascension was up to

there. Then that friend asked “ It is said there was accession to
the heart and also to Qaleb (body) and also to the soul and how
it is possible at all.?. Khaja Sahib told him “ To keep good hope
and do not ask ascertained. To believe in these things and but do
not do for ascertaining and investigation.”
Khaja Sahib recited two couplets in which there was
description of somebody who has seen one person along with his
beloved and wine and its meaning and interpretation of two
couplets are as follows.
“The beloved came to me in the night dress while going into
hiding and there was a condition of fear, danger and dread was
prevailed upon my dear personality.”
“So whatever which was there I will not reveal so keep good
hope and do not ask for really.”
On Monday of the 18th Muharram in the Hegira year 719, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. On that day,
I was coming back from Badayun. The discussion started with
the pious persons who are buried around that city. I told him “ I
was seen comforting in that city. Which is only available during
the visit of the graves of pious persons there. Like Moulana
Alauddin Asuli’s father Moulana Sirjuddin Tarmazi, Khaja
Mooitab, Khaja Aziz Kotwal, Khaja Shai Lucknowai and Khaja
Qazi Jamal Multani and when I mentioned these names of pious
persons than he was weeping. And he also mentioned the names
of all these pious persons well. When there I said “ About Qazi
Jamal when he said once that pious person was seen in his
dream that the Prophet of Allah was doing ablution in the
vicinity of Badayun. So he immediately went to that place and
he finds the place wet and he said that he should bury there
908
when he was dead then his grave was constructed at that place.”
The excellence of fasting
On Monday of the 18th Muharram in the Hijira year 719, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. The
discussion about the excellence of fasting was started. Also,
there was a discussion about saying of the Prophet of Allah that
there is double joy is available. One at the time of breaking fast
and second at the time of sighting of Allah. And he said “Eating
of meals and drinks is not comfortable and but which is
available at the ending time of breaking of fast. And all praise to
Allah, this sincerity is ended with me. Now I am looking for a
meeting of Allah. Indeed, every fast keeper will hope for grace
at the meeting of Allah.” Then a discussion about this saying of
the prophet was started that “ Fasting is for me and I will give
you a reward for it. ” One person from the audience said that he
was heard this saying like this.
“Al-Saum let Dana Ajhi Bahi.’
Khaja Sahib smiled and he said “ It is as follows.
“Al-Saum let Dana Ajri Lahu ” and he has corrected it “ Ana
Ajri LaHuh. ” And he said Bahi came in the place of the Lam
alphabet of the Arabic language.”
Then he said “About the word patient written in meaning of
imprisonment as the prophet of Allah said, “ As-Saber wa-Absar
Wa-Qatlu al-Muqatil” and then he said this saying of the
Prophet was happening like that in the days of prophet one
person took his sword in his hand and followed another person
and that person was running away and on the way one third
person caught the person who was running and the first person
came there and he killed him with sword. When this matter was
909
reached before the Prophet of Allah, he said to imprison the

person who caught the person and who killed the person should
be killed. This order was said in the below phrase.
“ As-Saber was-Saber Aqtal al-Qatal.”
After that discussion started about that “ Prophet of Allah
said many times that if any person will do such work, then he
will be along with him in the paradise. ” At the time of saying
this saying, he was shown the sign of two fingers. One was
forefinger and another was forefinger of the witness. Khaja
Sahib said “ It was a degree of status, that our status will be like
that. For this reason, these forefingers of general person will not
be same, but the forefingers of the Prophet of Allah were equal
in size.”
The discussion about modesty and repentance
On the Sunday of the 8th of the Safar month in the Hijira
year 719, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib.
The discussion about modesty and repentance was started. He
said Abdulla Ansari told “ Favour is there for two things and
which are as follows. That either in the beginning modesty will
be there or in the last three should be done in repentance.” From
here, the discussion about repentance was started. He said “
Pious person is such who should not be polluted from pollution.
And a repentant person is such who has done sins then he has
repented of it. In this matter, different persons are holding
different opinions. Some say repentant is good and some say
pious person is good. Some say both are good persons. The logic
of the first persons is that as repent is one who had tested sins.
And the person who had the taste and flavor of sin than he
repented so such person is better than who did not touch it. Then
for the correctness of this matter, he told this story that “ Once
910
there was an argument in between two persons on this matter.

One was saying that repented person was good and another was
saying that no pious (Mutaqi) is good. At last both of them, we
went to the Prophet of Allah and they have demanded logic in
this matter. He told them that “ He did not able to decide on this
matter and he is waiting for the revelation and whatever will be
a command which I will inform you.” During that time
revelation was coming down that they should be informed that
and now they should go from there and spend the night and
wake up in the early time of the morning and asked the first
person in this matter. So they left from there and wake up in the
morning and asked the first person in this matter. That person
said, “ Brother, I am not a learned person and I am a weaver so
how he will solve this problem.? But yes, he knows such that
when I will weave the cloth, then the string will be broken I will
join the same and this string is strong then that string which is
not broken. ” Then they went into the service of the Prophet of
Allah and they told him all the details on this matter. The
prophet said that “ This is your reply it means repentant is better
than pious person.”
Then discussion about the world started and also about the
persons who became proud in this matter. Then he told this story
“ Once Prophet Eisa (A.S.) was seen one woman. Who was old
and in black color and who was in worse shape. He asked her “
Who are you.? ” She said “ She is the world. ” Prophet Eisa
(A.S.) asked her “ How many husbands with them she was
married. ” She said “ Many and lots of them are there. If there
are limited then she can be able to mention.” Then he said “ In
those husbands how many of them have been divorced at her.?
”She said, “ She was killed all of them.”
911
After that, he said “Mendicancy (Darweshi) is exactly

comfortable. The work’s result is only that mendicancy and in
which there will be starvation in the night and which is his
accession.”
Then the discussion of wealthy persons was started who love
their wealth and properties. So he said “ One person, told in the
service of Sheikh Fariduddin that in the olden days one Dervish
had lots of wealth and properties with him. But he used to say
that he did not have permission to spend it. Sheikh Fariduddin
smiled and said it is his excuse. Then he said, “If that Sheikh
will appoint him the representative of the wealth and properties,
then he will spend all his treasury within the time of three days
and even one Dirham he will not leave there. ”
After that discussion started about that giver is Allah. When
Allah will give anything to anybody then who will prohibit him.
In this connection, he said this story that “Sultan Shamsuddin
was constructed one ground in which he used to play Polo game
there in which two doors were there. While playing he was
reached near at one gate and he was seen one old man was
standing there and that old man asked for something from him,
but he did not give him anything. When he reached at the other
gate and he was seen one well built person was there and the
king gives money out of his purse to him without asking for that
young man. And he said “ He did not give to the person who
was asked to give money to him. But one who did not ask and to
him he was given money and in this matter his willingness is not
there but there is a willingness of Allah. If there is his
willingness than he would have given something to the old man.
” Also at one time some mangoes were brought before Sultan
Shamsuddin which are available in the best quality in mangoes.
912
When he was eating and he asked the name of the fruit.? And he
was told “ It is called Anab perhaps in your language of Turkey
its meaning is bad. ” So he said do not say it Anab but say it
Naqzak. After, that the name of mango was known as Naqzak.”
Then he told this story that Sultan Shamsuddin was seen
Sheikh Bahuddin Saherwardi and Sheikh Ohud Kirmani. One of
them told him that he will become king.
After that, the discussion about leaving of the world was
started and he said “ There was one person named Sufi Badhani
was used to live there in Keithal and who a man of high level
leaver of the world. Even he was not used to be covered, his
body with clothes. Then he said “ If any person will not eat such
quantity of the meals which will not stop him from starvation
then he will be dead. And so for this reason he will be given
punishment. In the same way, if any person who will not be
covered dress from navel to knee, then he will be also given
punishment. But he will be away from this.”
Then he said about Sheikh Fariduddin that “ He was left the
world such that whatever he will receive then he will use to
spend all such things and it will be such that when he was dying
then there was nothing with him for funeral rites and
ceremonies. So far, the grave some bricks were required, but it
was not possible and for this reason door of the house was
demolished, which was made of wet bricks and which were used
in his grave.”
The kings who had a fondness of hearing the poetry
On Monday of the 28th Rabbil Awwal month in the Hijira
The discussion about the kings was started who had a fondness
of hearing the poetry. He said “ Sultan Shamsuddin was given
913
once the general permission of poetry recitation. At that time

poet Nasiri was reciting one couplet and at that time Sultan was
busy with some other work and by that time Nasiri was
completed the recitation of that couplet. Then the king wanted to
hear that couplet and asked him to recite it again. The poet
recited the couplet. The king asks to recite the poem from
where he was discontinued his recitation. So in his memory was
very strong. Due to so much engaged in the work he can
remember the first line of the couplet.”
After that, he said “ About his belief that he used to wake
during the nights, but he could not disturb other for his service.”
About Sahri (pre-dawn meal for fasting month)
On Wednesday the first of Rabbil Awwal in the 718 Hijira
year , I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. The
discussion about fasting and Sahri was started. He said “One
person asked with Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi that `one person
eats Sahri meals, but he does not keep fasting. What is order in
this matter.”? He said “ To eat Sahri meals and meals at the
evening time and at breakfast time also and it is necessary and
with this food there will be available strength and which should
be used in the worship of Allah and do not commit sins. “As per
Quranic verse “Kulu Ashrabu Min Riziq Allah Min Alteyabat
Wamlu Salehan”, the people of the cave said best pure meal and
what was their aim in this matter.? “ He said “ That meal in
which there will be a likeness towards it. Again he said as per
saying of some persons this meal is referred as rice.”
On the Sunday of the 12th Jamad Awwal in the Hijira year
718, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. The
discussion was started about such persons who are always busy
in the worship of Allah.
914
After that, he told this story that “ One person requested one
pious Dervish that when he will engage in the worship of Allah
then he should remember him at that time and to pray in his
favour. ” He said, “ It is regret for that time when you will be
remembered by him in that time.”
Then the discussion about Khaja Aziz Karki was started and
he said that “ He was buried in Badayun and about his life there
is a very much exaggeration is available so I told him that “ He
used to swallow live birds and then he used to bring out them
live bird one by one from his mouth. ” Khaja Sahib said, “He
was not seen, but he was heard.” It is said that in the winter
season he used to sit in the hot oven and he will come out of
there in the morning time. He was a person from Kirk region. In
the beginning, he used to sell turquoise which is used in jewelry
which is worn by the women and with this work also he used to
be engaged in the worship of Allah. The local ruler has given
him difficulty and imprisoned him. When the local ruler was
told that “ This young person is pious one so he should be being
released by him”. When he was asked that “ The local ruler was
released him so he should come out of the prison. ” Then he told
that “ Till he will not destroy this family, he will not come out
from there. ” In short, when there was severe difficulty on the
local ruler when he came out from the prison.”
The journey and visit of Ka’aba
On the Sunday of the 23th Jamad Awwal in the Hijira year
discussion about the visit of Ka’aba was started. He said “ When
people used to come back from the visit of Ka’aba then used to
tell so much about it at every place and mostly they will engage
in its remembrance. And this is not good. One person among the
915
audience is told that “ On the way of Hajj pilgrimage some time

there will be lapses of the prayer timings due to the water
shortage and due to the difficulty of the journey to the
destinations.” Then Khaja Sahib told this story that in Suhader
there was one preacher and he used to preach and give advises
after praying so, for this reason, there will be a good effect on
the people. And when he was come back from Hajj pilgrimage
than there was no more such effect of previous time. When he
asked the reason in this matter than he told that yes, he knows
its only reason for which there will be no effect of his preaching
and advises, because on the way of Hajj pilgrimage some time
there will be a lapse of the prayers.”
About the master and disciple
On Thursday of the 7th of the Rajab month in the Hijira year
discussion about master and disciple was started. He said “ The
master should not keep any kind of greed from disciple”. And
then he told this story that “One disciple was brought meals in
the service of the Master. But the Master did not take from him
and he has returned back it. One person asked him “Why he did
return it.”? He said “ As the master is not be needy in the works
of the religion and in the same way he is not standing in need of
the disciple in the works of the World.”
Then a discussion about that disciples who used to be present

in the service of the Sheikh and perform prostration there. So he
said that “ He wants to prohibit his persons doing such thing, but
my Sheikh did not prohibit me and so he did not also prohibit in
this matter”. Then I said that “ Those who will become the
disciple and its meaning is love and affection of the master and
916
where there are love and affection of the master are there so to
put the head there in prostration is not a great thing.”
Khaja Sahib said “ He was heard by Sheikh Fariduddin that
once Sheikh Abul Khair was going on the horse. One disciple
came on foot and he was kissing the knee of the Sheikh. Then
Sheikh Sahib told him “ Some little down. So the disciple kissed
the foot. Then Sheikh Sahib told him again “Some little down. ”
So the disciple kissed the hoof of the horse. Then Sheikh Sahib
told him again “Some little down”. So the disciple kissed on the
earth. Then Sheikh Sahib told him that “ I used to tell you many
times this and its meaning was not to kiss him, but it was that
there will be an increase of your status.”
The caliphs of Sheikh Fariuddin
Then a discussion about those Darwish persons was started
who were caliphs of Sheikh Fariduddin. He told with his holy
tongue that “ Among those Darwish persons he was sent one
Darvish and whose name was Arif to Sewastan and he was
given permission of the pledges. He was in the lead into Oucha
and Multan areas. In short the local ruler was given 100 Dinars
in his hand for giving in the service of Sheikh Fariduddin. Out
of 100 Dinars he kept with him 50 Dinars and 50 dinars he was
given to Sheikh Sahib. Sheikh Sahib was smiling and he said “
You have done brotherly distribution”. Then Airf was regret in
this matter and he was given his 50 Dinars which he kept for
himself. He was regretting very much in this matter and
requested to pledge. He was accepted on his pledge and Arif was
shaving his head., After that, he became perfected in the service
that he has obtained full firmness. At last Sheikh Sahib was
giving him permission and send him towards Sewastan.”
The discussion about good persons
917
On Monday of the 23rd of the Rajab month in the Hegira year

discussion about doubt, pride and the persons of pride was
started. He said “ When it was asked by Aisha Siddiqa (R.A.)
when the man will become bad.?” She said “ When the man will
think himself good. ” Then he told this story that poet Farzuq
met Hasan of Basra, one time.Then Khaja Sahib asked him, “ It
is not known who is the best person and who is a bad person
among all men and this matter is known by Allah.? ” Farzuq
said “ Among men, you are best man. And he himself is bad
One. ” When Farzuq was dying and when I saw him in his
dream and asked him “ What treatment was there with you.? ”
Farzuq said “ When then they took me to the chair of fate than
he was afraid there and there was an order to him that he was
forgiven on that day when you have to think about yourself
bad.”
The discussion about construction of the old grave

There was an idea came to my mind that if the grave will
become old then whether it is permissible for construction or
not.? When it was told by me then he said “ It should not be
done. One who will be in such level of hopeful condition then
there will be such level of problem which will be coming down
to him.”
Then a discussion of pious persons was started about those
who bury themselves at the foot side of the grave. He said “ In
Badayun there was one pious person Moulana Siraj Tarmazi
used to live there. When he was visited Makkah then he was
determined that if he will die there, then he will he bury there.
When he came back from there and came to visit Badayun, then
918
the people told him that “ You went there with the intention that
you will bury there.” He said “ Yes, but he was seen one night
dream that from surroundings funerals are being come there and
in which funerals of men were there and those funerals were
being buried in Makkah and those who are already buried there
were being taken back to other places. I was asked “ What is
conditional in this matter.? ” It said “ If in the person in which
there will have eligibility and if he is far away then they are
being buried here. Those who do not have eligibility of place if
they have buried here, then they will be shifted to another place.
Moulana Sirajuddin said, “ When he was come to know this
when he was coming back to Badayun because if he will be
eligible for that place than if Allah wills then I will get my
purpose.”
From that day when there was advice of these phrases to till
this day a period of 12 years was passed away. This is wealth
for 12 years and its each cup is comprising of 12 months and
which is presented before the personality of highest knowledge
of mystical experience of time and with the hope that the coins
of hearts will have stamp of faith and polish it and it will keep
away from the perfect cunning Satan and there will be full
popularity of it.
The End.

