Preface
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts
reading this books first chapter and will not stop its reading till
they will reach its last chapter as in this book some interesting
events and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of
holy saint are added and these holy Sufi saints were passed
away from the world many centuries 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 was passed away from the
7
world upon doing his 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
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 al-
Awliya 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 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 Allahs last prophet.
To write about these great Sufi saints which were mentioned
in this small book is not only it is difficult and but it is very hard
task as they were not only great pious personalities of their
time in the Southern Indian region but they were also a great
Sufi Masters in the Southern Indian region who struggled hard
for the preaching and propagation of Islam centuries ago so in
brief among them some were Qutubs (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot at axis) of their time in Deccan (South India)
region and who did many great endeavours for the preaching
and propagation of Islam in South India and around it and there
was no such personality during their time. In this book there
are two chapters added in it.
During the year 2017 the magazine about biography, details
of Hazrat Tamim Ansari are added in this book and which is
very old and belongs to the year 75 Hegira Islamic calendar.

His one more miracle which is very famous and well known
in the city of Chennai and which even known by the boys is that
when the city of Chennai was become dark due to flood
destructions but the electric lamp which was on the mausoleum
was working well and this event was happening on 10th of
October during the year 1943 when there was heavy rain fall in
Madras city and for this reason there was great flood which was
effected the city and there were huge loss and causalities in the
city and there was cut of the power supply in the city but the
electric lamp which was on the mausoleum was working well.
This historic event and great miracle of the Sheikh was recorded
in the Fort Saint George Gazette.
It is said that on the occasion of sandal ceremony at the time
of the Urs (death anniversary) one sliver moon used to be placed

another day one poor lady has brought that silver moon and she

problems and difficulties in his life and which are mentioned in the
following paragraph. Hazrat Khaja Rahmatullah lost his mother at a very
early age after that his father Hazrat Khwaja Alam was married for the
second time. As his father was married to another lady and his step
mothers behavior was not well with him so for this reason Syed Khwaja
Rahmatullah took permission from his father and he was migrated from
his native place Bejapur to Kurnool and he settled down there in the
house of his maternal aunt and it is noted that for the above reasons
he came there from Bejapur and he was staying with a maternal aunt in
Kurnool. His maternal aunt is well known and famous for his piousness

period of time and after some time suddenly there was passion started in
14
his mind from the love of Allah. So for this reason he left his service in

Live miracle.
The news report of his great miracle has been published in daily
Urdu newspaper Rehumai Deccan Hyderabad on 12th March 1981.
Once one lorry driver Mr. Saleem was coming to Hyderabad from
Bombay and on the way in place of Jalkot one male and female cobra
snakes have come to the center of the road and for this reason the male
cobra was died suddenly due to the accident by the lorry of Mr. Saleem
on the spot and female cobra entered into the lorry cabin and she sat
there and for this reason some persons had killed her immediately.
Mr.Saleem, who was at 26 years old has came to his house in
Hyderabad and after some days his health become seriously ill and his
habits and movements were converted like cobra snake and he was
started crawling like snake and for this reason his mother took him to
many places of spiritualists for his health recovery but there was no
benefit at all.
After some time his mother has arranged the marriage of Mr. Saleem
with Miss Durdana. After marriage Mrs. Durdana has also become a
patient of the evil spirits and her habits and movements were also
converted as female cobra. Due to the serious condition of Mr. Salem
and his wife the parents were becoming upset and worried in this matter
and they took them to many places for their check up by spiritualists for
their cure and recovery but there was no benefit for them.
So as per advice of Mr. Saleems friend the couple have visited
shrine of Hazrat Khaja Rehmatulla Saheb of Rahmatabad in Nellore
district and they stayed there for some days but due to no money for the
expenses for their stay there and for this reason they were planning to
come back to Hyderabad city and at that time in the dream they got
message that they should take ration of 100 Rupees from the shop
which is opposite of the shrine for free of charge and so they have taken
ration from the above shop without payment of cost and the shop owner
did not demanded money upon the delivery to goods to them.
24
After some time they were instructed in their dream to proceed to the
shrine of Hazrat Yousuf Saheb and Shraif Saheb at Hyderabad. So they
have reached there and stayed there for some time. During their stay at
the above shrine they were further instructed in the dream to proceed
the shrine of Syed Meeran Hussaini at Lunger House .
From the resident of Mr. Saleem which is located at the first Lancer
area of the hillside they came to the shrine of Syed Meran Hussaini at
Lunger House area and at the shrine they have been advised for a bath
at the well of the shrine and after the bath both of them were taken for
the visit of the shrine for some days. In the shrine area their habits and
movements of snakes like creeping and hiss continued and for this
reason the visitors noticed their habits and movements of snakes and
this news was spread in the city so for this reason a large number of
persons came to the shrine to see them and watch their habits of snakes.
Due to the large number of visitors and gathering there was problem to
control the large number of persons in the shrine and for this reason one
police outpost was established under the supervision of the circle
inspector Mr. Ahmed Ali Khan of police station Asif Nagar and
following police men were allotted duties in the police outpost at the
shrine area.1.Mr. Ishaque.2.Mr.Abdul Razzaq.3.Mr.Abdul Razzaq.4.Mr.
S.R. Goud.
Also the above police staff watched the creeping and hiss condition of
the couple. As per the statement of policeman Mr. Abdul Razzaq that
when there will be a condition of invocation of spirits of Mrs. Durdana
then she used to say to get back her husband and then she used to climb
on the pole like snake. On the 4th February when there was a condition
of invocation of spirits on them they both said Baba now we are
going and then they slept there for some time and upon their wake up
they become normal and in perfect health due to the spiritual favour and
help of the Syed Meeran Hussaini Saheb. Upon the above problem of
evil spirits Mr. Saleem has discontinued his lorry driving work and but
upon his recovery of his good health he has continued the work of lorry
driving. And his wife Mrs. Durdana also become perfect and her health
was also improved very well by the kind blessings of the Sheikh.
25
Great miracle.
It is fact that miracles are performed by the holy and pious
personalities of Allah. And those holy and pious persons who have
ended their lives in the love of Allah and his prophet and for this reason
their name and fame will be continued till the day of judgment. From
the particles of soil of their mausoleums there will spread the spring of
Faizan (favour) and always there will be rain of Anwar (light) and
Tajilat (divine light). But my masters great miracle is that a large
number of people who will present in the shrine from various walks of
life, irrespective of caste and creed, assemble there and pray there for the
recovery of diseases and for the fulfillment of their desire and wishes
.His favour and affection is same and equally to all persons who will
present there in his court and pray there for the recovery of diseases and
fulfillment of desires.
For 239 years the people have been watching the miracles of the
Sheikh and it will be continued till the day judgement and that the
number of devotees of the shrine is not in a thousand, but it has
exceeded many millions people from various walks of life, irrespective
of caste and creed, assemble there and pray there for the recovery of
diseases or for the fulfillment of their desire and wishes. Not only from
Hyderabad but from many other places learned persons and pious
personalities also used to visit the shrine and pay their visit. I am not
wrong if I mention that the large numbers of people who visit the
shrine are included other than Muslims irrespective of caste and creed
will present in the shrine and garland the mausoleum and pay respect
and honour there. A symbol of national integration, communal harmony
and social justice.
"And He (Allah) it is who hath produced you from a single being (Al-
Qur'an-Al-Anaam-99).
As it is said in the holy Qur'an that all human beings are the offspring
of the first man (prophet Adam), there should not be any discrimination
among the people as all are equal. The Sufi-saint Hazrat Syed
Rahmatulla (R.A.) attempted to remove the barriers of caste, creed,
26
Among them those pious people one Majzob (one lost in divine
meditation) was there who has told the Nawab Sahib that there is one
personality with him and his prayers will be accepted in the court of
Allah so he was asked him to approach him because if he will pray then
his prayer will be accepted by Allah so there is no matter of worry in this
respect. So the Nawab Sahib has asked him who is that person and
asked him to explain some details in this matter so that he could be
recognize him and approach him. So the Majzob Sahib told him that he
could not identify his name but he could explain his marks so that he
could be able to recognize him and the marks are as follows.
1. In the storm his lamp will light and there will be no effect of storm on
it.
2. His horse will eat the grass and water provided by him and will not
eat the grass and water provided by others.
Upon this information one night Nawab Sahib went in the darkness
of the night to check the tents of his soldiers, and when he was reached
at the tent of Syed Khaja Rahmatullah Saheb and at that time the
Sheikh was busy in his worship and for this reason he stood there
silently. When the Sheikh has finished his worship, then Nawab Sahib
was fallen down on the foot of the great Sheikh of his time for his favour
and help in this matter.
The Sheikh has recognized the Nawab Sahib and lift him from his
foot and asked him not to touch his foot. Nawab Sahib has informed him
that for seven years there has been no rainfall and for this reason a
larger number of persons were dying due to starvation and water
scarcity. So if there will his kindness and his prayer in this matter, then
there will be sure rain fall as you are beloved of Allah and his last
prophet. And for the above reason he has requested him his
supplication for rains. It so happened that it rained heavily while the
Nawab Sahib was still on his way back home after his meeting with
Hazrat Khaja Nayeb-e-Rasool.
Upon the request of Nawab Sahib the Sheikh has prayed for the
rainfall and Allah has accepted his prayer , and for this reason there was
a great rainfall that all rivers, tanks, wells and ponds were full of water
due to his great miracle of the Sheikh of his time. The above news
28
spread throughout the area of Kurnool region and it was also reached to
the palace of Nawab Sahib. The Nawab Sahibs daughter has also come
to know the details and so she was much impressed by the personality
of the great pious person of his time and she was started thinking about
her marriage with such pious personality so that she will also become
lucky one and her status will be also improved in this matter. So for this
reason she used to pray Allah in this matter that her marriage should be
arranged with that pious personality of his time.
At night the daughter of Nawab Sahib saw in her dream that the
moon is reaching towards her and she has told the details of her dream
to her mother and her mother has told Nawab Sahib the details of her
daughters dream so Nawab Sahib has called Najumies (astrologers) in
this matter and they have informed him that the girls marriage will be
celebrated with a pious personality of his time.
So for the reason Nawab Sahibs wife told Nawab Sahib that it is
better that we will arrange the marriage of their daughter with Syed
Khaja Rahmatullah Sahib of Rahmatabad so for this reason Nawab
Sahib was become very upset and angry in this matter and told her that
We could not marry our daughter in the lower status persons family
and if we do that then our position and status will be go down and
disrespected in this matter. So for this reason this proposal in not
suitable and not good at all. So if there will be any desire in the girls
mind then ask her to remove the same.
From that day the girl began to live in sadness and grief condition
and after some days she left everything and stopped eating of the food.
So for this reason the parents were worried and upset in this matter and
asked her to leave her desire and wish but there was no effect at all. One
day the girl went into some shrine and during her prayer, she was falling
down and became un-conscious and after many cures she could not
become well and not returned back in her normal condition of health and
in those days the Sheikh heard a divine call in which it was told him to
marry the daughter of Nawab of Kurnool which is suitable for him.
Even after some days the girl was not recovered from the condition of
un-conciseness and for this reason Nawab Sahib was worried and upset
with this matter and upon his consultations with her mother and other
29
our children ,then it will be no guarantee that they will become good
and pious persons then our status and position as well as our name will
become worse. Now it is fact that the number of persons who called you
as Maji Sahiba are not one, two,100, 200,1000, 2000, but are more than
millions and who will remain till the day of judgement. On saying this
he told her to look at her backside so she has looked at her backside as
per his instruction and have seen the large numbers persons which were
there and their numbers were more than many millions so the Sheikh
has explained that all of them belongs to the following categories.
1.Disciples (Murids).2.Devotees.3.Visitors.
And all of them till the day of judgement will call you as Maji Sahiba
so you should treat all of them as your children and also all of them are
dear to me more than my children and from that day all special and
general persons used to begin calling her as Maji Sahiba. As a matter of
fact, he used to love each and every visitor of his mausoleum and
Inshallah (if Allah wills) this tradition and practice will continue till the
day of judgement.
Miracle
From the mausoleums public kitchen house daily the soup (ash) is
used to be distributed to all poor and needy persons. Once the Sheikh
was present in the mosque and the poor persons were gathered in the
public kitchen to receive the soup (ash) so for this reason Maji Sahiba
has called the Sheikh for the distribution work of soup (ash) but due to
some other work the Sheikh could not come there to distribute the soup
(ash) to the poor persons. Due to delay in this matter Maji Saheba has
called the servants of the mausoleum to bring immediately the big spoon
for the distribution of soup (ash) and the person who went to bring the
spoon but he was disappeared and could not come back there. Due to
this reason of delay of that person and delay in the distribution of soup
(ash) to the poor persons she had put her hand in the hot cauldron and
was started distribution of hot soup (ash) to the poor persons. The
Sheikh has came there later and was thought that her hand were
damaged due to hot soup (ash) distribution from the hot cauldron and
but he has found her hand was severely cold and there was such cold
that for which nobody could not bear it. Maji Sahiba has purchased 12
31
villages and has offered the same to the shrine of the Sheikh and which
are famous and well known by different names and the details are
mentioned as follows.
1.Small Habibpur.2.Big Habibpur.3.Hasinapur.4.Morabad.5.Alampur.
During Maji Sahibs life period the Sheikh left this mortal world.
Maji Saheba has arranged for making the symbol of the moon on the
mausoleum upon melting away all her jewelry and also she has
constructed the mausoleum building of the Sheikh from her money.
She has organized the arrangements to celebrate the Urs (death
anniversary) which takes place on the 24 to 29 days Rabil Awwal of
Muslim calendar at the famous Dargah (shrine) of Syed Khaja
Rahmatullah Naibe Rasool in Rahmatabad every year and also arrange
the ceremony of Sandal every year on 25th of Rabbil Awwal and this
celebration is still continued in the shrine.
Death.
She was died after 18 years of the Sheikhs death. She has instructed
that she should be buried outside of the mausoleum of the Sheikh in the
building of Milad Khana as the status and position of the Sheikh is very
high with Allah and she is not having such status and position so for this
reason it is not suitable for her burial in the mausoleum beside the grave
of the great Sheikh of his time. She left this world after 18 years of
Sheikhs death on 7th Rabbil Awwal in the year 1213 Hegira. There was
an indication from the Sheikh to the pious personalities of that time that
as his wife Habiba was very pious lady of her time, so for this reason
she should be buried at the side of his grave in the mausoleum building.
So as per his instruction she was buried at the side of the Sheikhs grave.
Every year on 7th Rabil Awwal the ceremony of the Sandal of Maji
Saheba was used to celebrate on the grand scale in which many thousand
devotees used to attend the ceremony and get Sadat (felicity) of it. The
Sandal Maali of Hazrat Syeda Habeeba Khatoon is celebrated on the
2nd or 3rd day of the Islamic month of Rabbi Al-Awwal. It also happens
to be the only time of the year when the female devotees are allowed to
enter into the inner part of the mausoleum (wherein lies the Mazars
(graves) of Syed Khwaja Rahmatullah and Maa Habeeba). The event is
32
the first among the chain of ritualistic events that are performed during
the month in commemoration of the yearly Sandal and Urs celebrations
of Hazrat Khaja Nayab-E- Rasool and Ammajan. A lot of people travel
to Rahmatabad to attend this event. Every year on the 7th, 8th and 9th
day of the Islamic month of Rabbi-UL-Awwal, the yearly Sandal and
Urs of AMMAJAN is celebrated with great religious fervour, while that
of Hazrat Syed Khaja Rahmatullah Naib-E-Rasool is celebrated on the
25th, 26th and 27th of the same month.
Conclusion.
To write about this great Sufi saint 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 area of the Deccan (South India) but he was also the great holy
person of his time who did many great miracles so in brief he was
Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time in the Deccan
region (South India).
So in brief he did also many great endeavours for the preaching and
propagation work of Islam in Deccan (South India) area and around this
region and there was no such personality during his time.
On all week days the visitors in large numbers will used to visit the
shrine and pray Allah for the fulfillment of their desires and wishes for
the sake of the Sheikhs name .
During the Urs time (death anniversary) the visitors in large number
will visit the shrine for the fulfillment of their desires and wishes for the
sake of the Sheikhs name and offer floral garlands.

his time in Deccan (South India) region and who did many great
endeavors for the preaching and propagation of Islam in South

That their hearts are not kept away them from the
remembrance of Allah in their business dealings of selling and
purchasing.
Always their hands are busy with the business, but their
hearts are busy in the remembrance of Allah. They used to live
in bazaars, but they will used to be busy with the purchase of
the pearl of singular unity (Wahidat) and such good type or
category of persons are less and not many more in the world.
One day he invited me at his house for dinner so when I went

loneliness like the name of Allah will be in the heart of the Arif
(one having an intimate knowledge of Allah.) and he had left his
wishes and desires for travel and tourism of other places of the
world from his heart.
It is said that one Sufi person who used to eat very much
food and never satisfy in this matter and desire more and more.
So as per the Sheikhs instruction the disciples have arranged a
grand party and sent their invitation to him. They have arranged
a grand party in this matter with many items of food which were
brought on the dining cloth and there were plenty of delicious
items of food were there for him. Like lover will not satisfy with
his beloved and in the same way the Sufis stomach was not still
satisfied in this matter. The writers grandfather also invited him
as per the Sheikhs instruction and was arranged a grand party
with large items of food for him.
At last the Sheikh, who was Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual
pivot at axis) of his time was arranged a grand party in which all
his Murids (disciples) and devotees were present there like Joza
star ready in the presence of their Sheikh with great respect and
honor while folding their hands. There was an arrangement of
two breads by weight of 250 grams of each bread and which
were put before each person and breads were like transparent
and in the light like the sun and the moon and with them there
was pot of the stew (Shoraba) was there. Like the stars all
persons came there and sat at the dinning cloth and they have
started food eating and during that time the Sheikh had looked at
the Sufi like twinkle of stars and their sights were met with each
other. Till then the Sufi person did not eat his half portion of
food and his fear of hunger was cool down. So the Sufi was
satisfied with the food items on the Sheikhs dinning cloth and
47
after that the Sufi never eat more than above portion of food in
his whole life and he was becoming the Sheikhs great lover
and devotee and for this reason he was becoming successful in
this matter and he was obtained more favor and attention than
other disciples and devotees.