life so that there will be benefits of the Muslims. And due to his
presence there is a possibility of the knotting of belief in the
thread of mystic initiation.
Slave Hasan Ali Sanjari doing beginning and mention that
when there is divine help from the beginning, which became his
friend of the condition and felicity up to ending, which helped
my timing and revelation of nature was guided of my thinking
and I was collected phrases of the soulfulness of Sheikh
Nizamuddin Auliya. Before this, I have written one volume of

writing of the second volume is launched. May Allah grants him

soul, explainer, listeners, writer.
One who loves knowledge and persons of knowledge
On the Saturday of 21 the Shaban month in the Hijira year
719, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh Sahib. In my
mind, there was thought about saying of the Prophet of Allah
that “ One who loves knowledge and persons of knowledge then
his sins are not recorded ”. I was asked him “ About this saying
of the prophet that my sins will not be recorded as per this
saying of the prophet. ” He said “ To follow true love and when
one who will be a lover of anybody then he should follow him
and he should be away from un-decent acts. When there will be
such condition than his sins will not be recorded. ”
Then he said again that “ When there will love of Allah will
be there on the cover of heart, then there will no possibility of
doing sins will be there. But it will come from the surrounding
of the heart, then it will not be possible to commit sins. Then he
said it is good repentance in the period of youth. What is benefit
of repentance in the old-age.?”
After that, he said “ Allah will ask the slave about his youth
period. ” By this time one learned person came there and put his
head on his feet. And he said “ He came there to become his
disciple. And the reason for it is that once he was praying for
Magharib (sunset) prayer at the bank of river at Afghanpur and
he was seen in his pure face there. I was surprised first that he
was not seen this face before. In short when he was seen him,
then he lies in a state of mess in the prayer and at last when I
was free from prayer, then my mind told me that to go in the
service of the master of the world and to become his disciple
there.”
922
So now he came for this purpose, here. When he told this

story, then Khaja Sahib told that “ One time one person departed
from Delhi so that to go in the service of Sheikh Fariduddin in
Ajodhan for repentance there. During the journey, one prostitute
woman was accompanied with him. Who was thinking that in
any way she should establish sexual relation with that man. But
the intention of the man was good. So there was no inclination
of that man toward that woman. At one destination at last they
were sat together in one in the camel’s saddle, then that women
sat in this way that there was no veil in between them. In that
condition perhaps there was inclination of that man towards that
woman. So he talked with her or stretched his hand towards her.
At the same time he was seen one person who came there and
slapped on that man’s face and he said “ You are going into the
service of such and such person for the purpose of repentance
and he is doing such actions there. So he was understanding the
warning. And then he was not seen that woman. In short when
he was reached in the service of Sheikh Fariduddin when he first
told him that “Allah was saving him on that day.”
About the eloquence of the prophet of Allah
Then he said about the eloquence of the Prophet of Allah
that “ One companion sold one goat and for this reason he was
regret in this matter. He went into the service of the prophet and
he told him all details. The prophet told him to call that person
whom you have sold the goat. When that person came, he told
him “ This companion sold goat to you, but now he is regret in
this matter so you return back. ” That companion’s name was
Naim. The prophet explained the meaning in the following
phrase.
“ Naim Naqam Batamar Fardawa Alyad. ” It means in four
923
words he explained with eloquence that Ba-Naim in the meaning

that you have purchased and Baiye in the meaning of Shurra
(purchased) and Shurra in the meaning of a seller who can come.
About Sher Khan the ruler of Multan city
On the Thursday of the 9th of the Ramadan of the month in
the Hijira year 719, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh
Sahib. It was season of winter and from all surrounding sides,
there was coming from worrying news. In short, there was a
worry from infidel persons and but which is now less in this
matter.
Even though the ruler of Aucha and Multan Sher Khan was
not devotee of Sheikh Fariduddin and about him Sheikh Sahib
said one couplet in which it was informed him that he is not
aware of the news from which there will be a lesson in this
matter. When Sheikh Sahib was left from this world and in that
year infidels attacked at Multan.
Then discussion about piousness of Sheikh Bahuddin
Zikria was started. He said “One great person of knowledge
came from Buhkara to visit him. When he was seen that he was
wearing a turban on his head and he is also hanging his loose
end of the turban and he is having braid on his head. Then he
asked him “ With these two of your friends how did you come
there.?” It means one turban and other braid. That person shaved
his head before him immediately and was becoming his disciple.
”
Khaja Sahib said “ There will be over-powering on Sheikh
Bahauddin.” Then he said in Multan there was one person and
who's named Sulaiman was there and who was a worshipper.
There was mention of him before the Sheikh many times so he
went to see him and he told him “ To stand and perform two
924
rakat of prayer. So that he can see how he will perform it.” He

was standing and performed two rakat. But he kept the distance
of legs less in between of two feet. He told him not to keep such
distance and keep, such distance as per his advice. So, he
performed again two rakat of prayer. When he has performed
the prayer again, he kept a distance from the first time prayed.
He said “ To go and live in Aucha” and so he went away to
Aucha.
Then discussion about the death of Sheikh Bahuddin was
started. Then he said “ One day one disciple was brought one
envelope and which he kept in the hand of Sheikh Saderuddin
and he told one person gave this envelope to him and asked to
send this envelope in service of Sheikh Bahuddin through
Sheikh Saderuddin. When Saderuddin was seeing its subject
than his face reading was changed and he was put that envelope
in the hand of Sheikh Bahuddin. When Sheikh Sahib was
reading this letter and he has slept there and made a slogan and
in that night, he has left this mortal world. Allah is praised what
was at that period when the following pious persons were living.
1.Sheikh Abul Gaith Yamani
2.Sheikh Saifuddin Ba-Kherzi
3.Sheikh Saaduddin Hamuya
4.Sheikh Bahuddin Zakaria
5. Sheikh Fariuddin
After that, he said about Sheikh Saifuddin Ba-Kherzi that “
His practice was that he used to sleep after performing Maghrib
(sunset) prayer. When there will passing of one third of the
night, then he was used to wake up and there will be available to
him Imam (leader) and Mo’az’an (one who shouts to call to
prayer) and he will use to perform Eisha (night) prayer and then
925
he will wake up throughout the night. He has spent his entire life
in this way. The compiler of the book asked whether he used to
listen to Sama. (Ecstasy)? He said “ Yes, he used to listen to
Sama and in the way that he will use to call persons by sending
them for the invitation of the Sama and arrange a meeting and
used to listen to Sama (Ecstasy). But he will sit and say, story on
any issue and he will discuss and from it he will get cheerfulness
and then he will say is any singing person is there then at that
time choristers will present there and sing something.”
Then he said about his death that “ In Bukhara, one person
saw in his dream a burning of flame is going outside of the gate
of Bukhara city and when the day break he went to see one
pious person and asked interpretation of his dream. That person
told him that one pious person of grace will die in Bukhara. So
in those days, Sheikh Saifuddin Ba-Kherzi was passed away
from the world.”
He said, “ Sheikh Saifuddin has seen his master in his dream
and who is saying now fondness has crossed its limits now you
should come.” When he has seen such dream then he given a
sermon and given advises. In his sermon and advises he was
mentioned about separation and farewell. So the people were
surprised in this matter that the Sheikh is mentioning all about
separation. And he recited one couplet in Radif (a word
repeated towards the end of the couplet) of Khairbad (good-
bye).
On the Tuesday of the 27th of Ramadan of the month in the
Sahib. One dear person came there and he conveyed salam of
any other person to him. He was asked that “Who is that person,
but that person did tell the name but Khaja Sahib did not agree
926
on this matter. And he said that “ He knows many persons and if

he will see them, then he will recognize them, but he could not
remember their names.” On this occasion, he told one related
story that “ Sheikh Fariduddin used to love very much his son
Nizamuddin than his other sons and who was a soldier in the
army. He was very rude in the service of Sheikh Sahib.
Whatever he will say he will not feel angry in this matter.
Because he loves for him very much. In short, once Nizamuddin
went on the journey after some time he has conveyed salam to
Sheikh Sahib. That person told him “ Maqdumzada Nizamuddin
conveyed his salam to Him. ” Sheikh Sahib asked him “Who is
that person.? ” He told him “ Maqdumazada Nizamuddin and
who is your son. ” Then Sheikh Sahib told him “ Yes, brother
what is his condition.? Has he been safe.? ”When Khaja Sahib
reached on this point when he said “To see how he was drowned
in the remembrance of reality that he was asked about his son so
many times. ”
The discussion about Sheikh Bahuddin Zakaria
After that discussion about Sheikh, Bahuddin Zakaria was
started and he said “ Somebody came there and conveyed
somebody’s salam to him. He asked “ Who is that person,? ”
And that person praised that person very much, but he could not
be able to recognize him. Then that person told about many
addresses of him. At last Sheikh, Sahib told him, “There are no
needs to show so many signs and tell me whether he was seen
him,? That person told him that, “Your honour he has visited
you and also he is your disciple. ” Then Sheikh Sahib said,
“Yes, there is such person.”
Then he told this story that “ Once the ruler of Multan was in
need of grains than he was requested with Sheikh Sahib. He told
927
him to give him grains from the store. The ruler of Multan sent
his servants, so that they should take grains from the store. They
find food grain store full of coins of one Rupee notes. That
information was given to the ruler of the Multan. He said “ The
Sheikh was given an order of collection of food grains and not
the Rupees. He was asked to send these to Sheikh Sahib. When
Sheikh Sahib heard this when he said: “He was given this
money intentionally so take it.”
The discussion about leaving of the world
After that, the discussion about leaving the world was
started. He told this story that “Once Prophet Eisa (A.S.) was
passed away from one sleeping person and he called him to
stand and worship of Allah. He said, “ He did worship of Allah,
such and which is more than the other persons.” The Prophet
Eisa (A.S.) asked him which worship.? He said “He has left the
world for the sake of the people of the world.” Then he said “
One who will agree with Allah on the small sustenance then
Allah will agree with him on his small deeds. ” Later he said, “
One who will leave the world without leaving behind him
Dirham and Dinar etc., then he is a heavenly person.”
The discussion about the holy Quran
On the Saturday of the 24th of the Shawwal of the month in
the Hijira year 719, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the
Sheikh Sahib then discussion about Holy Quran was started. He
said “There are two benefits in one book I was seeing. Which
are not seen, such anywhere and which are less. ” In one verse
which is as follows.
“Eza Rayat Summa Raysy Naima Wa Mulkan Kabiran ” and the
ruler of the Muslims, Ali Bin Ali Taleb (A.S.) used to read as
“Mulka Kabira”. In another verse “ Laqad Jakum Rasul Min
928
Anfasakum” he read as “ Min Anfaskum” and the “Anfas” is a

verb of “Nafies” and gives full details of tense.
The discussion about recitals
Then a discussion about recital was started and he said that “
If from any person if his recital or obedience will miss and so,
for this reason, there will be prevailing difficulty upon him. ” He
said “One soldier came in the service of Sheikh Bahuddin and
he said that he was seen in his dream that his prayer lapsed. ” He
said to him that “You will be killed soon. So do repentance.”
When he stood there and went out and then one Sufi person
came from the shrine building and he was told the same dream.
Sheikh Sahib was surprised that the person was a soldier and so
it is possible that he will be killed in the war. But he is a Sufi
person who is good and there is no sign of illness in him then
what to tell him.? The conversation was still in progress
somebody came there and he was informed that “ The soldier
was killed and the morning prayer of Sufi person lapsed. ” When
Khaja Sahib reached on this point and he said, “ It is thought
that lapse of prayer is equal to the death.”
The daily recitals
After that discussion about the adoption of recitals was
started. He said “ One who will make upon him compulsory any
recital and if due to illness if there will be an interruption
therein, then it is recorded in the register of his dealings,but if he
will not establish recital then should say only that whatever
possible then he will recite. In this condition, the person of
recitals will be in the best position of comparing to the first
person of the recital, because for this reason, if there will be
interruption then they will not write about it. Because he is not
established his recital so, then what will write for this.?”
929
The excellence of supplication “ Musbat Asher”

Then a discussion about the excellence of “ Musbat Asher”
was started and he said “ One person used to read “ Musbat
Asher” always and once on the way robbers want to kill him,
then at that time ten troopers with weapons were appearing there
and that person saved him from robbers. Those troopers were
without covering their heads. That person asked them, “ Who
are they? ” They said that “ They are supplication of “ Musbat
Asher” which you used to read seven times daily. ” Then he
asked again “ Why they are not covering their heads.? ” And,
they said “ In the beginning of the supplication you did not read
“Bis Millah.” (in the name of Allah).” Then compiler of this
book asked where “Bis Millah” is read.? He said, “ In the
beginning of every verse.”
After that, he said “ Qazi Kamaluddin Jafri who was the
ruler of Badayun in spite of engagement of Qaiziat (judge) and
many other works he used to read very much holy Quran. In
short, when he became older than he was unable to read the
Holy Quran. Then the people asked him to “ What is his
condition.? ” He said “ He used to read “Musbat Asher”
supplication which is Jama (comprehensive) of all recitals.”
Why there be difficulty will prevail to the men?.
On the Wednesday of 27th of the Shawwal month in the
Sahib.Then a discussion about why there will prevail difficulty
with the men was started?. And he said “ The difficulty which
comes to them to men then he should understand from where it
was coming.? That person's welfare is in it that he should take
warning from this difficulty and sorrow. But one who is a false
person then there will be no difficulty will fall upon him and
930
which will stop him from due to his disgrace and that his rope is
being made more in longer.”
In this matter, he told one story that “ There was one pious
woman and who was older. I heard she used to say that if there
will be six of thorns in her feet than she will table know in this
matter. ”
After that, he said “When there was blame on Ayesha
Siddqa (R.A.) and which is generally famous. So then she made
hymns in the court of Allah “ Oh: Sustainer I know the cause of
blame. It was because the Prophet of Allah used to claim of
Your love and as well as he used to love to me. And for this
reason, there was blame on her. ”
The saying of the Prophet of Allah
During this discussion one person said “ Ahab Ela in
Duniyakum Talata Al-Tayab Wa Nisa Wa Quwati Aini Fil-Salt.
” Then he said here “Nisa” is referred to Ayesha Siddiqa (R.A.)
because in all his wives of the Prophet of Allah used to love her
very much. And “Qurata Aini Fil Salat” here refer to Fatima
Zahra (R.A.) and who was busy in the prayer at that time. ”
After that, he said “ Some give their opinion in this matter
and its aim is the prayer. ” Then he said, “ If it is referring to the
prayer then it should have to mention before.” After that, he said
in caliphs of the prophet, Abu Baker (R.A.), Umar bin Qattab
(R.A.), Usman Ghani (R.A.) and Ali Bin Ali Taleb (R.A.)
among them everybody in conformity of the prophet and they
said that “ They like three things and at that time angel Gabriel
came over there and he was brought the command of Allah that
He also like three things.”
1.The young man who repents
931
2.The weeping eye

3.Then heart of humility
The discussion about backbiting
After that, the discussion started about the person who does
backbiting among themselves about other persons. He told with
holy tongue that “ If any person for any defect of the other
person does taunt then he should think first about that whether
such defect is found himself or not.? ” If it will be found
himself, then he should shame in this matter and then why he
should blame others. If he will not find that defect in himself,
then he should be thankful to Allah and who has saved him from
that defect. So he it should not be blamed for others.”
Then a discussion about Sama was started and from the
audience one person told “Whether there is an order for you to
hear Sama which ever time does you like.? And which is legal
for you.” Khaja Sahib said “ The thing which is illegal and
which will not become legal as per order of any person. Now we
discuss some other issues so take Sama and it is against as per
Imam Shafi's order is not legal and as per other learned persons,
it is permissible and with Daf (a small tambourine) and Sarangi
(a kind of fiddle) about this difference so the order of a judge
should be acceptable. From the audience, one person told “ In
those days some Darvish persons used Chang (harp), Rabab (a
kind of strung musical instrument) and flute in the gatherings
and they have done dance there.” Khaja Sahib said that “ They
did not do well and which is not required as per Islamic law and
should not be liked. Then one person told “ Once he was out of
that place when he was asked that in that meeting there was the
use of the flute then how he was heard Sama there.? And, you
did dance there.?” Then he replied that “ We were so much
932
busy in the Sama that we could be able to know that whether

there available flutes were or not?.” When Khaja Sahib heard
this and he said “ This is not rational talk. All this will be written
as Zina (adultery). At that time, the compiler of the book was
recited one couplet of the poem of Marsad ul-Ebad and for
which Sheik Sahib said “ Yes, it is Good. ” Then Khaja Sahib
recited one Rubai (quatrain) about Sama in the Persian language.
Then I said “ If a person of knowledge will discuss on this
matter, and they say negative to Sama then it will be good.? ”
But those who are in the dress of beggars then how he will give
disapprove of it. Even if it is illegal for him, then he should do
such thing that he should not hear it. But he should not fight
with others and say that they should not hear this as fighting and
clash are not attributes of Darvish persons.” Khaja Sahib smiled
and told one story about this situation that “ There are many
persons of knowledge are there and they did not say and one
person who did not know nothing and he will be fought. ” He
said “ One student was leading the congregation prayer and
among the followers there were many persons of knowledge
were there and among them there was one sinner was also there.
The prayer was of four rakat and that student missed the first
sitting by mistake and with the second rakat he was starting the
third rakat. He was a learned person. And he knows that now
how to finish.? The learned persons (Alim) which were standing
behind were silent. But that sinner by saying “Subha Allah”,
‘Subhan Allah” (Allah be praised) made very much loud and cry
and declared his prayer false. When the leader said Salam and he
have finished the prayer. Then he asked him to “What happened
him.? And behind there were standing many learned persons,
whether they did not know that how the prayer will be finished.?
They did not say, but you have made very much loud and cry
933
and you have made your prayer reagrd as false.”