1). Asif Jah had four Divans (secretaries) and Lashkar Khan
was one among them and he went to Karnataka along with Nasir
Jung. But due to bad luck Nasir Jung had sent him to Deccan
(South) to control the revolt in Aurangabad. If Nasir Jung was
not sent him Aurangabad then he would not have been martyred
as Laskhar Khan always looked the French men with suspicion.
Asif Jah. (1). He was Divan (secretary) in the royal court, but
despite of his high level service and status, he used to visit in
the presence of Sheikh Makki. One day in front of Sheikh
Makki he said something which was against Islamic law while
discussing the issue of Wahidat Wajud (unity of existence). The
Sheikh used to like him very much, but as per instruction in the
holy Quran that friendship and enmity should be for the sake of
Allah only so for this reason he was becoming very upset and
angry in this matter. So for this reason he beat him with his staff
on his back and he was told him, To leave from this place and
next time do not talk such thing which will be cause deadly
poison for the general persons. So for this reason he stood
from there and hid behind the door of the room. When his fire
of anger was cool down, then Sheikh has called Nawab Sahib
with his great love and affection. It is known that the tears of
regret were falling from the eyes so in the same way Nawab
Sahib jumped behind the door and came and fell down at the
foot of Sheikh Sahib. So the Sheikh put his hand of kindness on
his head and has advised him secrets and told him that the
reason of its effects will show that royal crown is like a

Chanlurpad village and when he sees the lock on the door so for
this reason he will put his hand on the lock so for this reason it
will be opened and like ripe fruit it will fall on the ground. In
this way he used to enter into his house. Upon watching this

Rahmatuallah Sahib and who was silent upon hearing the event.
After that time the miracle was not happening again in this
matter.

will be no difference in both rivers as they will mixed with each
other like two seas and these two rivers are adjacent of
Rahmatabad and ahead of them there is one more river is there
which is called river Nakal Wagu. During his time of returning
to his house he will use to cross the two rivers in the dark nights
so there will be opened one way like a maidens line of the head
where the hair is parted for his crossing from there and in this
way he will reach back to his house. These rivers are very near

Hazrat Mohammed Hafeezullah
Late Hafiz Sahib used to say that once Maulavi Sahib was
very kind to him upon hearing all his problems and difficulties
so for this reason he told him to bring as much as lead which is
available for him. As per his instruction he was tried in the
village and was able to get one and a half kilograms of lead and
presented the same in his presence. So he wrote some charm on
one piece of silk cloth and pasted on the lead with gum and put
all these things into the fire. Like burning heart, which will
change due to the love of Allah and in the same way the lead
was converted into silver so he was given me the silver from

It is said that Bhadur is his title and it points out his miracle
that once the palanquin of Hazrat Syed Adam Banuri was being
carried on the shoulders of the disciples and on the way there
was a river in which there was flood so among all disciples of
Sheikh Abdullah Kohati went towards the river side and stood
on its bank like cypress tree and was given the signal with his
75
fourth finger to provide the way in the river. So for this reason
immediately the way was appearing there in the middle of the
river. So all disciples carried away the Sheikhs palanquin in
that way safely and securely without any problem and difficulty.
The Sheikh upon reaching the other bank was watching that the
river water was stopped on two sides of the river. So for this
reason and for this miracle he told It is his courageous work.

the title of Bahadur.

(Naib-E-Rasool) Rahamatabad Sharif
Departure to Kurnool
Wives.
Khwaja Sahib married two times, but from his two marriages
there are no children from them.
Upon the death of Khwaja Sahib, Bibi Sahiba who was his
second wife and made her nephew Hazrat Ghulam Naqshbandi,
as his successor and custodian of the shrine and she had dressed
him with the Sheikhs saintly dress (Qirqa).
The above extract was taken from the book Alkalam al-
Rafai which was written by Maulavi Rafiuddin. Please note that
the above extract was taken from the book of Maulavi Shah
Rafiuddin, and the author of this book mentioned in the
beginning of the books name as Al-Nifas al-Rafia and but here
he has mentioned the other books name as Al-Kalam Rafai.
So in the absence of the above books it is difficult to find out
the real thing in this matter.

Baquer Agahs letter in poetry
From the thirsty person who is running towards the spring and
from the dis-hearted person to the sympathetic person.
From the humble drop of water to the sea and from dry field to
the merciful cloud.
From one small, restless particle to the sun, from one small poor
ant who is present in the court of King Jamshid.
With the story of grief one sad person is present with the
pleasing personality.

We are ready to finish for the sake of your love and due to such
condition and despite of sitting there is movement on this
matter.
Due to the relish of your existence in the meeting place you hide
in the closets of hearts.
Your custody is like that you know all which is hidden and
openly except Allah.
You are free from counting numbers so you listen, you should
not limit his qualities in the counting.
Due to the kindness of his heart there are benefits of the six
senses to all disciples.
You know well your status and position and you know well
your qualities.
I hope that after some time you will be kind enough in this
matter to look at my worse conditions.
I am in doubts and desires and but still hope for your favour
and kindness.
I do not have a condition and name like you and not act upon
any condition and does posses any position.

Conduct and character of Khwaja Sahib
He was well known and famous for his great qualities which
are mentioned as follows.

sense of smell of the heart so it will be scented with his manners
and good conduct. He will not follow the following first
instruction from the Quran.

Khwaja Sahib and the Islamic law
His holy personality was like a great sun and which never been
faced the eclipse of mortal sins from its time of sunrise to its
time of the sunset. It means during his lifetime, he was away
from his birth to till death he was safe and away from the mortal
sins. Even nobody has not seen him in the clouds of small sins it
means he never did the small sins in his whole period of life. He
never left the road of Islamic law and he was always away
from Bedat (innovation) and he kept a long distance in this
matter. He was always used to try his best to follow the Sunnah
Rasool (the practice of Allahs final apostle). Even he was used
to follow all Mustahbat (desirable things) and he never missed
anyone. He did not eat delicious food as per the desire of Nafas
Ammra (self inordinate appetites). His father left Toran and he
reached India in this way like Prophet Adam (peace be upon
him) left the paradise and came to this world. Usually in his
kitchen there was arrangement of the preparation of delicious
dishes and Khwaja Sahib used to send his share of food to his
neighbouring people and he was always used to take their dry
bread from them and he used to eat the same.

16.
Nawab Basalat Jungs offer for the construction of mosque
Khwaja Sahib did not accept his offer and he told in this
matter that Fakir (Darvesh) did not want the construction of
these buildings by the hands of the wealthy persons. Because I
strongly hope with Allah the Merciful that as per his wish and
desire, there will be some condition that will arise and which
will it make possible for the construction by the grace of Allah.
Nawab Sahibs edge of the garment was lengthy like the
lengthy wishes and desires of wealthy and rich persons which
are not permissible as per the Islamic law. Upon Khwaja
Sahibs look at him so there was a wrinkle in his forehead and
Khwaja Sahib like a master tailor cut his edge of the garment of
wishes and desires and filled his ear with pearls of counsel and
advices and he has told him that your father had held the
Islamic law like tact of lace so for this reason it is necessary for
him to follow the same and do not leave it as he is his obedient
son of him. But like the stitch which is attached to edge of the
garment so in the same way you should not leave the way of
your pious persons.

2) Nawab Basalat Jung was the younger son of Salabat Jung
and the elder brother who has nominated him as Nawab of
Adoni. Nawab Salabat Jung was the third son of Asif Jah first
and he was ruled during the 1751-1762 A. D. Zulfiqar Jung was
in service of Basalat Jung. The French general Mousiv Lami
misguided him and so he was trying to fight against the British.
In this matter Baslat Jung forget that the French army men were
responsible for the killing of Nawab Nasir Jung and upon
122
hearing this news and so for this reason Wala Jah wrote him
warning letter to Basalat Jung on this matter. So he was returned
back from there and sent his army by Zulfiqar Jung to help
Mousiv Lami and at last in the war Zulfiqar Jung was killed.

from un-sleepy person. But he will attack on the careless
persons without any hesitation and he will be away from Arif
(one having an intimate knowledge of God) persons. As per his
nature some time he will deceive Arif (one having an intimate
knowledge of God) persons also. And he will be running away
from slapping of Lahool. ( Is an Arabic word referring to the

37.
Khwaja Sahib was not agreed with one famous proverb
One day he was told that he was surprised with the proverb of
the persons that the flight of the Peers (pious persons) is depend
upon the disciples. Because if there will be favour of Allah on
anybody then that person does not need any help for his flight,
but those who are false and imperfect and in that case this
proverb will correct and right for them in this matter. Because
the paper kite will not fly by itself and it needs and require
wind and thread is must in this matter.