Then I told “ Those who are against of Sama (ecstasy) I am
thinking them as well. I know well about their temperament. In
short, they did not hear Sama and they say that we did not hear
Sama because it is illegal. I will not swear in this matter and I
will say rightly, that if Sama is legal then they will not hear it.”
Khaja Sahib smiled and said, “Yes, it is right and when there
was no fervor than how they will hear.”
The discussion about such people who did not leave worship
during the period of illness
On Monday of the 10th of the Zeqad month in the Hijira
Then a discussion about such people who did not leave
stipulated obedience during the period of illness was started. In
this connection, he told this story that “ There was a house of
one pious person at the bank of the river and he was suffering
due to illness. A number of times when he used to visit for
answering the call of nature and when he will take a bath and
prayed two rakat of prayer till that illness was reached at its
height. It means when went for 20 times for a visit to answer the
call of nature and he was taking a bath every time and prayed
two rakat. Such that during the night he went to visit for
answering the call of nature for 60 times and he was taken bath
for 60 times and he was prayed two rakat of prayer. The last
time he was dead in the water. Khaja Sahib shut, tears upon
telling this story. He said, “Subhan Allah” (Allah be praised)
that firmness was there in the worship that till his life he was not
deviated from the established rules and regulation.”
After that, he said “ Those who will become ill and this is
their sign of piousness. But they did not know in this matter. ”
934
Then he said “ One nomadic person came into the service of the
prophet and he has accepted the religion of Islam. Then after
some time he came and told him that from the time when he has
accepted faith, there is a loss of his wealth and property and also
his health is becoming ill. He said, “When there will be a loss in
wealth of Momin (faithful) and his health is ill, then understand
that it is sign health of faith.”
Khaja Sahib said “ On the day of judgement Darvish persons
will be given such positions that all creatures will be desired that
whether they would have been Darvish persons in the world. ”
And those who are perpetual patients, they also will be given
such positions that all creatures will be desired, there that
whether they would have been patients in the world.”
On the Monday of the 2nd of the Zil Hajj month in the
Sahib. There was sitting one Malang (mendicant,) Darvish there
who said “Allahu Akber” (Allah is great) while standing. I was
asked him that the Darwish persons who say “Allahu Akbar”
and when it was started. ” He said, “ After eating meals, it is
legal to say “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is great) and which is praise.
It is Hamd (praise of God) for thanksgiving the grace.”
After that, he said “Once the Prophet of Allah told his
companions that “ I hope that a 4th portion of heaven will be
given to all of you and remaining 2/3 portion of heaven will be
given to other communities. Then the companions said Allahu
Akbar (Allah is great). Khaja Sahib said “ On these occasions
saying Allahu Akber is instead of Hamad (praise of God). But
the Darish for every expediency, says Takbir (Allah is great) and
its mention is not available anywhere. ” Then I asked him “
About Zikr (invocation of Allah) which is done in a loud voice
935
and if it is done in low voice then how it will be this.? ” Then he

said “ Companions of the prophet used to read the Holy Quran
in such way that nobody knows. When they reach on the verse
of prostration than they perform prostration then it will be
known that they are reading the Quran. ”
On Thursday on the 26th of Zil Hajj of the month in the
Hijira year 719, I was sanctified to the feet of the Sheikh Sahib.
The discussion about salam and the reply of the salam was in
progress. He said “When Prophet Adam (A.S.) was created
when there was a command for him from Allah that he should
say Salam to close angels of Allah and hear their reply”. So that
among your sons this practice of replying to Salam will be like
this tradition. Prophet Adam (A.S.) said “Salam” to the angels
“Assalam Alaikum” and the angels were replied “Wa-Laik
Salam Rahmatullah Berkatahu .” and this commanded was given
to the sons of Prophet Adam (A.S.).” Then he said “If any
person come and will say salam like “Assalam Alaikum Wa
Rahmatullah Barkatahu” so the reply should be given in the
same way as “Walaik al-Salam Wa Rahmatullah Barkatahu.”
After that, he told this story that “Once companions were
present in the service of the Prophet of Allah, then one person
came there and said salam like “Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahma
Tullah Barkatuhu ”, then one person from the audience replied
like this “ Alsalam Alaik Wa Rahmatullah Barkatahu Wa
Magfirtahu” and at that time Ibn Abbas (R.A.) was present there
and he said “ It should not say like this. The reply of salam will
be up to Barkatahu only and it should not say more than this.”
The leaving of the supererogatory prayer
Then I asked that “If any person is performing
supererogatory prayer and if any pious person will come there
936
then he should leave the prayer and engaged with him or not.? ”
He said “ He should complete his prayer. After that, he said “ If
that person is performing supererogatory prayer for reward than
if his master will come there so he should leave the prayer and
he should kiss the feet of the Sheikh. Because in kissing of the
feet of the Sheikh there is more felicity in it. This is my belief.
And this wealth of reward is 100% more than that reward. He
said, “The order of Islamic law is that not to leave the payer.”
Then he told this story that “ Once Sheikh Bahuddin Zakaria
was reached with the bank of the river. When many of his
disciples were doing ablution there. When they saw their
Sheikh, then they left their ablution and paid respected with him.
But one disciple was presented in his service after doing
ablution and paid respect to the Sheikh. He said “ Among you
that person is Dervish who paid respect to him after ablution. ” I
asked him, “ If any disciple in leaving supererogatory then he
will be engaged in paying respect of Sheikh Sahib. So there will
be a possible Fatwa (infidelity) on him? ” He said “No”. Then a
discussion about my request and disciples’ belief was started
and he told with his holy tongue that “ Once Sheikh Fariduddin
was called Badruddin Ishaque who was engaged in praying at
that time and he was replied from the prayer in loud voice
Labaik (being at your service).”
After that, he told this story that “ Once the Prophet of Allah
was eating meals when he was called one companion and he was
engaged in prayer. So he was late for this reason. He said, “
When there was the call of the Prophet of Allah then he should
reply immediately.” After that, Khaja Sahib said, “ Sheikh’s
order is the order of the Prophet of Allah.”
Then he said this story that “ Once one person went into the
937
service of Sheikh Shibli to become his disciple. He told him “

On one condition he will make him his disciple that he should
say whatever he will say to him.” He said that “He will do as per
his saying. ” He asked “How he will recite a phrase of Tayyab
(Islamic creed). He said “ La Ilaha Illah Mohammed Rasul all-
Allah. ” And Shibli said to read as “ La Ilaha Illah Shibli Rasul
Al-Allah. ” The disciple reads immediately like that. After that,
Shibli said that “ He is a low-level servant of the Prophet of
Allah and who is the messenger Of Allah. He was trying to
check his belief.”
After that, the discussion about for Friday prayer was
started that “ Whether for not performing Friday prayer there is
an interpretation in this matter or not.? He said, “There is an
interpretation except that any slave is ill and the one who can go
then he should go and perform and if he does not go then he is a
hard-hearted person.”
Then he said “ If any person could not attend Friday prayer
then there will be appeared black spot on his heart and if he will
not attend second Friday prayer, so there will be two black spots
and if he will not go on third Friday then the whole of his heart
will become black. ”
After that discussion about Sultan, Gheyasuddin Balban was
started and he said “ He used to perform five daily prayers and
Friday prayer on time and his belief was very good. ” Then he
said “ Once he said to judge of the army that “How pious the
previous night was.? ” The judge of the army said “ It is
revealed also upon you. ” The king told “Yes. I asked whether
perhaps that may be the night of power (Shabe Qadar). ” He said
“ Yes, it was a night of power which they have got. And each of
them was able to know their condition.”
938
The recitation of Bismillah in the prayers

On the Tuesday of 2nd of Jamad Awwal month in the Hijira
The discussion about the prayer was started. He also said that “
In the beginning of every rakat to recite Bismillah (In the name
of Allah) or in every verse? ” He said, “ Imam Abu Hanifa said,
“In every rakat should recite one time Bismillah only and the
other would say to recite at the beginning of every verse.”
Then he said, “ In one gathering Sufian Suri and his friend
questioned with Imam Abu Hanifa when the person in prayer
should recite Bismilla.? Whether at the beginning of every rakat
or in the beginning of the verse.?” Their real aim was that if he
will be a negative reply in this matter, then he will be against of
Bismillah then we will be against of it so we will accountability
for him.” But he was replied while caring of the manner and
perfection of his knowledge that “ To recite one time. ” Khaja
Sahib said, “ His only aim was that and to think of it whatever in
this matter and whether to recite, it in every rakat or in the
beginning of every verse.”
Then a discussion about prayer and curse of the learned
persons was started and he said “ There was one friend of
Sheikh Fariduddin known as Mohammed Shah Ghouri who was
a true man and devoted disciple. One time he came in the
service of the Sheikh with worry and in surprised condition. He
asked him and he said “ His brother is ill and in him there are
fewer signs of life. Now I am presently in your service. There is
a doubt that he is not fully recovered from his illness.” For him,
I came here in worried condition.” Sheikh Fariduddin said “ The
condition in which you are and he was in such condition during
939
his whole life and still he has. But I do not show this to anybody.
Then he told him to go your brother will become healthy. ”
When he came back in his house than he finds his brother was
eating meals there in the house.
The issue of drinking water
On the Sunday of the 7th of Jamad Awwal month in the
Sahib. I was asked “ When one person drinks water and other
person keeping his other hand down there. Whether it is
mentioned in the saying of the prophet. ” Khaja Sahib began
asking and one person was reading some words and he said this
is saying of the prophet that “When one person drink water and
other person keeping his other hand down there than he will be
forgiven. ” Khaja Sahib said “ This saying of the prophet is not
available in famous books of sayings of the prophet. Perhaps it
is hearsay and so also it cannot say no because it may be
possible. But I can say only that this saying is not found in
famous books of the sayings of the prophet.”
The discussion of consecutive sayings of the prophet
From here, the discussion about the sayings of the prophet
of Allah was started. He said “ Once Qazi Minhajuddin was
giving a sermon and during discourse, he said there are six
sayings consecutively. Which are as follows and its translation
and interpretation is given below.
1. The backbiting is harder than rape.
2. One who smell the flower of roses and but he did not send a
blessing to him indeed he was done an injustice to him.
3. On the claimant it is expedient to swear on the statement and
its refusal.
Khaja Sahib smiled and he said when “ When Qazi
940
Minhajuddin told these three sayings of the prophet when he

said that another three sayings of the prophet were forgotten by
him. If any person would blame him that why he did not
memorize.? Then he will say that to hear these three sayings
from him and whoever did, you are not keeping in mind
them?.”
The excellence of sayings of the prophet
Then he told a story about the excellence of sayings of the
prophet that “Once Moulana Raziuddin Neshapuri became ill.
He was ill for a long period. One person with knowledge came
there and he sat at his head side of the bed and he recited the
following saying of the prophet.
1. “The backbiting is harder than fornication.”
Even though on Moulana Raziuddin there was overpowering
of illness, but he asked an explanation of the saying of the
prophet as at that time there was no need of discussion about
backbiting and rape. Then there was no need of mentioning of
the above saying of the prophet. He replied that “ “ His aim was
about explanation or no explanation. But he heard that one who
recites the correct saying of the prophet at the foot side of the
patient when he will become healthy. So I have recited this
saying which is correct and consecutively for your health. ”
Then Moulana Raziduddin was not replied and he became
healthy.
The discussion about acceptance and approval
Then a discussion about acceptance and approval was
started and he said “ One Dervish was sitting and one bee came
and sat on his nose and he caused to fly it and she came again
and sat. After that, he said “ Oh: My God, I want that bee should
941
not sit on his nose and You want that bee should sit and so I
have left over my willingness and follow your approval. Now I
will not cease to fly, bee from the nose.” When he said this then
bee was not sitting on the nose. ”
The discussion about repentance of singer Qamar
On the Saturday of 20th of the Jamad Awwal month in the
Sahib. The discussion started about some repentant persons who,
after repentance slip, but their felicity will be remaining so then
do repentance again. In this situation, he told this story that “
There was one woman who was beautiful singer known as
Qamar was there. At her last age, she did repent and she became
a disciple of Sheikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi and from there she
went to Makkah for the visit of Ka’aba. When she came back
and then the ruler of Hamadan heard about her return and has
sent somebody to come to sing for him. That woman replied that
“ She was repentant in this matter. Now she will not do such
work.” The ruler of Hamdan has not heard anything and he
asked to come and sing at his palace.That woman went into the
service of Sheikh Hamdani and has explained the situation in
this matter. The Sheikh told her “ To go now, and for the night,
he will be busy with her work and will reply in the morning. ”
At the morning, when that woman came then he told her that “
Now in your treasure of fate there is one more sin is there. She
became helpless. ” The men of the ruler came and took her.
When she started playing the harp and she begins singing and
there came one couplet from which all persons of the audience
were becoming un-conscious and first the ruler repented then all
other persons were also repented in this matter.
942
The discussion about Qazi Qutubuddin Kashani

On the Monday of Rajab month in the Hijira year 720, I was
about knowledge and worship of Qazi Qutubuddin Kashani
started. He said “ He was used to living in Multan and used to
teach in separate schools. Sheikh Bahuddin used to go there and
perform prayer. One day Moulana Qutubuddin asked him “ To
this place, why do you come from a long distance and become a
follower and perform the prayer there.” He said “ He is
following the below saying the prophet of Allah. Its translation
and interpretation are given below.
“ One who performed prayer behind the learned person of
abstinence when he is like that person who will perform the
prayer behind the Prophet of Allah.”
After that, Khaja Saheb said “ He was heard like this that
one day Sheikh Bahuddin Zakaria was present there. Khaja
Qutubuddin was leading the prayer and he was performed one
rakat and at the time of the second rakat Sheikh Sahib came
there. When Qazi Sahib sat for tashad (avowing faith by reciting
the formula called al-Athiat) then before saying “Salam” Sheikh
Sahib stood and finished the prayer. When he has performed the
prayer, then Qazi Sahib asked with Sheikh Sahib that “ From
which source you have stood for the prayer before salam.
Whether you did not perform prostration.? “ He said “If
anybody knows by his light of innermost that leader is not
committing a mistake then for him it is legal. So he can stand. ”
Qazi Sahib said “ The light which is not as per Islamic law is
darkness. ” It is said that after that Sheikh Sahib did not go
there.
One time it was asked with Qazi Qutubuddin that why he did
943
not believe in Darvish persons. He said “ He has seen such

Darvish persons which are not found now. ” He said “ Once he
was in Kashgar and he had one umbrella with him and which
was broken. I was taken from it to repair person of umbrellas
and asked him to repair it. But he said “ It cannot repair. It will
be certainly become small. Because if there will be removed one
more end for it and it will be used like a handle in some way
then it will be certainly will become small. ” I told him “ No. It
will be same like before. ” That person could not do this work
and he said “ To go such a shop where there is available old and
pious worker and perhaps he can repair it. ” Qazi Sahib said “
He went to that address and told about the work. He also said the
same thing which was told by the first worker that it will
become small. ” I told him “ No, I want same like that. ” That
old man told while thinking for some time asked me to close my
eyes, but I was looking with a furtive glance that the old man put
the umbrella near his beard and looked at the sky and recited
something. Then he asked me to open the eyes and thrown the
umbrella before me which was right in the previous condition.”
Then he said “ Another story that when Qazi Qutubuddin
Kashani came to Delhi and he was called in the Sultani lodge
and when he was reached there and the Sultan was sitting in his
Harem and Syed Nooruddin Mubarak was sitting there on his
right side of the Sultan and Qazi Faqer Aima on his other side
and these persons were sitting outside of the Harem. When Qazi
Qutubuddin was arrived there, then two pious personalities
asked him “ Where he will sit there.” He said “ Under the
shadow of knowledge. ” In short when he was reached near the
king and said salam to him when the king stood and hold his
hand and took him inside of the Harem and asked him to sit
beside him.”
944
After that discussion about Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi was

started and he said “ When he was reached Badayun and he has
stayed there for some period of time. One day he went to see
Qazi Kamaluddin Jafri who was ruler of Badayun for some work
then servants told him that “ Qazi Sahib is busy in the prayer. ”
Sheikh Sahib smiled and said “Whether Qazi did know to
perform the prayer.? ” By saying this he was left from there.
When Qazi was heard this matter, then he went into the service
of the Sheikh and regret in this matter and asked him that, “Why
you have told that whether Qazi did know to perform the
prayer.? I have written many books about prayers and its order.”
The Sheikh told him “ Yes, it is right, but the prayer of learned
persons is different from the prayer of Darvish persons. ” He
asked “Qazi Sahib, how he will perform genuflexion and
prostration.?, or he recites Quran in any more the way?. ” Sheikh
Sahib said “No, and he said the prayer of learned persons is
performed like that they look will be at the Ka’aba and they
perform prayer in this way. If Ka’aba will not be seen then they
will perform the prayer by turning their face in that direction. If
they will be at such place where there will be a direction of the
Ka’aba is not known when they will perform at any place as per
guessing. The prayer of learned persons is having three kinds.
That unless Drawesh will not see empyrean he will not perform
the prayer. Even though Qazi Kamaluddin did not like this
matter, but he did not say and he came back from there. When
there was night all he was seen in a dream that really Sheikh
Sahib while spreading his prayer mat on the empyrean he was
praying there. The next day both of pious personalities came
over in meeting place. Then Sheikh Sahib told “ Oh: such and
such person you know the work and status of learned persons.
They spend their all endeavours on this aim to gain knowledge
945
and to become a teacher or judge or president. Their position in

the world is not more than this. But the position of Darvish
persons is very great. Their first status is that which is shown to
Qazi Sahib. When he said this then Qazi Sahib was standing and
regret in this matter. He put his head and his son Burhanuddin
also put his head on the feet of the Sheikh Sahib and he was
becoming his disciple and Sheikh Sahib was giving him his
cap.”
The discussion about patience

On the Wednesday of the 24th of Jamad Awwal month in the
Sahib. The discussion started with patience. He said, “Persons
used to behave among themselves in three or four ways.”
First those persons with them there will be no benefit or loss to
any person as such persons are in the place of the minerals.
Second, those persons from them there will be benefits and there
will be no loss to others.
Thirdly, those persons are better than above two categories of
the persons. It means these are such persons and with them there
will be a benefit to other persons and if there will be a loss to
them from other persons, then they will not take revenge. But
they bear it and this is the work of the truthful persons.
The discussion about good names
On the Monday of the 18th of the Shaban month in the
Hegira year 720, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh
Sahib. The discussion started about such names which are good.
He said, “ By Allah, most dear names are Abdullah, Abdul
Rahman and after that he said the true name is Haris.”
946
Then he said again that “ From all true name is Haris.