His style of description of the holy persons
Please note from here the text will continue to page 104 upon
the end of footnotes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1). Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani Sheikh Ahmed Sirhindi.
2). Here it seems that there is misunderstanding with the author
of this book. The real event is that Hazrat Mujajid Alif Thanis
one disciple who was known as Badiuddin who was posted on
his behalf in the Mughal capital of Lahore for the teaching
preaching work and in him there was very much zeal and
passion. In Lahore, he was becoming very famous but there was
opposition against him. Despite of his opposition, he was
continued saying wise high level matters and the disclosing
these matters to the general, persons was not suitable and not
good at all. So for this reason there were many big problems and
difficulties as well many objections in this matter. Due to this
matter there were many objections not only against him, but on
the Sheikh Mujadid Alif Thani have been commenced in this
matter.
There many objections were raised for book (Dafter) part
ones eleventh letter in which Sheikh Mujadid Alif Thani has
mentioned about his spiritual progress. The details are
available as follows.
Upon watching that place and some other places were seen
one after another. When I reached from first place to upper
higher place, then come to know that this is place of Hazrat
138
Usman Bin Affan. From this place one more upper place was
seen and it was coming to know that it is for Hazrat Omer
Farurq. And from that place to upper side it was seen another
place and it was known for Hazrat Abu baker Siddiq. I also
reached this place and find my spiritual master Hazrat Khwaja
Naqshaband everywhere along with me. There is no upper place
after this place except the place of the Allahs final apostle .
There is one place opposite of the place of Hazrat Abu Baker
Siddiq which is a very good place of light appeared there and
like such place was never seen and it is noted that place is
higher than the previous place. It is known as place of Mahabiat
(loveliness) and which was in colour and carved. He was also
seen him in its color reflection. In this matter there were many
objections were raised that Hazrat Mujadid used to think him
greater than Hazrat Abu Baker Siddiq. In this matter the people
sought clarification from him so he told them it was his letter
which was written by him to his spiritual master and it is must
for the disciple to inform his experiences on the way of Saluk
(mystic initiation) to his spiritual master so that if there will be
any mistake in this matter then the spiritual master should make
the necessary corrections therein. But the persons who made the
objections were not satisfied from his clarification in this matter.
Also, many of disciples were entered in the condition of doubts.
To this objection he was clarified that he will not find him
equal with Hazrat Abu Baker Siddiq.
Despite of the above clear clarification there were increased
of many objections and learned persons of apparent (Zaher)
knowledge made their complaints in the court of Mughal King
Jehangir in Lahore that Hazrat Mujajdid Thani is making such
claim from which there will be problems and difficulties in these
matters. As there are large numbers of disciples of him so there
139
5. Hanafi ( Hanafite).
6. Hanbali (Hanbilite).
7. Wahidal Wajudi (unity of existence).
8. Mutzala (A rationalist sect of Muslim dissenters).
9. Ashara (Orthodox school of scholastic philosophy in
Islam).
In the above lines the author of this book has pointed out the
above quality of Shah Waliullah Saheb in this matter.
1). Khaja Khurd.
His name is Khwaja Mohammed Abdullah but he was well
known and famous with name of Khwaja Khurd. He was the
younger son of Hazrat Baqi Billah and he was established
Sufi order of Naqshibandiya in India. He was born in the year
1010 A.H. (1601 A.D.). He was getting a chance to benefit
greatly by Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Thani than his elder brother
Khwaja Klan. He got permission of recitation of daily
practice and recital of the Sufi order of Naqshibandia from
Sheikh Alif Mujadid Alif Thani. Shah Abdul Raheem, who
was the father of Shah Waliullah was his disciple and
devotee.
Syed Abdullah Akberabadi was the caliph of Sheikh Adam
Bannuri. Shah Waliullahs father, Sheikh Abdul Raheem and
his paternal uncle Sheikh Mohammed Reza were benefited by
his caliphate and his favor. In the book Anfas Arifian
Sheikh Shah Waliullah Sahib mentioned their biographical
information in details.
Syed Sheikh Adam Bannuri was famous and well known
caliph of Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani and there were a large
number of his disciples and devotees and he was native of
Bannur village which is 20 miles away from Sirhind. He was
un-educated person, but after his pledge (Bayyah) to Hazrat
142
from Rohela community and for his some mistake like Satan, he
removed him from his court. So for this reason that Rohela
person who had bad Batin (innermost) wrote some useless
things in his writings and added the same. So for this reason
some prejudiced persons thought the same as staff of Tariqat
(mystic way of life) and like blind persons were falling down in
the filthy drain of sins.
Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani, who famous and greater than the
revelation of holy personalities so such disrespect from his
personality should be done by him, which is an act which is not
be possible with him and also such act against the dignity of
the Allahs final apostle is not expected from him as he was
143
1. Favour Benignity
144
2. Knowledge
There is the strangest thing that bigot persons used to say that
the above great holy personalities were benefitted and got a
favour and passed the way of Saluk (mystic initiate) due to the
favour of Khwaja Khurd (1) because in the Sufi order of
Mujadidia nobody was not able to reach its final destination.
The details of Khwaja Khurd which are available on the below
footnote.
If suppose the above same thing is right and correct, then
thinking in this matter that those above holy personalities who
were Qutubs (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of their
times so why there were not able to find the details by their
revelation in this matter?. As a matter of fact, they have
instructed their mystic way of the Sufi Order of Naqshibandia to
145
all over the world and they preached towards this way and in
this way they have given their caliphates and genealogy records
to their disciples.
The bigot persons, also used to say that among the Mujadids
(one well known and famous Sufi order) nobody has not attained
the high status of Velayat (saintliness) and If there is progress in
them, which was possible for them as they have followed their
way and due to favour from that way only.
1). Preaching
2). Saintliness
3). Qualities
4). Favour
5). Lineage
Due to his above qualities and due to his light of favour and
saintliness there were many positive results were there. He was
Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time and
also who was one caliph of Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani. And
due to his light of favour and light of Velayat (saintliness) large
group of persons were benefitted by him. He was famous for his
torch of revelation and miracles. So I know 37 persons and their
details are safe in my memory. All of them were sent to different
places as per instruction of their spiritual master for the advising
the mankind. For the proof in this matter, I am submitting the
names of some persons which are as follows.
1. Sheikh Qasim Saharanpuri
146
2. Sheikh Hussain
3. Sheikh Abdul Salam
4. Sheikh Abdul Jalil
5. Sheikh Muslim Saharanpuri
All these above persons were sent to towards Ambala.
1. Hafiz Yar Mohamed Sarhindi
2. Haji Shah Mohammed Sarhindi
3. Syed Abul Fatah
4. Syed Masud
5. Abdul Hai
6. Abu Naser Sheikh Abdul Baqi
7. Sheikh Mohammed Sambotari
8. Sheikh Ahmed Roohullah
All these above persons were going towards eastern Utter
Pradesh.
1. Sheikh Burhan
2. Sheikh Farid
3. Sheikh Mohammed Amin Badaqshi
4. Haji Yar Khan
5. Sheikh Tatar Khan
6. Sheikh Jamal
7. Mir Maqsood
8. Haji Mir Mansour
9. Sheikh Omer Kabli
10. Altarulla
1. Kamal Meherbani
149
2. Asalul asul
3. Kajul Jawaher
1). Mir Abdul Quader and his poetic name was Meherban. He
was born in the year 1151 Hegira (1738 A.D.) in Aurangabad
city. He has learned Arabic and Persian by Azad Bilgrami. His
father Syed Mohammed Sharif was a disciple and caliph of
Moualana Fakheruddin Dehlavi Saherwardi Chisti. Upon death
of his father ,he was become Qazi (judge) of Roudah of
Khuldabad. In last time of his age, he was benefitted in the
company of Shah Fakheruddin Aurgangabadi. Afterwards he
becomes a courtier of Nawab Asif Jahs minister Rukun Doulah.
He has used first time his poetic name as Rangin and then Esar
and in the last he used poetic name Meherban as per advice of
Ghulam Ali Azad Bilgrami. He wrote many magazines in poetry
and in magazine Kajal Jawaher Fe Manaqib Sheikh Abdul
Quader there are 15,000 lines of poetry in it.
Despite of his claim of Fakir (Darvish) and Fakhri
(indigence) and he has left justice and fair play without care of
his position and status with the very prejudice he wrote about
great Sheikh of his time Hazrat Alif Mujadid Alif Thani and also
made objection about works of revelations of other holy
personalities of the Naqshibandia Sufi order in this matter. Like
trash he has used his tongue in this matter. Specially about the
Sultan of Deccan (South India) Khaja Gesu Daraz he has
written many pages with disrespect in this matter. The extract of
one line from such writing is as follows.
That Syed Mohammed like his Gesu (long hair) has caused
impudence in this matter.
this reason they will take the caravans to the Holy Harem
(grand mosque) of Makkah by secret ways. All tigers (holy
persons) of Allah are fasten with this chain and the fox will not
dare and will be helpless in this matter to break the chain by
her cheat and fraud.|
It is necessary here to clarify that the holy saints of
Naqsbandiya used to follow the method of attention which is as
follows.
That they with their power of spiritual and courageous they
used to bring their disciples and Saluk (mystics) from the temple
of ego and try to send them in the tavern of Wahidat (oneness)
and so there will be intoxication due to the result of the
nearness. So un-consciousness of the disciple is due to the
reason of nearness only. As the beggar or other poor and needy
person when will reach in place of rich persons then he will be
getting lost there and he will not understand anything in that
matter.
The great holy personalities of the Sufi order of
Naqshibandiya used to follow their rules to the conception of Ya
Basir (The All-Seeing) to level of confirmation and when they
look at any person then due to such look he will become un-
consciousness. So this is included in recital and not belongs to
acts.

The Style of equality of Khwaja Sahib
When he will use to attend feasts and when there will be very
much respect and consideration as well as hospitality for him,
then he will use to become angry and upset in this matter. If
there will be equal treatment of all persons like a morning
breeze, then he will be used to be happy and his face will
become fresh like an open flower. In his meetings like heavenly
paradise in which all small and big persons will be benefitted
by his shower of cloud of mercy equally without any
discrimination there. On his dining cloth all persons will be
benefitted equally due to kind attention and care.
46.
The Contentment of Khwaja Sahib
the worldly rulers. The ruler of Kadpa late Abdul Halim was
always used to desire that Khwaja Sahib should select some
place so that he can do his service as per his status and position.
But he was rejected his request and never agreed in this matter.
47.
Khwaja Sahib did not like the company of the rich persons
During his stay in Kadpa late Nawab Abdul Majid Khan and
Abdul Hamid Khan always used to come to kiss his foot for the
sake of felicity and as they had complete faith in Khwaja Sahib.
But Khwaja Sahib has forbidden them to come to visit him and
he ignored them and he used to abominate with their meeting.
48.
Khwaja Sahib did not accept the offer of Saikal village
Amiral Hind (1) Wala Jah has sent one letter to Khwaja
Sahib through his caliph Mohamed Sibgatullah alias Bawa Sahib
from Tirchanapalli to accept Saikal village ,but he did not accept
his offer in this matter and he has thrown his letter like waste
paper in the corner of his house.
49.
Nawab Abdul Saeed Khans request to become his disciple
Nawab Abdul Saeed Khan of Ganji Kota has sent his letter
to Khwaja Sahib with much inclination that Since long time
there is desire in his heart to see him and wanted to become his

Nawab Munawar Khans request
lands and named all plots differently. Like the light which live in
the heart of Arif (one having an intimate of knowledge of God)
in the same way Khwaja Sahib was settled down in
Rehmatabad to bring back the largest number of misguided
people on the path of guidance and was taken the large number
of persons towards their goal.
51.
Demise of Khwaja Sahib
He was ill for the period of one month due to some effects
and development of an abscess in between his ear and cheek
area. He left this world on 26th Rabbil Awwal in the year 1195
Hegira (1781 A.D.). On Friday night at the time of Maghrib
(sunset) prayer in the fort of Udgir .His dead body was taken to
Rahmatabad during the night by his servants, and on the next
day it means on Friday he was buried in the courtyard of the
mosque of Rehamatabad. On his mausoleum there is always
dismount of the grace of Allah.
The person of good qualities Mirza Shujat Baig who was his
adopted son of Khwaja Sahib and who was well known and
159
1). Khwaja Rahmatullah was died in the year 1195 Hegira. But
by adding the numbers of the date of death, the death year
will be available at 1194 Hegira. But due to the rules of history
to ignore or add one number is allowed in this matter. Like the
author of this book who was calculated the year of its
publication of the book Bahar Rahmat as 1240 Hegira. But his
disciple Maulavi Murtuza Ali Khan Bahadur in Persian and
Arabic derived its year of publication of this book as 1241
Hegira.

his early education under supervision of Malavi Rahimuddin
Gopamavi and he was also obtained knowledge from Maulavi
Ghulam Tayeb Bihari and Moulana Haider Ali Sandelavi . He
was made a pledge (Bayah) to Syed Shah Ghulam Peer bin

of four Sufi orders. In search of service he went to Madras city
in the year 1200 Hegira ( 1786 A.D.) and he was entered into
service of Nawab Wala Jah and many times he went to his
native place and come back there. He was appointed as Qazi
(judge) of Tiruchinapalli. Afterwards, when the post of Chief

That for the sake of your kind authority my many desires are

that you will kindly reply in this matter for which I shall be
obliged to you in this matter.

And he said further in this matter that he will try and pray in

satisfaction in this matter .Afterwards Khwaja Sahib told me
that if he need some food items, then he can take some food
items from remaining food items for the next day use and
after this event he was sleeping again there like before. When
he was waking up in the morning, then he found himself in
the dangerous desert under the tree in the same place where
he was sleeping before. Upon watching the condition he was
surprised greatly in this matter. Khwaja Sahib had looked at
me and had instructed me not to inform the details in this
matter.So the servant did not disclose the details of this event
till his death and was keeping the secret in his chest and at his
last moments of his life in rural areas of Nandial this secret
was known to the persons who were present there.

to travel in the world and due to his long travel and trips his
174
nature of his heart was changed. But at last upon his pledge to
(Bayah) to Khwaja Sahib, he was becoming like pure gold.
One day he was given his formula of alchemy which was proved
as successful number times on the touchstone to Khwaja Sahib
with sincerity and humility. Khwaja Sahib took the formula
from him and has asked him three times whether he has given
him with sincerity and humility? And he replied Yes with
sincerity with humility in this matter. After some days Khwaja
Ahmed for the fulfillment of some desires wants to make gold

Hazrat Syed Murtuza
He was great pious personally of his time and he was the first
caliph of Khwaja Sahib and he was a resident of Adoni. As a
matter of fact, he was obtained caliphate of Khwaja Sahib after
Hazrat Maulavi Shah Mohammed Rafiuddin. He was famous
and well known for the following things.
Due to the hard work of meditation his head was coming in the
hanging condition on the right side of his shoulder. Khwaja
Sahib used to pay his very much attention and care towards
him. When Khwaja Sahib used to hear his news of arrival to
Rahamatabad then used to post men everywhere from a distance
of one Farsanq (One Farsang = 6.24 KM) from there to enable
him to know the details of good news about his movement step
by step and at that time he was used to wear a white dress and
put antimony in his eyes and will used to stay there in the
courtyard for his welcome with great happiness and pleasure.
When Syed Murtuza will get the opportunity to visit Khwaja
Sahib then he used to fell down on his foot like ripe fruit. At
that time Khwaja Sahib urgently used to lift him from the
ground and embrace with his passion and enthusiasm and used
to start talking to him with love and affection. Up to his stay in
Rehmatabad and Khwaja Sahib used to take him after Eisha
(night) prayer for meditation, which will continue up to
midnight time and at that time there will be no permission
allowed to other persons to visit Khwaja Sahib. At the time of
his death Khwaja Sahib has given him three betel-leaves and
two betel-nuts. He left this world after five years of death of
Khwaja Sahib on 20th Jamidul Thani in the year 1200 Hegira
(1786 A.D.) in Adoni. My teacher Moulavi Mohammed Baquer
Agah wrote one best poetry about him and in its last line his
date of birth is available.

he could not able to recognize him or he was standing to pay

condition of intoxication then he addressed the persons who
were present there that His master (Khwaja Sahib) will require
100 years to reach such a high status like him. He was died in

of Khwaja Sahib on the second day he told him that he will
write one letter to Mohammed Ali Khan Bahadur Wala Jah so
he should take it to him and he will behave well with him . Upon
hearing this I was becoming very sad and was requested him
that wealth and sources of income which were left by his
ancestors are there which are more than his requirements. I think
all of them as illegal for me. Due to guidance and indication of
the soul of Haji Mohammed Sayahs for the training of Batani
(innermost) he was there at his shrine in this matter. Upon
hearing my request Khwaja Sahib began weeping and he said
God bless you. Now a days people come there to pledge to him
and among them some of them need my recommendation and
some of them need my permission to practice a spell to get
control and alchemy as they know well that Fakir (Darvish)
know these things.
Then Khwaja Sahib taught me method of Dogana (two
Rakats = two sets of standing, genuflexion and prostration in
prayer) of Allahs final apostle and he was given his permission
to me in this matter and he was instructed me as follows When
193
you will act during the night, then remember all events of the
night and inform me the details in the next morning. The details
of his dream are available in his magazine Naqshibandia (1)
which was compiled by him and the details of extracts are as
follows.
Upon performing the method of Dogana (two Rakats = two
sets of standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) he saw in
the dream that he was standing in great desert lonely there. One
dangerous and very big black person was coming towards him
so for this reason he was very upset and afraid in this matter.
Suddenly there came a large number of army personnel there
and they started killing that person with swords and sticks and
cut him into pieces. So he asked from where this army came
over there.? It was told that it is advancing guard of Allahs
final apostle and Allahs final apostle is also coming there. So
for this reason he was very happy in this matter and stood at the
side of holy army.
---------------------------------------------------------------
1). The Magazine Naqshibandia was compiled by Shah
Raifuddin in which the details and method of performance of
Dogana (two Bakats = two sets of standing, genuflexion and
prostration in prayer) of Allahs final apostle is mentioned
which is as follows.
To keep fast on Thursday and open the breakfast with Khir
(rice pudding). To have bath after Eisha (night) prayer and wear
the clean dress and apply scent on the dress and burn the
Bukhoor (or Bakhoor is the Arabic name given to scented
bricks or a blend of natural traditional ingredients, mainly wood
chips (Oudh the Arabic name for Agarwood/Aloeswood) soaked
in fragrant oils and mixed with other natural ingredients (resin,

There was some good news, which the Fakir (Darvesh) got in
the dream world in Makkah during Friday night. I have seen one
book and one writing case which was coming out from the wall
of the Holy Kaaba in Makkah.
203
The Kaaba.
The Ka'aba (literally "the cube" in Arabic) is an ancient stone
structure that was built and re-built by prophets as a house of
monotheistic worship in Makkah. So I have collected the same
with great happiness from there. At that time one pious person
called and told me that This book and writing case was
awarded to him by the Allahs final apostle so congratulation in
this matter.

1). It is known that there were a large number of disciples of
Syed Adam Banuri and their number were more than many
Lakhs (one Lakh = 100,000) persons. He used to include his
every student in his circle, and in this matter, he leaves the thing
with Allah that whether that person is eligible or not.?
2). This refers to Azamul Umra Arstu Jah who did not like Shah
Sahibs stay in Hyderabad due to the large number of his
disciples.
The misled people say that Allah is having his children and
they also say that Allahs prophet was a Kahan (soothsayer) so
when there is no escape of Allah and his final apostle from the
tongue of the mankind so in this matter what is the position of
the compiler of the book.?

The compiler of this books personal event
came there very fast so that I can raise my head. Upon raising
my head when I saw Mavlavi Sahib and I suddenly stood there
and after some time he was sitting there and asked me to sit
there . Then he said there was one person who was a perfect one.
One day his disciple was busy in condition of meditation in the
divine light. When Sheikh saw him in that condition then he
took out his sandal from his feet and started to give a beating on
his head. The disciple took out his head from the garment and
started with the cry of pain and told, alas, I was in the best
mode of great pleasure. Murshid (master) told I beat him for this
reason only. As Salik (Arabic: ), a Murid is an initiate into
the mystic philosophy of Sufism) should be away from the such
condition as well he should ignore the following things which
will not able them to reach the final destination.
2. Wajd (ecstasy)
3. Tarab (joyfulness).