Because one who does harvest, whether by obedience or with
sins. ” Later he said “ Most small name is Malik and Khaled
because Malik and Khaled (live always) is Allah.”
On the 5th of the Ramzan month in the Hijira year 720, I was
started about the effect of the company. He said “Once one
student whose name is Naseer came into the service of Sheikh
Fariuddin with intention of commerce. But he became his
disciple and shaved his head. One day he asked with Jogi (Hindu
ascetic) that how hairs will grow.? Khaja Sahib said “When he
heard that student asking suggestion for growing of hairs than he
was angry severally with him. Because the aim of the pledge is
to shave the hairs of the head to leave proud and smartness.
Then what is needed to grow in the hairs.?” In short, after a
period of time has passed away than Sheikh Moinuddin Sanjari's
household member Khaja Waheeduddin came into service in
Sheikh Fariduddin and requested for the pledge. Sheikh Sahib
said this matter was available to him from his household and it is
not expedient for him to make his disciple. Khwaja Sahib
requested him in this matter very much so Sheikh Sahib made
his disciple and asked him to shave his head. On the day Khwaja
Wahiduddin was shaving his head and on that day of Khaja
Naseeruddin also shaved his head in his conformity.”
Then discussion about supplication of death was started. I
told “ About Quranic verses which are written on the graves so
what do you say in this matter.? ” He said “ Not to be written on
the graves and also it should not be written on the shrouds.”
About pious personalities
On the Wednesday of the18th of Jamad Awwal month in the
947
Sahib.The discussion about piousness of Moulana Burhanuddin
Balaqi was started and he said “ Moulana Burhanuddin said still
he was boy at the age of five or six years and he was walking
with his father and at that time when conveyance of Moulana
Burhanuddin Margayani writer of book Hadaya was appeared
near there and my father was separated from him and went into
one lane and he left me there. When Moulana Burhanuddin’s
conveyance was reached near me then I proceed further and said
salam to him. He saw me carefully and he said “ In this boy I
have seen the light of knowledge. ” When I heard this I was
proceeding before his conveyance. He said again “ From him
Allah is conveying to say such thing. ” Then he said “ This boy
will become a great scholar of his time. ” Moulana Burhanuddin
Balaqi said that “ When he was heard this than he was
proceeded before. He said again that “ This talk is being
conveyed to him by Allah that this boy will become such a great
pious personality that even kings will come to his door.”
When Khaja Sahib finished this story and he said “ Moulana
Burhanuddin was a scholar as well pious personality. So he said
many times that “ Allah will not question him about any big sins
and but Allah will ask only one big sin with him. ” When
Moulana was asked “ Which was that big sin. ” He said “ Sama
which he was heard from him very much and still he is hearing.”
From here the discussion about Sama was started. He is told
that “ In this city prestigious position of Sama was establised by
Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori and also Qazi Minhajuddin who was
the judge of his time was used to like it very much. And due to
endeavors of both of them this work was completed. Even
though some persons opposed it. But Qazi Sahib was firm on his
948
stand. So once there was an invitation from him at the house of

King near Sufid Mahal where Sheikh Qutubuddin Bakhtiar was
also present there. Other pious personalities have informed
Moulana Samarqandi that Sama (ecstasy) meeting was going to
held at that place. He was very opposite of Sama and he left with
his servants and relatives from his house so that he will go there
and prohibit in this matter. When Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori
heard that he is coming there in such a way, then he said “ The
owner of the house to go and he hid himself at somewhere.
Whether there will be calling on him number of times, then he
should not come over there.” The owner of the house did as per
such instruction. Qazi sahib told “To open the door of the house
and start Sama meeting. When Moulana Runkunuddin
Samarqandi came there and asked who is the owner of the
house. He gets replied that “ He is not there and we do not
Know. ” He asked and tried, but it was not known. At last he
returned back from there. Khaja Sahib when he was reached at
this point he was smiling and said that “How good course of
action of Qazi Sahib which he was thought and he made
invisible the house owner. It means he did not allow him to enter
into his house without a permit. If Moulana Runkunuddin will
enter into the house without permission then there will be
accountability for him.”
After that, he said “ Moulana Sharafuddin Bajri was also an
opponent of Qazi Sahib. So once when Moulana Sharafuddin
Bajri was becoming ill, then Qazi Hameeduddin went to see him
and it informed him. He said “That person who says beloved to
Allah so I do not want to see him.” In short, he did not allow
him to enter the house. The compiler of the book asked whether
the meaning of that beloved is a sweetheart.” He said “ In this
matter there are many things are more there. As per information
949
with the people, then they will reply and which will be depended
upon it. But those who sits in the house and say something, then
nobody cannot do in this matter.”
Then he said “ Once Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori, Qazi Kabir
and Moulana Burhanuddin Balaqi three pious personalities were
going to attend the meeting of the Sheikh Fariduddin. Khaja
Sahib was sitting on a mule and other two was riding on tall
horses. During the journey Moulana Kabir said to Qazi
Hameeduddin “ Moulana your conveyance’s mule is small. ” He
said “ But better than Kabir (big) one. ” Khaja Sahib smiled and
said “ How decent reply he was given and on it there will be no
objection is there.”
Later he said “ When there was fame of Sama of Qazi
Hameeduddin Nagori than many opponents, issued legal
opinions against it and heard his replies. All were written that
Sama is an illegal act. And one Faqih (Muslim jurist) with him
there was a contact of Qazi Sahib perhaps in that legal opinion
he has written something. And its news was reached to Qazi
Sahib and at that time that Faqih was coming there. Then Qazi
Sahib asked him “ Whether you have also written reply so he
was ashamed in this matter.” And he said “ Yes wrote.” On this
matter Khaja Sahib told on that day Qazi Sahib was disclosed
his some secret on that Faqih and he said “ All those Muftis
(Muslim jurists) who wrote replies against him still have not
born from the womb of their mothers and you are born but still
you are child.”
From here the discussion about Qazi Hameeduddin
Mutwakal was started. He said that “ He came to see Qazi
Hameeduddin Nagori when he was reached with the city when
he was passed away from the world. One day Qazi
950
Hameeduddin’s collection and those books written by him about

mysticism was brought and studied by him. Upon study, he told
to the audience that “ Whatever you have studied which is
available on these papers and whatever you did not have studied
which is also available on these papers and whatever which I did
have studied which is also available in these papers and
whatever which I did not have studied which is also available in
these papers.”
The story of Abul Ghyas Qassab
On Saturday on the 27th of Shawwal month, in the 721
Hijira year, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about pious personalities of reality and their dealings
with creatures and their benefits was started. Then he said this
story that “ In Neshapure there was used to live one pious
personality who has handed over some goats to Abul Ghayas
Qassab and asked him to slaughter and sell the meat and keep
the same amount with him till his return back. When he was
returned back after some period of time and he was seen a large
number of piles of bones and he was asked him what are these.?
”Abul Ghayas said these bones of the goats for which you have
asked to slaughter and sell them. So he was doing the same.His
father told him “Why he did not sell the bones. ” He said that “
the people came there to purchase meat and nobody did not ask
about bones and so he did not sell bones. ” Upon hearing this his
father laughed and he told him “ You have lost my money. He
asked “ How Much?. He said “ Twenty thousand Dinars. ” Then
Abul Ghayas raised his hands in prayer and there came one bag
of money into his hands by an invisible source which he placed
before his father. When it was opened it was found 20 thousand
Dinars in it. When he was finished this story and I asked him
951
whether this was the same Jalal Qassab? He said “No, and Jalal
Qassab was belonging to persons coming later. ” I asked is this
couplet which is available in the Urdu version of this book on
page number 867 is belonging to Jalal Qassab and he said “Yes.
It is his couplet. ” Then he said there was another butcher was
there in Delhi who was a pious personality of reality and from
him there were great benefits available to people. Qazi
Fakheruddin used to go and see him usually in his beginning
days. That butcher asked him “ What Do you want.? ”. He said
that “He want to become Qazi (judge). He said “ Yes,you will
become Qazi.”
After that, he said “ One person used to go and see him to
that butcher and he asked him what do you want.? ” He said “
He wants to become ruler for the administration of justice. ” He
said, “ To go you will become ruler for the administration of
justice ”. So he became that one.
Then he said Moulana Wajehuddin also used to go and see
him and he asked him “What do you want to become?. ” He said
“ He wants to gain knowledge.” So he was become learned
person. One other person had friendship with that butcher. He
asked him “ What do you want.? ” He said “ He wants the love
of Allah. ” So he becomes a person of reality. Khaja Sahib said
that “ He was seen that butcher.”
The discussion of about Alawis
On Tuesday, of the 27th of the Shawwal month in the 721
Hijira, year, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about Al-Wais (all children of Ali Ibn Ali Taleb
(R.A.) through his wives other than Hadrat Fatima (R.A.) were
called as Sayed-e-Alawis) was started. In my mind, there has
been this matter for a long time and which is now discussed.
952
That from some Al-Wais he was heard that the prophet was
writing one letter that “ My sons may be given permission if
they want then they can sell Muslims. ” And from one among
Abu Baker Siddiq (R.A.) or Umar Bin Qattab (R.A.) tore off
that order. I have asked “ About this whether what is right.? ”.
He said “No, this matter is not seen in any books. But it is
expedient to give respect to the sons of the prophet of Allah.”
After that, he said “ Who are the sons of the prophet of Allah
and from them there will be not done any un-decent actions. ”
Then he said this story that “ In Samarqand there was legitimate
of a noble, correct race of Syed family (descendants of the holy
prophet through his daughter Hadrat Fatima) member known as
Syed Ajal was there and who wrote the book Nafe Hamdan. He
had one slave girl with him and there was born one boy to her
and who was become five or six years Old. Then one water
carrier person brought a water skin there and when he left it
outside after filling water and then again he brought water, then
there was a hole in the water skin and from it and there was
leakage of water. Syed Ajal was asked “What has happened to
water Skin. ” The water carrier person told that “ He was
brought by water skin full of water. Your son made a small bow
and arrow and he hit it with an arrow from his bow and so for
this reason there was a hole in water skin. ” Syed Ajal when he
was heard this he was taken with a sword in his hand and asked
her to tell truly that “Whose son is this.? ” First she wants to
keep it secret, but after that she told that “ This boy is the son of
one slave. ” Upon hearing this Syed Ajal came outside. Before
that boy had two tresses, but he cut one of them. The matter is
that from the sons of the prophet there will be not happen any
un-decent action.
953
Then he told another story that “ In Badayun there was one

Syed (descendant of the holy prophet through his daughter
Hazrat Fatima) person and who used to live there and with him
one son was born when the moon was in the turret of a scorpion.
Such as it was the general custom so its birth is deemed a un-
lucky event. And he was given that boy to one garbage pickup
woman and who nourished him. After four or five years, there
were great light and grace on him. Then someone was informed
Syed Sahib that “ Have you seen your son how is smart he is.? ”
His parents came and took him away. He was taught Quran,
knowledge and literature. In short Khaja Sahib said that “ He
was seen that Syed person really he was very smart. Then he
was become a learned man of amazing. So many persons of
Badayun were become his disciples. He was really a great prose
writer and pious person. So who ever will see him and he says
really he is belonging to sons of the prophet.”
Then discussion about Darvesh persons was started and he
said “ He was heard by Badruddin Ishaque and he said that one
Sufi came into the service of Sheikh Fariduddin and that person
was very dear and who used to engage in the invocation of Allah
day and night. When his clothes were becoming dirty. Then I
asked him why he did not wash his clothes.? At that time, he
was not replied in this matter. After some days, I again asked
why he did not clean his clothes.? Then, with humility he replied
that “ He did not have time to clean his clothes.” Baderuddin
Ishaque says that “ Whenever he will remember his reply then
there will be un-consciousness prevailed on him.”
The discussion about fervor, passion and fondness for mystic
persons
Then a discussion about fervor, passion and fondness of Salik
954
(mystic persons) was started and he said this story that “In
Suhader there were one learned person and his sermon was very
effective. One day he desired to visit Ka’aba in Makkah and so
he has sought permission from the Qazi (judge) of the City. That
person told him “Oh: Man of Allah where you will go.? And
from your sermon and advice there is beneficial to the people. ”
So he stopped his journey plan of Makkah due to the saying of
the Qazi and next year, also that person will say like that. Then
Qazi also replied him the same thing. During the third year when
he was asked when Qazi said “ Gentleman, if there will be
overpowering of fondness upon you then you will not seek
advice and not ask permission and to go to Makkah.” Then
Khaja Sahib said “ In the love there is no advice.”
The revelation and miracles
On the Sunday of the 11th of the Zil Hajj month in the 721
discussion about the revelation of miracles was started then, he
said “ Before this time in such and such village there was one
woman named Bibi Fatima used to live there and who was very
pious and old lady who passed away. I have seen her and she
was really a very pious lady. She was remembered couplets
matching as per many situations.”
After that, he said “ Sheikh Najibuddin Mutwakal used to
love very much that woman as his sister. When there will be
starvation in the night in the Sheikh’s house, then on the next
day she used to bake breads of one kilogram and send it through
somebody to him and she will say “ Go in the night there was
starvation so go and hand over the breads.” Once when she was
sent breads to him, then Sheikh Sahib was in a cheerful mode
said “ Oh : my Sustainer as you have informed my condition to
955
that woman and if you have informed to the ruler so that he will
send us a thing of blessing. ” Then he smiled and said “The
rulers do not have such cleanliness so they will not be able to
know the condition. ” Khaja Sahib said “ Once he was visited
that woman then she addressed me and told me that “There is
one girl with a man. It is better if you will marry her. ” I have
replied that “ Once he was in service of Sheikh Fariduddin and
there was also one Jogi (Hindu Ascetic). There a discussion
started about this matter that some boys are born without liking.
The reason in this matter, that person did not know the time of
their intercourse. Then Jogi said there are three days in one
month and every day has its own peculiarity. For example, if on
the first day there will be done intercourse, then such type of son
will be born and on the second day if intercourse will be done
then such type of the son. As far as he was explaining the details
of all days. After that Khaja Sahib said by asking Jogi he was
remembered effects of the days very well.” Then he said to Jogi
“ Listen from him whether he was remembering or not.?” When
I said this then Sheikh Faridudin told me that “ Whatever you
are remembered by asking Jogi which are not useful for you.”
Khaja Sahib said “ When he was told this story of Bibi Fatima
then she said that “ Enough I was finding it. You did good that
you have not married her.” “In reality, there was no intention of
mine, I told only so that there will be no heart-breaking of that
person.”
The discussion about issues of Sama (ecstasy)
On Munday of the 29th of Zil Hajj month in the 721 Hijira, I
was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The discussion
was started about one person who was an opponent and he was
ready for the enmity of Sama he told the things which were not
956
suitable for it.

After that, about Sama, he said “ When there will be
available some things then Sama can be heard. The details of
these things are as follows.
1.Masama
2.Masmau
3.Mustama
4.Instruments of Sama
Then he explained these things as follows.
Masama is called one who says and who will be the adult and
man. And he should not be a boy or woman. Masmau is one
who sing something and who should not sing immodesties and
useless things. Mustama is one who listens and he should be full
with the invocation of Allah and there should be no false
thinking with him. Instruments of Sama are as follows.
1.Chung (harp) 2. Rabab (kind of stringed musical instrument)
and etc., and which should not be there in the meeting. Then
such Sama is legal. Then he said “ Sama is a suitable voice, then
how it will be illegal.? ” Also from, it there will be a movement
of the heart. If that movement will be for the cause of invocation
of Allah, then it will be desirable. And if it will be due to the
reason of bad thinking, then it is illegal.”
The discussion about manners of Darwesh persons
On Sunday on the 23rd of the Muharram month in the 721
discussion about the manners of Darwesh persons was started
and also there was a discussion about the persons the dealing
disturbance. He said “ One King Tarani was killed in disruption,
and who had very much love of Sheikh Saifuddin Bakherzi.
957
When he was killed and in his place another person was made a
king. And his trusted person who has enmity with Sheikh
Saifuddin. When he got a chance, then he told the king that “ If
he wants to keep possession of the country than to take a
decision on Saifuddin. Because changes in the country are
caused due to him.” The King told him that “Yes, to bring the
Sheikh in any way into court.” He went to see Sheikh Sahib and
put in his neck urban or some other thing which caused his
disrespect of him. When the king saw this when he came down
from the throne and was fallen down at the feet of the Sheikh
and began kissing his feet and requested him to forgive him and
he was presented one horse and many things to him. In short the
Sheikh was returned back from there. Then the next day the king
sends his trusted person and tied his hands and foot and send
him in the presence of the Sheikh . And he said “He was sending
him to his service to kill him as he like.” When he was seen by
the trusted person of the king immediately, he has opened his
hands and feet and was given him by his dress and told him to
accompany today in the sermon. When he came into the
mosque, then he took him to the pulpit and he recited one
couplet.
After ending of this story, he said “The deed which is done
by a man, whether it is good or bad deed which is caused by the
side of Allah. So whatever is affected which is caused from
there?. So why there will be displeasure from anybody.?
The discussion about Sheikh Abu Saeed Saifia
After that in this situation, he told this story that “ Once
Sheikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair was walking on the way and one
mean person came and struck him from the backside on the nape
of his neck. He was turning back then that person said: “What
958
you are seeing and this is not said to you that whatever is done
from the side of Allah.”? Then Sheikh said really the matter is
like that, but I will see that unlucky person who is there and who
is nominated for this work.”
The discussion about sight of Allah
On Thursday of the 17th Rabbil Awwal month in the year
721 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. I was
asked “ The sight for which Momins (faithful) were promised
and whether it will happen on the day of judgment.?” He said
“Yes.” Then I asked that after seeing such grace Momins will
not require seeing other graces. ” He said “When they will see
that grace, then they will be in a condition of a surprise for a
period of a thousand years. ” After that, he told with his holy
tongue that “ It is very shortsightedness that after seeing this
grace to look any other Thing. ” I have recited one couplet of
Sheikh Sa’di. Then Khaja Sahib said, “ Yes, he really said very
well.”
The judgment of Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) and the advice of
Ali Bin Ali Taleb (R.A.)
On Monday of the 26th Rabbil Awwal month in the year
discussion about fear and the hardness of Umar bin Qattab
(R.A.) were started. And he said that “One person came into his
service and said that he was married before six months and there
was born one boy so what order will you pass in this matter.? ”
He said “ To stone to death that woman. ” In that meeting Ali
Bin Ali Taleb (R.A.) was also present there and he began
thinking something. Umar bin Qattab (R.A.) asked him. “What
did you say in this matter.? ” “As Allah says in Quran that
child’s pregnancy and his milking period is for 30 months, then
959
it is possible that milking period is for 2 years and pregnancy

period is 6 Months. ” After hearing this order, he ordered to
cancel his previous order. And he said, “ If Ali Bin Ali Taleb
(R.A.) was not present there when Umar would have been
killed.”
Then he told one more story that “ One woman came into his
service and told that “ In her womb, there is an illegal boy.” He
said, “ To stone to death, her ”. At that time, Ali Bin Taleb
(R.A.) was presented there. He said that “ We have to think this
order. ” He asked “ Why.? ” He said “Because the sin was done
by women and not by a boy in the womb. ”Then Umar bin
Qattab (R.A.) ordered to keep her safe till her delivery time of
the boy.” Also, he said, “This phrase that, if Ali will not present
there then Umar would have been killed.”
The discussion about the poetry
Then about the Islamic favour which was in the heart of the
Umar and he told this story that “ Once one poet said some
poetry in his praise in which also there was his sermon and
advises very much and in his couplet he said that old-age and
Islam are enough and which will stop a man from sins. When
the poet recited this couplet and then he was not given any
reward so the poet asked him “ Why did not give him a reward
for it.” He said, “ You have given priority to old-age than Islam
and if you would give priority to Islam then he would give
something.”
From here the discussion about saying poetry was started. I
told that him, “ With his holy tongue, he was heard many times
that the reading of the Quran will overcome on saying the
poetry. So far, this hope everyday he used to read Quran. And
whatever he said on this matter from them, I seek forgiveness. ”
960
And he liked my request very much. Then I said that “One

Arabic phrase and its translation and interpretation are that those
who are followers of the poets are misled. And many times he
has heard with his holy tongue that the sayings of the holy
prophet of Allah that “ “ The poetry is wisdom” and so on, such
condition as the poets are people of wisdom then how their
followers will mislead?.”
He said “ Those poets who say poetry of joke, stupid poetry
and lampoon and this is order there for following them. Even
though the companions of the prophet said poetry like Ali Bin
Ali Taleb (R.A.) and others. Then he told two couplets of Ali
Bin Ali Taleb (R.A.) with his holy tongue and its meaning is that
“ When the women will ride the horses, then there will be fear of
coming of Dajjal (Antichrist)” and details of Qafia (rhyme) in
the Arabic language are as follows.
1.Sarwaj
2.Faruj
3.Qhoruj
Then I asked “ In the poetry there is an exaggeration is done
and in this matter what is your opinion,?. ” He said, “He was
seen in one famous book that telling lies is a sin, but telling lies
in poetry is not sin.”
The discussion about malice and envy
On Monday of the 17th Jamad Awwal month in the year
721 Hijira , I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. The
discussion about malice was started. He said the Prophet prayed
“ Oh: Allah makes him be envious and not malicious. ” Then he
said “ There are one malice and another envy. The malice is that
when one person will look for the grace of another person and
he will desire for its finishing and envy is that one person will
961
try to become like another person which is legal.”

The discussion about Haider Zavia
On Wednesday of the 7th Ramazan month, in the year 721
discussion about Haider Zavia was started. He said by his holy
tongue that “ After 100 years the door was opened for him so
when he was put his head on the earth and said “ He is hoping
one thing. ” And he said, “ Yes.”
He said told with his holy tongue about Qutub of the world,
Sheikh Qutubuddin that “ It was festival day and Sheikh
Qutubuddin was returned back from prayer place and he was
stopped at the place where now his mausoleum is there and he
began thinking and in those days there was a forest there and
there was no sign of the grave was there. Friends told him “To
today is festival day and all people are waiting that your honour
will come to the house and will eat meals there. Why you are
doing delay in this place.? ” He said “ He is smelling of hearts
with this land. ”At that time he called the owner of the land and
purchased land from him and he was asked to make his grave
there. When Khaja Sahib reached on this point when he was
shut, tears and he said: “ Where there will be the smell of the
hearts will be there so then think how such persons were buried
there.”
The discussion about Sheikh Mahmood Moza Douz
Then a discussion about Sheikh Mahmood Moza Douz was
started and he said during this period if any person’s slave will
run away, then that person will come to see him and would say
“My slave was running away” and then he will ask the name of
that slave and for some time he will use to think and he will say
that he will get back his slave. But when you will find him, then
962
he should inform him in this matter. In short, one day, one

person came to see him and told him that his slave was running
away. For some time he thought and he said “ He will get back
his slave. But when you will find the slave, then he should
inform him in this matter. ”After some days the slave was
returned back, but that person did not inform him. After some
days, that slave was running away again. The owner of the slave
came to see the Sheikh and he has informed him all details.
Then he said “ He used to say that he should be informed of this
matter because the weight of this heart should away form it. ”
The Sheikh was smiled and said that Sheikh Mahmood told the
owner of the slave that “ When you have got back your slave
and you have not fulfilled the condition so, this time, you will
not get back your slave.”
The discussion about five Darwesh persons
Then a discussion about Sheikh Fariuddin was started and he
said “ Once five Darwesh persons came into his service and who
were having hard natured persons. They said this and left that
“They have wandered very much, but they could not find
Darwesh persons in any place.” He told them “ To sit down
there so that to show them Darwesh persons.” However, they
have not paid any attention and they left from there. He said “
You are going, but do not follow the way of the forest and go by
another way. ” But they have acted against his instruction and
they followed the jungle way. He was sent one person to them to
find that which way they have followed for their journey. Then
that person brought the news that they have to follow the way
from the jungle than he began weeping very much like
somebody is doing mourning. In short then he told that “ Four
persons among them were killed by simoom and fifth one was
963
reaching for one well and he was dying there by drinking very
much water more there.”
There was some illness in the feet of Khaja Sahib so, for this
reason, he was sitting by stretching his feet and he was excusing
with the audience in this matter that there is some pain in his
feet so he is sitting by stretching his feet. All persons in the
audience prayed to Allah to give his life so that their life will be
an attachment with his life.
The discussion about Sheikh Fariduddin Attar and Sheikh
Jalaluddin Tabrizi
Then he said about Sheikh Fariduddin Attar that “ Sheikh
Jalaluddin Tabrizi was seeing him in Neshapur. Perhaps on any
occasion he was told this by Sheikh Bahuddin that he was seen
Sheikh Fariduddin Attar in Neshapur. He was asking him for the
address of any person of Allah. But I could not tell him. ” When
Sheikh Jalaluddin heard this than he said on such occasion the
address of Sheikh Shahabuddin why did not give him. Sheikh
Jalaluddin said that “ The engagement which he was seen in
Sheikh Fariduddin Attar and against this the other engagements
are useless.” During this period, Khaja Sahib said “ He has seen
one master who used to say that he was seen Sheikh Fariduddin
Attar and, in the beginning, he was found him in very worried
condition on his steps. Then Khaja Sahib said, “ When there will
be the available grace of Allah and which will be changing
everything in good deeds.”
After that, he told About “ Death of Khaja Attar that he was
martyred when infidel persons attacked Neshapur then at that
time he was sitting with his 17 friends in the direction of Qibla
(direction in which Muslims turn in prayer) and he was waiting
for coming of the infidel persons for his martyrdom and at that
964
time infidel person came there and started martyring his friends
and in that condition he said “ How this sword of Qahari
(anger)?.How this sword of Jabbari (mighty).? ” And when they
began his martyring then he said “ How this sword of the favour
of miracle and forgiving.”
The discussion about Qasida (encomium) of Hakim Sinai

Then a discussion about Hakim Sinai was started and he
said: “Sheikh Saifuddin Bakerzi used to say many times that he
was becoming Muslim due to Qasida of Hakim Sinai”. And one
person from the audience recited one couplet of Hakim’s Sinai
Qasida (encomium).
After that, Khaja Sahib told “ One couplet with his holy
tongue and said that this couplet is also attached with the above-
mentioned couplet.”
The discussion about Ammarri (canopied seat on back of
elephant or camel)
I asked “What is Ammari.? ” He said which is generally also
called Ammari and which is made first time by one person
Ammar and people called it Ammaray as Ammari.
Then he said, “ Sheikh Saif Bakerzi used to say that if he
would be taken where is his grave is there or anyone if he can
bring him some soil from the grave so that I can use it as
antimony.”
The discussion about Qazi Minhajuddin
On Wednesday of the 14th Ramzan month, in the year 721
discussion about Qazi Minhajuddin and his sermon was started.
“He said on every Saturday without gap he used to go to hear his
965
sermon. Subhan Allah (Allah be praised) with his sermon,

advises and his conversation there will be very much pleased. ”
Later he said “One day he was become un-conscious like a
dead person due to hearing of his sermon and advice. Before
this, I never find myself in such condition in any Sama or
rapture. This matter is related to the period when he was not
becoming a disciple.”
After that, he said, “One dear person told him that he is not
suitable for the post of judge, but he is suitable for the Sheikh of
Islam.”
Then discussion about Auliya (pious person), Abdal (an
order of saints) and Autad (category of saints comprising only
four at any time in the world) was started. I told that “ Just now I
was heard by some person that which caused me hardened in his
heart. ” He asked, “What is that.?” I told that “ He said that “
World there is established due to blessing of four Qutubs
(highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) and Autad (category of
saints comprising only four at any time in the world), 40 Abdals
(an order of saints) and 400 Auliya (pious persons). It is ruled
that when any Qutub dies, then in his place Autad is appointed
from them and Abdal instead of Autad and from one pious
person from 400 pious persons is appointed in place of that
Abdal. And from general personal one pious person is
appointed.” He said “ This is ordered that when there will be
less one person for 400 pious persons, then nobody is not
included, but there will be left 399 persons and again one more
will be less than total will become 398 persons left. It is not
possible that from the general person nobody could become their
successor. Because the door of Velayat (saintliness) is closed. ”
When Khaja Sahib heard this and said “ No, there are two kinds
966
of Velayat is as follows.
1. Velayat Eman (saintliness of faith)
2. Velayat Ahsan (saintliness of favour)
That Velayat of Eman is available to every Muslim person. So
Allah says in Quran “ Allahu Wali al-Lazina Amanu. ” Velayat
Ahsan is that somebody has given the status of revelation and
miracles or any other higher position.
The discussion about Syedi Ahmed Mansour Hallaj
On Saturday of the 29th Safar month, in the year 721
discussion of learned persons was started. I asked “What kind of
man Syedi Ahmed was.? “ He said “ He was a pious person and
he belongs to Arabia and it is customary in Arabian countries
that pious persons are called Syedi. ” Also, he said “ He was
lived during the period of Sheikh Mansur Hallaj. When Hussian
Mansour was burnt and the ashes were flown to river Tigris.
Then Syedi Ahmed was drinking some water from that river as
felicity so for this reason, he got all blessings due to that water.”
The favour to the thief
On Saturday of the 29th Rabil-Awwal month, in the year
721 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of Sheikh Sahib.
The discussion about good manners and nobility, character of
Darwesh persons was started. He said “One night one thief was
entered into the house of Sheikh Ahmed Naharwali and he
search a lot but he could not find anything there. At last, when
he was returning back from there, then Sheikh Ahmed called
him to stop for a while, then from the loom he has given him
seven yards cloth which was ready and he was thrown it towards
the thief as he was a weaver by cutting and asked him to take it
967
away. Next day along his parents thief put his head on the feet of
the Sheikh and he was repenting from that work.”
The evil spirit of Jinn or fairy
On the Sunday of the 10th Rabil-Awwal month in the year
721 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of Sheikh Sahib. On
that day, I brought one child from my relatives to whom some
time one thought to give him trouble God knows there was an
evil spirit of the fairy on him or something other. I have
explained all his condition and Khaja Sahib looked at him with
mercy and told that he will become well.
After that, he told this story that “In Bukhara there was one
boy to him Jinn and fairy used to give him trouble. Every
evening whenever he will be there when they used to take him
on the tree which was in his courtyard and then they left from
there. For the safety of the boy, the parents put him in one room
and locked him. But in the evening time, the boy was found on
the tree. When they become helpless and worried in this matter
than they took him in service of Sheikh Saifuddin Ba-Khaerzi
and explained his condition. Sheikh Sahib told “ To shave his
head and put a cap on his head. Then he told the boy “ To tell
Jinn and fairy that he was become a disciple of Sheikh Saifuddin
Ba-Kharzi. To show them his shaved head and show them his
cap.” When they brought the boy into the house and again Jinn
and fairy came there. Then the boy told them as per instructed.
They said among themselves that “ Who was that un-lucky
person that took him to Sheikh Sahib. ” Saying, thus they left
from there. When Sheikh Sahib reached on this matter audience
wept very much because it was a time of pleasure.
The discussion about Sheikh Saifuddin
After that, the discussion about Sheikh Saifuddin was
968
started. He said “ When he was young and at that time he was

against of the learned and Darwish persons. He was used to
deliver sermons. During his sermon time, he used to say bad
things to that group. When this news reached to Sheikh
Najamuddin Kubra, then he asked him to take on sermon
meeting. The servants told him that “ It is against expedient to
go there. He used to say bad things to Darwesh and it may
happen that he will insult you more there.” They said many
more things, but he was not agreed and at last, he has reached
there. When Sheikh Saifuddin saw him, then he said too many
things than before. As he goes on saying bad things to him then
Sheikh Najamuddin used to move his head and used to say
slowly “Subhan Allah” (Allah be praised ). How such there is
ability in this young man.?” In short when Sheikh Sahib came
down from the pulpit than Sheikh Najamuddin stood there and
he went outside. When he reached to the gate and he turned his
back and said still that Sufi did not come there and at that time
Sheikh Saifuddin while tearing off his dress and making slogan
and while splitting gathering he was falling at the feet of Sheikh
Najamuddin. Sheikh Shuhabuddin was also present at that
gathering and he was also fallen down on the feet of Sheikh
Najamuddin. In short, both of them became his disciples. It is
said that “ When Sheikh Najamuddin came the house from the
mosque, then on his right side with Sheikh Saifuddin and on his
left Sheikh Shahabuddin were there with him on their feet. In
short on that day, both of them were becoming his disciples and
they shaved their heads. At that time, Sheikh Najamuddin told
Sheikh Saifuddin that “ He will get this world as well other
world and even more than this. ” And to Sheikh Shahabuddin,
he told that “ You also get this world and the world hereafter
and in both places he will get comfort. ” Khaja Sahib said
969
“When Najamuddin came to the house from the mosque, then

Sheikh Saifuddin was on his right side and Sheikh Shubuddin
was his left side. Sheikh Saifuddin was removing his sock off
the right foot and Sheikh Shubuddin was removing his sock off
the left foot. This is a sign of scholarly persons.”
After that, Sheikh Najamuddin asked “ Sheikh Saifuddin to
go and live in Bukhara and I have given that area to you. ”
Sheikh Saifuddin told that “ There are many learned persons are
there and their overpowering and discrimination with the people
of Marafat (mystic knowledge) and Darwish persons which are
known to you. Then what will be his condition there.? ” Sheikh
Najamuddin said that “ It is your work to go and other things we
will see them.”
The discussion Abu Ishque Gazardani
On Saturday of the 26th Rabil-Awwal month, in the year
721 Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh.
Discussion Abu Ishque Gazardani was started and he said: “ His
real name was Sheriyar and his title was Abu Ishaque.” Then he
said “ He was belonging to a family of weavers and he used to
live in one village. One time he was joining the threads and at
that time, Abudullah Khaifif came there. God knows what was
written on his forehead and which was seen by him. He said to
him, “ To put his hand on his hand and said that he became his
disciple.” Then he asked him to “ What to do.? “ Sheikh
Abdullah said “ Whatever you eat from that food gives it to
others.” He accepted it. After that when he used to eat then,
from that food he used to give in the way of Allah. One day
three Darwesh persons came to the village and they did not stay
and left of that village. There was thought in his heart to do
service to them. At that time, he took three pieces of bread and
970
ran behind them and he did call them from the backside and
which is against the manners and he went before them and given
them bread. These were people of hearts. They took bread and
they said among themselves that “ This small person was doing
his work. Now we have to do our work. ” One person said “ We
should give him the world. ” The second person said “ No,
because the world is the cause of the problems. He should be
given, the more the world. ” The third one said “Darwish is
brave,so give him both religiously and this world. ” Then Khaja
Sahib said that “ Abu Ishaque was Sheikh of perfect condition
who lived in his time. His attributes cannot be counted. When he
was passed away from the world and from that time there was
very much grace and comfort available in his mausoleum and
even it is still available there and there is no limit on it. There is
a gathering and there are different kinds of grace and gold and
silver are available there.”
The discussion Sheikh Ahmed Mashooq
After that discussion of Sheikh Ahmed Mashooq was
started. He said “ Once in the season of winter for doing Chilla
(40 days seclusion for mystic communion) he left from his
house in the middle of the night and he was standing there in the
running water where there was a possibility of his death. And he
said “ To Allah that till he will not know about himself that who
is he? Then he will not come out of the water.” There came the
voice in which it was said that “ You are such person from his
intercession large number of persons will be to get salvation
from the fire of hell that there is no limit to it. ” He said “ He is
not agreed on this. ” Then there was a sound which came again
in which it said that “ You are such person from his favour a
large number of persons will be to get salvation and they will be
971
sent to paradise. ” Sheikh Sahib said that “ He does not agree to

this condition. He wants to know who is he.? ” There was a
sound which came again in which there was ordered by Us that
Darwish and Arif (mystic one having an intimate knowledge of
god) persons who become Our lovers but We are your lovers
and you are Our beloved. Then Khaja Ahmed came out of that
place and went to the city. Who ever met him and see him and
would say to him “ Assalm Alaik Ya Sheikh Ahmed Mashooq, ”
Khaja Sahib when he was reached on this status then he wept
very much. One person from the audience told that “Khaja Sahib
did not use to perform prayers.” He told “Yes. One time when
he was asked “Why he did not perform prayers.?’ He said “ He
will be praying but without the verse of Fateha. ” The people
told that “How is that prayer in which there is no recitation of
verse Fateha. ” When they are very much request in this matter
when he said “He will recite it. But he will not recite “Eyka
Nabudu Yayaka Nastin. ” The people told “This should be
recited. ” At last, when he was standing for performing prayer
and he has started the recitation of verse Fateha and when he
was reached on “Eyka Nabudu Yayaka Nastin. ” Then from his
body parts and small hairs discharge of blood started. Then he
addressed the audience and said: “ He is like a menstruating
woman and for him prayer is illegal.”
The discussion about Sheikh Nizamuddin Abu al-Muaid
On Tuesday of the 11th Rajab month, in the year 721
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. In those
days, there was a scarcity of rain. He told this story that “Once
there was starvation in Delhi. Then the people have agreed and
requested Sheikh Nizamuddin Abu al-Muaid to lead a prayer
for the rain. All mankind left the city and Sheikh Nizamuddin
972
Abu al-Muaid went to the pulpit and during a sermon he was

taking the cloth from his sleeves and while looking at the sky
started a movement of his lips than at that time drops of the
rainfall started. When he started sermon and advice then rainfall
was stopped. After that, he was taken the cloth and looked at the
sky, then heavy rainfall was started there. When he was returned
back to his house and he was asked “What was that cloth .? ” He
said, “It was the edge of the shirt of his mother.” Then he said
one story about her piousness that “ His cousin brother who is
distant or nearby relative and who was a humorist and he
sometime due to his kindness towards one’s relations he used to
visit him and he used to joke and jesting with every person.
Once he began talking of jesting with him, then he said “ Either
do not allow me to sit near him otherwise, he will go as a
humorist and sinner from there. ” When he was saying these
phrases with such humility that all of the persons began weeping
there.
On Wednesday of the 29th Rajab month, in the year 721
Hijira, I was sanctified to touch the feet of the Sheikh. Once
from him, he had heard the story of Sheikh Ahmed Mashooq
that from many persons it was heard that Sheikh Mashooq is
also called Mohammed Mashooq. So I asked him that day
“Whether Mohammed Mashooq is right or Ahmed Mashooq? ”
He said, “Ahmed Mashooq because his father’s name was
Mohammed and his name was Ahmed.”
This was a spiritual person’s smell of musk and which is
collected during a period of three years. The first part of Fawaid
al-Fawad was collected during a period of 12 years and if in it
the above period of three years is counted, then a total period of
the collection will be about 15 years. If there will be life and if
973
there will be the willingness of Allah will be there then from the
river of grace I will get pearls and make its string and for the
sake of those pearls I will become wealthy.
The End.