An event of marriage of Shah Rafiuddins daughter
pain for three days and nights and all other persons who were
coming over there to attend the marriage were gone in a
condition of intoxication. Even Maulavi Sahib could not leave
the place except for prayers and nature calls so he left his place
and came back there. The cooks were also on condition of
intoxication so for this reason they mixed curry in the rice and
rice with the curry. When this news slowly reached to the ruler
of Qandhar. So he wanted to finish the condition by help of
sending couriers in this matter. But his minister who wise
Muslim opposed his idea and told him to ignore his idea
otherwise he will face grave consequences in this matter. On the
fourth day all were coming back in their normal condition, but

side. The woman began crying and wept very much and she
has requested, Oh caliph of the Muslims how she will maintain
and bring up the children of Tamim Ansari and she is poor and
helpless and she did not have any Dirham with her so how she
will pass the period of the four years.? The caliph of the
Muslims told her that, You do not worry for the expenses of
the bringing up of the children as she will be given money from
the Baital Mall (public treasury) as per the requirement in this
matter. So go and take care of the children and in reality Allah
will solve all problems of the men. In short, that woman was
returned back to her home in happy condition and she has spent
a period of four years in waiting of the husband in her house.
After the end of the four years she goes to see the caliph of the
prophet again and she said Oh caliph of the Muslims now four
years have been completed and now give her permission to re-
marry and he told her that she should complete further more four
months and come back and see him. At last this period was also
have been ended and during this period also his husband s
where about and news were not found by her. So she went into
the presence of the caliph of the Muslims and she said Oh
caliph of the last prophet that now she could not have patience in
this matter. And at that time some persons were present there.
The caliph told in the loud voice Is anybody is there who can
marry this woman.? So one person among them was standing
and he said he can marry with her woman. At that time the
caliph of the prophet married that woman with the man there.
Then that woman and husband along with children were began
living in the happy condition.
One day that man was performing Asar evening prayer and at
that time there was loud and cry was begun in the house. He
completed his prayer and was asked her wife about this matter
224
that whether there is good news and with whom she is fighting
in the house and who was entered into the house. The woman
has told that see there is standing one person in the naked
condition there and the young man stood and went near the
naked person and was asked him in the angry condition who are
you?, and why did he enter into his house without any
permission.? It seems that your ill luck has brought you here.?
So you should leave my house urgently otherwise there will be
bad consequences in this matter. Upon hearing this that naked
person entangle with the young man and fighting was started in
between both of them there in the house. The pious woman was
began loud and crying and she said Oh neighbors come on
soon someone is killing my husband. It may be the same Devil
who was taken away my first husband. Now he came there gain,
and while becoming the enemy of my second husband.
The`neighbouring persons upon hearing loud and cry and they
run towards their house and entered into the house and with
much difficulty and problem they have separated fighting of the
two persons in the house. The neighboring persons was taken
away Tamim Ansari and have asked him to tell truly who are
you.? And which place he belongs.? And what is your name.?,.
And that naked person told them that He is Tamim Ansari and
he is the husband of this woman and all children are belong to
him. He was involved in many problems and due to the grace
and help of Allah, he was able come back again to
Madina.Due to this problem long time was passed away and
night was started so the neighbours have advised both of them
to live in patience during the night and in the morning they
should appear in the presence of the caliph of Muslims Hazrat
Umar Bin Qattab to represent their case for the settlement there
and tell him their whole story and get his kind order on this
225
matter and act upon it. In short the whole night was passed in the
fighting also with each other and for this reason nobody could
not sleep in this house for this problem.
In the morning all of them went into the kind presence of
Hazrat Umar bin Qattab in the grand mosque of the prophet in
Madina and have been telling him their stories there. Then
Hazrat Umar bin Qattab have asked that naked person What is
your name and the place of his residence.? That person told
him that His name is Tamim Ansari and he is a resident of
Madina city. Whether you are forgetting your friend and this
woman is my wife and all these children belong to him and he is
their father. The woman told Umar bin Qattab that This man
is a lair and where is the man and where is the devil.
That one day I have done intercourse with my wife and after
its completion and I asked with my wife to bring soon water so
that he will have bathing as the prophet of Allah has said that
one who have done intercourse then he should have bathed soon
and become clean as this is a time of overwhelming of the
Satan. Usually an un-bathed person in this matter will involve
intricacy and problem and for this reason he will face difficulty
in this respect. My wife for the sake of the joke told at that time
Oh Devil takes him away from there and upon saying this she
went to bring water. He was sleeping in the upper storey and
suddenly one Devil came there and took me towards the sky
and I have reached at the highest level and from where the earth
seen like a clod. Due to divine power of Allah one piece of the
cloud was touched with the neck of the Devil and due to this
reason there was pressing on the neck of the Devil and for this
matter Devil began getting down while closing his eyes and he
228
was dipped in the big sea and at that time my condition was
such that due to fear I was stopped taking breath and I was
becoming helpless there and there was no hope for me that I will
be free from the claw of the Devil. He began taking me some
time in the light and sometime in the darkness and suddenly the
Devil freed me from his hold so I was becoming
unconsciousness and falling down to the earth. When I was
came back in consciouness and opened my eyes and I was
found myslef in the huge garden where there were many
thousand trees of fruits were there and there were available
water springs everywhere and there was a cold breeze was
moving in the garden and there was mild fragrance was found
every where and due to this reason there came life again in my
dead body and it was like that there was no more tiredness in me
and there was happiness and joy in my heart and there was
created light in my eyes and due to such reasons heavenly
atmosphere was found there. So I stood immediately and watch
here and there and but could not find anybody there. I have
desired which ever fruit and plucked and eaten there and in such
condition I went towards one side. At one place I was looking
suddenly at one creature and which did not belong to human
beings. Then I was able to know that these creatures belong to
Devils and surely they will kill me there. Then I told Oh Allah
you have now given safety from one cruel Devil and after that
other problem from another creature came there. So give me
salvation from this creature also. Due to fear of the Devils I was
hiding in the clump of the trees and was there for a period of two
days. Even though there was no trouble from them for me, but I
was shivering due to their fear and problems. On the third day
two persons came there and said Salam to me and asked me
Who are you?, and how you have reached there.?. I have
229
sometime queen fairy told me, Oh Tamim Ansari for me, you
are like my adopted son.I have seven sons with me and they are
unaware of the holy book of Allah. I have the desire with me
that you for the sake of god and for sake of mediation of the last
prophet of Allah teach my children the holy Quran and I will
fulfil your desire as per your fate in this matter and there will be
no excuse in this matter. So I told her that I have accepted her
offer. So she was given orders to bring one horse and asked me
to ride on it and she was asked two fairies to accompany with
me and to take me to the residence of the children of the queen
fairy and he will be there along with them and teach my children
holy book of Quran there. And see that there will be no
complaint for his hospitality and try to please him and after
one week she will come there and visit my children and if there
will be some difficulty caused to him then I will give severe
punishment to both of you. Oh the ruler of the Muslims the
speed of the horse is very fast so it is very hard and difficult to
describe its speed in this matter. Due to such speed and flight I
was becoming unconscious so I could not know where I was
going. At one place they get me down and then I opened my
eyes and I was gaining my consciousness there and I have
noticed that it was time of later afternoon Asar prayer so I have
done ablution and prayed there.At that time the children and
relatives of the queen fairy came to see me and they have paid
very much respect and honour for me and they presented many
kinds of valuable gifts to me. The children of the queen fairy
asked me When did you depart from the place of our
mother.? I told them that I left that place after praying Fajr
prayer and reached here at the time of Asar prayer. They asked
me Do you know how much distance you have covered during
this journey. I told him them that I think that I have covered
232
her face. At last the queen fairy reached in the room of the black
devil and she was inspecting his room. Oh, ruler of the Muslims,
it is very difficult to describe the greatness and the horror of the
devil and which is as follows.
1. Face was like a great tomb.
2. Mouth was like a cave
3. Height was like a great mountain
4. Eyes were like lawn of the river basin
5. Nails were nails of the elephant
the Devil from the prison and she asked me to ride on his neck
and she has taken from his promise to take me to Madina within
a week.Oh the ruler of the Muslims at the time of departure from
there the queen fairy was taught me one supplication which is as
follows.
And she told me that There is no guarantee of the promises
of the Devils. They involve in the acts of breaking of the
promises and Satanic acts. I will teach a supplication in this
matter to help you against their misdeeds and atrocities so
remember it well. If Allah wills due to blessing of this prayer
there will be no calamities and dangers and you will be safe
and secure in this matter.
That cursed one due to his bad habit he began flying higher in
height in the sky and the angles throw fireball at him and so he
was burnt down and becoming ashes and due to the blessing of
the prayer, I was falling down to the earth safely and securely
and I was in the condition of unconsciousness for a long period
of time. When I was becoming in the normal condition then I
was found that due to the kind grace of Allah, I was in the
condition of safe and secured. Oh, leader of the Muslims I
thought that I will be broken into pieces due to my great fall
from the sky to the earth and there will be no particle of the my
body will not be found there on the earth. But Allah kept me
safe and secure.In short, I was finding myself in the desolate
jungle and where there was not found any bird and animals.In all
four sides I have tried my best but could not find the way to
leave from that jungle area. Also, there was not found any
human beings and any persons. Also, there was not found any
grain for eating and to wear clothes there and as well there was
no water available there. In the jungle there was prevailing
rustling of the winds so I was afraid in this matter due to fear
237
and danger into the huge jungle area. So for this reason I was
began weeping and crying there. I was weeping very much and
made loud and cry there in the wilderness of the jungle. So told
myself that oh Allah what I should do now there?, and where
should I go?, and in such grief and suffering I was seeing an
animal and his legs were like pearls and his beak were like
shining ruby and who was approached towards me and began
talking with me. And he said Oh Tamim you, do not worry in
this condition of grief and problem and do not lose hope and
trust on Allah. I told him that I was weeping and crying due
to loneliness and helplessness. Due to surprise, I was seeing
that animal and questioned him. Oh cock who are you.? And