Introduction
This is a very old magazine written by Khaja Mohibullah about

the advice and discourses of his spiritual master Khaja
Naseeruddin Chirag Dehlavi which was translated from Persian
into the Urdu language, and for the first time I translated this
magazine in English.
magazine on Sufism will, I hope, be found useful not only by the
number of students familiar with the subject at first hand, but also
by many readers.
This is a very old magazine in which there are advice and
instructions specially available for a Taleb (student). It refers to a
person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a
Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and also known as a Salik
(Arabic: ‫)َس اِلك‬. A murid is an initiate in the mystic philosophy of
Sufism and all these details of advice by the spiritual master
Khaja Naseeruddin Chirag Dehlavi are included in this book, and
there are some great achievements also given in this magazine
which are not known to the general person which are written in a
very interesting style, so for this reason the readers will be greatly
interested in this.
Once the readers start reading this magazine’s first page they will
not stop reading it till they reach its last page, as in this magazine
some interesting events, great miracles and endeavours of holy
saints are included who passed away from the world some one
thousand years ago.
Even though this is a small magazine, but it is so important due
to coverage of many interesting events and information in it so it
is like an ocean of knowledge and information of holy saints who
have passed away from the world upon doing great endeavours
and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in
foreign lands. So, though this book is small it presents an ocean of
977

This book is edited and formatted as per the great book Muslim
Saints and Mystics (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al din Attar) which
is very famous in the Western world among English-speaking
persons. For this reason there will be some small differences in it
while comparing with Urdu books and literature. The aim of this
magazine is to present it in the Western world where there is great
demand for books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who
lived and spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation
of the Islamic religion in all corners of the world as per the
traditions and practices of Allah’s last prophet.
To write about this great Sufi master is not only difficult, but a
very hard task as he was a great and pious personality of his time
in the Indian subcontinent.
The Title of Chiragh

In brief he was a great saint of his time in the Indian subcontinent
who made many great endeavours for the preaching and
propagation of Islam in the city of Delhi upon becoming the
caliph of Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya, and afterwards he became
well known not only in Delhi but in other adjoining and distant
territories, there being no other such personality during his time.
There are several stories as to how he obtained the title of
Chiragh, or “lamp”. One state that at the time of his building a
water reservoir for the poor, Sultan Ghiyasuddin ordered all oil
supplies to the shrine building to be stopped, so that the work
could not be carried out at night. However, Khwaja Nasiruddin
performed a miracle by transforming water into oil for the lamps,
and the reservoir was built on schedule.
Another says that once he entered the meeting place of his
Murshid (master) and other Sufis, he did not want to sit where he
was shown, as it would mean facing his back to some of those
gathered. But Nizamuddin Auliya told him, “A Chiragh (lamp)
978
has no back; it sheds its light in all directions”.
Quotes:
1. A good intention is needed for all activities.
2. A morsel earned in business is a good thing.
3. The quest of the world with good intention is the quest of the
lasting life.
4. People have forsaken the Quran and tradition, so they suffer.
5. The best prayer is to keep people happy.
It is my great honour and pleasure to translate this great book

from Urdu into English, so I request the readers to read this book
added for which I shall be highly obliged.
In the preface of the book Tadhkirah al-Awliya (Muslim Saints
and Mystics), Attar mentions three books which he recommends
pronouncements of the Sufis, but in this book also there are many
1
1
Discussion about the Murshid and the Disciples
When the honour of kissing the feet of the Sheikh was available,
then at that time Moulana Mohammed Musawa, Moulana
Minhajuddin, Moulana Baderuddin and other pious persons were
present there in the service of the Sheikh. Then the Sheikh said
with his holy tongue:
Oh, Darwesh persons on the path of Saluk (mysticism), such a

person is called the Pir (spiritual master) who has control on the
innermost of the disciple. In every moment and all the time he
979
should find the solutions of the disciple’s difficulties of the

innermost and manifestation. He should clean the mirror of his
innermost. If he will possess such capability, then he is called a
saint of Tariqa (spiritual), otherwise he is nothing.
Afterwards Khaja Saheb said, “Such a person is called Murid

Sadiq (true disciple), who will follow whatever are the
instructions given by his master.” He should see whatever the
Murshid will show him. He should think his Murshid always
Hazir (present) and a Nazir (spectator). Whatever will be good
and bad thoughts coming into the mind should be discussed by the
Murshid. The Pir should train him in this. If there is even a small
thought against the Pir, then he will not be called a true disciple.
Afterwards he said that in the beginning when he became the
Murid (disciple) of Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya, one day he was
present at the meeting place. At that time the discussion about the
disciples started. The Sheikh said with his holy tongue that among
Darwesh and dear persons the disciple should possess good
capability and knowledge like Moulana Naseeruddin Mahmood.
Afterwards, he said as per the requirement of this discussion in
the book Monis-al Ashqain, it is mentioned that there are two
kinds of disciples, who are as follows:
1. Rasmi (formal); and

2. Haqiqi (real).
The Rasmi disciple is such a person, who will follow the spiritual
master’s instructions and will remain in the Jamat al-Sunnat (the
group of followers of the prophet of Allah) and understand the
following things upon the teaching of the spiritual master:
1. The things which were seen and unseen by him; and

2. The things which were heard and not heard from him.
980
The haqiqi murid is such a person, who, when the Pir instructs
him to participate in safar (travel) and kizer (halt), will follow
such instructions.
The Haqiqi Murid and Bathing

Afterwards, the Sheikh said with his holy tongue that in the
following conditions the real disciple will take the following
baths:
1. The bath of Shariah;

2. The bath of Tariqat; and
3. The bath of Haqiqat.
The bath of Shariah is to clean his body from Janabat (pollution

resulting from coition), and the bath of Tariqat (the mystic way) is
to adopt Tajarad (solitude) life. The bath of Haqiqat is the
repentance of Batani (the innermost).
Upon this, on this occasion Khaja Saheb said the other
condition of the real disciple is that he will believe immediately
whatever his Murshid says to him. He should not keep any doubt
in his mind, because the Murshid is like a guide for the disciple.
He will say whatever will be required for his perfection. Then the
Sheikh told the event which is as follows.
Once, one person who was present in the service of Sheikh
Shibli and asked him to make him his disciple. So he was
accepted and the Sheikh told him that he would accept him, but he
should act upon his instructions, to which that person agreed. The
Sheikh asked him how to recite this phrase of the Islamic creed:
La Ilha illa Muhammed ur Rasool Allah. Then Sheikh Shibli
asked him to recite, La Ilha illa Shibli Rasool Allah. As the
disciple was having the correct faith, he did as per the instruction
of the Sheikh. So Khaja Saheb said, “My dear, he is the lowest
servant of the prophet of Allah. The prophet is only the Rasool
(messenger) of Allah. But he was testing his faith only.”
981
Prostration is Illegal to all except Allah

Afterwards, a discussion about prostration started and he said
with his holy tongue that prostration is illegal to all except Allah.
As per the saying of the holy prophet of Allah, “Min sajda ba
ghaire Allah faqad kufer.” It means one who prostrates to anyone
except Allah will become an infidel. But in the earlier Ummat
(nations) prostration was regarded as lawful for the following
persons:
1. Parents;
2. Saints;
3. Teachers; and
4. Kings.
But when the period of the last prophet of Allah was coming
then the permissibility of prostration was done away with and it
was left as supererogatory. As keeping fast during the period of
baiz (On the dates of the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every month) was
obligatory for the earlier nations, but during the holy period of the
prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) it was no more
obligatory and left as supererogatory.
In the same way the permissibility of prostration was not there
any more and it was left as supererogatory only. So this way,
prostration will not make any person an infidel.
2
Discussion about Repentance
The wealth of kissing the feet of the Sheikh was available to me.
Moulana Kamaluddin, Moulana Baderuddin and other pious
persons were present at the meeting place. A Discussion started
about repentance. The Sheikh told all with his holy tongue, “Oh,
Darwesh persons, the best and finest repentance will be deemed
982
when the person who did repent for any work and then never went
near that thing. If he will not do repentance like that then such
repentance is not useful and good.” Afterwards he said, “On the
way of mysticism if there will be such repentance, then it will
become right, so when the penitent will touch the earth then it will
become gold.”
So it is said that when Khaja Fazil bin Ayaz did repent, then he
returned all the goods taken in a robbery to all concerned persons
to whom the goods belonged, and he made an apology to some
persons on this, and among them there was one Jew who was not
accepting his regret in this matter. When he requested the Jew to
forgive him, the Jew told him to convert one fist of the earth
under his feet into gold, then he would agree to forgive him in this
matter. So Khaja Saheb gave the earth under his feet to the Jew
which was immediately converted into gold. Upon seeing this the
Jew immediately became a Muslim and said that actually that
person was penitent, so from the touch of that person the particles
of the earth were converted into gold.
The Six Kinds of the Repentance

On this he said, “Oh, Darwesh persons, as heard by spiritual
master Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya, there are six kinds of
repentance which are as follows.”
1. Repentance by the tongue;

2. Repentance by the eye;
3. Repentance by the ear;
4. Repentance by the hand;
5. Repentance by the feet; and
6. Repentance by the soul.
Then he said that repentance by the tongue is to keep the

tongue from uncultured and absurd talking, and also away from
such talking which is not suitable for him. Also make fresh
983
ablution and pray two rakats as thanksgiving, sitting in the

direction of Kaba and praying to Allah as follows: “Oh, Lord of
the worlds, give repentance to the tongue from absurd talking and
keep it away from all such things except your Zikar
(remembrance of Allah).”
Afterwards he said, “Oh, Darwesh persons, I have seen in the
magazine of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti that in the morning time the
seven parts of the human body request their tongues which is as
follows: “Oh, tongue, if you keep yourself safe, then we will be
safe and secured. If you do not understand it, then we all will be
killed.”
Repentance from the desires of the Soul

Afterwards, he said, “Khaja Haruni wrote in his magazine that
in all parts of the human body there are lust and greed which will
be a veil for him. Until and unless there is repentance from these
lusts and greed he never will reach a position of power.” The
details of the human body parts are as follows:
1. The eyes, which have the power of lust;

2. The hand, which has the power to touch and hold anything;
3. The ears, which have the power of hearing;
4. The nose, which has the power of smell;
5. The throat, which has the power of tasting;
6. The tongue, which has the power of talking;
7. The body, which has the power of touching; and
8. Consciousness and wisdom, which have the attribute of good
and bad deeds.
Afterwards, he said, “That repentance is better which is done

before death. As per the saying of the prophet, “Ajlu salat qabal
faut wa ajal bil touba qabal maut.” Its meaning is to perform
prayer before its lapse. To make haste for repentance before
death.”
984
Afterwards he said, “The man should think that today is better,

because we cannot get such time for us for tomorrow.”
Afterwards Khaja Qutub narrated some couplets of Persian

poetry in which the importance of time and its better utilization
were described.
Upon finishing the details of the above benefits, Khaja Saheb
engaged himself in the remembrance of Allah, so the well-wisher
left the meeting place.
3
Discussion about Engagement
The wealth of kissing the feet of Khaja Saheb was available to me

and Moulana Zainuddin, Moulana Minhajuddin, and other pious
persons were present at the meeting place.
At that time he told all with his holy tongue, “Darwesh persons, a
Taleb Haq (student) should always busy himself day and night in
the remembrance of Allah, whatever be the condition in which he
lives. Because the period of life is very short.” As one pious
person says, we should endeavour in this till we are alive.
Then he said, “It was heard by Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya that
there are seven times of remembrance of Allah. In the daytime
there are three, and in the night there are four times.
The day timings are as follows:
1. From morning to Israqh

2. From Israqh to Chast; and
3. From Asr prayer to Maghrib (sunset) prayer.
The night timings are as follows:
1. From Maghrib (sunset) prayer to Eisha (night) prayer;

2. From Eisha prayer to Tahajud (supererogatory in the early
985
hours of the morning) prayer;

3. From Tahajud prayer to Kazib (evanescent light before
daybreak) morning; and
4. From Kazib morning to Sadiq (dawn) morning.
Afterwards he said that he had seen in the book Mahboob

Ashqin in which it was written that a Fariq Mashgol is that person
one who busies himself by the innermost and manifestation in the
remembrance of Allah, and who is free from other than Haq
(Allah).
The Method of Cleansing of the Innermost

Afterwards, he said the Sheikh of the Islam Khaja Yousuf Chisti
wrote in his magazine that the Darwesh people should make the
following five things compulsory for themselves which are as
follows, so that there will be cleansed of the innermost available
to them.
1. Miswak (toothbrush).
2. Reading of the Quran, and if not able to read then reciting
Sura Iqlas.
3. To keep perpetual fasting, and if not possible, then to keep
fast on the days of Baiz.
4. To sit in the direction of Qibla.
5. To live always in the condition of ablution.
Afterwards discussion about what the four worlds are started.

He said with his holy tongue that in the world of mysticism if the
Darwesh person did not know about the four worlds, then he was
not a Darwesh person but was falsely claiming to be a Darwesh
person. So for this reason he is not eligible to wear the saintly
dress.
The Four Worlds

986
Afterwards, he said he had seen in the recitals of the Sheikh of

Islam Khaja Bahauddin that the four worlds are as follows:
1. Nasut
2. Malkut
3. Jabrut; and
4. Lahut.
The details of the above worlds are given by him as follows.
1. The world of Nasut belongs to the animals.

2. Their actions depend upon the following five senses: eating,
drinking, smell, seeing, and hearing.
When the mystic person will pass through this world by doing
mystic exercises, endeavours and with these attributes, then he
will reach to the world which is called Alam Malkut (the angelic
world) and which is known as the world of the angels where the
following actions are available.
1. Tasbih (glorification of Allah)

2. Tahlil (declaration of God’s unity by pronouncing La ilaha
illallah)
3. Qiyam (standing)
4. Ruku (genuflexion)
5. Sujud (prostration)
And when one who pass through the above worlds, then he will
reach the 3rd world which is called the world of Jabrut (heaven).
This is the world of souls. The actions of this world are as follows
and which are known as attributes of Hamida (laudable).
1. Shouq (fervour)
2. Zauq (passion)
987
3. Love
4. Istaiq (fondness)
5. Demand
6. Ecstasy
7. Intoxication
8. Sahu (normal condition)
9. Majad (glory) and Mahu (engrossed)
When one who will pass through these attributes, then he will
reach the world of Lahut (world lying beyond space and time) and
which is a world of no identity. At that time he became unrelated
to him. So it is called world of Lamakan (throne of God) and
where there is no conversation and no endeavours are found there.
As per Quran in which it is available “ Enna ela rabbaka al-
Muntaha.”
Then he said “ Oh: Darwesh the world of the Nasut is attributed
of the soul and the world of Malkut (angelic world) are attributes
of the heart, the world of Jabrut (heaven) are attributes of the soul,
and the world of Lahut (world lying beyond space and time) are
attributes of Allah. So in each and every thing there is proper
position and status is there and having its attributes in it. So the
soul attracts this world which belongs to the place of the Satan.
The heart is attracted of the perpetual paradise. The soul demands
Rehman (The Merciful) and also demands the un-disclose secrets.
One who follows the mind will go to the hell. One who follows
the heart will go to the heaven. One who follows his soul, then he
will be eligible for the nearness of Allah. In this situation he was
reciting Rubai (quatrain) of Sheikh Shuhabuddin Saherwardi and
its meaning and interpretation is as follows.
“ One who follows the heart will go to the heaven. One who
follows his soul, then he will be eligible for the nearness of
Allah.”
When the Sheikh of Islam ended these benefits and he engaged
himself in the prayers so for this reason the well-wisher left the
988
meeting place.

Discussion about the Zikar of Allah
The wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available
to me. Some Darwesh persons and other pious persons and
Moulana Baderuddin, Moulana Minhajuddin and Meeran Syed
Mohammed were present at the meeting place. He told all with his
holy tongue, “Oh, Darwesh, the mystic person should understand
that the original life is that which should be spent in the
remembrance of Allah, and if it is other than this, then it will be
deemed as death stage by stage.” As per the saying of the prophet
of Allah, “Kul nafs yuqraj baghair zikar Allah fahuwa mayyat.” It
means the breath which is spent without the Zikar of Allah is
death. Life is that which is spent in the Zikar of Allah. In this
situation he said one Persian couplet which explains the meaning
and interpretation as follows.
“The breath which is spent without Zikar of Allah is death, and
life is that which is spent in the Zikar of Allah.” One should not
keep away from the Zikar of Allah. So for this reason one should
always be engaged in every place in the Zikar of Allah. So Allah
says, “Fazkerallah qiyaman wa qadun wa janubikum.” It means
while standing, sitting and at the time of sleeping we should
remember Allah. “So, Darwesh, you should engage in all your
breaths in the Zikar of Allah. And no breath should be spent in
carelessness and without the Zikar of Allah.”
Afterwards, he said this type of remembrance is obligatory
and which should always be done. So one should busy oneself in
Zikar of “La ilaha ilal-lah Mohammedur rasool Allah.” In this
connection the prophet of Allah’s saying is: “Min lam yaud fard
daim lan yaqbal farzal maut.” It means one who does not fulfil
his obligations perpetually then Allah will not accept his timely
obligatory prayers.
989
There are four kinds of timely obligations as follows:
1. Prayer;
2. Fasting;
3. Zakat;
4. Hajj; and
5. The perpetual obligation mentioned as follows: Lā ilāha illā-
llāh, Muhammadun rasūlu-llāh (There is no god but God,
Muhammad is the messenger of God.)
So, the student, who is also known as a Salik, should not neglect
his perpetual obligation in this matter. In this situation the Sheikh
quoted the saying of Khaja Maudud Chistis that a man while
taking in the breath and breathing out should always remember
the Zikar of Allah. With this perpetual Zikar of Allah there will be
a possibility of correcting the human heart. As per the saying of
the prophet of Allah, “Be kulli shai musaqila al-qalab zikar Allah
tala”, which means that for everything, there is cleansing, and so
for cleansing of the heart the thing is there, and it is called Zikar
(invocation) of Allah.
The Methods of Remembrance of Allah

He said that there are some Darwesh persons whose tongue is
like that of a Salik and their hearts are engaged in the Zikar of
Allah. So for this reason they are able to hear with their ears.
Afterwards he said he heard from the holy tongue of Khaja
Nizamuddin Auliya that there are two kinds of Zikar, which are as
follows:
1. Zikar Khafi; and

2. Zikar Jali.
The disciple should first follow the Zikar Jali and then Zikar
Khafi. The Zikar Jali is related to the tongue, and with the tongue
990
this Zikar of Jali should be increased. So due to the increase of

Zikar Jali then one should able to get Zikar of Khafi (low
remembrance of Allahs’s name).
Zikar Khafi is as follows: recite three times “Lā ilāha illā-llāh”,

and the fourth time say “Muḥammadun Rasūlu-llāh”, and one
should say “Lā ilāha illā-llāh” five times, and the sixth time one
should say “Muḥammadun Rasūlu-llāh”.
So then he said, “At the time of Zikar one should keep his hands
on his knees and move the head from the right to the left side and
think that except Allah everything should be removed from the
heart.”
Again, he should move the head from the right to the left side
and say “Lā ilāha illā-llāh”, and at the time of saying, “Illā-
llāhhe” one should think that, except Allah there is no God. He
should engage himself in the Zikar of Allah. He should do such
Zikar of Allah so much that he should hear the Zikar of Allah
with his ears. This method is called Zikar Jali.
Now hear the details of Zikar of Khafi. The Sheikh of the
world, Khaja Farid al-Haq wrote that in Zikar of Khafi one should
engage in this Zikar of Allah by holding his breath. If he finds
difficulty than he should breathe slowly by through his nose, but
keep his mouth closed. Due to these acts there will be a possibility
of the cleansing of the heart. Difficulty in breathing is harder than
the difficulty of the problem of fire: the filth around the heart will
be destroyed by the fire and it will become black and then the
heart will become clear.
There is Wisdom in Eating Less

Afterwards, he said there is wisdom in eating and sleeping
less. I asked him how much we should eat. As per the saying of
the prophet of Allah, “Be yanbagi al-salik taglil al-tam.” The
mystic person should eat moderately. If a man is hungry and he
needs two breads, then he should eat one bread only. He should
991
not eat too much so that laziness prevails upon him. Again, he
said that in the saying of the prophet, “Inna al himka al filqalab
aljai walu kana karifan la siyan.” No doubt there is wisdom in the
hungry heart, whether that person may be an infidel person or not.
It will be especially so with the people of the faith of Islam.
The Narrations of Learned Persons

It is a must for the mystic person to keep fasting because there
is much excellence in fasting. In this situation he said the Sheikh
of Islam Fairdal Haq said, “The Salik (student) should
compulsorily know that unless he follows the following two
things he will not reach any high position.”
1. Tazkia (purification) and Tasfia (reconciliation).

2. Tajilia (splendour).
And there will no jewels of mysticism in him because the above

are required for the following:
1. Tariqat (the mystic way); and

2. Haqiqat (truth).
Due to Tazkia Nafs (purification of mind), Shariah (Islamic law)

will available which will depend upon the following things:
1. Prayer;
2. Fasting; and
3. To be always engaged in Zikar Jali.
Due to Tasfia Dil (reconciliation of the heart), Tariqat (the

spiritual path) will be available which will depend upon the
following things:
1. Prayer;
992
2. Fasting; and
3. To be engaged in the Zikar of Khafi in every breath.
When there is Tajlia (reconciliation) of the soul, then seven

jewels which are the treasure of the heart will be enlightened
there.
From the first jewel, the light of Zikar will be available. The
identification of this will be that he will be disgusted with the
existence of all things. Then the jewel of love will appear there
whose identification is as follows:
1. Shauq (fervour);
2. Esteiaq (fondness);
3. Sympathy;
4. Grief; and
5. Bekhudi (rapture).
Due to the above things the man will desire the willingness and
desire of Allah. Then the jewel of love (gohar mohabat) will
appear whose identification is as follows.
1. To empty the heart from the love of the unrelated.

2. To be content always in every condition for the willingness of
Allah.
Then the jewel of secrets (Gohar Sir) will appear there and its
identity is that he will be able to know the occurrence (Wardat)
due to the bounty of Allah (Mawahid Ilahi).
Then the jewel of the soul (Gohar Roah) will appear there and its
identity is that the mystic person will become unaware of the
existing things.
In this situation he said that when the man reaches this
position, then he will reach the position of Haqiqat (truth) and at
the end he will be attached with divine lights. At that time he was
993
able to see 18,000 worlds in between two of his fingers, in which

he will endeavour in the Qudrat Haq (divine power) and as per his
fate he will drown in this river. He will get the result as per his
endeavours and trials in this. So one should not keep this benefit
to himself.
Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of Allah, so the well-
wisher and all other persons left the meeting place.

Discussion about Prayer Timings
The wealth of kissing the feet of the Sheikh was available to me

and at that time Moulana Mohammed Musawa, Moulana
Minhajuddin, Moulana Baderuddin and other devotees were
present at the meeting place. He said with his holy tongue that the
names (prayers) are to be performed at the scheduled times as
their attributes are so many that they cannot be explained. He said
that in the book Salwat Masudi there is a reference which was
narrated by Imam Baquer that prayers should be performed at the
scheduled times. So the time should not become Makro
(disapproved, though not unlawful things) as the prayer will then
become illegitimate.
He said he had seen in the book Hujjat Muslimin that the
prayers should be performed at the scheduled times and so they
will be accepted and honoured in the court of Allah.
The schedule of obligatory prayers is as follows.
1. The Fajr (morning) prayer, from the morning of Sadiq (dawn)

to the rising of the sun.
2. The Zuhar (afternoon) prayer, from the decline of the day to
becoming double the shadow of the sun.
3. The Asar (late afternoon) prayer, from the end of the
994
afternoon till sunset.

4. The Maghrib (sunset) prayer, from sunset to the decline of
Shafaq (the redness in the horizon in the evening).
5. The Eisha (night) prayer, from the end of the evening to dawn
(Sadiq) time.
Afterwards, he said he heard from Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya

that the prophet of Allah performed three kinds of prayers.
1. The timely prayers.

2. The prayers of the reasons.
3. The prayers of the un-reasons.
The details of the prayers are as follows.
1. Five obligatory prayers, viz. Fajr (morning) prayer, Zuhar

(afternoon) prayer, Asar (late afternoon) prayer, Maghrib
(sunset) prayer, Eisa (night) prayer.
2. Three supererogatory.
3. Chaste (mid-morning) prayer.
4. Awabin (Salat al-Awwabin consisting of 2, 4, 6 or 8 Rakta;
the prayer to be prayed after sunset to be of 6 or 8 Rakat).
5. One more prayer is there which is performed on the first of
the month.
The prayers which are performed once in the year are as follows.
1. Two Eid prayers.

2. The Taraweh prayer (special night prayers in Ramadan).
3. Shab-e-Barat prayer.
Afterwards, he said the prayers which are mentioned above

belong to the category of time.
995
The prayers of reasons are as follows.
1. Estaqsa (for the rain) prayer.

2. Prayer of lunar and solar eclipses.
The prayer which does not belong to the categories of time and
reason is as follows.
1. The prayer of glorification, which can be performed at any

time.
Those who want to pray for thanks of actions should follow the
method of performing this prayer of two Rakat of thanksgiving at
the time of dawn after fresh ablution and read the following verse.
After this, pray two rakats of prayer of Sunnat as follows.
1. Recite Alam Nashera in the first Rakat after Sura Fateha.

2. Recite Alma Tarah in the second Rakat after Sura Fateh.
After this prayer, read the following supplication.
For this prayer the time till sunrise was considered important.
Then one should perform the Israq (mid-morning) prayer and
engage in the remembrance of Allah. Then one should perform
996
the Chast (mid-morning) prayer of 12 Rakat with three Salam as

follows.
In the first four Rakat recite Enna.

In the first rakat recite Enna Usana.
In the second rakat recite Enna Arsalna.
In the third rakat recite Enna Anzalna.
In the fourth rakat recite Enna Atana.
In the other four Rakat follow the method below.
In the first Rakat recite Washams.

In the second Rakat recite Walail.
In the third Rakat recite Wazzuha.
In the fourth Rakat recite Alam Nashrah.
Of the remaining four Rakat recite four Qul.
When the shadow of the sun declines perform four Rakat of

the prayer of Zawal. In the Zuhar (afternoon) Sunnah four prayers
recite four verses of Qul.
Afterwards, he said he had seen in the book Hujjat Islam that
one who recites Sura Am five times after Asar (late afternoon)
prayers, then he will become a slave of the love of Allah.
Afterwards, he said the Sheikh of the Islam Khaja Mohammed
Chisti said to perform the prayer of Awabin of 20 Rakat after the
sunset prayer, and in it to recite from the Quran whatever he
knows. Then, in prostration, he said to read the following
supplication three times.
“Allahumma arzaqni tubatu tuwajab mahabatik fe qalbi ya mubin
tawabin.”
997
Afterwards, he should perform two Rakat of prayer of Hifzil

Eman as follows.
In the first rakat recite Sura Iqlas seven times and Sura Nas once.
After the prayer to prostrate and recite the following supplication
three times.
“Ya hai ya qaum tabitni al eman” and hope that with this prayer,
Allah will grant him Eman (faith) and his breaths will be passed
with thrift.
Afterwards he said he saw in the book Israr Auliya that one who
prays two Rakat of Roshani Chasam for the safety of the eyes as
follows then his eyesight will get such perfection that he will be
able to see the stars in the daytime.
In every rakat recite Enna Atna three times after Sura Fateha and
prostrate and recite the following supplication.
“Mustagani be sanu wa basrei wajal waris.”
He said he had heard from the holy tongue of Sultan Mashaiq
Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya that one who should perform the
prayer of Ashiqin in the midnight time with the fresh ablution as
follows.
In the first Rakat after the Fateha verse recite Sura Ayut al Kursi
thrice.
In the second Rakat after the Fateha verse recite Sura Iqlas five
times.
In the third Rakat, recite Amana Rasul.
In the fourth Rakat recite Sura Iqlas three times.
After salam recite the following supplication.
998
The Timings of Waking Up During the Night

He said there are different views on the matter of the time of
waking up. Some learned persons used to wake up in the first part
of the night and others used to sleep in the first part of the night
and wake up in the middle of the night and engage in the worship
of Allah, which is the best method in this matter. So it was the
habit of the Sheikh of Islam Nizamuddin Auliya who used to
wake up in the middle of the night and there was a muezzin (one
who calls for prayer in the mosque) available to him so he used to
perform the Eisha (night) prayer at that time till the morning. He
used to wake up and be engaged all the time in the following
things.
1. Recitation of Quran.
2. Prayer.
3. Zikar (remembrance of Allah).
4. Fikar (thinking).
Afterwards, he said in the olden times the learned persons used

to be engaged in these activities so they were able to get nearness
to Allah. Even though there will be favour of Allah which will be
sent down, but we should try harder and make endeavours in this
matter.
Saheb engaged himself in the remembrance of Allah, so the well-
wisher and all other persons left the meeting place.

999
Memorization of the Quran
Discussion about the memorization of the Quran started. The

wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available to
me. Other mystic persons were present in the meeting. The Sheikh
told all with his holy tongue:
Oh, Darwesh persons, the reading of the holy Quran is such a

worship which is better and superior than other worships. For
whatever is there in this world and what is available in the other
world, the recitation of the holy Quran is the best thing. When
there is this type of situation and this condition prevails then the
Muslim persons should not ignore this grace and should not
neglect it for this purpose.
Afterwards, he said that he had seen in the book Hujjat Islam that
it was written that the heart in which the Quran is available will
be free from sin and greed.
He said he had heard from the holy tongue of the Sheikh Islam
Nizamuddin Auliya that there are two benefits of recitation of
holy Quran which are as follows.
1. There will be no decrease of eyesight and there will be no pain

in the eyes.
2. For each and every time of recitation of the holy Quran there
will be a reward for the worship of 1,000 years, and the same
number of sins will be removed in the record book of deeds of the
reader of the Quran.
He said he had seen in the book Misbah al-Arwah that it was

written that when the Hafiz Quran (Quran-knower) will die then
his soul will be put into the lantern of light, and with the divine
light it will get the nearness of Allah 1,000 times.
Afterwards, he said that the Hafiz Quran persons without doubt
1000
will be getting the reward of heaven and they will get light
separately. So it is said that on the day of judgement there will be
divine lights for one time for all the prophets and pious persons. I
asked that if it is not memorized then what is the order about the
reading of the holy book by seeing it. He said it is good, and from
this there will be a good effect for the eyes and for each and every
word there will be a reward of the worship of 100 years will be
recorded in his book of deeds.
To Recite Sura Yousuf for the Memorisation of the holy

Quran
He said later that he had seen in the book Dalil Salikin that it
was written that if anybody wanted to memorize the Holy Quran
then he should recite the verse Yousuf always so that the blessing
of Allah will be there for the reading of this verse, and then he
will be able to memorize the Quran.
He then said that Sheikh of Islam Khaja Moin al-Haq said he
had heard that Khaja Abu Yousuf Chisti did not memorize the
Quran, and one night he was sleeping in a condition of worry and
had seen the prophet of Allah in his dream who asked him why he
was so worried. He told him that he was worried for not having
memorized the Quran.
The prophet told him that he should recite the verse Yousuf
always so that Allah’s blessing will be there for reading this verse,
then he would be able to memorize the Quran. And in his last
years he used to recite the holy Quran five times daily, then get
engaged in other work.
He said that the Sheikh of Islam Qutub al-Haq did not
memorize the Quran in his early days and for this reason he used
to worry and be upset. One night he was sleeping in this condition
of worry and saw the prophet of Allah in his dream, and he put his
eyes on his feet and requested him and presented his problem. He
1001
told him he was worried for not having memorized the Quran.
The prophet told him he should recite the verse Yousuf always so
the blessing of Allah will be there for the reading of this verse,
then he will be able to memorize the Quran.
Saheb went into his room and was engaged there in the
remembrance of Allah, so the well-wisher and all other persons
left the meeting place.

Discussion about Love
The wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available
to me. At that time Moulana Baderuddin, Moulana Minhajuddin,
Moulana Musavi, Meeran Syed Mohammed and other devotees
were present at the meeting place. He said with his holy tongue
that to whom Allah will give his love, then why is he related to
the love of the unrelated?
Sincerity in Love
Sincerity in love is required because in the heart in which there
will be love of Allah, then no love of the unrelated will be found
there. He said he had seen in the book Anis al-Arwah in which it
was written that there was one pious person who was in the
condition of intoxication, and in that condition, he said, “Lais li
sewak wala qalbi ba-gharib raqib.” It means that except you
nothing is there with me. And my heart is not interested in the
unrelated.
He said the position of love is greater than other conditions. For
this position such persons will become eligible who will be free
from all things and who should not care and think except about
the demand of Allah.
1002
Two Kinds of Love

He said he had heard from the holy tongue of the Sheikh of
Islam Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya that there are two kinds of love.
1. The love of the personality.

2. The love of the attributes.
The love of the personality is attached with Muwahib (kindness).

And the love of the attributes can be obtained. The personality of
the love is not attached to endeavour and actions and the thing
which is related to endeavour, so love can be done with him.
He said he had seen in the book Israr al-Arifin that it was
written that the beginner who practices love will find four things
as follows.
1. Mankind.
2. The World.
3. The mind.
4. Satan.
So to be away from mankind, one should adopt loneliness. To

be away from the world, one should follow the content. To be
away from Satan and the mind, pray to Allah in every breath.
Because these two are his two enemies who will try the Taleb and
seduce him and keep him away from the love of Allah and put
him on the love of the unrelated.
The Status of love

He said he had seen in the book Monis Arwah that it was
written that one pious person was asked by Khaja Hasan of Basra
as to in how many years he had reached the place of love. He said
that he had reached in three days as follows.
1. The first day he left the world.

1003
2. The second day the other world.