who was spoken like a human being or whether you belong to
group of the Jins.?, He told me that He did not belong to the
category of the Jin or human begins, but he is an animal and he
has been deputed for this work from the prophet Ishaq (A.S.)
and my work is showing the way to the travelers and persons
who lost their way and for hungry passengers I will provide
water and food supply. You are a traveler. Who was lost the way
of the journey and you are hungry and thirsty. Now you stood
here and I was there in that jungle for a period of 40 days and
nights. I have eaten many kinds of food of grace there. After
forty days I told him that he wants to go from there and so he
should guide me and show the way for my journey. That animal
showed me the way and I was started towards the direction of
Qibla (direction in which the Muslim turn in prayer). By
walking on the way I was reached in the jungle. I was watching
two shapeless creatures who are proceeding towards me.When
both of them have reached to me, I found both are in the round
shape, and they do not have eyes, ears and head as well as foot
and stomach and coming towards me by rolling down so for
238
then he used to see the human beings at that time. I told him
Oh old pious person I came to this place with the kind help and
grace of Allah, I do not know from which place I was coming
there and I do not know where he is going.?. But I want to go
back to my country. That old pious person by holding my hand
get down from that big mountain and he was taken, me towards
one direction and where he introduced me to one gentleman
there and to whom he has explained all details of the whole story
which belong to me. I told him further that I was traveling by
foot journey since long period of time and I do not know where I
am going.? That young man given me the good news that I
will reach back to my home surely and he will take back to me
to my home city of Madina. Even he will make me a king of the
area so you promised that whatever I will say you should obey
and follow such instructions. I told him that I promised and
obey all his instructions in this matter. That young man has
taken my hand in his hand and he shakes it and he told me to
stay here and he was vanished from there. After an elapse of
some time he has brought a tray with full of many kinds of
dishes and sweets and he put the tray before me and I was
eating full of my stomach. When I have eaten many kinds rich
food items, then he was asked me whether still you obey your
promise? I said Yes. He said well and he was vanished from
there. The next day he was also brought such kinds of many
high quality food items and sweets in the tray for me. When I
was eating many kinds of the rich food items, then he asked me
whether I was firm on my promised and I told him, Yes.
Upon hearing this he was given me one pellet in my hand and he
told that keep it safely. He said He will put himself in the fire
and he will burn in it. Then you put this pellet on the ashes, then
I will become alive again and I will take you back to his home in
240
your country and I will give you the seven climes kingdom to
you. I have lots of thanks to him in this matter. In his hand there
was rope also which he was given to me. Then he told me Oh
my friend hold my two feet. Oh Ali, I have caught his two feet
and he was taken, me and began flying in the air. In short time
we both were reached on a mountain and its length and breath is
very difficult and not able to describe its details.That person was
a magician and who sat me on the mountain and he was
vanished away from there. He came there after some time and
he asked me that Whether I was firm on my promise. I asked
him which is this mountain.? He said this is the mountain of Qaf
(Caucasus). Upon hearing I was becoming unconscious of
thinking how I will reach back to the country.? When I was
becoming well then I asked him that, You have promised that
you will take me back to my home town and what you did that
you have brought me on the mountain of Qaf and so why you
have not fulfilled your promise.? He told me that I should not
worry in this matter. I will surely take you to the home. So do
not object in this matter why he has taken him on the mountain
Qaf. I will give you a kingdom of the seven climes to you. So
you should firm on your promise and hold my two feet firmly.
Upon his saying I caught his two feet firmly. Then he began
flying in the air. For many days and nights he was continued
flying in the air. At last he reached at a cave. I have seen that
there was one door in the cave on it is written Islamic creed in
large plain
241
handwriting and he went near the caves door and changed his
shape. He asked for me to be firm on the promise. I told him that
I was firm on my promise. But I do not know who are you and
to which places he is taking. I do not know what you will do for
him,? But he did not reply in this matter. He went forward and
strike the rope on the lock of the door and by touching of the
rope so for this reason it was opened at once. He took me inside.
I have seen in the cave there many rooms are available it. In
every room there is one devil is available there. When they saw
us they began angrily and they began to try to kill both of us.
The rope with which lock of the cave opened was shown to them
so for this reason they put down their weapons and stood by
lowering their necks and followed his obedience and submission
to him. By leaving them as I have proceeded further and have
reached a great building was there which in lavish style and its
description is beyond my ability. In that building there was one
throne, which was laying there and on it there was sleeping one
pious young man in the finest dress and he is putting one hand
on his chest and other hand on his stomach. In his hand there
was one ring in which there were four gems which were
shining brightly. On the four sides of the throne there is one
python, which was sitting there. I was surprised and asked by
him, Who is sleeping on the throne and all wild animals and
birds, python was guarding and taking care of him there.? He
said Oh Tamim Ansari, he is prophet Suleiman (A.S.) under
his control and authority were all wild animals and birds,
python during his life period and they all also will be remain
under his control and authority after his death. The rope which
I was given to you and which belongs to the magic and with its
power of magic it have kept all things under my control and
authority and I have reached up to here. If I will get the ring,
242
then all things will come under his control and authority. That
person was thinking like that then at that time one angle came
down from the sky and hit him by his hand on that persons
neck and for this hit his neck was cut and he was falling down
on the ground and blood discharge was started there. Upon
seeing this I stood away from there so that the angel may not
kill me. When I have seen him then find in his look the love and
affection, and there is no look of and anger and rage, so for this
reason with the feelings of the fear and worry. I have reached
near him and I have asked him Oh Darwesh for the god sake
tell me and explain me the details of this person to whom you
have killed.? That person did not take me with him into my
house in Madina and also did not explain me his details and his
condition. It is also not known why he brought me this place.
What is this miracle.? He told me that This person who was
more powerful than the devils and fairies. During his life period
he did not become obedient of the prophet Suleiman (A.S.) and
also he did not present in his service and he did come there to
steal the ring of the prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) and for this reason
he was killed. So it was not good of your living with that
cursed one and so you throw pellet and the rope now and in
these things there is magic in it and all these things are not
useful for you. The Muslim person should be away from all
these things. I am an angel and as per the command of Allah I
came down from the sky. This is prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) who is
sleeping on the throne. All these things are kept for his safety
and security. I told him that God bless I am a person who lost
the way and away from the home at a distance of many millions
of miles so show me the way to where I should proceed. He
told me to wear the ring which is there in the hand of that cursed
devil and thrown pellet and a rope and I have gone away on the
243
mother then that devil who took you towards the throne of the
prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) and who was killed there and who was
becoming a lover of my mother and by deceive and fraud, he
was taken, my mother from the palace and he brought here and
my mother told him that be careful that I am pregnant so do not
touch me. Till she will not deliver baby he should not come
near to her. So for this reason that devil was away from any act
of mischief. To see the kind help of Allah, with which He helps
his pious personalities from the grip and prison of the cruel
things. When the time of delivering of the baby came I was
delivered then at that time my mother queen was praying to
Allah that, She is one of his slave women and who in nothing
now and You are the protector and owner of the respect and
honour. Now this devil wants to intercourse with me and expect
You there is nobody is there who can protect and secure my
respect and honour. I seek your help and custody as well
protection and refuge in this matter, so take me towards You
from the world so that she will be safe and secure from the
maltreatment of this devil. The supplication was accepted in the
court of Allah and she was dying there suddenly and in this way
she was left this mortal with respect and honour due to kind
grace and mercy of Allah. The devil made loud and cry and then
he was become silent and but he was becoming kind and
favourable to me. He was taken great care and attention to my
bright up there and his favour and attention towards me was
such that due to his affection for me than all devils and fairies
who were faithful to him were also becoming faithful to me.
One good looking person used to come there in the palace and
taught me education and training there. Since long time she has
a desire to see the human being belongs to Islamic religion so
that on his hand, she can accept the religion of the last prophet
245
Allah. So for reasons Allah has sent you to her. And Allah
awarded me the wealth of Islamic religion. Now you have to
take a rest here for some days as you are my Islamic brother and
your Islamic sister is there in this place. So you teach me matters
of Islamic religions. I stayed there for some days and was given
the information and the rules and regulation of the Islamic
religion to her there. One day I was remembering my family
members and I have a desire to see them. So suddenly stood
there and have intended to proceed from there. I have asked
permission from that Islamic sister. In the beginning she was
insisting me not to leave from there. But she was seeing me in
the condition of worry and upset then she told me to stay a
while so that she can call one devil and who will take you
towards your city Madina. So you do not have worry in this
respect. Even though your home is very far away from here,
which at a distance of travel of 2040 years, but he will take you
back to your home town sure.Upon hearing such a long distance
of my home town and so for this reason I was very much
worried and for this reason there was the condition of
unconsciousness which prevailed upon me. At that time she was
called one devil there and she told him that He is my Islamic
brother and he is a resident of Madina city and she wishes that
you take him to his home city. The Devil told that Yes and he
will take back him to his home very soon. She asked him in
How many days he can take him swiftly to him there. The
devil told her Within 3 days time. When I heard this then
there was relief and relax condition which prevailed upon me.
Then she asked me to ride on the neck of the devil and then she
said goodbye to me there and at that time she was instructed me
to recite the supplication which was taught by queen fairy so
that due to the blessing of the supplication you should be safe
246
that man did not disclose me his name and other details in this
matter and he told only that By order of the Allah, he was
imprisoned there, Oh Tamim Ansari I want to know some
details from you whether still the prophet Mohammed is living
or not.? I told him that He already left this mortal world. He
asked me Whether people are involved in adultery and I told
him Yes. Whether the people are involved in the acts of
gambling and I told him Yes. He asked me Whether people
are involved in acts of giving false witness. I told him, Yes.
He asked Whether people used to drink wine.? I told him
Yes. In this way he asked many questions from me. After