3. The third day he reached the place of love.
When the above matter was heard by Rabia of Basra, she said
that he had reached there, but very late. When she demanded the
love of Allah, then she got lost in the first step itself. In the second
step she left the other world. So in the third step she reached the
place of love.
He said the name of special love is such that for the sake of
the friend one should sacrifice his beloved thing, like the prophet
Abraham (A.S.) who wanted to sacrifice his son for the sake of
the love of Allah. Then the command of Allah came, “Oh,
Abraham you are firm in our friendship. Do not sacrifice your
son: we will send one sheep from paradise in lieu of him.
Sacrifice the sheep and leave your son.”
Then Khaja Saheb began weeping so much that he became
unconscious. When he regained his consciousness, he said that in
love one who is so true that even if he is cut into pieces or if he is
put into a fire he should still be firm in these conditions. One who
is not firm in these conditions will not be found firmly in the love.
Afterwards, he said he had seen in the book Dalil Ashiqin that
it was written that when Mansour Hallaj was brought in the
bazaar and sent to the cross for his execution, he was going there
happily and he addressed the people that there are two Rakat of
love and affection, and where ablution is done by his blood. So
while standing on the cross, he was reciting, “Rakatan fil ashiq al-
wazu la badamana.” When Shibli asked what the name of
perfection in love was, he said that it was to first cut his hands and
feet and put him on the cross, then with truth and with blood, he
should make his face red for his friend.
1. The first day to kill him.

2. The second day to burn him.
3. The third day to put the ashes in the flow of water.
1004
When a person tolerates the above and is patient with these

things, then he will become eligible for the place of love. Then
Khaja Saheb wept very much and was becoming unconscious.
When he came back to a normal condition, he said, “There should
be 1,000 mercies on Khaja Mansour Hallaj, who left this world
with his firmness in love and affection.” He said once he heard
the following Rubai (quatrain) from Sultan Mashaiq Sheikh
Nizamuddin Auliya from his holy tongue as follows.
Then he told about one event in Egypt that there was one mad
person and an iron collar was put on his neck and shackles on his
feet and he was sitting in a graveyard in this condition. The
Sheikh of Islam, Abu Ali Farmadi who was passing from there
asked him to come near, and when he came forward, he said that
that night when he engaged in the remembrance of Allah, to
convey his message to his friend that his only sin was that once he
said that he would keep him as a friend, so for this an iron collar
was put on his neck and shackles on his feet. “So I swear in the
name of Your majesty that if You send the iron collars and
shackles of the seven worlds and the seven skies on my neck and
on my feet, then also my love will not be less in this.” So Khaja
Saheb wept very much on this matter.
Later, he said that once a pious person was passing through a
jungle in the summer season and one person was standing
barefoot there on a stone in the afternoon and looking at the sky in
a condition of surprise. That pious person thought it was a high
1005
level of surprise and went forward and he put his eyes on his feet.
So when that person came out of intoxication he put his hands on
his mouth and said to him that it was enough, otherwise it would
not happen that he would speak with him and there would be
modesty for him so that he would allow him to stay, and saying
this he went again in the condition of surprise.
Khaja Saheb said afterwards that love and respect are the fruits of
one tree. When there is much love, then there will be an increase
in respect.
The Condition of Amazement is a Very Superior Condition

Discussion about the condition of amazement started and
Khaja Saheb said with his holy tongue that the condition of
surprise is a very superior condition in which one gets engrossed
and gets this as per his fate. He then said that one who is in the
condition of amazement will always live in the following
conditions.
1. Amazement.
2. Intoxication.
3. He will be drowned in the creation of the divine power (qudrat
of Haq).
If he stands, then he will be in the condition of remembrance of

the friend. If he is in a sleepy and sitting condition then he will be
engaged in watching the game of the friend’s Qudrat (divine
power) and greatness. If he is awake, then he is near the veil of
the greatness of the friend.
Then Khaja Saheb said that when the person by surprise, says
the morning prayer, he will stay there till sunrise. With this they
want to be accepted in the eyes of the friend.
Afterwards, he said, had seen that in the book Dalil Arifin it
was written that one pious person was looking at the sky in a
condition of intoxication in which he was seeing that the
1006
empyrean was asking the chair and the chair was asking the
empyrean what was its condition. When the pious person saw this
he said a slogan and fell down and was becoming unconscious.
When he was back in the condition of consciousness, one of his
disciples who was standing near him asked, “Oh, Sheikh, what is
your condition? What is the reason for such great fear in you?” He
said, “Dear, there is a case of intoxication, so its condition is there
upon him.” So he said he was able to know that the things which
were created from the empyrean to the earth and all those things
are attached and are drowned in the attributes of Allah, so all are
in the condition of the intoxication, and he was shivering due to
fear for this reason. When he came to know this, then he began
weeping and said it was a case of surprise and amazement.
Afterwards Khaja Saheb recited the couplet from Masnavi of
Nizami with his holy tongue as follows.
When Khaja Saheb recited the above couplet I requested him to

then he said to recite it. I recited the following poem.

When the author of the book recited the above poem, then Khaja
Saheb began weeping and said, “Oh, Darwesh, he remembers it
very well,” and he praised me much in this matter and gave me
the following gifts.
1. Raincoat.
2. Four-cornered Turkey cap.
Afterwards, he said that Allah sees and knows well about the

His manifestation.

Allah, so the well-wisher and all the other persons left the meeting
place.

Discussion about Sama (Ecstasy)
1008
A discussion about Sama started. The wealth of the kissing of

the feet of the Sheikh was available to me. At that time Moulana
Masavi, Moulana Qiyamuddin, Moulana Baderuddin and other
devotees were present at the meeting place. Khaja Saheb said with
his holy tongue that he had heard from the holy tongue of the
Sheikh of Islam Nizamuddin Auliya that there are four kinds of
Sama as follows.
1. Halal (legitimate).
2. Haram (illegitimate).
3. Makru (bad).
4. Mubah (lawful).
Explanation of the above Kinds

Khaja Saheb said that if the heart of a person in Sama is more
towards Allah then the Sama is Mubah (lawful), and if it is
towards the Mejaz (worldly) then it is Makru (bad). If the heart is
towards Allah completely then it is Halal, and if it is towards
Mejaz then it is illegitimate.
Then he said that when the voice is suitable then how will it
become Haram (illegitimate)? The Sheikh of Islam Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti said about Sama that it is Sar Haq (the secret of
reality)
Khaja Saheb said, “There are beastly (Haiwani) attributes in the

world which change with the personality of the man. And the
attributes of human beings will become overwhelming in his
1009
heart. So there will be overpowering of love and there will be

movement due to frightfulness. At that time the secrets of the
innermost will be disclosed to the person. For this reason there
will be fervour in him so he will begin dancing.” Here, he quoted
one Persian couplet whose meaning and interpretation are as
follows.
“If a sight of the bride of the lover is found in the green dress,
then there is no fault of the peacock of the heart which is engaged
in the dance.”
He said that in the book of the prophet’s sayings Sahih al-
Bukhari it is mentioned that one slave girl was playing on the daf
(small tambourine) before Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (R.A.) and Abu
Baker Siddiq (R.A.) prohibited her. The prophet of Allah said,
“Do not prohibit them. It keeps them in the same condition.
Because Eid (festival) is available in every nation.”
He said that in the book Awarif it is written that Aisha Siddiqa
(R.A.) says that once before, her playing of music was in progress
and at that time the prophet of Allah came there and he did not
prohibit her and sat there. Umar Bin Qattab (R.A.) saw that the
prophet of Allah was hearing music and was weeping. So he also
began weeping. Usman Bin Affan (R.A.) and Ali Bin Taleb
(R.A.) saw that the prophet of Allah was hearing music and both
of them began weeping. So they also began weeping. Then the
prayer of Zuhar (the afternoon) started, so then they made
ablutions and prayed the Zuhar prayer.
Whether Sama is Halal or Haram

Khaja Saheb said once one learned person came in the
presence of the Sheikh of Islam Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya and
asked him how it was legitimate that in a gathering there is
beating of a Daf and playing of a Dansari (flute) and then Sama is
heard and at the same time there is a dance of Sufi persons. He
said Sama is not entirely Haram or entirely halal. Allah made it
legal for some persons and illegal for other persons. For those for
1010
whom it is Haram, they should not hear it. For those for whom it
is halal they should try to hear it. For the flute there is an order
without doubt of its prohibition so it should be kept away. If
somebody falls in the Islamic law from his position, then he will
also fall from the Shariah. So he who is away from the Shariah
will have no place.
Sama is the cure for a sympathetic person in gradual stages.
As there is cure of pain of the manifestation in the same way cure
of pain of the innermost is available in Sama only and there is no
other cure available. As per the saying of Imam Abu Hanifa there
is no order surely to kill the soul, so it is not legal. So grief on this
type of Sama is legal for the sympathetic people. For the
following people it is not legal in the Shariah and mystic way of
life.
1. The unsympathetic people.

2. The people of the mind.
The Jewel Changed into Blood

Khaja Saheb told of the case of one son of the king of Isfhan
who was loved too much who was always kept before his eyes
and never allowed to be kept away from him for even a single
moment.
Once by chance the king was away from the royal palace. So
the son, upon getting a chance, went to travel outside the palace.
On the way he heard the sound of music and he made a shout and
fell from his horse. The royal servants brought him immediately
to the royal palace. He was becoming sick. So doctors came from
all over the country and checked the prince, but were not able to
find the cause of his disease. Due to the effect of this disease the
prince did not eat, drink and talk and always used to be in the
condition of unconsciousness and surprise.
When he became conscious he used to say that there was a fire
in his body and he said this again and again. He would become
1011
unconscious and at last he died of this disease.

The king gave orders to check the stomach by cutting it to find
the disease of the prince. When the stomach of the prince was cut
one red stone was found in his stomach. When it was shown to the
doctors and physicians they all agreed that they did know
anything in this matter as this was not mentioned in the books of
knowledge of their profession. As the king loved the prince
greatly he gave orders to make two parts of that jewel and he
wore one and the other gem was kept in the palace.
When the king finishing the days of mourning of the prince, he
heard music, and at that time the gem of his ring melted and
changed into the blood due to the sound of the songs. When the
king saw this he was surprised. So he called the doctors and
physicians in the court and asked them the reason for this. They
said, “Oh, king, your son was a lover of music, and we did not
know this, otherwise we would have advised him to hear music
and to follow the musical mode. If he would have heard music,
then this gem would have changed into blood in his stomach, and
in this way he would have regained his health.”
Then the king gave orders to bring another gem there. When it
was brought he wore it in his ring and ordered the choristers
(Qawwals) to sing songs in the palace. When the music started the
courtiers were watching the gem of the ring of the king. When the
sound of the music started the gem began to melt and changed
into blood.
Khaja Saheb said that from this event, it was clear that Sama is
the cure of sympathetic people.
He said that if a person is a man of fervour and sympathy, then
for him one couplet of the chorister is enough, whether there is a
flute there or not. But when there is no fervour and sympathy with
a man, even then if there is a play of many changes (lutes), Dafs
(a small tambourine) and flutes before him, there will be no effect
on him.
So it is known that it is a work of sympathy which is not only
1012
related with equipments. When Khaja Saheb explained the above

details, one person told him that chorister Aziz was present at the
meeting place for the Sama. When the chorister started Sama,
Moulana Mohammed Musawa and Moulana Baderuddin were
standing there and started dancing in the meeting place and were
busy in it from the afternoon (Zuhar) prayer to the late afternoon
(Asar) prayer. The chorister was singing the following Qasida
(encomium).
The Sama finished at the time of the Asr prayer so all performed
ablution and the Asr prayer was performed there. Then Khaja
Saheb was sitting in the courtyard of the mosque and Moulana
Minhajuddin, Moulana Qiyamuddin and other pious persons were
present there. The chorister whose name was Kamal started the
sama. Khaja Saheb began dancing and he was also weeping so
there was a great effect of it on the other persons who were
present. When the Sama finished all the persons kissed Khaja
Saheb. The chorister sang the follow qasida (encomium).
1013
From the Asr prayer till the prayer of Tahajud (supererogatory in

the early hours of the morning) prayer Khaja Saheb was busy
dancing, but at the time of prayers he used to perform ablution
and perform the prayer, and after the prayer he again engaged in
dancing.
Fasting on the Dates of the 13th, 14th, and 15th of Every

Month
Discussion about the days of fasting of Baiz (fasting on the
dates of the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every month) started and
Khaja Saheb said with his holy tongue that when prophet Adam
(A.S.) was sent down from heaven to the earth then at that time he
was having the complete structure which was black in colour.
When he was praying he was asked to keep fast on the dates of
the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every month. When he first kept the
fast than one-third of the colour of his complexion was becoming
white, and from the second fast two-thirds of his complexion was
becoming white. And from the third fast he was becoming
completely white.
Khaja Saheb said that he had seen in the book Dail Arifin that
it was written that once one person asked the prophet of Allah
about the days of fasting on the Baiz days. He had heard from the
holy tongue of the Sultan of Mashaiq Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya
1014
that in the daily recitals of Sheikh Khaja Mohammed Chisti, it

was written that the prophet of Allah said, “Keep fast on the dates
of the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every month, which is like having
kept fasting the whole year.” On the day of judgement 70 persons
would be forgiven due to his sake. In the grave, when there will
be tumult there, then his face will become like the moon of the
14th night.
went into his room and engaged in the remembrance of Allah.

Excellence in Feeding the Poor
A discussion about Sama started. The wealth of the kissing of

the feet of the Sheikh was available to me. And at the time
Moulana Zainuddin, Moulana Baderuddin, Moulana Minhajuddin,
Moulana Masavi, Moulana Qiyamuddin and other devotees were
present at the meeting place.
He said with his holy tongue that the feeding of poor persons
is recommended in all religions of the world and there is no
excellence other than this. So to feed hungry persons and comfort
should be given to them to bring their hearts in the agreed
conditions.
He said once some person asked Sheikh Abul Khair to show
him the ways towards Allah. He said, “The ways are equal to all
particles of all existing things. But among those ways that way is
nearest in which there will be given comfort to the people.”
Perfection in the Way of Mysticism

Khaja Saheb said that in the book Dalil Salikin it was written
that once Khaja Hasan of Basra and Rabia of Basra were sitting
together at one place and they were discussing about mysticism.
Rabia of Basra asked him on the way of mysticism, which is the
name of perfection. Then Khaja Saheb prayed on his prayer mat
1015
while keeping it in water. Afterwards Hasan of Basra said, “Oh,

Rabia it is like that if you walk on the water you are like a straw,
and if you fly in the air then you are like a housefly. If you bring
the heart of another person in an agreeing condition then there
will be something.”
He said once some Qalanders (dauntless) persons came in the
presence of Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya and one among them said,
“Oh, Sheikh, kindly show me any miracle.” Then Khaja Saheb
asked his servant to bring food for them. It was brought and given
to the Qalanders. Then that Qalander said again what he should do
with the food, and to show him any miracle. Khaja Saheb said,
“Brother, this only is the miracle. So eat it. There is no miracle
other than this.” When the Qalanders heard this they paid respect
to him, ate the food and left the place.
Afterwards, he said he had seen in the book Hujjat al-Islam
that when the companions of the prophet used to visit the prophet,
they used to eat something at the time of their visit and then left
the place.
The Fulfillment of Desires is Better than Prayer

Khaja Saheb said Anas Bin Malik had narrated that once some
persons asked the prophet of Allah, “Is it good to give one bread
in the way of Allah, or to pray 100 Rakat?” He said to give bread.
Again, asked whether it was good to fulfil the needs of Muslim
persons or to pray 100 Rakat, he said, “To fulfil the needs of the
Muslim persons.”
He said nothing was better and there was no excellence like
giving comfort to any person.
went into his room to engage in the remembrance of Allah.
1016
10
Discussion about Leaving the World
A discussion about leaving the world started. The wealth of the

kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available to me. And at the
time Moulana Minhajuddin, Moulana Qiyamuddin, Moulana
Baderuddin and other devotees were present at the meeting place.
He said with his holy tongue “Oh, Darwesh, there is no comfort in
the house of the persons of the world. But there is comfort in the
house of Darwesh persons because the anger of Allah is there on
the people of the world.”
Khaja Saheb said he had heard from the holy tongue of Khaja
Nizamuddin Auliya that the prophet of Allah said, “Hub duniya
ras kul qatiya wa tark duniya rak kul ebada.” It means the
friendship of the world is the root cause of all sins.
Afterwards, he said “He had seen in the book Zad Husnain
that all bad deeds had been gathered in one house and its key was
made with the love of the world, and all good deeds had gathered
in one house and its key was made with giving up of the world.”
He said Khaja Abdus Salam Tastari wrote in his magazine that
“There is no such big veil of the world in between man and Allah.
So for this reason, if one loves the world more, then he will be
further away from Allah.”
To be Kept Away from the Company of the King

Khaja Saheb said that one Hakim (philosopher) passed some
days in starvation. He did not eat and drink. When he reached
near the river, he began eating the leaves of the grape tree. At that
time the people paid him much respect, getting down from their
horses, and told him, “If you work with our king then there will
be no need of eating leaves.” The wise person told them, “If you
be content with leaves, then there would be no need of the
company of kings and the desires of the world.”
He said that on the way of mysticism such persons will be called
1017
Darwesh, in whose hearts no thought would come except the

remembrance of Allah. And he should not engage in any other
thing and he should not keep relations with the people of the
world.
The author explained to the Sheikh that this slave had written
some beneficial things in this book for himself. Otherwise, what
was his position that he should write a book? Then he said, “What
then is that which will be better than this? And that whatever he
had heard from his Sheikh’s tongue, he should record all its
details not only for his benefit, but also for the benefit of other
persons. Because in this matter, I heard from the holy tongue of
my spiritual master that the prophet of Allah said, ‘Akhir al-Akhir
al-Akhir al-Mutadi.’ It means the best good deed is that with
which one should be benefited, and also there will be benefit to
other persons.”
The End.