this he was forced with a great strength so for this reason his
thick chains were broken and he was freed from that place. Then
he made a slogan due to this reason there was a great uproar in
the jungle areas and there came earthquake in the earth and the
mountains. In every place of the earth was broken there and its
dams were becoming slower. At that time one angle came from
the sky with a heavy, thick bough and hit him on head and he
said to him, Oh cursed person still that time did not come for
which you are awaiting there. How you become free from the
chains? and that person did not say anything to the angel of the
sky and he was standing there silently. That angel put the
heavy chain to that person again and fixed by him with the tree.
When I have seen such dealing so I become surprised for this
reason said to myself Oh Allah what is the matter in this
respect.? Then that angel told me, Oh Tamim Ansari what
happened to you that you have talked with this cursed person. I
told him, Oh pious person may Allah bestow grace upon you
and so inform me who are you.?, and who is this person who
was imprisoned in the chains.? He told me that He was an
angel from the sky sent by Allah. This cursed person is antichrist
249
and who will come into the world at the time, day of judgment
and he will deceive all the mankind and misled all of them. The
prophet Mohammed (peace be upon) was described all his
details in his holy sayings and he was mentioned the some signs
before his coming into the world. The cursed one is asking with
you details in connection of the those signs.Oh Tamim Ansari
this is that the antichrist and I if would not come there, then he
would kill you immediately here in this jungle place and he will
not leave you alive. When I come to know this condition and
then return to my problem of wandering in the jungle and told
him that from such and such time he is wandering in the jungles
in surprised and worry condition and he is covering long
distance of travelling in the jungle by foot and in the mountain
area. For god sake, you guide me and show me the way so that I
can reach back to my home. That angle was ready to help and he
was accompanied by me and was showing me the way and he
told me To go on the way of the Qibla and do not see here and
there. If you leave this direction then you will lose your way.
Upon saying this the angle was vanished from there. As per the
guidance of the angle I was following the way as per shown by
the angel. In the day time I used to travel and eat grass and drink
water there and in the night time I used to sleep by eating grass
and water in the jungle areas. In this way long period of time
was passed away. One day by walking on feet what I was seen
that there is a big fort is there and its parapet are touching with
sky. I said in my heart that whatever there will be problems and
difficulties came there in the way, but he should visit the whole
area of the fort and should come to know the details of secret of
the big fort there. By thinking this I was entered in the fort by
walking very fast. What I see there is one table of sandal is
available there on which l saw emerald and costly pearls and
250
jewels are fixed on it. On one side there is a spread dining cloth
and on it there was available many kinds of rich food items and
water jugs with full of the water were also there. Oh the ruler of
the Muslims as I was very hunger so I have eaten plenty of the
food items and drank cold and cleaned water there. When I have
eaten then I was looking towards the rooms in the fort, which
are full of wealth, of gold and silver and jewelry and with its
there was very much shining was there. When I entered in the
room, then I found many people were killed there and were
lying and there were also many swords were there. When I
looked this bloodshed and killing them, I was surprised on this
killing and bloodshed. In the heart I said oh Allah what is the
reason of it, where ever I will go and in such places I used to
found surprised and wonderful things. It is matter of thanks of
Allah that he is safe and secure from any problem and
difficulty. And me Allah is taking in His custody. When I was
thinking this then I have seen four horse riders there who were
holding their swords in their hands and they were standing at the
doors. I was surprised to see them.In my heart told now it is
difficult to go away safely from there. They may kill him there.
But I said in my heart that one day I should will be dying and if
there will be death in such place then nobody will save him
there. So with courage I proceed towards those horse riders and
said to them Assalam Alaikum. They replied my Salam and
with kindness and favour they told me, Oh Taimim Ansari you
have suffered many hardships and problems in the journey. So
you should not lose your heart. If Allah wills, then you will
reach back to your home town successfully. Upon hearing this I
was very much happy and there were no limits of my joy in this
matter. I told him, There may be mercy of Allah on all of you
and please inform me who are you and how you have
251
finding a grand garden and thought in his heart that the old pious
person will be available there and whose signs were shown by a
pious person in the previous destination. So without any fear I
was entered into the garden freely. What I see there that inside
of the garden that there was found many kinds of the trees of
fruits were there and one pious person was there who was
praying under a tree. I said Salam to him and he was replying
my Salam and he said same phrases which were told by the
previous pious person in the previous garden. I told him the
whole story of my journey on the feet. Then he consoled me and
he said to me, Do not worry and upset with this matter as your
days of the worry and problems are over and if Allah wills he
will be returned back to his home town as soon as possible. But
do one work that the mountain which is seen before and upon
your reach there and on which you will find the graces of Allah
on that mountain. So for this reason as per order of that pious
person I went on the mountain very soon. Where I find that
there is a garden which is 1000 times very bigger than the
previous garden and in which there were large numbers of the
fruit trees were there and all were full of the fruits on the trees.
There was no such tree was there in which there will no fruits on
it. There were also many thousand trees were available there on
which there were available many kinds of the scented flowers
were there on the trees and flowers and fragrance were full in
the large garden area and many thousand lovely and beautiful
birds were chirping in the garden in melodious voices and there
was one canal in the garden. This was a very good place of
atmosphere. I have not seen and not heard by any such a grand
and beautiful garden in my whole journey and in my whole life
period. Oh the rulers of the Muslims I have visited well that
grand and beautiful garden and I have plucked very much fruits
253
from the trees and eaten too much fruit. I have not eaten such
best and better fruits in my whole life period. When I was thirsty
then I was search water here and there and after some time I
found one beautiful water reservoir there. I have reached there
and find its water clear and cleaned well with like a pearl as I
was thirsty so I drank very much water there. I have seen one
old woman who was sitting at the corner of the water reservoir
and who was wearing full of riches and jewels and her hairs
were in the curling style there and hanging at two sides of her
head. There was one Miswak (tooth brush) in her hand and in
the other hand she was having a big rosary. When she looked
towards me then I said Salam to her. But she did not reply my
Salam. And she was shown picked her beads and shown it to me
and she meant in this matter that she is engaged in reciting of
something there. So she could not able to reply me in this
matter. But at that time I could able understand the secret in this
matter and I asked her, Oh woman who are you? And why she
is sitting there.? And she is not talking and not giving reply to
my Salam to her. At that time from the corner of the garden
there was heard a horrible voice in which it was heard Oh
Tamim Ansari what you are doing.? Go immediately from this
place.? Whether you do not fear of Us.? Upon hearing this
voice I was afraid in this matter and somehow I left from there
and went to see the previous pious person. That person told me
Have you seen the divine power of Allah there.? I said Yes.
After some time I have asked by that old person that Who was
that person who have sent to me to see you here. And the
woman who was seen by me in the garden and who was in her
pretty and fine dress and who was she.? And whose horrible
sound was that.?. He said that He is prophet Ilyas (A.S.) and
I am prophet Khizer (A.S.) and that woman is the world and the
254
said Yes, there is one work that this person who belongs Ansari
tribe in Madina city and his name is Tamim Ansari and he is a
resident of Madina and he was taken by Black Devil in the 5th
region of the earth. By grace and favour of Allah, he was freed
from the claw of that devil. After facing many thousand
difficulties and many thousand problems he was reached here. I
have kept him here so that any cloud which will go to Madina
and take him along with him. As you are going to Madina so
taken him on your shoulder and take him to his house there. The
cloud came soon down as per instruction of Khaja Sahib and
who took me on his shoulder. Khaja Sahib said goodbye to me
and asked the cloud to leave from there. The cloud was covering
the journey of 200 years in one part of the day and it was
reached to Madina and falling there and rain was started. Oh,
ruler of the Muslims these are events which are passed on him.
After such hardships and difficulties and problems he was
reaching back to Madina city. When he was entered into his
house this event was happening there. It seems that everybody is
becoming his enemy.
When the ruler of the Muslims was heard, his whole story,
then on the witness of the Hazrat Ali bin Taleb (R.A.) so he was
given back the women to Hazrat Tamim Ansari and with whom
her second marriage was done was giving up and she was
separated from him. He was given advice to both of them and
sent back to their home.
After some days Hazrat Tamim Ansari left Madina for the
preaching of Islamic propagation mission work and while
visiting many places he was reached to Karachi port city and he
was staying there and he was dying there. He has his testament
that on his death to put his body in the coffin and put that coffin
256
in the sea water. Where the coffin reaches to the shore there
then he should be buried. When the coffin was reached on the
shore of the (Sadat Bandar) Kovalam Sharif by flow on the sea
water. The fishermen tried many thousand tricks to catch the
coffin, but they could not able to catch it. When this news
known to the ruler of the place the Nawab of Wallajah, Nawab
Muhammed Saadatullah Khan, so he himself came there at the
Kovalam seaport and he paid his attention towards the coffin,
then at that time coffin came near the ruler of the Kovalam.
When it was opened in which it was found the dead body of the
one pious person and the shroud was found in the coffin. It was
seen that the pious was dying just now. As per testament it was
known that pious persons name is Hazrat Tamim of Madina and
he belongs to the companions of the last prophet of Allah. At
that time the year was 75 Hegira year. About 400 years, this
coffin was flowing in the sea water and from red sea, Arabian
sea and it was reached to Indian ocean and at last it was reached
to Bay of Bengal. The above said ruler of the Kovalam was
performed funeral prayer and buried him at the same place and
he was constructed tomb over his grave and in the beginning of
the magazine his names and some details were mentioned.
The mausoleum

fishes during this time. Eventually, one big fish brought the
janazah Mubarak nearer to sea shore of Kovalam.
On the other hand, according to some accounts, the Nawab
of Wallajah, Nawab Muhammed Saadatullah Khan, had a dream
in which Syedna Hazrat Tameem bin Ahmed Ansari Razi Allahu
Thala Anhu requested him to proceed to Kovalam, where he
would find the latter's Janazah Mubarak on Kovalam beach, and
asked him to bury it there. When the Nawab reached the
beach, he found the Janazah Mubarak and when he opened the
same, he found the sacred body fresh along with some
documents, which proved that he was Sahabi-e-Rasool
Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Sallam.
The Nooraniyyath reflected from the sacred face of Syedna
Hazrat Tameem bin Ahmed Ansari Razi Allahu Thala Anhu
touched the hearts of the all who participated in the funeral
ceremony. The Nawab duly buried the sacred body of the great
shabby-e-Rasool sallalahu alaihi WA, Salem and built the
Dargah Shareef at the site.
